#253: How To Approach Insulin Strategies For Different Types Of Meals With Type 1 Diabetes, with Meg Cremins

In today’s episode Eoin speaks with Meg Cremins (@megtypeone).


Meg is a Registered Dietician, Personal Trainer, and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes herself, since the age of 5.


Admittedly, Meg hasn’t always managed her Diabetes to the standard that she does now, and found her teen years particularly difficult. She doesn’t have any regret over this, as she feels that her experience up to this point has led her to where she is now, and she wouldn’t be running her own business otherwise.


Eoin and Meg dive deep into the nutritional aspects of managing Type 1 Diabetes, and their philosophies around it.


These topics include:


  • How they both view their nutrition living with Type 1 Diabetes.
  • Why having flexibility is important.
  • The different insulin strategies needed for different meals.
  • How to actually make beneficial changes with your management.
  • How to bolus for fat and protein meals, compared to carbohydrate meals.
  • And much more!
