Fear of hypoglycemia limits physical activity in adults with type 1 diabetes

Despite high use of continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy, fear of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) remains a significant barrier to physical activity and exercise for adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), according to new research to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Madrid (9-13 Sept).
