简要总结
Whereas physical activity clearly results in improvements in glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) the impact of exercise on blood sugar control is more complex. In type 1 diabetes T1DM the inability to reduce exogenous insulin levels during exercise is a key factor that contributes to an increased risk of exercise-induced hypoglycemia. Since rapid adaptation of insulin dosage may be especially difficult in patients on a multiple daily injection regimen, alternative strategies are required to improve exercise-associated glucose stability. There is increasing evidence that the combination of steady state continuous low to moderate intensity exercise with short bursts of high intensity exertion (eg in the form of sprints) is an effective, well tolerated, novel strategy to prevent exercise-related hypoglycemia. A further promising option to stabilize blood sugar levels during and after exercise may be the ingestion of fructose in addition to glucose in form of a sport drink.
详细描述
Background
Regular physical activity enhances insulin sensitivity in both healthy subjects and patients with diabetes mellitus. However, while the effects of physical activity on glucose control are undoubtedly beneficial in patients with type 2 diabetes, exercise can cause major disturbances in blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetic individuals. Hypoglycemia is a common complication in patients with T1DM engaging in endurance activities such as running and cycling. So far there are limited strategies suggested to improve exercise-related blood sugar self-management. Current recommendations focus on variation in timing and dosage of insulin administration and adjustments in carbohydrate intake. Since rapid adaptation of insulin dosage may be difficult, alternative strategies to improve exercise-related glucose stability are required. Increasing evidence suggests that intermittent high intensity exercise (IHE), by triggering a counterregulatory hormone response, may counter-balance the risk of exercise-associated hypoglycemia. However, previous studies investigating IHE in T1DM were limited by heterogeneous study populations, comparably short exercise protocols, and deficits in standardization procedures. In addition, a comprehensive assessment of the underlying fuel metabolism has not been performed so far. As a consequence, the results remain controversial and their interpretation as well as applicability are restricted.
A further alternative strategy to maintain stable glycemia during exercise may be deduced from recent studies in non-diabetic individuals suggesting that the combined ingestion of fructose and glucose during exercise provides the liver with an increased amount of gluconeogenic precursors, thereby reducing consumption of endogenous glycogen stores.Moreover, conversion of fructose into glucose and lactate may provide constant and efficient fuel for working muscles. However, studies assessing the impact of fructose ingestion during exercise in patients with T1DM have not been performed so far.
Objective
The investigators aim to assess the impact of two novel non-pharmaceutical and easily feasible approaches on exercise-related blood glucose stability and its underlying exercise-related fuel metabolism in patients with T1DM.
