Glycemic Responses to Two Different Exercise Modalities in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Using Automated Insulin Delivery Systems: The AIDing Exercise Study

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

When applying consensus guideline preexercise recommendations, both exercise modalities achieved generally stable glycemic outcomes; however, hypoglycemia remained a challenge across study visits. These findings highlight that current AID systems still fall short of ensuring safe glycemic responses during exercise.

Study context

Population
Adolescents with T1D using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems (12 MiniMed 780G, 12 Tandem Control-IQ), with consensus guideline preexercise preparatory measurescrossover
Participants
24 adolescents
Comparison
HIIE vs moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE)
Primary endpoint
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived TIR (3.9-10.0 mmol/L [70-180 mg/dL])
Methodological detailstwo-period, matched on age, sex and total daily dose across AID systems
