In this special ADA 2025 edition of Beyond the Bolus, host Nancy Hanna sits down with Dr Dessi Zaharieva to talk about the most challenging aspects of diabetes management - Exercise.
In this episode, Dr Zaharieva breaks down key takeaways from her co-authored international consensus statement on using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems during physical activity.
Topics covered included how to manage planned VS unplanned exercise using AID systems, why setting a higher glucose target 1-2 hours before physical activity makes a difference and the importance of a strategic approach to carbs to help prevent hypoglycaemia. Whether you’re supporting patients in the clinic or helping them prepare for spontaneous workouts, this conversation offers evidence-based, real-world strategies to make exercise safer, simpler, and more enjoyable for people living with diabetes.
