- Abstract
<bold>Aims: </bold>To compare the effect of a bout of high-intensity interval training (HIT) with a bout of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on glucose concentrations over the subsequent 24-hour period.<bold>Methods: </bold>Fourteen people with type 1 diabetes [T1D (duration of T1D, 8.2 ± 1.4 years)], all on a basal-bolus regimen, completed a randomized, counterbalanced, crossover study. Continuous glucose monitoring was used to assess glycemic control after a single bout of HIT (six 1-minute intervals) and 30 minutes of MICT on separate days compared with a nonexercise control day (CON). Exercise was undertaken after an overnight fast with omission of short-acting insulin. Capillary blood glucose samples were recorded before and after exercise to assess the acute changes in glycemia during HIT and MICT.<bold>Results: </bold>There was no difference in the incidence of or percentage of time spent in hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, or target glucose range over the 24-hour and nocturnal period (12:00 am to 6:00 am) between CON, HIT, and MICT (P > 0.05). Blood glucose concentrations were not significantly (P = 0.49) different from pre-exercise to post-exercise, with HIT (0.39 ± 0.42 mmol/L) or MICT (-0.39 ± 0.66 mmol/L). There was no difference between exercise modes (P = 1.00).<bold>Conclusions: </bold>HIT or 30 minutes of MICT can be carried out after an overnight fast with no increased risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. If the pre-exercise glucose concentration is 7 to 14 mmol/L, no additional carbohydrate ingestion is necessary to undertake these exercises. Because HIT is a time-efficient form of exercise, the efficacy and safety of long-term HIT should now be explored.
