Welcome and introductions

PEAK Background and Rationale

In this module, we will discuss the role of exercise as a pillar of diabetes management as well as explore the benefits and barriers to exercise for people with diabetes. It will also introduce how the PEAK program will provide a foundation for insulin, glucose, and fuelling strategies to lower barriers and discuss strategies for implementing exercise into the diabetes care plan.

Physiology

In this module, we will use two clinical case scenarios to demonstrate the hormonal and metabolic responses to various types of exercise in individuals with type 1 diabetes. We will also illustrate the mechanisms for the maintenance of euglycemia, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia during and after exercise.

Nutrition

In this module, we will review nutrition goals for active people with type 1 diabetes. We will identify key areas of nutrition advice to support goals for exercise and understand key questions to ask in order to provide individual nutrition advice.

Glycemic Management

Here we will learn about patient’s exercise goals, different exercise types and the differences in glycemic management in individuals with type 1 diabetes. We will discuss insulin dose and carbohydrate intake adjustments to prevent hypoglycemia and severe glycemic variations during and after exercise.
