EXTOD Sports Coach & PE Teacher Online Training was delivered by EXTOD and organised by SBK Events. This unique online forum was created to equip Sports Coaches and PE Teachers with the knowledge, inspiration, and practical understanding of how to support your Type 1 diabetes students to undertake safe and effective exercise.
Evidence-based presentations, practical learning and useful resources
If you are taking a child with diabetes for PE or if you are coaching them in sports then it is recommended that you know how to treat their diabetes before, during and after the activity. This half day course armed attendees with the tools and techniques required to help manage glucose around exercise. Key learning outcomes included:
- Hormone and metabolic responses to exercise in health and disease explained
- Keeping safe with exercise: focusing on finger and continuous glucose monitors
- Practical group learning: how to use glucose monitors, hypostop and glycogen
- Interactive discussion: identifying useful resources to improve your confidence
- Techniques used to control glucose around exercise
Building understanding of diabetes and exercise
In this engaging online environment, participants were able to pose questions to the experts, engage in useful discussions and engage in practical group learning. In just one morning, those who joined us:
- Received invaluable guidance on different types and intensity of exercise, diet and insulin levels
- Developed understanding of continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and closed loop systems
- Networked with fellow PE teachers and coaches to share your challenges and solutions
- Left the session confident in their ability to support Type 1 students to safely undertake exercise
