TABLE 1.

 Sensor glucose targets in advance of exercise in regard to different groups of people with type 1 diabetes

Note: Sensor glucose targets are detailed for the following groups in type 1 diabetes (T1D): intensively exercising and/or low risk of hypoglycaemia (Ex 2); moderately exercising and/or moderate risk of hypoglycaemia (Ex 1); minimally exercising and/or high risk of hypoglycaemia (Ex 0).

When reaching the required sensor glucose level to start exercise, only consume carbohydrates again when trend arrow is starting to decrease.

These recommendations are not applicable to hybrid closed‐loop systems.

Green shading, no/minimal action required; light‐yellow shading, minimal/moderate action required; dark‐yellow shading, moderate/intense action required; red shading, no/delay exercise.

AE, mild‐to‐moderate intensity aerobic exercise; CHO, carbohydrate; Ex, exercise; HIT, high‐intensity training; hypo, hypoglycaemia; RT, resistance training.

^aRecommendation for older adults with coexisting chronic illnesses and intact cognitive and functional status.

^bRecommendation for older adults with coexisting chronic illnesses or two or more instrumental ADL impairments or mild‐to‐moderate cognitive impairment.

^c50% of regular insulin correction factor when sensor glucose is close to the upper threshold.

^dDelay exercise until reaching at least 5.0 mmoL/L (90 mg/dL) and , , or

^eDelay exercise until reaching at least 3.9‐4.9 mmoL/L (70‐89 mg/dL) and

^fDelay exercise until reaching a sensor glucose of 3.9‐4.9 mmoL/L (70‐89 mg/dL) with an arrow if an increase in sensor glucose is expected during exercise, or delay exercise until reaching at least 5.0 mmoL/L (90 mg/dL) and , , or if a decrease in sensor glucose during exercise is expected.
