#47: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and Type 1 Diabetes.

In today’s episode Eoin speaks all about HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

HIIT has become increasingly more popular over recent years. It’s been the go-to exercise regime during lockdown as you don’t need huge amounts of space, you can use just your bodyweight for all exercises, you don’t need gym equipment and you can work up a heavy sweat in a very short space of time (10 - 30 mins).

But, just because HIIT is a convenient way to exercise, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to control blood sugar if you’re Diabetic. Much like all areas of exercise, HIIT can and will have an impact on your blood sugar levels - almost immediately and potentially for hours afterwards too.

Eoin outlines what to expect from your blood sugar during a HIIT workout, a few strategies you can use to ensure your blood sugar is kept at a safe range during, and what tactics need to be implemented after your workout, so you’re confident your levels stay consistent.
