Workshop 4 and 9 Helping Endurance Athletes Manage Diabetes Anne Peters, MD Saturday, February 18, 2017 2:00 p.m. 3:30 p.m. The treatment of diabetes involves ensuring adequate delivery of fuel to muscle. During, particularly in elite athletes, this can be a particular challenge. However, due to new insulins and technology we are better able to help athletes with diabetes succeed. This talk will discuss the barriers to and competition in individuals with diabetes, and will detail approaches to overcome them. Case studies of successful athletes will be discussed and conclusions for helping all individuals with type 1 diabetes achieve their goals will be shared. References: 1.

Why Should People with Diabetes Exercise? All adults should decrease the amount of time spent in daily sedentary behavior Prolonged sitting should be interrupted with bouts of light activity every 30 minutes for glucose benefits Additionally, daily structured, not allowing more than 2 days to elapse between sessions, is recommended to enhance insulin action. Ideally should consist of both aerobic and resistance training Additional Recommendations for T1D Blood glucose responses to PA in all people with type 1 diabetes are highly variable based on activity type/timing and require different adjustments May need adjustments in carbohydrate intake and/or insulin requirements.

Immediately post- there is a rapid decrease in catecholamines and increase in insulin levels with restoration of muscle glycogen Gallen IW et al.

Strategies For Reducing Hypoglycemia During Exercise The Ideal Strategy Advantages Disadvantages Pre- or post sprint pump therapy Reducing basal insulin post Reduces hypos following Offers flexibility and rapid change in insulin infusion rates post Reduces nocturnal hypoglycemia Effect limited to shorter and less intense. No effect on late hypoglycemia Expensive.

If ketones modestly elevated (0.6-1.4 mmol/l), limit to a light intensity for a brief duration (<30 min). A small pre- corrective dose of insulin might be needed. If blood ketones >1.5 mmol/l, is contraindicated and glucose management should be initiated rapidly by the patients diabetes health care team.
