Introduction: Physical activity (PA), along with insulin adjustments and food intake for its purpose, can cause dysglycemia for people with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D), acting as a major barrier to activity. It is unclear if automated insulin delivery (AID) systems improve this situation.
Methods: Observational study in real-life conditions to assess time in, below or above range (TIR, TBR [< 70mg/dl], TAR [> 180 mg/dl]) and glucose variability (CV%) during PA, 1-h post-, 4-h post-PA compared to non-PA periods with continuous glucose monitors. Participants also completed a PA log for 6 weeks including PA type (continuous, intermittent or resistance) and duration. Data were analyzed using a mixed model with Bonferroni correction for post-hoc comparisons.
Results: We enrolled 22 PWT1D using AID (8 males, age: 48.7 ± 13.2 years, A1c: 6.7 ± 0.5%). Participants recorded a total of 339 PA sessions (mean 15 ± 13 [5 - 64]; 251 continuous, 59 intermittent, 29 resistance) lasting 60.9 ± 55.6 min (10 - 430 min). We found no significant effect of PA type on TIR, TBR, TAR or CV during, 1-h post or 4-h post PA. TBR as well as TAR during, 1-h and 4-h PA were comparable to non-PA periods. CV was higher in non-PA periods. All values for TBR, TAR and CV remained within optimal recommended ranges (Table).
Conclusion: PWT1D using AID successfully manage PA. Respective roles of AID algorithm and adaptive behaviors need to be investigated on a larger sample size.
