Why the study?
The benefits of exercise for patients with type 1 diabetes are difficult to balance with associated glycaemic excursions.
Does continuous glucose monitoring improve time in glucose range during exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps?
Comparison
Week 2 vs week 1 following CGM training and run-in
Design
Cohort study
Follow-up
3 weeks
Key result
Continuous glucose monitoring increased time in target glucose range during exercise from 72% to 88% (p=0.05) in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Does continuous glucose monitoring improve time in glucose range during exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps?
Absolute Event Rate: 88% vs 72%
p-value: p=0.05
Continuous glucose monitoring may improve time in target glucose range and reduce hyperglycemia during moderate-to-high intensity exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes on insulin pumps.
Abdulrahman et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Type 1 diabetes (n=6). Continuous glucose monitoring vs. Week 1 (baseline) was evaluated on Change in time in range (glucose 3.9-10.0 mmol/L) from week 1 to week 2 during exercise (p=0.05). Continuous glucose monitoring increased time in target glucose range during exercise from 72% to 88% (p=0.05) in patients with type 1 diabetes.
