Net-IOB & Exercise Toolkit Pilot Trial: Randomized, Crossover Evaluation of a Behavioral Decision Support Advisor to Improve Glycemic Safety During and After Exercise in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes (NEXT)
Stanford University
Summary
This study evaluates a clinician-facing decision-support toolkit designed to assist adults with type 1 diabetes in preparing for moderate-intensity exercise. The netIOB \& Exercise Toolkit (NEXT) integrates recent glucose data and insulin delivery history to provide individualized suggestions regarding exercise timing, insulin adjustments, and carbohydrate intake. Adults with type 1 diabetes will complete three supervised exercise sessions under different pre-exercise guidance approaches: (A) published consensus-based standard-of-care guidance, (B) usual personal care routines, and (C) guidance informed by the NEXT Toolkit. A healthy adult control group will complete a single supervised exercise session to provide comparative physiologic data.
Description
People with type 1 diabetes frequently experience variable glucose responses before, during, and after physical activity, including exercise-associated hypoglycemia and the need for unplanned carbohydrate intake. Although consensus-based recommendations exist to guide exercise preparation, many individuals continue to rely on trial-and-error strategies that can be burdensome or difficult to generalize across activities. This study evaluates the netIOB \& Exercise Toolkit (NEXT), a software-based, clinician-facing decision-support system intended to contextualize exercise preparation using rec…
