1. Review some basic assumptions about exercising with T1DM
2. How much should those with T1DM exercise, and are those guidelines being followed?
3. How does T1DM affect physical fitness?4. How does physical activity affect HbA1c?5. How does physical activity affect cardiovascular
risk factors in T1DM?6. Why does exercise cause high and low blood
sugars?7. How can that be prevented/treated?
Exercise is good for T1DM◦ It’s fun!
◦ Improves cardiovascular health
◦ Weight control
◦ Help maintain healthy blood pressure
◦ Improves cholesterol profile
◦ Good way to handle stress
◦ It is often outside - vitamin D
“… participate daily in 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity…”
Same effect on blood sugar???
So, youth with type 1 diabetes exercise at least as much as their non-diabetic peers.
This is a huge success story in and of itself!
But… Is physical fitness affected by T1DM in children? And does T1DM affect physical fitness?
What does recent data tell us?

Is exercise associated with HbA1c in youth?
1-2 x week>2 x week
19,143 patients
2012 UK study - 60 young people with T1DM, mean age 12.5 years, mean HbA1c 8.4% and 37 controls (siblings)
•no difference in fitness at baseline•no difference in degree of physical activity
Moderate–vigorous physical activity(but not fitness) predicted1/3 of the variance in HbA1c, even when accounting for confounding variables such as insulin dose, age, weight, puberty stage…
What about the other way around…
◦ What is the effect of type 1 diabetes on fitness and exercise performance?
“Eurofit physical fitness test”◦ Nine tests- motor and cardiorespiratory fitness tests (VO2
max estimated by shuttle run test)**
◦ Performed by PE teachers
◦ Between 8am and 10am
◦ BGL had to be between 90-180 mg/dL** not validated as a measure in T1DM
106 youth with T1DM, 130 controls◦ Mean HbA1c 8.2-8.9% (depending on group)
T1DM group just as active as the controls
Decreased fitness (VO2 max) in girls and pubertal boys with T1DM c/w controls
In those without diabetes:◦ ↑age, skinfold thickness, ↓physical activity and female sex
were all associated with ↓VO2 max
In those with diabetes◦ All of the above, plus ↑HbA1c associated with ↓VO2 max
What about the other way around?
In multiple regression, VO2 max was the only predictor of ↓ HbA1c.
Adult (trained) athletes
◦ A1c <7% were as fit or fitter than those without T1DM
◦ A1c>7% less fit
High blood sugars
Decreased physical fitness
??
Or…
This is not at all clear, as most data is cross-sectional
Perhaps we should consider cardiovascular health as well as HbA1c when considering the data on physical activity and exercise?
What does that data tell us?

Adult (trained) athletes
◦ A1c <7% no cardiac dysfunction c/w controls
◦ A1c>7% decreased cardiac function
Diabetes Care, October 2012

Children with T1DM exercise as much as their non-diabetic counterparts
◦ this is a huge success story in and of itself
The data is mixed on whether children with T1DM have overall reduced fitness-and it may be time spent exercising as much as absolute fitness that matters
The higher the HbA1c, the poorer the physical fitness (does not prove causality)
We do not have good data on acute performance and glycemia
Does a fitness program improve HbA1c?
◦ The jury is out but in cross sectional studies fitness, or activity, predicts HbA1c
Children with T1DM who are less active have an adverse cardiovascular profile◦ … but those who are active may not
Training can improve fitness in T1DM and vascular health
Children with T1DM appear to be insulin resistant – this may be a critical link to pursue

Resistance versus Aerobic
High Intensity vs low intensity
Early vs Late effects
12 adults, mean HbA1c 7.1%
45 minutes of weight lifting or 45 minutes of cardio on treadmill
Diabetes Care 2013;36:537-542
Higher sugars during and
immediately after resistance
exercise
Maximal session, or Intense Intervals, induce more of:◦ Adrenaline◦ Noradrenaline◦ Growth Hormone◦ Cortisol
This has been shown to be preserved in people with T1D
Together, these hormones cause glucose to rise (or stay the same) by increasing glucose output from liver, and making the body resistant to insulin◦ The effect is short lived, though…
Diabetes Care 2013, Davey et al
So:1. Aerobic exercise at submaximal effort causes a slow and
steady drop in blood sugar2. Intense exercise such as all out efforts, or intervals, or
resistance (weights) doesn’t have the same effect, and may raise blood sugar acutely
3. But there is still a risk later on of a low blood sugar (overnight)
Frequent specific factor in etiology of severe hypoglycemia is exercise, particularly aerobic exercise◦ Bhatia, Wolfsdorf Pediatrics 1991 – exercise caused 71% of episodes◦ Davis, Jones et al, Diabetes Care 1997 – 75% of events occurred at night
and most were related to increased activitiy
Fear of hypoglycemia is significant barrier to exercise in T1DM.◦ Diab Care 2008 2109-9, Ped Diab 2007 362-8
*** The unifying management goal in T1DM is the lowest possible HbA1c for that individual patient WITHOUT excessive hypoglycemia

Midday Exercise in Adolescents – higher risk for low sugars for the next 11 hours
45 minutes cycling at 95% lactate threshold starting at noon
11pm
20 grams of glucose more was needed for the hour of exercise, and 2-3 grams more per hour up until 11 hours later
Midday bought of exercise – 45 minutes at 95% lactate threshold
Remember the duration of action of rapid acting insulin – 3 to 4 hours
Try and minimize peaking boluses during exercise◦ Peak is at 90 minutes
Eat early enough so you can bolus to help fill energy stores
Eating within 2 hours of exercise may require a bolus reduction, and/or basal reduction
Eating afterward may require a bolus reduction
Adjusting post-exercise meal bolus- how much?
Diabetes Care 2013 Campbell et al
Full bolus
50% bolus
75% bolus
“Hypo” unawareness is common in children
Antecedent exercise and antecedent hypoglycemia are known risk factors (Cryer, Diab Care 2008)
Hypoglycemia on nights following exercise:
◦ peripheral glucose utilization is increased by exercise
◦ counterregulatory hormone responses are impaired by sleep
◦ insulin concentrations are unchanged because of the treatment regimen (but could be)
Tamborlane W, JCEM 2007
1. Address the increased insulin sensitivity Reduce the insulin (easier with pumps)
2. Address the autonomic failure to counterregulate Give medications that ↑ glucose
3. Eat more food/snacks? perhaps counterproductive (weight)
increased glucose requirement occurs later in the night
not very effective in adult studies

For some, ceasing the pump during exercise may be sufficient to prevent a nocturnal event
An overnight basal rate reduction◦ physiologically logical, sensible and safe◦ Some high sugars undesirable

Different Kinds of Exercise do Different Things to Blood Sugars acutely◦ But all increase risk of lows many hours later
Consider pump suspension during exercise as one option to prevent lows (and/or basal rate reduction beforehand)◦ But beware of highs if this is done with intense or interval exercise!
Consider minimizing the amount of rapid acting insulin on board during exercise and then snack to maintain sugar level
Beware of hormonal responses (excitement/nerves) that might quickly wane (highs followed by lows)
Consider decreasing the post-meal bolus, and also night time insulin to prevent night time low blood sugars (this is what the artificial pancreas seems to do
Check blood glucose often – this is the best management strategy of all!
