Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pattern of change in blood glucose concentrations and hypoglycemia risk in response to prolonged aerobic exercise in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) that had a wide range in pre-exercise blood glucose concentrations. METHODS: Individual blood glucose responses to prolonged (~60 minutes) moderate-intensity exercise were profiled in 120 youth with T1D. RESULTS: The mean pre-exercise blood glucose concentration was 178 ± 66 mg/dL, ranging from 69 to 396 mg/dL, while the mean change in glucose during exercise was -76 ± 55 mg/dL (mean ± SD), ranging from +83 to -257 mg/dL. Only 4 of 120 youth (3%) had stable glucose levels during exercise (ie, ± ≤10 mg/dL), while 4 (3%) had a rise in glucose >10 mg/dL, and the remaining (93%) had a clinically significant drop (ie, >10 mg/dL). A total of 53 youth (44%) developed hypoglycemia (≤70 mg/dL) during exercise. The change in glucose was negatively correlated with the pre-exercise glucose concentration (R2 = 0.44, P < 0.001), and tended to be greater in those on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) vs continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) (-98 ± 15 vs -65 ± 7 mg/dL, P = 0.05). No other collected variables appeared to predict the change in glucose including age, weight, height, body mass index, disease duration, daily insulin dose, HbA1c , or sex. CONCLUSION: Youth with T1D have variable glycemic responses to prolonged aerobic exercise, but this variability is partially explained by their pre-exercise blood glucose levels. When no implementation strategies are in place to limit the drop in glycemia, the incidence of exercise-associated hypoglycemia is ~44% and having a high pre-exercise blood glucose concentration is only marginally protective.
