Comparing aerobic and resistance exercise in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of aerobic versus resistance exercise on blood glucose levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes. Participants will wear continuous glucose monitors and undergo three testing sessions: a control session with no exercise, a moderate aerobic exercise session, and a moderate weight-lifting session. Blood samples will be collected during and after exercise to assess glucose trends, and various pre-test measures will be taken to evaluate participants' health and fitness levels. The study aims to determine which type of exercise is more beneficial for managing blood glucose levels in this population.
