Key result
Simulated intermittent games activity resulted in a significantly smaller decline in blood glucose compared to continuous running exercise (-1.1 vs -5.3 mmol/L, p=0.037) in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Does intermittent running exercise reduce the risk of post-exercise hypoglycemia compared to continuous running exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes?
Absolute Event Rate: -1.1% vs -5.3%
p-value: p=0.037
Simulated games activity (intermittent running) carries a lower risk of early post-exercise hypoglycemia compared to continuous running in patients with type 1 diabetes, though the risk of late-onset hypoglycemia remains similar.
Campbell et al. (2014) conducted an RCT in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (n=9). Simulated intermittent games activity (intermittent running) vs. Continuous treadmill running was evaluated on Decline in blood glucose following exercise (p=0.037). Simulated intermittent games activity resulted in a significantly smaller decline in blood glucose compared to continuous running exercise (-1.1 vs -5.3 mmol/L, p=0.037) in patients with type 1 diabetes.
