ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how the time of day affects exercise for people with type 1 diabetes. Researchers want to find out if exercising in the morning instead of the afternoon requires less carbohydrate intake to keep blood sugar levels stable. They will do this by having 12 participants with type 1 diabetes exercise at a moderate intensity for one hour in the morning and again in the afternoon. The study will monitor their blood sugar levels closely during both sessions to see how their bodies respond and how much glucose they need to maintain healthy levels.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between 18 and 65 years old, have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for over two years, and be physically active. Participants should either use multiple daily insulin injections or a continuous insulin pump. However, those with heart conditions or severe complications from diabetes will not be able to take part. If you join the study, you can expect to have your blood sugar monitored frequently during exercise and to provide some blood samples for testing. This research could help improve exercise recommendations for people with type 1 diabetes.
