Use of continuous glucose monitoring for sport in type 1 diabetes.

Background: The benefits of exercise for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are difficult to balance with associated glycaemic excursions. The aim of this cohort study was to show that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) could reduce glycaemic excursions in patients with T1D already using insulin pumps, exercising at moderate to high intensity.

Methods: Questionnaires were used to identify patients with T1D using insulin pumps and naive to CGM use, who reported regular exercise.
