Key result
High-intensity interval training is generally safe and effective for improving insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Why the study?
HIIT increases tissue sensitivity to insulin, but a review of published articles on its effects on insulin resistance in diabetic patients was needed.
Does high-intensity interval training improve insulin resistance in patients with diabetes mellitus?
Does high-intensity interval training improve insulin resistance in patients with diabetes mellitus?
This narrative review highlights that high-intensity interval training is a safe and effective intervention for improving insulin resistance in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
HIIT may improve insulin resistance in diabetes; leaves open confirmation in rigorous RCTs.
Background: Diabetes mellitus often develops on the background of insulin resistance. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is included in the treatment of diabetes mellitus since it increases the sensitivity of tissues to insulin. Objective: This paper aimed to review published articles on the effects of HIIT on insulin resistance in diabetic patients. Method: A narrative literature review was undertaken. This review provides evidence from human studies, which highlights the beneficial effects of HIIT in both T1DM and T2DM patients. Conclusion: HIIT is generally safe and effective for people with diabetes mellitus and warrants further exploration.
