Why the study?
Fear of hypoglycemia is the main barrier to exercise uptake in people with type 1 diabetes, and CGM with predictive alarms may improve self-management around exercise.
Does continuous glucose monitoring with a predictive hypoglycemia alert reduce hypoglycemia during and after physical activity in people with type 1 diabetes?
Does continuous glucose monitoring with a predictive hypoglycemia alert reduce hypoglycemia during and after physical activity in people with type 1 diabetes?
A predictive hypoglycemia alert on a continuous glucose monitor reduces exposure to severe hypoglycemia (<2.8 mmol/L) in the 24 hours following exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Predictive alerts warrant activation for exercise in type 1 diabetes; confirms randomized benefit for post-exercise hypoglycemia prevention.
