Galactose drink for muscle recovery after exercise in type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether drinking a sugar called galactose after exercise helps refill muscle energy stores better than water in people with type 1 diabetes. It uses a one-legged cycling workout and an MRI scan to measure changes in your muscles.

This study tests how exercising in hot conditions affects blood sugar levels in people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to help you understand how to manage your glucose when it's warm.
This study tests whether a small amount of galactose (a natural sugar) affects how your body controls blood sugar levels. Researchers want to understand how your body processes this sugar and whether it could have health benefits.
This trial looks at how blood sugar levels change during exercise in healthy adults and people with type 1 diabetes. It may help understand how the body responds to exercise differently from person to person.
This study tests if exercising before breakfast (while fasting) helps improve blood sugar control and heart health in people with type 1 diabetes. You'll continue using your insulin pump and glucose monitor, and attend supervised exercise sessions and MRI scans to measure changes in your body.
If you have type 1 diabetes, this study tests a personalized tool that gives you advice on managing your blood sugar during and after exercise. If you are a healthy volunteer, you might join to provide a comparison group. The study involves moderate walking sessions while wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and using a special app.
