Abstract
Regular physical activity improves cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal health, helps with weight management, improves cognitive and psychosocial functioning, and is associated with reduced mortality related to cancer and diabetes mellitus. However, turnover rates of glucose in the blood increase dramatically during exercise, which often results in either hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia as well as increased glycaemic variability in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A complex neuroendocrine response to an acute exercise session helps to maintain circulating levels of glucose in a fairly tight range in healthy individuals, while several abnormal physiological processes and limitations of insulin therapy limit the capacity of people with T1DM to exercise in a normoglycaemic state. Knowledge of the acute and chronic effects of exercise and regular physical activity is critical for the formulation of clinical strategies for the management of insulin and nutrition for active patients with T1DM. Emerging diabetes-related technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, automated insulin delivery systems and the administration of solubilized glucagon, are demonstrating efficacy for preserving glucose homeostasis during and after exercise in this population of patients. This Review highlights the beneficial effects of regular exercise and details the complex endocrine and metabolic responses to different types of exercise for adults with T1DM. An overview of basic clinical strategies for the preservation of glucose homeostasis using emerging technologies is also provided.

Abstract
AIM/HYPOTHESIS It was the aim to prospectively study regimes of "preventive" carbohydrate administration to avoid major reduction in plasma glucose during physical activity. METHODS 24 patients with type 1 diabetes (age 41±12 years; 11 women, 13 men; BMI 26.5±4.7 kg/m2; HbA1c 9.1±1.5%; insulin dose 0.64±0.22 IU/kg body weight and day) participated in one experiment without physical activity and in three experiments with a 4 km, 60 min hike starting at 2 p.m.. No "preventive" carbohydrates, 2×10 g or 2×20 g carbohydrates (muesli bars) were taken when starting and after 30 min (randomized order). Plasma glucose was determined. RESULTS Within 30 min after starting physical activity, plasma glucose fell by approximately 70 mg/dl, making additional carbohydrate intake necessary in 70% of the subjects. This drop was not prevented by any regimens of "preventive" carbohydrate intake. After the nadir, plasma glucose rose faster after the 2×20 g carbohydrate regime (the largest amount tested; p=0.0036). With "preventive" administration of carbohydrates, significantly (p<0.05) less additional "therapeutic" carbohydrates needed to be administered in 6 h following the initiation of the hike. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In conclusion, in the setting of 2 h postprandial exercise in type 1 diabetes, preventive carbohydrate supplementation alone will not completely eliminate the risk of brisk falls in plasma glucose concentrations or hypoglycaemic episodes. Else, higher amounts or repeated administration of carbohydrates may be necessary.

Abstract
Exercise is a fundamental component of diabetes management. However, choosing inappropriate type or timing of exercise is associated with mild or severe hypoglycemia either during exercise or several hours after exercise. Several studies have shown that impaired counterregulatory responses triggers hypoglycemia. Therefore, in this investigation, we explored the appropriate intensity and time of exercise in patients with diabetes. The mechanisms of counterregulatory responses and hypoglycemia associated autonomic failure (HAAF), as well as the strategies for preventing episodes of hypoglycemia after exercise were also investigated. In this study, we obtained the following results: 1) High intensity interval exercise is more suitable for diabetic patients. 2) Morning exercise reduces nocturnal hypoglycemia risks compared with midday, afternoon and evening exercise. 3) Hypoglycemia can be prevented by dietary approach, reduction or suspension of insulin dose, use of mini dose glucagon, caffeine, mitigation methods, prediction algorithm, autonomic feedback controlled close-loop insulin delivery, real time continuous glucose monitoring. Based on these results we concluded that exercise may cause severe hypoglycemia or induce blunted response in patients with diabetes. For Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients, the intensity and time of exercise influence the occurrence of hypoglycemia. This review summarizes the clinical characteristics of different types of exercises and time of exercise that can be potentially used to educate and guide patients regarding the role of exercise in standard of care.

