In today’s episode Eoin (@insuleoin) gives us insight into why insulin timing is so important, and how we can use it to our advantage with our Diabetes management.

A lot of the highs and lows that we see with our blood sugar may be coming from insulin dosing (insulin to carb ratios), but they also may be coming from “inaccurate” insulin timing (“pre bolus”).

Find out how to tell the difference between the two, and how to use insulin timing to increase your blood sugar time in range %, and ultimately, lower your A1C.

In today’s episode Eoin goes through his experience during the Hyrox competition in New York.

Hyrox is a fitness competition combining cardio based exercises with resistance and high intensity style workouts. It consists of 8 x 1km runs, and 8 exercise stations; ski, sled push, sled pull, burpees, rowing, farmer carries, lunges and wall ball squats.

While training for the physical side of the competition, Eoin needed to pay attention to how his blood sugar was going to “behave” throughout the event.

In this episode, Eoin talks about his strategies around:

• Reducing basal insulin.

• “Carb loading” in the days prior.

• Adjusting fast acting insulin.

• Carbohydrate intake and timing on the day of the competition.
