Diabetes Technol TherPublished Observational study

Authors' conclusion

No serious or severe hypoglycemic episodes were recorded during PA performed 90 min after lunch.

Study context

Population
Caucasian children and adolescents aged 9–18 years with T1D using t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology, recruited at a local sporting event; low-dose meal insulin (reduced by 50%) 90 min before physical activity (PA)2 refused PA
Participants
26 children
Exposure
Endurance then power activities vs power then endurance activities
  • Group An = 13
  • Group Bn = 11
Outcome
TIR during 2-h of outdoor PA
Follow-up
2-h of outdoor PA
