Exercising in Hot Conditions: How Does it Effect Blood Glucose in People With T1D

The Effect of Acute Heat Exposure on Glucose Use During Moderate-intensity Exercise in People With Type 1 Diabetes


Sponsor

Liverpool John Moores University

Enrollment

38 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

A randomised, crossover, counterbalanced repeated measures study will be conducted to examine the effect of acute heat exposure on rate of change in blood glucose concentration during 40 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise and for 30 minutes after exercise. Participants will complete two experimental conditions during two separate laboratory visits, with the order of conditions randomised. One condition will be a temperate condition of 20°C with 50% relative humidity (Temperate), the other will be 40°C with 50% relative humidity (Heat). Visits will be identical, including time of day, except for the condition. Visits will be separated by 24h. Testing will take place in the laboratories of the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating how exercising in hot weather affects blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes — a topic that is important for diabetes management, especially during summer or in warm climates, where heat can alter insulin sensitivity and blood sugar unpredictably. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18–65 years old - You have had type 1 diabetes for more than 1 year - You use insulin (by injection, pump, or closed-loop system) - You exercise regularly (at least twice per week for 30+ minutes) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant or recently postpartum - You have cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease - You have had a severe hypoglycaemic (low blood sugar) episode requiring help from someone else in the last 3 months - You have a very high HbA1c (above 85 mmol/mol), gastrointestinal problems, or an implanted medical device - You have difficulty swallowing tablets Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
