Abstract

Managing training and competition with type 1 diabetes is complicated, but not impossible. Athletes, and their diabetes care providers, should be aware of everything that might impact blood glucose responses to exercise. These factors include the type, timing, intensity and duration of exercise, as well as the timing and size of insulin dosage adjustments and carbohydrate intake. Due to differences in physiology (age, sex, fitness levels, etc.) there is no "one size fits all" solution, however, with careful planning and record-keeping, athletes with type 1 diabetes have the same opportunities for success in their sport as everyone else.
