EXTOD Healthcare Professionals National Conference was delivered by EXTOD and organised by SBK Events.
This unique forum was created to equip Diabetologists, Diabetes Specialist Nurses, Dietitians and Paediatricians with the knowledge, inspiration, and practical understanding of how to support Type 1 patients to undertake safe and effective exercise.
Evidence-based presentations, case study led workshops and invaluable lived experience
Those who attended these EXTOD days were provided with current, evidence-based knowledge on managing Type 1 diabetes for exercise. Attendees were also be able to speak with experts in the field and leave with practical advice and clear strategies to use with patients with T1D in a clinical setting.
A unique opportunity for sharing ideas, networking and peer learning
Now in its 8th year, this EXTOD National conference offered two full days of valuable learning so that enrollees could understand, manage and support people with Type 1 diabetes to undertake safe and effective exercise.

- Experience of semi elite and elite sports people
- Exercise setting for each pump / closed loop system and how to use these settings for exercise
- New trials in Type 1 diabetes and exercise
- Latest update on technology and exercise
- Sports focus: specific insights into diabetes and exercise management
Plus there were interactive workshops in small groups on:
- Assessment for exercise, staying safe, glucose targets and insulin changes
- Dietary assessment and carbohydrate loading
- Food and fluid intake, GCM replacement regime and controlling glucose through exercise
- Managing race /event day: what to do prior, on the day and postrace management
- Advance technology: adapting simple strategies and trouble shooting insulin
- Managing PE classes and short events: diet, insulin and glucose monitoring
- Special circumstances: low carb diets, hot and cold weather adaptations
- Dealing with multisports and how to plan changes
