Nutritional intake when cycling under racing and training conditions in professional male cyclists with type 1 diabetes.

This study sought to detail and compare the in-ride nutritional practices of a group of professional cyclists with type 1 diabetes (T1D) under training and racing conditions. We observed seven male professional road cyclists with T1D (Age: 28 ± 4 years, HbA: 6.4 ± 0.

Passing on the exercise baton: What can endocrine patients learn from elite athletes?

As elite athletes demonstrate through the Olympic motto 'Citius, Altius, Fortius- Communiter', new performance records are driven forward by favourable skeletal muscle bioenergetics, cardiorespiratory, and endocrine system adaptations. At a recreational level, regular physical activity is an effective nonpharmacological therapy in the treatment of many endocrine conditions. However, the impact of physical exercise on endocrine function and how best to incorporate exercise therapy into clinical care are not well understood.

Factors Influencing Insulin Absorption Around Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes.

Clinical expert and international diabetes organizations' position statements support the management of good glycemia during acute physical exercise by adjusting exogenous insulin and/or carbohydrate intake.
