Synopsis

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

Written by exercise physiologists Sam Scott, PhD, and Simon Helleputte, PhD, the book draws on clinical research, applied sports science and experience supporting recreational and professional athletes living with type 1 diabetes.

It is designed for people living with T1D, as well as coaches, healthcare professionals, researchers, students and family members who want a deeper understanding of exercise and glucose management.

Whether you are beginning to exercise, returning after a break or training for an endurance event, Empowered provides the scientific foundation needed to approach exercise with greater understanding and confidence.
