Table 1.

Strengths and Limitations of Current Commercially Available CL Systems During Exercise.

Strengths Limitations
• Responsive to changes in glucose
• Devices are portable
• Improved time-in-range during exercise
• Most systems are waterproof or water-resistant
• Device performance is not significantly impacted by exercise
• Preplanning required due to slow onset and offset of subcutaneously delivered insulin
• CGM and cannula site adhesive may be affected by sweat
• Inability to automatically recognize exercise versus rest
• CGM accuracy can be impacted with rapid changes in glucose during exercise

Abbreviations: CL, closed loop; CGM, continuous glucose monitoring.
