Does careful glycemic control improve aerobic capacity in subjects with type 1 diabetes?
This review suggests that careful glycemic control may independently improve aerobic capacity and physiological responses to exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Existing evidence shows that some, but not all, individuals with type 1 diabetes are capable of the same aerobic capacity as matched nondiabetic subjects. Poor glycemic control impairs pulmonary, cardiac, and vascular responses to exercise. This review examines how careful glycemic control affects these responses and may independently improve aerobic capacity.
