Introducing the Exercise Wheel and the Consensus Recommendations for managing Type 1 Diabetes during exercise are the focus of this conversation between host Kate Neal - Clinical Services Manager at Insulet - and Dr. Othmar Moser - a leading expert in exercise physiology and metabolism from the University of Bayreuth and the University of Graz.
There is new guidance developed by European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD), which provide evidence-based recommendations for managing glucose levels during planned and unplanned physical activities using AID Systems like Omnipod 5 – hear what they are and how they’ll impact your patients on this episode of Within Range.
Dr Moser shares strategies for insulin dosing and carbohydrate consumption to maintain optimal glycemic levels during exercise and explains how to empower patients with practical advice using the AID wheel. The wheel is a tool developed by the authors of the consensus guidance, which address patient concerns around the fear of hypoglycemia. It’s a visual way of explaining how planned and unplanned activities are going to impact glucose levels, and by giving detailed recommendations on adjusting insulin dosage, it helps HCPs and patients manage their physical activity more confidently and safely.
(This episode was recorded live at Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Amsterdam.)
