Abstract
Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring Increases Vigorous Physical Activity Levels and Is Associated With Reduced Hypoglycemia Avoidance Behavior in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes
Highlights
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), previously termed as juvenile diabetes, represents a complex, multi-factorial, autoimmune disorder, characterized by an impaired production and release of insulin by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
The present study investigated the association of use of modern diabetes management with physical activity (PA) levels in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in relation to other PA determinants, mainly the fear of hypoglycemia and reported number of hypoglycemia episodes
E.g., pump vs. injection, did not seem to affect PA levels in youth with T1D, continuous blood glucose monitoring (CGM) users engaged in more vigorous PA (VPA) and had lower individual Children’s Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (CHFS)-B scores than other groups
Summary
Type 1 diabetes (T1D), previously termed as juvenile diabetes, represents a complex, multi-factorial, autoimmune disorder, characterized by an impaired production and release of insulin by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. According to the Global Burden of Disease, from 1990 to 2017, worldwide, the age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates have slightly increased from 5.1 (95% uncertainty interval or UI 4.6–5.6) to 5.4 (95%UI 4.9–6.0), and from 161.7 (95%UI 146.1–180.7) to 164.8 (95%UI 148.4–184.9), respectively. An opposite trend could be observed for the age-standardized rate decreased for mortality and disability-adjusted life year (DALY), which is the computed number of years lost due to ill-health. Both these rates decreased from 5.7 (95%UI 5.2–6.3) to 4.3 (95%UI 4.0–4.7), and from 164.0 (95%UI 151.8–180.7) to 129.4 (95%UI 121.3–137.6), respectively [2]
