About this study

Official title: Metabolic Effects of Exercise in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

Regular physical activity is an important part of diabetes management in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Increased physical activity has several beneficial effects such as improved lipid profile, insulin sensitivity and quality of life. In addition, a reduced HbA1c is often seen in association to increased physical activity. However, the effect on glycemic control and the acute glycemic response seems to differs between different types of exercise. This issue is poorly studied in adolescents with T1D and the mechanism behind this is not fully understood.

The primary aim of this study was to compare the acute effects on glycemia of resistance and two aerobic continuous and intermittent exercise bouts in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Secondarily, the investigators want to compare the different exercise according to hormonal changes and expression of mRNA in muscle.

At a baseline visit the participants was tested for maximal oxygen consumption (pVO2peak) and maximal strength (1-RM). The study participants then performed three exercise bouts and one control session (resting), each on 45 minutes, in a randomized order. Measurement was performed during and after the exercise.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exercise boutsOther

    Each subject performed three bouts with 45 minutes of exercise (continuous exercise, intermittent exercise and resistance exercise) in a randomized order. In addition a control session were performed where the subjects sat on a chair for 45 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in plasma glucose during exercise and recovery

    Plasma glucose (mmol/l) measured by an hand-held glucometer

    Measured: Plasma glucose were measured at 5 minutes before and at start of the bouts. Thereafter glucose was measured at 5,10,15,30 and 45 minutes during exercise. In addition glucose were measured at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes during the initial recovery period.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Sensor glucose

    Blinded continuous glucose measurement (mmol/l) were used to measure sensor glucose

    Measured: Blinded continuous glucose measurement was started when the exercise bouts were finished and were there after used during the next 22 hours (until the next morning at 08:00 am).

  2. Changes in levels of hormones during exercise and recovery

    Insulin, glucagon, catecholamines, insulin-like growth factor I, cortisol, growth hormone

    Measured: Serum samples were collected at baseline and after 15 ,30 ,45 of exercise and after 15 minutes of recovery for later analysis

  3. Change in levels of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) between baseline and exercise.

    mRNA levels were analyzed with microarray from muscle biopsies and compared between exercise bouts and baseline.

    Measured: One biopsy (baseline) were collected approximately one week before the first exercise bout and thereafter one biopsy appr. 60 minutes after each exercise bout.

  4. Comparisons of levels of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) between different exercise bouts.

    mRNA levels were analyzed with microarray from muscle biopsies and compared between the exercise bouts.

    Measured: One biopsy was collected appr. 60 minutes after each exercise bout.

  5. Change in heart rate during exercise.

    Heart rate (beats per minute) were monitored by pulse oximetry and compared between the exercise bouts.

    Measured: Heart rate was monitored continuously during exercise from 5 minutes before start of exercise until the bout was finished (time-point 45 minutes).

  6. Change in hemoglobin saturation during exercise.

    Hemoglobin saturation (SpO2 %) was monitored by pulse oximetry and compared between the exercise bouts.

    Measured: Hemoglobin saturation was measured continuously during exercise from 5 minutes before start of exercise until the bout was finished (time-point 45 minutes).

  7. Change in cardiac output.

    Cardiac output (L/min) was measured with Physioflow and compared between the exercise bouts.

    Measured: Cardiac output was measured continuously during exercise from 5 minutes before start of exercise until the bout was finished (time-point 45 minutes).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise bouts in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Region Örebro County.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in plasma glucose during exercise and recovery (time frame: Plasma glucose were measured at 5 minutes before and at start of the bouts. Thereafter glucose was measured at 5,10,15,30 and 45 minutes during exercise. In addition glucose were measured at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes during the initial recovery period.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
