Could an antidepressant help diabetics exercise safely?

NCT ID NCT01672255

Summary

This early research study explored whether the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) could improve the body's automatic nervous system responses during exercise in people with Type 1 diabetes. The goal was to see if the medication could help prevent dangerous drops in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) that often occur during physical activity. The study involved 64 participants, including both healthy individuals and those with Type 1 diabetes, to compare their responses.
