T1D Closed-loop and Physical Activity

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

Summary

"Physical activity is recognized as beneficial for patients living with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), with a demonstrated effect not only on HbA1c control \[1\] but also on reducing the incidence of diabetes-related complications \[2,3\]. It is recommended that patients living with T1DM perform 150 minutes of accumulated physical activity per week, without exceeding two consecutive days without physical activity \[4\]. Indeed, one meta-analysis reported that moderately vigorous activity (≥4.5 METs) was beneficial compared with lower-intensity activity, while three other studies noted that only vigorous physical activity (≥6 METs) predicted lower all-cause mortality rates \[5\]. However, T1DM can represent a major obstacle to physical activity because of the occurrence of fairly frequent hypoglycemia, including after physical effort, the need for early resugaring but also the risk of hyperglycemia (rebound or with certain activities) \[6\]. The advent of automated insulin delivery systems has led to a significant improvement in time on target and a reduction in the frequency of hypoglycemia, including during physical activity in some studies \[7-9\]. The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate, in a cohort of patients with T1DM, whether the implementation of a closed-loop automated insulin delivery system increases physical activity in patients with T1DM. Based on the interpretation of the ONAPS-PAQ \[10\], the investigator hypothesize that the implementation of the closed-loop system enables an individual to reach the 3000 MET/min/week threshold (considered ""Active+"" from this threshold onwards).
