Association between haemoglobin A_1c and whole-body heat loss during exercise-heat stress in physically active men with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

New findings

What is the central question of this study? Is the impairment in heat dissipation during exercise observed in men with type 2 diabetes related to glycaemic control (indexed by glycated haemoglobin; haemoglobin A_1c )? What is the main finding and its importance? No association was found between haemoglobin A_1c (range: 5.1-9.1%) and whole-body heat loss in men with type 2 diabetes during exercise in the heat. However, individuals with elevated haemoglobin A_1c exhibited higher body core temperature and heart rate responses. Thus, while haemoglobin A_1c is not associated with heat loss per se, it may still have important implications for physiological strain during exercise.
