    Maintaining glucose levels in the target range during aerobic training and athletic competition is especially difficult. The use of Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) technology is increasing, but exercise continues to be a challenge for persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this case report series, we present 3 cases (C1, C2 and C3) of persons with T1D who used the MiniMed 780G during marathon races. We describe the strategies they used before, during and after the race to manage their glycaemia as well as the results of these strategies on their glycaemic control during the race.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>The Medtronic CareLink platform was employed to remotely access insulin pump settings and glycaemic outcomes.

The breakfast insulin reduction percentages were −25%, 0%, and 0% for C1, C2, and C3, respectively. In all three cases, insulin dose reduction was applied to the pre‐race snack at percentages of −50%, −100% and −83%. The consumption of carbohydrates during the race was 0.39 g/kg/hour, 0.42 g/kg/hour, and 0.5 g/kg/hour, respectively. The total amount of carbohydrates consumed was 101 g, 120 g, and 115 g, respectively. Throughout the race, a temporary target was used for all cases.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>These cases provide insights for healthcare professionals who assist athletes with T1D using AID systems during prolonged physical activities.

    Barriers and Facilitators in Access to Diabetes, Hypertension, and Dyslipidemia Medicines: A Scoping Review
    <jats:p><jats:bold>Objective:</jats:bold> Identify barriers and facilitators in access to medicines for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, considering patient, health provider, and health system perspectives.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:</jats:bold> Scoping review based on Joanna Briggs methodology. The search considered PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Academic Search Ultimate, Web of Science, SciELO Citation Index, and grey literature. Two researchers conducted screening and eligibility phases. Data were thematically analyzed.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:</jats:bold> The review included 219 documents. Diabetes was the most studied condition; most of the evidence comes from patients and the United States. Affordability and availability of medicines were the most reported dimension and specific barrier respectively, both cross-cutting concerns. Among high- and middle-income countries, identified barriers were cost of medicines, accompaniment by professionals, long distances to facilities, and cultural aspects; cost of transportation emerges in low-income settings. Facilitators reported were financial accessibility, trained health workers, medicines closer to communities, and patients’ education.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:</jats:bold> Barriers and facilitators are determined by socioeconomic and cultural conditions, highlighting the role of health systems in regulatory and policy context (assuring financial coverage and free medicines); providers’ role bringing medicines closer; and patients’ health education and disease management.</jats:p>
