Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To examine the acute and 24-h glycemic responses to reductions in postexercise rapid-acting insulin dose in type 1 diabetic patients.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:
After preliminary testing, 11 male patients (24 6 2 years, HbA1c 7.7 6 0.3%; 61 6 3.4 mmol/mol) attended the laboratory on three mornings. Patients consumed a standardized breakfast (1 g carbohydrate z kg21 BM; 380 6 10 kcal) and self-administered a 25% rapid-acting insulin dose 60 min prior to performing 45 min of treadmill running at 72.5 6 0.9% VO2peak. At 60 min postexercise, patients ingested a meal (1 g carbohydrate z kg21 BM; 660 6 21 kcal) and administered a Full, 75%, or 50% rapidacting insulin dose. Blood glucose concentrations were measured for 3 h postmeal. Interstitial glucose was recorded for 20 h after leaving the laboratory using a continuous glucose monitoring system.
RESULTS:
All glycemic responses were similar across conditions up to 60 min postexercise. After the postexercise meal, blood glucose was preserved under 50%, but declined under Full and 75%. Thence at 3 h, blood glucose was highest under 50% (50% [10.4 6 1.2] vs. Full [6.2 6 0.7] and 75% [7.6 6 1.2 mmol z L21 ], P = 0.029); throughout this period, all patients were protected against hypoglycemia under 50% (blood glucose #3.9; Full, n = 5; 75%, n = 2; 50%, n = 0). Fifty percent continued to protect patients against hypoglycemia for a further 4 h under freeliving conditions. However, late-evening and nocturnal glycemia were similar; as a consequence, late-onset hypoglycemia was experienced under all conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: A 25% pre-exercise and 50% postexercise rapid-acting insulin dose preserves glycemia and protects patients against early-onset hypoglycemia (#8 h). However, this strategy does not protect against late-onset postexercise hypoglycemia.
