Effects of three aerobic exercise protocols on acute glucose response and continuous glucose monitoring trends in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to assess the acute and chronic effects of three aerobic exercise protocols, namely, Moderate-Intensity Interval Training (MIIT), Low-to-Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (LMICT), and Reduced-Exertion High-Intensity Training (REHIT), on glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and stroke.

Methods

Forty-nine patients diagnosed with both T2DM and stroke were randomly assigned to LMICT, MIIT, REHIT, or the control group. The intervention comprised two phases: from day 3 to day 14 and from day 15 to day 28, with days 1 and 2 designated as a baseline control period. Throughout the intervention, blood glucose levels were continuously monitored and recorded using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system.
