Why are there time limits for activities in Hedia Diabetes Assistant?

When adding an activity to a bolus calculation in Hedia Diabetes Assistant, you will notice that there is a set time limit for each level of intensity.

The intensities available in HDA are light, moderate or hard. Users can get an explanation of the different intensities in HDA by pressing the exclamation mark next to 'Intensity' inside the activity.

Please note that activities of "light" or "moderate" intensity are limited to a maximum of 60 minutes, while activities of "high" intensity are limited to 45 minutes.

This is due to the fact that we do not possess sufficient knowledge regarding how physical activity affects blood sugar levels after 60 minutes.

It is possible to enter more than one activity in the logbook if desired. However, this will not alter our recommendation for insulin reduction. If you are uncertain about what to do regarding activities lasting over 60 minutes, we advise you to consult with your diabetes healthcare provider.
