May heighten hypoglycemia risk during postprandial exercise with pumps; leaves open whether this warrants regimen-specific guidance in Type 1 diabetes.
Does continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion compared to conventional injection therapy alter the postprandial blood glucose response to exercise in Type I diabetes?
Pump therapy leads to a faster fall in blood glucose during postprandial exercise compared to conventional injection therapy, potentially increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
Koivisto et al. (1983) studied this question.
