Study of How Exercise Timing and Type Affect Blood Sugar in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how the timing of exercise and the type of exercise affect blood sugar control in adolescents aged 10 to 16 who have type 1 diabetes. This study evaluates the impact of exercising in the morning versus the afternoon and compares continuous moderate exercise with intense intermittent exercise. The goal is to better understand how these factors influence blood glucose levels during and after physical activity. Participants will perform four types of exercise tests using a cycloergometer continuous moderate exercise in the morning, continuous moderate exercise in the afternoon, intermittent intense exercise in the morning, and intermittent intense exercise in the afternoon. The study is randomized and controlled, with no masking. Each participant will experience these different exercise conditions to allow comparison of glycemic responses. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor blood glucose changes during and after each exercise session. They will compare glycemic variations between the four exercise conditions over a period extending to September 2026. Participants must comply with study procedures and attend all sessions, providing consent along with their legal guardians. The study includes assessments to ensure safety and proper adherence, aiming to gather detailed information on how exercise timing and type affect glycemic regulation in young people with type 1 diabetes.
