Background: The prevention of postexercise nocturnal hypoglycemia after prolonged physical activity using sensor-augmented pump (SAP) therapy with predictive low-glucose management (PLGM) has not been well studied. We conducted a study at a pediatric diabetes camp to determine whether a SAP with PLGM reduces the frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemia after prolonged physical activity more effectively than a SAP with a carbohydrate intake algorithm.

Methods: During a 1-week sport camp, 20 children (aged 10-13 years) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) managed by SAP therapy either with (n = 7) or without PLGM (n = 13) were studied.
