Breakfast timing showdown: fasted vs fed exercise in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06748963
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether exercising before breakfast (fasted) or after breakfast (fed) is better for people with type 1 diabetes. Over 12 weeks, 20 participants will do combined resistance and aerobic training three times a week. Researchers will track insulin doses and blood sugar levels to see which timing works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise (fasted vs fed state)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help people with type 1 diabetes know the best time to exercise for better blood sugar control and lower insulin needs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise timing may not make a big difference, and risks like low blood sugar during fasted exercise exist.
