A new study emphasizes the importance of selecting the right type of exercise to help people with Type 1 diabetes maintain both blood sugar levels and cardiovascular health, which is essential for managing the condition effectively.
The research, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, indicates that consistently participating in continuous aerobic training might be the most effective approach for enhancing blood sugar control in those with Type 1 diabetes, particularly female patients.
“This study is important because diabetic patients often lack motivation to exercise as a means of managing their condition,” noted study co-author Dr. Pooya Soltani, a senior lecturer at Staffordshire University in Stroke-on-Trent, England. “One reason for this is that physical activity can lead to blood sugar drops, causing discomfort and demotivation. We investigated whether the type of physical activity could mitigate these blood sugar drops.”
The study focused on 19 adults with Type 1 diabetes who were not in the habit of exercising regularly. Participants took part in two different 30-minute exercise sessions on separate days. One session involved continuous, steady exercise, while the other consisted of interval training with alternating high and low intensity.
Using a crossover design, each participant experienced both types of exercise – allowing for a direct comparison of individual responses to each type. The researchers measured blood sugar levels with a finger-prick test and recorded blood pressure, heart rate, perceived exertion and enjoyment at three different points during each session – before starting, right after finishing, and 20 minutes afterward. They then applied statistical methods to analyze differences in responses between men and women, different exercise types, and various time points. […]
