Hot workout: new study reveals how heat changes blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT07341243
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how exercising in hot conditions (40°C) changes blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes compared to a normal temperature (20°C). 38 adults who have had type 1 diabetes for over a year and exercise regularly will do 40 minutes of moderate exercise in both conditions. The goal is to understand how heat affects glucose use during and after exercise, which could help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar better.
