Let s Talk About Exercise Or Physical Activity What Is The Most Common Effect On Diabetes? Glucose Changes with Exercise: Depends upon Pre-exercise Glucose & Insulin 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 DM - NC DM - WC Control 0-10 30 60 90 Time [mins] 120 150 180 10

Exercise Effects on Glucose Lowering via Glucose Transporters Chronic Effects of Aerobic Exercise 13
Chronic Effects of Aerobic Exercise Studies Involving Resistance Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes 14
Resistance Training Outcomes Type 1 Diabetes: What are Short-Term Benefits of Exercise? Acute reduction in blood glucose ONLY IF pre-exercise is < 250 mg/dl ( insulinized ) Improved insulin sensitivity Reduced pre-exercise insulin dosage Use of glucose is intensity dependent Transient changes favorable changes last ~ 24-48 hours!! 15
Type 1 Diabetes: What are Long-Term Benefits of Exercise? Improved insulin sensitivity Reduced daily insulin dosage Enhanced glucose and fat metabolism Health-related changes Change in glucose control? Type 1 Diabetes: Exercise Program with NO Complications Aerobic Frequency 3-7 d/wk DAILY? Intensity 50-80% HR Reserve RPE: 4-6 (1-10 scale) Time 20-60 min Type (aerobic) Resistance Frequency > 3 d/wk Intensity moderate Repetitions 8-10 per exercise Sets > 3 sets per exercise Type major muscle groups: 8-10 exercises 16

Exercise & Diabetes: Redefining Exercise Programs Current knowledge of type 1 diabetes + exercise Challenges facing exercise program development for heterogeneous type 1 diabetes Key Points for Medical & Allied Health Practitioners TOOL BOX Pre-exercise: Ensure Client s file includes ABC s: A1C - glucose control Blood pressure Presence/status of Complications Encourage intensive management of diabetes Aid in planning for each day s activity, exercise, or recreation Educate client on: Frequent Glucose s SMBG Balanced nutrition RD? 18
Safe Exercise: Routine Blood Glucose Checks - TOOL BOX ALWAYS check pre-exercise glucose IF glucose 100-250 mg/dl okay to exercise IF glucose >250 mg/dl Use caution for exercise IF glucose < 100 mg/dl - give 15-30 g CHO Re-check glucose to ensure BG > 100 mg/dl ALWAYS check post-exercise glucose Practical Recommendations for Persons with Diabetes Mellitus - TOOL BOX Self-Blood Glucose Monitoring Before and after each exercise session. Keep a daily log: Glucose values Medication Time, effort, and distance of exercise session. Plan for exercise: When? How much activity? If needed, carry extra carbohydrate feedings Use technology Wear a pedometer Exercise with partner: until glucose response is known. Wear a diabetes I.D.; Never leave home without it. Wear good shoes: Proper-fitting and comfortable footwear can minimize foot irritations, and limit orthopedic injury to the foot and lower leg. Practice good hygiene Modify caloric intake 19
Management of Diabetes Mellitus: Therapeutic Steps in Management Medical management Use of medications to manage glucose insulin Symlin + meal Frequent monitoring of blood glucose Proper diet and exercise Common Pathways in Diabetes Complications Glucose Peripheral & Autonomic Neuropathy AGE Formation Hexosamine Pathway Cellular Dysfunction Oxidative Stress ROS ROS Cell Damage Vascular Damage Nephropathy Retinopathy Diabetes complications (eye, kidney, nerve, blood vessels) arise from a number of triggers perturbing a limited number of metabolic pathway(s) (Brownlee, 2001) 20
Diabetes Complications: Standards of Care of Practice [ADA, 2011] Cardiovascular Disease [CVD] May need evaluation Not all need stress test to participate in low level of physical activity/exercise Peripheral Arterial Disease [PAD] Poor blood supply to lower extremities Loss of pulse in foot Cold feet Leg pain linked with PAD Intermittent claudication Proportion of Patients with Cardiovascular Disease Increases with Duration of Diabetes 48% 21% 24% 29% 15% 2 3-5 6-9 10-14 15+ Years after DM Diagnosis 21
Exercising With Complications: Standards of Care of Practice [ADA, 2011] - TOOL BOX Cardiovascular Disease [CVD] IF diagnosed with CVD, THEN.client likely needs stress test No CVD: client may need stress test IF moderateto-vigorous intensity No CVD: Low-tomoderate intensity may be OK Physician judgement Peripheral Arterial Disease [PAD] Leg pain linked with PAD limits weight-bearing activity ~40% have exercise leg pain Walking - most effective for claudication Interval-like training for 3-5 mins exericse followed by brief rest to ease symptoms May require cardiac rehab for initial exercise Diabetes Complications: Standards of Care of Practice [ADA, 2011] Retinopathy Deteriorating vision Leading cause of blindness in diabetes May need dilated exam Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy [PDR] requires medical evaluation Nephropathy Kidney disease - unable to filter the blood Progressive disease More than 50% of renal dialysis patients have diabetes! 22
Exercising With Complications: Standards of Care of Practice [ADA, 2011] - TOOL BOX Retinopathy May need dilated exam Proliferative Retinopathy [PDR] - no vigorous or static exercise Ø Resistance training Lower intensity activities Cardio & resistance activities Nephropathy Exercise may urinary protein No evidence that vigorous exercise rate of progression No likely exercise restrictions specific to kidney disease! Diabetes Complications: Standards of Care of Practice [ADA, 2011], con t. Peripheral Neuropathy Affects both motor & sensory nerves Pain sensation & loss of sensation in extremities Loss of protective sensation in feet ~30% of those > 40 yrs have impaired foot sensation Risk of infection/injury Autonomic Neuropathy [AN] Affects HR rest HR rest & HR exercise Cardiac AN [CAN] alters postural BP and HR Risk of CVD in diabetes Many other organs involved 23
