GUARDIA Trial Summary

This trial will study the best blood glucose target before exercise in people with type 1 diabetes using automated insulin delivery systems.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with Type 1 Diabetes using a DIY automated insulin delivery system for at least 3 months, an HbA1c below 8.5%, and on rapid or ultra-rapid acting insulin can join. They must own a smartphone/tablet and use specific apps to share data. Pregnant/breastfeeding individuals, those with recent major diabetes complications or physical activity restrictions due to severe diabetes-related issues are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing three different blood glucose targets set before exercise in people with Type 1 Diabetes using artificial pancreas systems. Participants will do aerobic exercises under each target condition to find the best one for managing hypoglycemia during/after physical activity.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study focuses on monitoring blood glucose levels around exercise rather than medication side effects, it may not have direct side effects like drugs do; however, risks might include low/high blood sugar from adjusting insulin.
