NCT ID NCT07550608
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether cutting basal insulin by half before exercise helps keep blood sugar stable in people with type 1 diabetes. Eighteen active adults using insulin pumps completed two treadmill sessions—one with the insulin reduction and one without. Researchers measured blood sugar every 10 minutes to compare how men and women respond, aiming to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia during exercise.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
50% pre-exercise basal insulin rate reduction
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better exercise guidelines for people with type 1 diabetes, helping them avoid dangerously low blood sugar during physical activity.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is specific to insulin pump users and may not work for others.
