Continuous glucose monitoring before and after exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes on CSII

Introduction: Exercise is associated with an increased risk of hypo- or hyperglycemic events and it is difficult to find the optimal balance between carbohydrate uptake, insulin dose, and the level and duration of exercise to avoid acute blood glucose deteriorations. The aim of our study was to monitor the impact of exercise on the glucose profile in the 21 hours thereafter in patients with type 1 diabetes managed by CSII before and after a 14 day moderate or intense training program. Material and methods: Sixteen male patients (HbA1c 7.3±0.8% (mean±SD); age 39±11 years; BMI 26.0±2.7kg/m2) were enrolled in this…
