The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

#170: How To Prepare Blood Sugar For Extended Cardio Sessions.

In today’s episode Eoin and Graham go through more ways we can benefit our Diabetes management.


Exercise while living with Type 1 Diabetes can be ‘tricky’ at times. Eoin believes that having confidence around your preparation for exercise, gives you confidence for the exercise itself.


In this episode, Eoin goes through three tips that he uses to ensure his blood sugar stays in the place he wants, while doing extended cardio sessions (runs, walks, swims etc). In this episode specifically, he outlines the 3 step process for a recent 1.5km swim he did.


3 step process that Eoin covers:


  • Managing active IOB (insulin on board).
  • Increasing carbohydrate intake prior to exercise.
  • Setting times for pre exercise / food ‘window’.
