Looking for advice on exercising safely while using an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), otherwise known as an automated insulin delivery (AID) system? Our new guide is here to help and answer all your questions.
Whether you’re new to using an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or looking to feel more confident during physical activity, understanding how exercise affects your glucose levels is the first step.
Exercise offers significant benefits for people living with T1D, from improved insulin sensitivity and increased time in range to long-term health outcomes. But knowing how to manage your insulin pump and CGM around different types of activity can feel challenging.
That’s why we’ve created a free, comprehensive guide to exercising safely with T1D using an AID system. The guide covers:
- different kinds of exercise and how they impact glucose levels
- recognising and preventing hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia while exercising
- a guide to high glucose levels and ketones
- timing and other factors that can influence glucose levels
- what to adjust on each AID system
- different AID system exercise guidelines
- eating, exercise and AID systems
- sport-specific considerations
- strategies for your devices.
The guide also includes personal experiences from community members who live with T1D (read their full stories here), and includes a foreword by Professor Othmar Moser, one of the leading experts in the field who lives with T1D himself.
