Fig. 1. Factors that can change blood glucose levels in T1DM patients during exercising [1]
Fig. 2. Effect of different types of exercises on blood glucose stability in T1DM patients (HbA1c 7.1 ± 1.0%) [9]. Mean (± SE) plasma glucose level during exercising and over 60 minutes of recovery (n = 12). ◆ — no training (control); ◆ — resistance exercise (three sets of seven exercises, eight repetitions maximum, in 45 minutes); ▲ — aerobic exercise (running at 60% of the maximum calculated heart rate for 45 minutes); a — significant deviation from baseline for aerobic exercise; b — significant deviation from baseline for resistance exercise; c — significant difference between control and aerobic session; d — significant changes during recovery from aerobic exercise; the differences were considered significant only if they remained significant after Bonferroni adjustments
Table. Pre-meal insulin bolus injection reduction recommendations, applicable if training session starts within 90 minutes after bolus administration*