Accuracy of Wrist-Worn Activity Monitors During Common Daily Physical Activities and Types of Structured Exercise: Evaluation Study. JMIR Mhealth Uhealth 2018; 6:e10338. [PMID: 30530451 PMCID: PMC6305876 DOI: 10.2196/10338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2018] [Revised: 06/17/2018] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Wrist-worn activity monitors are often used to monitor heart rate (HR) and energy expenditure (EE) in a variety of settings including more recently in medical applications. The use of real-time physiological signals to inform medical systems including drug delivery systems and decision support systems will depend on the accuracy of the signals being measured, including accuracy of HR and EE. Prior studies assessed accuracy of wearables only during steady-state aerobic exercise. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to validate the accuracy of both HR and EE for 2 common wrist-worn devices during a variety of dynamic activities that represent various physical activities associated with daily living including structured exercise. METHODS We assessed the accuracy of both HR and EE for two common wrist-worn devices (Fitbit Charge 2 and Garmin vívosmart HR+) during dynamic activities. Over a 2-day period, 20 healthy adults (age: mean 27.5 [SD 6.0] years; body mass index: mean 22.5 [SD 2.3] kg/m2; 11 females) performed a maximal oxygen uptake test, free-weight resistance circuit, interval training session, and activities of daily living. Validity was assessed using an HR chest strap (Polar) and portable indirect calorimetry (Cosmed). Accuracy of the commercial wearables versus research-grade standards was determined using Bland-Altman analysis, correlational analysis, and error bias. RESULTS Fitbit and Garmin were reasonably accurate at measuring HR but with an overall negative bias. There was more error observed during high-intensity activities when there was a lack of repetitive wrist motion and when the exercise mode indicator was not used. The Garmin estimated HR with a mean relative error (RE, %) of -3.3% (SD 16.7), whereas Fitbit estimated HR with an RE of -4.7% (SD 19.6) across all activities. The highest error was observed during high-intensity intervals on bike (Fitbit: -11.4% [SD 35.7]; Garmin: -14.3% [SD 20.5]) and lowest error during high-intensity intervals on treadmill (Fitbit: -1.7% [SD 11.5]; Garmin: -0.5% [SD 9.4]). Fitbit and Garmin EE estimates differed significantly, with Garmin having less negative bias (Fitbit: -19.3% [SD 28.9], Garmin: -1.6% [SD 30.6], P<.001) across all activities, and with both correlating poorly with indirect calorimetry measures. CONCLUSIONS Two common wrist-worn devices (Fitbit Charge 2 and Garmin vívosmart HR+) show good HR accuracy, with a small negative bias, and reasonable EE estimates during low to moderate-intensity exercise and during a variety of common daily activities and exercise. Accuracy was compromised markedly when the activity indicator was not used on the watch or when activities involving less wrist motion such as cycle ergometry were done.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether a 10-second (s) sprint impairs the counter-regulatory response to subsequent hypoglycaemia. METHODS Nine people (five male, four female) with Type 1 diabetes, aged 21.1 ± 4.5 years, performed a 10-s rest or a 10-s maximum-effort sprint in random order on different days, while subjected to an euinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp. This was followed by a hyperinsulinaemic-hypoglycaemic glucose clamp 2.5 h later to induce hypoglycaemia for 40 min. At timed intervals, the counter-regulatory hormonal responses to hypoglycaemia were measured. Blood pressure, heart rate and hypoglycaemic symptoms were also assessed. RESULTS During the hypoglycaemic clamp, epinephrine, norepinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol levels increased significantly from baseline, and their responses were similar after both rest and sprint conditions. In particular, plasma epinephrine rose eightfold, from 197 ± 103 pmol/l to 1582 ± 1118 pmol/l after the rest condition, and from 219 ± 119 pmol/l to 1900 ± 898 pmol/l after the sprint condition. CONCLUSION A 10-s sprint is unlikely to blunt the subsequent hormonal counter-regulation to hypoglycaemia in individuals with Type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insulin adjustments have been shown to reduce glycemic excursions during and after exercise, but little is known about their use in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to assess practices in youth with T1D around exercise, assess factors that influence practices, and examine associations between key behaviors and glycemic outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We developed the 'Type 1 Diabetes Report of Exercise Practices Survey (T1D-REPS)' and piloted this tool in 100 youth with T1D on an insulin pump. Participants completed a 3-day physical activity recall and 30 days of pump/glucose data were collected. Chart review was conducted for key clinical measures. RESULTS Eighty-four percent of participants modified their insulin regimen around exercise; only 40% reported adjusting prandial insulin immediately before exercise while 68% reported some modification (suspension or decrease) of basal insulin during exercise. Following exercise, only 10% reported reducing overnight basal insulin. Those who performed ≥ 5 glucose checks/day adjusted basal insulin during exercise more frequently than those with fewer daily glucose checks (33% vs. 13%, p = 0.05, chi-squared = 3.7), and were more likely to report decreasing insulin dose for the bedtime snack following exercise (50% vs. 17%, p = 0.004, chi-squared = 8.2). CONCLUSIONS Despite several studies showing the frequency of hypoglycemia during and after exercise, many youth are not adjusting insulin for exercise. A tool designed to capture patient practices and provide clinicians with a framework for patient education may lead to improved safety around exercise in youth with T1D.

