Physical Activity Is Associated With Improved Glycemic Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Youth With Type 1 Diabetes: 4T Exercise Program.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Teamwork, Targets, Technology, and Tight Range (4T) Exercise Program evaluated physical activity patterns across the first year of type 1 diabetes diagnosis and whether physical activity was associated with changes in glucose outcomes in the 24 h following physical activity.

Research design and methods

The 4T Exercise Program started newly diagnosed youth with type 1 diabetes on a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system and physical activity tracker around 1 month postdiagnosis. A subset of youth opted to participate in up to four quarterly structured exercise education sessions to increase their knowledge around safe physical activity.

Results

Ninety-eight youth with type 1 diabetes (median [interquartile range (IQR)] age of 13 [12-15] years, 45% fem
