The Importance of Meal Composition on Preventing Exercise-induced Hypoglycemia in People With Type 1 Diabetes.

This study is a clinical, randomized, crossover study. The study investigates the effect of a low-carbohydrate-high-protein pre-exercise meal on preventing exercise-induced hypoglycemia in people with type 1 diabetes. The hypothesis is that intake of a low-carbohydrate-high-protein meal can reduce the duration and depth of hypoglycemia during and after exercise in people with type 1 diabetes compared with an isocaloric high-carbohydrate-low-protein meal with identical fat content. The study will contribute with new knowledge about importance of meal composition on preventing exercise-induced hypoglycemia.
