Exercise types for postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares aerobic exercise (like brisk walking) versus resistance exercise (like strength training) to see which works better for women with type 1 diabetes after menopause. It may help you learn which exercise approach is safest and most helpful for blood sugar and health.
