It includes therapeutic strategies on the type of exercise, intensive capillary glycemic control or through the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and the adequacy of insulin therapy and carbohydrate intake. It is prioritized that to optimize the benefits of exercise as part of the treatment of DM1, a complete and constant diabetes education is important, provided by an interdisciplinary team trained in the comprehensive management of children and adolescents with DM1.
