Adherence

For individuals with Type 1 Diabetes, stopping work and staying at home during lockdown significantly improves short-term glycemic control (lower average glucose, increased time in range) compared to continuing work, likely due to reduced workplace stress and more regular routines.

If you have Type 1 Diabetes and your routine is disrupted (e.g., working from home, lockdown), focus on stabilizing your daily routine rather than stressing about exercise. The study suggests that reducing workplace stress and maintaining regular meal/insulin timing can significantly improve glucose control, even if you are less active. Monitor your time in range, as it increased significantly in those who slowed down.
