Glycaemic impact of the pre‐exercise timing of an elevated glucose target implemented using an automated insulin delivery system in adults with type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

Glycaemia with exercise was excellent regardless of TT timing, which had no measurable effect on TBR during and post-exercise in a well-controlled cohort in the absence of a recent meal.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D using the Medtronic MiniMed 780G automated insulin delivery (AID) system; 16 exercise bouts each (12 afternoon: 40 and 90 min MIE, 40 min HIE; 4 morning 40 min MIE)
Participants
26 adults
Comparison
Temporary elevated glucose target set 20 min, 0 min or not set pre-exercise vs 60 min pre-exercise
Primary endpoint
TBR (<70 mg/dL)
Follow-up
Exercise commencement to 2 h post-exercise
Methodological detailswithin-participant comparison of 4 TT timing conditions, sign rank test vs TT60, Oral carbohydrate pre-exercise for glucose <100 mg/dL and during exercise for sensor glucose <70 mg/dL or confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia
  • Within-participant comparison of 4 TT timing conditions
  • Sign rank test vs TT60
  • Oral carbohydrate pre-exercise for glucose <100 mg/dL and during exercise for sensor glucose <70 mg/dL or confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia

Primary result

As reported in the abstract
