The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

Show Notes

Earlier this year, Eoin booked an Ironman on his birthday as a gift to himself.

Now, with race day just around the corner, he breaks down what the last six months of preparation have actually looked like while managing Type 1 Diabetes.

In this episode, Eoin talks through the physical training, managing his time around Ironman prep, nutrition, carb loading, and the adjustments he’s made with insulin, ratios and his overall Diabetes management along the way.

He also shares what the final week before the Ironman looks like, what he’s learned throughout the process, and how he’s preparing to get himself to the start line in the best position possible.

This episode gives an insight into Eoin’s personal experience of preparing for an Ironman while living with Type 1 Diabetes, and the lessons he’s picked up along the way.
