Continuous glucose monitoring
Participants wore CGMS for 3 days during the removal of exercise and 3 days while performing habitual exercise. Briefly, the glucose sensor (Enlite™ glucose sensor, Medtronic Inc) was inserted subcutaneously into the abdomen approximately 3 inches to the right or left of the umbilicus on the day prior to the 3‐day monitoring period. A glucose monitor (iPro®2, Medtronic Plc.) was then connected to the sensor to store the glucose data. The iPro®2 CGMS collects interstitial glucose measurements every 5 min. Data were uploaded from the monitor to the Carelink website (Postprandial interstial glucose (PPIG) (a), delta PPIG (b), and PPIG area under the curve (AUC) (c) in young and older adults 2 h following a meal during 3 days of habitual exercise (EX) and 3 days of removal of exercise (NOEX). Data are represented as mean ± SD.Three‐day average continuous glucose monitor dataAbbreviations: SD, standard deviation of glucose values; PPG, post prandial glucose.
