Small study tests blood sugar targets to prevent lows during exercise in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT05821322
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at people with type 1 diabetes who use do-it-yourself automated insulin delivery (DIY-AID) systems. Researchers wanted to find the best blood glucose target to set 60 minutes before moderate aerobic exercise (like cycling) to keep blood sugar stable and avoid dangerous lows. They planned to test three different targets in 32 people, but only 6 enrolled before the study was stopped early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- aerobic exercise (60 minutes on a stationary bike at moderate intensity)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help people with type 1 diabetes using DIY automated insulin delivery systems exercise more safely by identifying the best blood glucose target to start with.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, early study (only 6 participants) that was terminated early, so results are limited. The findings may not apply to other exercise types or people using different insulin systems.
