Type 1 Diabetics and Intensive Exercise

I always like studies directed especially towards Type 1 diabetics. I know the majority of people are Type 2 diabetics and so many studies need to be directed towards them. But, as someone that is a Type 1, it’s nice to see some research directed our way.

So anyways, here’s an interesting study that came out regarding Type 1 diabetics and exercise. According BD Diabetes, “Intense exercise training can help normalize muscle metabolism in people with type 1 diabetes, which could result in “clinically important health benefits,” Australian researchers report.”

What does that mean for us? That intensive exercise spurts might actually be able to help with weight loss. Of course, this is one study. More study needs to be done on the subject, but to me this is very exciting research. I know a lot of Type 1 diabetics who have struggled with weight, and this could be one reason why.
