Target Audience
This activity is intended for the healthcare team caring for those living with type 1 diabetes, including diabetologists, adult and pediatric endocrinologists, primary care physicians, endocrinology advanced practice providers, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, CDEs, and other healthcare professionals.

Statement of Need
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a challenging condition to manage for a number of physiologic and behavioral reasons. Regular exercise is important to help people with T1D improve health and well-being, achieve target lipid profiles, improve body composition, and reach personal goals related to fitness and glycemic control. Integrating physical activity into daily life is challenging for anyone, but those with T1D face additional barriers related to the management of blood glucose levels before, during, and after exercise, including a fear of hypoglycemia, which prevents many from starting exercise programs. People with T1D tend to be at least as inactive as the general population, with a large percentage of individuals not maintaining a healthy body mass and not achieving the minimum recommended weekly amount of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity. The PEAK program addresses the need for education on safely and successfully planning for and managing different types of activity with T1D.
