๐ป Ken jij onze 'From Science to Practice Webinars' al?
๐ฌ Dr. Simon Helleputte ging tijdens dergelijke webinar in op het belang en de toepassing van fysieke activiteit en sport bij type 1 diabetes en vertelt tijdens dit interview meer over de meerwaarde van dit navormingsformat.

Find our latest paper on physical activity and cardiometabolic health indices in people with type 1 diabetes here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jnXlโฆ
#type1diabetes #physicalactivity @MariekeDC @MCRiddell1 @ResearchUGent
Main conclusion: Higher levels of PA, lower sedentary behaviour and greater exercise capacity are favourably associated with long-term glycaemic control, body composition, insulin dosage, estimated insulin sensitivity and arterial stiffness in adults with T1D.
Nice to see that exercise metabolism and especially insulin sensitivity - one of my main research interests - is a popular topic on the @EASDnews conference in Madrid. Nina Sloth Nielsen was presenting some interesting preliminary findings on the acute effects of exercise (1/4)
I think the answer lies in the middle, but also more attention is needed for the liver (!) and for research into separating exercise-stimulated glucose uptake from insulin, which is in fact not captured by these tests. Hence, more to be explored:-) (3/4)

What I love about this app from โฆ@enhance_dโฉ is my ability to isolate my #TIR just during my #exercise. I can tell in retrospect I need to work on fuelling earlier to prevent the #hypo shown in red. Thanks โฆ@SamNathanScottโฉ and โฆ@FedeYFontanaโฉ
