Acute Glycemic Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise in Post-menopausal Women With Type 1 Diabetes

Sponsor

University of Alberta

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Nov 16, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Type 1 Diabetes Post-menopause

Summary

Participants will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least three days on three separate occasions. One testing session will be a no-exercise resting control session (90 minutes). One will be a moderate aerobic exercise session (30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery), and the third will be a moderate weight-lifting session (\~30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery).The investigators will measure changes in blood glucose during exercise by drawing blood during and after exercise. Post-exercise glucose trends will be examined using continuous glucose monitoring.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study compares the effects of aerobic exercise (like cycling) versus resistance exercise (like weightlifting) on blood sugar control in postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to identify which type of exercise is safer and more effective for managing blood sugar in this population. **You may be eligible if...** - You have type 1 diabetes diagnosed at least 1 year ago - You are postmenopausal (at least 1 year since your last period) or have had a hysterectomy with removal of both ovaries - You are physically able to perform both aerobic and resistance exercise - You can travel to the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your HbA1c is above 9.9% - You have frequent, unpredictable low blood sugar episodes - You have high blood pressure, heart disease, or severe nerve damage - Your BMI is above 30 kg/m² - You smoke or drink more than 2 alcoholic drinks per day Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
