Summary
This pilot study tests a software tool called NEXT that gives personalized advice on insulin and carbohydrate adjustments before and after exercise for adults with type 1 diabetes. Twenty participants will try three different approaches to managing their blood sugar around exercise: standard guidelines, their usual routine, and the NEXT toolkit. The goal is to see if the tool helps keep blood sugar in a safe range during and after physical activity.
