Postprandial blood glucose response to exercise in type I diabetes: comparison between pump and injection therapy

Abstract

The effect of 40 min ergometer exercise on glucose homeostasis was studied 90 min after morning insulin and a breakfast meal in 11 insulin-dependent diabetic subjects treated with conventional injection therapy or with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with a portable pump. During conventional therapy plasma free insulin levels rose slowly (7 +/- 2 microU/ml) after the morning injection, allowing an excessive postprandial rise in blood glucose levels (6.4 +/- 0.4 mmol/L). Physical exercise was able to reverse this increase of blood glucose. With insulin infusion therapy, the initial rise in plasma free insulin after a preprandial bolus was 3.5-fold higher (25 +/- 4 microU/ml, P less than 0.01) and postprandial hyperglycemia was reduced by 70% as compared with conventional therapy (P less than 0.02). During exercise blood glucose fell 60% more in pump than in conventionally treated patients (P less than 0.02). However, the decline continued during the recovery period in conventionally treated but not in pump patients, resulting in a comparable total fall in blood glucose in both groups. Fluctuations in blood glucose were avoided when exercise was performed in the fasting state with basal insulin infusion. In conclusion, w...Continue Reading
