Summary

This trial will test the effects of different types of exercise on blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for post-menopausal women with Type 1 Diabetes who can exercise and visit the lab in Edmonton. They should have stable diabetes management, no severe complications like heart disease or neuropathy, not smoke, drink heavily, or be significantly overweight.

What is being tested?

The study compares how moderate aerobic exercise (like walking), resistance training (like weight-lifting), and no exercise affect blood sugar levels in these women. Blood samples will be taken during and after sessions to monitor glucose changes.

What are the potential side effects?

While there are generally no direct side effects from participating in moderate exercise, individuals may experience low blood sugar episodes or muscle soreness. It's important to follow safety guidelines provided by the researchers.
