Key result
Regular physical activity, particularly structured high-intensity exercise programs lasting over 24 weeks, improves glycemic control by lowering HbA1c, insulin needs, and BMI in patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
Why the study?
Maintaining stable glucose levels in T1DM is difficult due to the risks of postprandial hypoglycemia and complications from hyperglycemia.
Do physical activity, carbohydrate management, and artificial intelligence support improve glycemic control in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?
Systematic Review
Do physical activity, carbohydrate management, and artificial intelligence support improve glycemic control in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?
Regular physical activity, combined with tailored carbohydrate intake and AI-supported continuous glucose monitoring, is crucial for optimizing glycemic control and minimizing hypoglycemia risk in patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
May guide personalized PA and carb strategies in T1DM; leaves open AI integration for routine glucose management.
Purpose: Managing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) involves balancing mental health, diet, and physical activity (PA). For T1DM patients, maintaining stable glucose levels is difficult due to the risk of both low blood sugar after meals (postprandial hypoglycemia) and complications from high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). This study explores how PA influences glucose regulation and examines carbohydrate intake strategies, control methods, and the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) in diabetes management. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review of studies on exercise, diet, and glycemic control in T1DM patients was conducted. Data from meta-analyses, randomized trials, and observational studies were sourced from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. Findings: Regular PA improves glycemic control, lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin needs, and body mass index (BMI). Structured high-intensity exercise programs lasting over 24 weeks are particularly effective for glycemic control. However, fear of hypoglycemia and work schedules can be barriers. Aerobic exercise reduces visceral fat, while anaerobic exercise enhances glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.

Dziekoński et al. (2025) conducted a systematic review in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Physical activity and carbohydrate management was evaluated. Regular physical activity, particularly structured high-intensity exercise programs lasting over 24 weeks, improves glycemic control by lowering HbA1c, insulin needs, and BMI in patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
