Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) with a predictive algorithm to suspend insulin delivery has the potential to reduce hypoglycemia, a known obstacle in improving physical activity in patients with type 1 diabetes. The predictive low glucose management (PLGM) system employs a predictive algorithm that suspends basal insulin when hypoglycemia is predicted. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of this algorithm in the prevention of exercise-induced hypoglycemia under in-clinic conditions. METHODS: This was a randomized, controlled cross-over study in which 25 participants performed 2 consecutive sessions of 30 min of moderate-intensity exercise while on basal conti..
