Is it better to reduce basal insulin rate or remove insulin pump before exercise in type 1 diabetes?
The aim of this study was to investigate if reducing basal insulin rate (BRR) 90-minutes before exercise was better at preventing hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood glucose) than suspending the insulin pump (pump suspension; PS) in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main finding was that BRR 90-minutes before exercise improved blood glucose control and reduced hypoglycemia compared to PS.
