How does exercise impact glucose levels in men and women with type 1 diabetes? The T1DEXI study, co-authored by GCDTR's Jaeb Center for Health Research examined sex differences in glucose levels during and after exercise, revealing: - Higher pre-exercise glucose levels in women compared to men. - Smaller glucose declines during personal exercise for women. - No significant differences in food, exercise, or insulin habits between sexes.
These findings highlight the need to tailor exercise management strategies for people with type 1 diabetes.
