Optimal predictive low glucose management settings during physical exercise in adolescents with type 1 diabetes

ConclusionsA PLGM threshold of 90  mg/dL during the night was associated with reduced time in hypoglycemia in adolescents doing frequent physical exercise, while maintaining 65.1% time in range during the day. However, a threshold of 70 mg/dL seems to be safe in the duration of the physical exercise. PLGM system in adolescents w ith type 1 diabetes was effective to prevent hypoglycemia during and after exercise, irrespective of the PLGM thresholds used.
