Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how different types of exercise affect blood sugar levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes, in order to design better exercise programs for this population.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for post-menopausal women with Type 1 Diabetes living near Edmonton, Alberta. They should have been diagnosed at least a year ago and not had a menstrual period in the last 12 months. Participants must be able to do resistance exercise but can't join if they have high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease history, are on certain medications, or have conditions affecting exercise ability.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how different resistance exercises affect blood sugar levels in participants. One group will do low resistance but high repetition weight lifting (3 sets of 15-20 reps), while another does moderate resistance and repetitions (3 sets of 8-10 reps). The goal is to see which method impacts blood glucose during and after exercise.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include an increased risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) during or after exercising. This could lead to symptoms like shakiness, sweating, confusion, heart palpitations or even fainting.
