Continuous Glucose Monitoring of Non-Diabetic Professional Cyclists during a Training Camp

Cyclists undergo demanding efforts both in training and competition that may perturb the glucose metabolism. Recent advances in wearable technology have produced a variety of devices which can be used to monitor biometric parameters in athletes like interstitial glucose. The aim of this study was to describe daily glucose fluctuations using a continuous glucose monitoring device in non-diabetic professional cyclists during a training camp. Values showed stability of interstitial glucose concentration and a relatively low occurrence of overnight hypoglycemia. These results suggest that the athletes maintained adequate glucose levels and control across the training camp.
