So what do Specialist in Diabetes know about exercise and diabetes?
Exercise and blood sugar HCP knowledge on what to do with high BG (>13), and slightly low 3.6 was good but • 75% HCP did not know what to do with patients who had has severe hypo night before • 50% HCP did not know what to do with BG of 5.5 • 75% did not know what to do with blood sugar of 1.8 Doctors no better than nurses or dietitians.
Exercise and insulin Fast acting insulin • 1/3 of HCP not clear as what should be done with fast acting insulin if exercising 2 hours after a meal • 55% HCP not sure what should be done with fast acting insulin if exercise before breakfast Long acting insulin • 50-80% HCP (dependent on time of day) not knowing what to do with background when exercising Doctors significantly worse than nurses or dietitians.
Exercise and injection sites Where to inject • 1/3 of HCP did not know the injection sites that should be avoided when cycling or lifting weights. Doctors no better than nurses or dietitians.
What you need to know • Type of exercise
Aerobic exercise Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process.
Aerobic • Hiking • Golf • Road cycling • Cycle tour • Mountain biking • Distance running • Distance swimming • Triathlon, etc
Anaerobic exercise Anaerobic exercise is exercise intense enough to trigger use of non oxygen using metabolism. It normally last less than 2 minutes
Anaerobic exercises • Weight lifting • Body Building • Dressage • Fencing • Track and field events (Javelin, Shot put, Long jump, Pole-vault, High jump, Sprinting) • Archery • Wrestling
Hormonal response to exercise - 1 GH Cortisol Glucagon Testosterone Noradrenaline Adrenaline Hormone concentration 40 80 120 160 Exercise Recovery
Hormonal response to exercise - 2 Rest Resistance Sprint Endurance Kate L. Gilbert et al 2008
Hormonal response to exercise - 3 Aerobic Anaerobic
Summary 1 • With Aerobic exercises blood sugars will tend to fall. • With anaerobic exercise blood sugars will tend to rise
What you need to know • Type of exercise • Intensity of the exercise
Hormonal response to exercise - 4 • Dependent • Exercise intensity • Type of exercise • Competition • Body temperature • Age • ? Blood glucose • Independent • Circadian rhythm • Meal time • Menstrual cycle • Sex Exercise intensity Hormone concentration 0 20 40 60 80 100 V02 max
Insulin in response to different exercises Sprint Weight training Endurance
Summary 2 As the intensity of exercise rises • Glucose becomes the major fuel • Lactate levels rise • Insulin levels rise to compensate for this
Cardiovascular response to exercise 200 180 Systolic BP 160 140 120 160 140 120 Heart rate 100 80 60 Rest Exercise Recovery
Borg Scale 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 >16 Very Light Light Moderate Heavy <90bpm ~100-110bpm ~120-130bpm 146-160bpm Under 6 = Rest Over 16 = Very Heavy
Summary 3 • Exercise induced HR rise is Less in patients with Type 1 Diabetes • Thus using Predicted HR for training is not very useful in patients with Type 1 Diabetes • One helpful scale that can be used is the borg scale
What you need to know • Type of exercise • Intensity of the exercise • The length of the exercise
Prepares body Insulin resistance Activation of CNS Insulin levels fall Increased lipolysis Increased glucose Output Glucagon levels Rise Adrenaline levels Rise Normal response to exercise GH and Cortisol rise Pre Exercise
Adrenaline Noradrenaline Glucagon Insulin T4 T3 Cortisol Glucagon Pyruvate Co2 Cortisol Adrenaline Noradrenaline GH Hormones during exercise. Liver Muscle Glycogen Glucose Glucose Glucose FFA’s Glycerol TG Amino acids
Summary 4 Fuel for exercise comes from three sources • Muscle (few minutes) • Liver (40 minutes) • Fat breakdown And is under the control of hormones
Prepares body Insulin resistance Activation of CNS Insulin levels fall Reduced lipolysis and decreased glucose output Glucagon levels Rise Adrenaline levels Rise Response to exercise in diabetics GH and Cortisol rise Pre Exercise
Adenaline Noradrenaline Glucagon Insulin T4 T3 Cortisol Glucagon Pyruvate Co2 Cortisol Adrenaline Noradrenaline GH Hormones during exercise in diabetes. Liver Muscle Glycogen Glucose Glucose Glucose FFA’s Glycerol TG Amino acids
Summary 5 • In patients with T1DM less fuel comes from the liver and fat, with the fat more effected than the liver. • So glucose may be needed for short bouts of exercise and definitely will be needed for longer durations of exercise
What you need to know • Type of exercise • Intensity of the exercise • The length of the exercise • When they are exercising in relation to their fast acting insulin
Insulin Sensitivity: 1922 Lawrence 14 12 10 8 Plasma glucose mmol.l-1 6 4 No Insulin 2 Insulin 0 30 60 120 240 Time mins
Actrapid or Humulin S Novorapid or Humalog Different insulin regimes Hypo risk Hypo 0 2 h 4 h 6h
Summary 6 • Glucose falls quicker during exercise when insulin is around. • Adjustments in insulin or glucose intake will thus need to be made if exercising within 2-4 hours of taking insulin
What you need to know • Type of exercise • Intensity of the exercise • The length of the exercise • When they are exercising in relation to their fast acting insulin • What time of day they are exercising
Summary 7 Insulin sensitivity increases • During exercise • For an hour after exercise • At 6-8 hours post exercise Glucose thus needs to be watched at 2 time points
