Children with Type 1 Diabetes (aged eight to 12 years) are needed for a new trial into Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and exercise.
Researchers are trying to find out if responding to CGM levels and trends during physical activity can help keep glucose levels steady.
For the trial, children will take part in two mornings of fun sport-based games on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, June 11.
On one sports day, children will wear real-time CGM and the study team will give advice about carb intake based on the CGM levels. On the other sports day, children will wear CGM but the levels will not be visible and guidance will be given about carb intake based on normal clinic advice.
Two days before the sports day we will ask you to attend PMH to have the sensor inserted.
