According to the researchers, a certain amount of aerobic exercise each day can provide a way to manage the disease.

Exercise for type 1 diabetes is beneficial for many reasons. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, but it is manageable. The condition can occur at any age and presents itself when there are high levels of sugar glucose in the blood. Exercise reduces blood sugar levels.

The study analyzed the exercise activity of six people suffering from type 1 diabetes over a period of three months. Another group of seven people suffering from diabetes represented the control group.

Researchers found that the diabetics who engaged in aerobic exercises daily had an improved blood sugar control, used less insulin overall and even had fewer high blood sugar events than the other group who did not exercise.

Type 1 diabetes is most commonly treated by administering several doses of insulin a day, either through multiple injections or by using a small tube connected to a vein and attached to an insulin pump.

 

More advanced analysis on a greater group of people is required for the results to be confirmed.

 

The study was published online on October 11th in journal Cell Transplantation by researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Diabetes Research Institute.
