Abstract
Large-scale sporting events may require specialized diabetes management strategies to account for unique challenges, including potential technological disruptions. Potential signal interference in diabetes management devices, although temporary, can impact clinical decision-making and increase diabetes burden during endurance events, such as marathons. Modern advanced insulin delivery technologies offer alternatives that allow for the safe completion of races even when intermittent glucose readings occur. Health-care teams should educate people with diabetes about potential device interferences and train them in appropriate management strategies, especially when exercise is involved.
