Improved glycaemic variability and basal insulin dose reduction during a running competition in recreationally active adults with type 1 diabetes-A single-centre, prospective, controlled observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To investigate the glycaemic response, macronutrient intake and insulin management in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to healthy individuals around a running competition.

Material and methods

This was a single-centre, prospective, controlled observational study performed in individuals with T1D and healthy people. 24 people (12 T1D) were included in this study (age: T1D 41±12 vs. healthy 38±6 years, females: 3 vs. 6, BMI: 25.53.0 vs. 22.9±2.8 kg/m2). Both groups received an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM; FreeStyle Libre 1, Abbott, USA) system to assess glycaemia 24 hours before, during and 24 hours after a running competition. During this period, participants recorded their food intake and insulin administration. Data wer
