Abstract

Double diabetes (DD) refers to patients with type 1 diabetes who have developed insulin resistance. The objective of this review is to update relevant information on the prescription of physical activity, pharmacological adjustments and consumption of carbohydrates in DD. A systematic search for scientific articles was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane, EBSCO, WoS, ScienceDirect and Medline. The evidence analyzed shows that both physical activity (PA) and physical exercise (PE) are essential to achieve metabolic control in people with DD. Physiological considerations such as: insulin adjustments, insulin injection sites, time to perform PA and PE, absolute and relative contraindications are essential to avoid complications, especially hypoglycemia.
