Influence of Menstrual Cycle Phases on the Glycemic Control of Aerobic or HIIT Exercise in Adult Women With Type 1 Diabetes
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Aerobic session: This session will consist of an aerobic training session performed on a cycle ergometer.
HIIT session: The HIIT exercise will consist of strength exercises with elastic bands.
Study summary
Continuous glucose monitors, as a technology that aims to improve glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes, must always adjust to changes in blood glucose levels in these patients, e.g. during sporting activities. In women, in particular, menstruation and its different phases can affect blood glucose levels in different ways. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is a different behaviour of blood glucose levels during aerobic or high-intensity exercise in different phases of menstruation. If so, we will try to model this behaviour and create specific guidelines in this regard in terms of physical exercise programming in women. In addition, the information derived from this study will be used to design better artificial pancreas systems that take into account the effects of the menstrual cycle in women.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Mean interstitial glucose — 24 hours pre-intervention and 24 hours post-intervention
Mean interstitial glucose (mg/dL) will be measured using the FreeStyle3 as a continuous glucose meter during 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours before and after both exercise sessions. - Glycemic variability — 24 hours pre-intervention and 24 hours post-intervention
Glycemic variability (measured using the Coefficient of Variation-CV) will be measured using the FreeStyle3 as a continuous glucose meter during 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours before and after both exercise sessions. - Time spent at each glucose range — 24 hours pre-intervention and 24 hours post-intervention
Time spent at each glucose range \[euglycemia (70-180 mg/dL) or Time in range (TIR), level 1 or mild hypoglycemia (54-70 mg/dL), level 2 or severe hypoglycemia (\<54 mg/dL), level 1 hyperglycemia (180-250 mg/dL) and level 2 hyperglycemia (\>250 mg/dL)\] will be measured using the FreeStyle3 as a continuous glucose meter during 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours before and after both exercise sessions.
