Objectives This project aimed to use education sessions and exercise classes to improve exercise self-efficacy in individuals with type 1 diabetes and in diabetes care providers (DCPs). Results There was an improvement in DCPs' attitudes toward exercise (p=0.004). DCPs' confidence in providing clients with advice regarding the time, type and intensity of exercise (p=0.005) and strategies for overcoming barriers to exercise (p=0.016) improved significantly. We found no significant changes in results in the questionnaires of participants with type 1 diabetes. Focus group analysis suggested that the study improved awareness of the importance of exercise as well as knowledge about the effects of exercise in type 1 diabetes by both DCPs and participants. Continuous glucose monitor use alleviated fear of hypoglycemia by participants with type 1 diabetes. Conclusions These findings suggest that a 4-week education- and exercise-focused program improves DCPs' self-efficacy in providing exercise advice to patients. People with type 1 diabetes did not experience an improvement in exercise self-efficacy; however, the study supports the use of continuous glucose monitoring and the grouping of DCPs and individuals with type 1 diabetes to facilitate experiential learning. -