Abstract
Plethoric evidence reminds of the protective effects of exercise against a number of health risks, across all ages, in the general population. The benefits of exercise for individuals with type 2 diabetes are indisputable. An in-depth understanding of energy metabolism has reasonably entailed exercise as a cornerstone in the lifestyle of almost all subjects with type 1 diabetes. Nevertheless, individuals with type 1 diabetes often fail in accomplishing exercise guidelines and they are less active than their peer without diabetes. Two major obstacles are feared by people with type 1 diabetes who wish to exercise regularly: management of blood glucose control and hypoglycemia. Nowadays, strategies, including glucose monitoring technology and insulin pump therapy, have significantly contributed to the participation in regular physical activity, and even in competitive sports, for people with type 1 diabetes. Novel modalities of training, like different intensity, interspersed exercise, are as well promising. The beneficial potential of exercise in type 1 diabetes is multi-faceted, and it has to be fully exploited because it goes beyond the insulin-mimetic action, possibly through immunomodulation.

Abstract
Background It is well recognized that physical activity should be an integral part of the management of diabetes. It remains controversial, however, whether combat sports, often preferred by young individuals type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), may be performed without high risk of metabolic decompensation. The aim of this observational study was to summarize a two-year follow-up period of five young male patients with T1DM practicing combat sports under the care of a physical-activity oriented specialist diabetes outpatient clinic. Of the five patients, three mixed martial arts and two kick-boxing competitors were included in the study. To control glucose in each patient, an individual approach was used that took into consideration the type of training, the sequence of the exercises, and the relative proportion of different forms of exercise. Findings During the follow-up, glycemic control was improved and maintained in all individuals. Neither an episode of hospitalization-requiring diabetic ketoacidosis nor severe hypoglycemia occurred in these patients during the follow-up. Conclusions In conclusion, an individual approach for T1DM patients practicing combat sports may result in achieving and maintaining satisfactory glycemic control without increased risk of metabolic decompensation.

Abstract
IN BRIEF Fear of hypoglycemia is one of the main barriers to physical activity for individuals with type 1 diabetes. Recent studies indicate that anaerobic forms of exercise (i.e., resistance exercise/weight lifting, sprints, and high-intensity intervals) can attenuate exercise-related declines in blood glucose both during and after exercise in young, healthy adults with type 1 diabetes. These responses might vary based on age, sex, and fitness level and in the general safety of relying on them to prevent hypoglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of the glycemic index (GI) of foods consumed after evening exercise on postprandial glycemia, metabolic and inflammatory markers, and nocturnal glycemic control in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS On two evenings (∼1700 h), 10 male patients (27 ± 5 years of age, HbA1c 6.7 ± 0.7% [49.9 ± 8.1 mmol/mol]) were administered a 25% rapid-acting insulin dose with a carbohydrate bolus 60 min before 45 min of treadmill running. At 60 min postexercise, patients were administered a 50% rapid-acting insulin dose with one of two isoenergetic meals (1.0 g carbohdyrate/kg body mass [BM]) matched for macronutrient content but of either low GI (LGI) or high GI (HGI). At 180 min postmeal, the LGI group ingested an LGI snack and the HGI group an HGI snack (0.4 g carbohdyrate/kg BM) before returning home (∼2300 h). Interval samples were analyzed for blood glucose and lactate; plasma glucagon, epinephrine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); and serum insulin, cortisol, nonesterified fatty acid, and β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations. Interstitial glucose was recorded for 20 h postlaboratory attendance through continuous glucose monitoring. RESULTS Following the postexercise meal, an HGI snack induced hyperglycemia in all patients (mean ± SD glucose 13.5 ± 3.3 mmol/L) and marked increases in TNF-α and IL-6, whereas relative euglycemia was maintained with an LGI snack (7.7 ± 2.5 mmol/L, P < 0.001) without inflammatory cytokine elevation. Both meal types protected all patients from early hypoglycemia. Overnight glycemia was comparable, with a similar incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia (n = 5 for both HGI and LGI). CONCLUSIONS Consuming LGI food with a reduced rapid-acting insulin dose following evening exercise prevents postprandial hyperglycemia and inflammation and provides hypoglycemia protection for ∼8 h postexercise; however, the risk of late nocturnal hypoglycemia remains.
