Statement of Need
Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) face a significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to their peers without diabetes.

This podcast will highlight the benefits of exercise in preventing cardiovascular disease, describe the advantages of sports activities, and outline clinical guidelines for safe exercise practices in adolescents with T1DM.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the benefits of exercise in the management of adolescent patients with Type 1 diabetes.
- Describe potential glycemic management strategies during times of sport/activity in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.
- Review the role of technology and future advancements in the management of diabetes.
