Trial Outcomes & Findings for Accelerometer Use in the Prevention of Exercise-Associated Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes: Outpatient Exercise Protocol (NCT NCT02047643)

NCT ID: NCT02047643

On-algorithm First, Then Off-algorithm
Users participated in two sports camp sessions while wearing an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, and accelerometer/heart rate monitor (to detect exercise), which can communicate electronically to a pump shutoff algorithm that insulin delivery should be shut off. On one sports day, the algorithm was turned on; on the other day, the algorithm was turned off. If the computer algorithm senses impending risk for hypoglycemia it sends an alert to an on-site physician to recommend a manual suspension of the subject's insulin pump.
