    Abstract:
    Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems help diabetes management in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) but could have lower accuracy during exercise. We aim to evaluate the dynamics of CGM accuracy during exercise in patients with T1D. Secondary analysis of data was carried out on 22 patients with T1D (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c]: 7.3% ± 1.0%, diabetes duration: 23 ± 13 years), who did three exercise sessions (45 min at 60% VO2max on an ergocycle, 3 h postmeal) with paired Dexcom G4 Platinum, and capillary glucose values that were collected every 5 min. Dexcom accuracy was evaluated using sensor bias (SB) and absolute relative difference (ARD). For dynamics of SB analysis, data pairs following hypoglycemia correction were excluded. The analyzed data included 792 pairs (594 during 66 exercise sessions, 198 at rest before exercise). Median ARD was 8.44 (5.35-12.13)% at rest and increased to 16.77 (10.75-26.72)% during exercise (P < 0.001). During exercise, mean SB values evolved from T0 minutes = 5.95 ± 16.04 mg/dL (exercise start); T5 = 9.55 ± 16.40; T10 = 13.51 ± 18.02; T15 = 15.32 ± 20.36; T20 = 17.30 ± 18.92; T25 = 19.46 ± 17.48; T30 = 21.08 ± 19.64; T35 = 19.10 ± 20.36; T40 = 19.82 ± 20.18; and T45 = 18.02 ± 20.90 (exercise end). CGM overestimated capillary at a mean SB of 14.23 ± 16.76 mg/dL over the whole exercise session. CGM accuracy decreased during moderate aerobic exercise as previously described. However, the trend to overestimate capillary glucose was maintained at relatively stable values within 15 min of exercise initiation, which could help patients in their clinical decisions. Similar analyses would be needed for other types of exercise.
