Consumer Summary: KEY MESSAGES: Very few interventions targeting fear of hypoglycemia (FoH) as a barrier to physical activity (PA) have been trialled, despite its prominence as a barrier. A pilot randomized controlled trial of a self-management group education intervention designed to address FoH as a barrier to PA is acceptable to adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and feasible to deliver. Adjunct components to facilitate PA behaviour change among inactive individuals with T1D are required.
