Empowered: The Science of Exercise with Type 1 Diabetes by Dr Sam Scott PhD

Exercise with type 1 diabetes should not have to feel like constant guesswork. Why does glucose fall during one workout but rise during another? How do insulin on board, exercise intensity, carbohydrates, timing and continuous glucose monitoring affect the response? And how can you learn what works for your own body? Empowered: The Science of Exercise with Type 1 Diabetes explains the physiology behind these questions and translates the evidence into practical considerations for exercise, training and competition. Inside, you will learn: • Why aerobic, resistance and high-intensity exercise can produce different glucose responses • How starting glucose, insulin on board, nutrition and exercise timing interact • What to consider before, during and after exercise • How CGM, insulin pumps and automated insulin-delivery systems can support exercise management • How to approach endurance training, competition, recovery and environmental challenges • What the evidence says about carbohydrate restriction, performance and exercise with T1D Read more
