How are you managing your diabetes @spickavance ?

So when you say you have sorted out your breakfast insulin what does that mean? Perfect blood sugars after breakfast?

What time of day are you doing crossfit? What sort of impact is that having on your blood sugar, or is it very variable depending on what the work out is? I did an introductory crossfit course for a month and I really enjoyed it (with baby training weights) but my blood sugars really didn't like it are I was getting horrible prolonged highs during and after a workout and correcting for that combined with my body belatedly realising it had done some exercise led to some pretty good hypos. So I decided not to continue with it because I found the insulin balance too much of a fight.

There are lots of type 1s doing crossfit in the Facebook group type 1 diabetic athletes, so it is doable, but takes a bit of work. But that might be a good group for you to join and seek advice in.

What do you do regarding food/bolus before Crossfit?
