Glucose variations during driving in people with type 1 diabetes using a continuous glucose monitoring system
Diabetes Care May 30, 2019
Schmied LS, et al. - Because hypoglycemic events that occur during driving are life-threatening complications in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), researchers examined interstitial fluid (ISF) glucose when driving under real-life circumstances. For this investigation, they measured ISF glucose using a continuous glucose monitoring system in 10 participants with stable T1D during a 2-hour driving course. The investigators observed an increase in ISF glucose associated with driving. No specific changes in glucose were observed under control conditions at the same time of the day without driving. Real-life driving in this cohort with well-controlled T1D may have caused an initial increase in glucose followed by reducing glucose values. The researchers noted, however, that these findings may be limited to the population of the selected study.
