Stretching and Diabetes
The Effects of 6 Weeks of Static Stretching on Blood Glucose and Insulin Sensitivity in People with Type 1 Diabetes
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Jan 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Diabetes mellitus is a persistent disease characterized by alterations in glucose metabolism due to insufficient insulin production or decreased sensitivity to insulin. Exercise is the most effective non-pharmacological intervention to manage glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes. However, little is known regarding the potential effects of stretching. The objective of this study was to understand if six weeks of whole body static stretching could be adopted to manage glycemia and improve insulin sensitivity in a sample of active people with type 1 diabetes.
