Impact of timing, type, and intensity of physical activity on glycemic outcomes in a cohort of well-controlled youth with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate how the timing, type, and intensity of bout-related physical activity (PA) influence glycemic control across age groups in youths and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Materials and methods

In this cross-sectional study, 100 insulin pump-treated individuals with T1D (55 females; mean age 16.6 ± 6.6 years; HbA1c 6.8 ± 1.0%) were monitored for 7 days using self-reported training logs and continuous glucose monitoring. Participants were categorized by age (< 14, 14-17, 18-31 years) and by exercise timing (morning, afternoon, evening), type (aerobic, anaerobic, mixed), and intensity (low, medium, high). Glycemic variables included mean glucose, time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR), time in level 2 hypoglycemia, time above range (TAR), time > 250 mg
