Pre‐exercise protein intake is associated with reduced time in hypoglycaemia among adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Among adolescents with T1D, a dose of ≥10 g or ≥0.125 g/kg of protein within 4 h before MVPA may promote reduced time in hypoglycaemia during, but not following, physical activity.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents with T1D, 14.5 (13.8, 15.7) years, 36.6% overweight/obese, in a randomized trial of an adaptive behavioural intervention
- Participants
- 112 adolescents
- Comparison
- Pre-exercise protein intake vs no protein
- Primary endpoint
- CGM time below range (TBR) (<70 mg/dl) during MVPA bouts
Methodological detailsmixed effects regression models
- Mixed effects regression models
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
TBR during physical activity
- 10-19.9 g
- absolute reduction −4.41 %; P = 0.04
- >20 g
- absolute reduction −4.83 %; P = 0.02
- 0.125-0.249 g/kg
- absolute reduction −5.38 %; P = 0.01
- ≥0.25 g/kg
- absolute reduction −4.32 %; P = 0.03
Further findings
- No significant association between protein intake and measures of glycaemia following bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
