- Original description
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.Read full original descriptionShow less
Acute Glycemic Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise in Post-menopausal Women With Type 1 Diabetes
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.
Inclusion: type 1 diabetes, diagnosed for at least one year; post-menopause (at least one year since last menstrual period), or have had a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo oophorectomy; able to perform aerobic and resistance exercise; able to visit the lab in Edmonton, Alberta (University of Alberta).
Exclusion: history of cardiovascular disease; HbA1c > 9.9 %; use of medications (other than insulin) that affect glucose metabolism; frequent and unpredictable hypoglycemia; change in insulin management strategy within the last 2 months; blood pressure > 140 / 95; severe peripheral neuropathy; musculoskeletal injuries interfering with exercise performance; BMI > 30 kg/m2; smoking; moderate to high alcohol intake (> 2 drinks/day).
