Risk factors of hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes individuals during intensive sport exercise—Data from the SPORTGIVECHANCE event

Abstract: Aims:Fear of hypoglycaemia seems to be one of the strongest barrier to physical activity for individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).The aim of the study was to describe clinical characteristics of participants with T1DM in the intense sporting event of runs and bike rides"SPORTGIVECHANCE-Diabetic runners and cyclists for more sport for all in Europe", and investigate factors associated with self-reported hypoglycaemia episodes during the competition, in particular the use of continuous and flash gluc… Show more

“…It is widely accepted that individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus using intensive insulin therapy can practice almost all types of physical activity, even extreme types, such as very high mountain climbing, ultramarathons and combat sports 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 . Practicing sports by individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, however, might be challenging because of possible difficulties in maintaining glucose control, including the risk of hypoglycemic events.…”

However, there is limited data regarding the relationship between glycemia during physical activity and nighttime glycemia in the context of a real-life large sports tournament.…”
