Exploring the variability in acute glycemic responses to exercise in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To explore the factors associated with exercise-induced acute capillary glucose (CapBG) changes in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods

Fifteen individuals with T2D were randomly assigned to energy-matched high intensity interval exercise (HI-IE) and moderate intensity continuous exercise (MI-CE) interventions and performed a designated exercise protocol 5 days per week for 12 weeks. The duration of exercise progressed from 30 to 60 minutes. CapBG was measured immediately before and after each exercise session. Timing of food and antihyperglycemic medication intake prior to exercise was recorded.

Results

Overall, the mean CapBG was lowered by 1.9 mmol/L (P < 0.001) with the change ranging from -8.9 to +2.7 mmol/L. Preexercise CapBG (44%; P < 0.001), med
