Exercise and nutrition management of type 1
This presentation examines the interplay between exercise, nutrition, and glycaemic control in Type 1 diabetes management. It explores evidence-based strategies for carbohydrate adjustment, insulin modification, and timing of physical activity to optimise performance whilst minimising hypo- and hyperglycaemia risk. The talk will cover practical approaches to supporting individuals with Type 1 diabetes across different exercise intensities and durations, with consideration of individual variability and technology use
- By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Explain the physiological responses to different types of exercise in Type 1 diabetes and their impact on blood glucose management
- Describe evidence-based nutrition and insulin adjustment strategies to support safe and effective exercise participation
- Apply practical approaches to individualised exercise and nutrition planning for people with Type 1 diabetes across varying activity levels
