Automated insulin delivery system use and physical activity levels in adults with type 1 diabetes: A BETTER registry analysis
Authors' conclusion
Compared with other treatment modalities, AID users within the BETTER T1D registry tended to engage in more frequent and longer PA. However, these differences may be attributed to sociodemographic factors rather than the technologies themselves. Our study also shows a low percentage of participants meeting PA recommendations. Continued research and development on diabetes technologies, more personalized interventions and public health strategies are needed.
