Abstract

To determine the impact of physical fitness level on hypoglycaemia risk during exercise in people with Type 1 diabetes. A total of 44 patients [34 adults (aged 22-70 years) and 10 adolescents (aged 12-18 years)] with Type 1 diabetes, treated with insulin pump therapy, underwent a standardized exercise session. Cardiorespiratory fitness (maximum oxygen uptake) was measured and classified, based on established norms for age and sex, into either poor (< 25th percentile) or good fitness level (> 25th percentile). Plasma glucose levels were measured every 10 min, each patient performed physical activity at 60% maximum oxygen uptake either on a treadmill for 1 h or on a bicycle for 30 min. Frequency of hypoglycaemia (plasma glucose < 4 mmol/l) and decline in plasma glucose levels during exercise were assessed. In all, 23 patients had a good exercise fitness level. Hypoglycaemic events occurred in 17/23 patients (74.0%) in the good fitness level group compared with 8/21 patients (38.0%) in the poor fitness level group (P = 0.02). Both groups had similar pre-exercise plasma glucose levels. The plasma glucose values during exercise in the good fitness level group compared with the poor fitness level group were: plasma glucose nadir 3.9 ...Continue Reading
