Canada: Mini-dose glucagon with or without a 50% reduction in CSII (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) basal delivery rate may decrease exercise-associated hypoglycemia (EAH) incidence in patients with type 1 diabetes, says a recent study. The study's findings appeared in the journal Diabetes Care on January 23 2023.
Glucagon is the standard of care for hypoglycaemia treatment. Ronnie Aronson from LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and colleagues aimed to determine the effect of ready-to-use, mini-dose glucagon on the incidence of exercise-associated hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes.
