Strength exercise study for post-menopausal type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks whether a resistance (strength) exercise program changes blood sugar levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to do supervised lab-based exercise sessions near the University of Alberta.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman and are post-menopausal (at least 12 months since your last period).
- You have type 1 diabetes and it has been diagnosed for at least 1 year.
- Your diabetes control is not too high: your HbA1c must be below 10% (average blood sugar).
- You can safely do strength exercises and are willing to attend lab sessions near the University of Alberta in Edmonton (or can travel there).
- You should not have uncontrolled low blood sugar episodes that are frequent or unpredictable, and you should not have major exercise-limiting injuries.

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.
This study looks at how doing exercise at different points in your menstrual cycle affects blood sugar control in people with type 1 diabetes. It may help you and your care team understand how to plan exercise more safely and effectively around your period.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can make your breathing muscles stronger, which might improve blood sugar control and overall health for people with type 1 diabetes. You would use the device at home and visit the study team for checkups.
This study tests whether using an automated insulin delivery system (a smart pump that adjusts insulin based on sensor readings) can help improve blood sugar control and bone health in adults with Type 1 diabetes who have high and unstable blood sugars.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program combining movement and strength training for postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see if this program can improve their physical function and overall health.
This study looks at how an exercise program affects “healthy outcomes” in people with type 1 diabetes. You might be invited if you are the right age, generally less active, and have a safe health profile for exercising.
