Exercise, Hypogycemia and Type 1 Diabetes

Filed in archive Exercise , Research by Gloria Gamat on November 26, 2008

Diabetics are always told to exercise. But those with type 1 diabetes, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is one risk they have to take when exercising. Exercise-induced hypoglycemia comes with risks including loss of consciousness.

Thus hypoglycemia is one barrier that keeps people with type 1 diabetes from exercising. Such is the findings of a new study.

According to Dr. Rémi Rabasa-Lhoret, co-author of the study, a professor at the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine and an endocrinologist at the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM):

"Our findings confirmed our clinical suspicion. Exercise has been proven to improve health and one would assume diabetics would remain active. Yet our findings indicate that type 1 diabetics, much like the general public, are not completely comfortable with exercise."


This is probably the one case wherein exercise comes in health risks.
