Brief description Although regular exercise provides a number of health benefits for individuals with Type 1 diabetes, it increases the risk of hypoglycaemia, which if severe can result in convulsion, coma and irreversible brain damages. Recently, we have made the surprising discovery that it is possible to prevent hypoglycaemia if exercise is combined with one or several short sprints. Our goal is to identify some of the clinical factors likely to interfere with the glucoregulatory benefits of sprinting.
