Resumen

Antecedentes: Los atletas con Diabetes Tipo 1 (T1D) enfrentan desafíos en el control glucémico durante las maratones. Los avances tecnológicos han mejorado la gestión, pero entender la toma de decisiones sigue siendo difícil. Este informe de caso examina a tres atletas de alto nivel con T1D en la 43ª Maratón de Londres, proporcionando ideas para optimizar la gestión de la diabetes para profesionales de la salud y pacientes durante eventos de resistencia.
Métodos: Utilizando un enfoque autoetnográfico colaborativo, este estudio recopiló datos de entrevistas con tres atletas para entender sus estrategias de gestión de la diabetes durante la 43ª Maratón de Londres. Las estrategias incluyeron ajustes de dosis de insulina, ingesta de carbohidratos y técnicas de monitoreo. Se extrajeron datos cuantitativos de dispositivos médicos y de carrera, y se analizaron el control glucémico y el rendimiento en la maratón.
Resultados: Dos corredores masculinos y una corredora femenina que viven con T1D (duración: 40 ± 3) utilizaron Supersapiens (1/3), Freestyle Libre (3/3) y la bomba de insulina Medtronic Minimed 780G (2/3) con el Sensor Guardian 3 (1/3). A pesar de los desafíos individualizados de la diabetes, los tres atletas completaron con éxito y seguridad la maratón. Las estrategias, los datos glucémicos y los aspectos más destacados se presentan utilizando una narrativa visual, ofreciendo ideas sobre la experiencia del usuario.
Conclusión: Estas narrativas visuales centradas en el paciente integran datos intrincados para entender experiencias de casos de la vida real, comunicando efectivamente los desafíos encontrados por los atletas con T1D durante las carreras de maratón.
