Diabetes study reveals hidden impact on exercise performance
NCT ID NCT02051504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how type 1 diabetes and long-term blood sugar control (HbA1c) affect the body's ability to deliver and use oxygen during exercise. Researchers compared 79 people with and without diabetes to understand why fitness levels may be lower in those with high blood sugar. The goal was to learn more about how diabetes impacts muscle oxygen use, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
The two groups of patients with Type 1 diabetes are recruited from primary care clinics (university hospital of Lille and hospital of Roubaix, France) among patients with Type 1 diabetes for more than 1 year and free from micro and macrovascular complications. Healthy participants are selected from a list (n=250) drawn up from patients' friends and contacts. Each healthy control is chosen to strictly match a patient with type 1 diabetes according to gender, age, physical activity levels, and tobacco status.
