Summary :
Advanced insulin pump strategies can provide certain advantages to the diabetic athlete.

Adjustment of (pre-meal and basal) insulin doses and carbohydrate consumption according to the intensity and duration of physical activity are important considerations in diabetic people who exercise, in particular those who practice exercise of higher intensity and/or long duration.

Dr. Perkins addresses some basic principles of exercise physiology and metabolic complications of exercise in diabetes, as well as the theoretical benefits of insulin pump therapy and clinical strategies for its optimal use in diabetic patients who exercise.
