Exercise comparison for blood sugar control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense bursts versus longer, moderate workouts—to see which better manages blood sugar in people without diabetes or with prediabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor for 11 days while doing the exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have diabetes (Type 1 or 2) and are not taking medication for blood sugar.
- You are willing to do both high-intensity interval training and moderate aerobic exercise.
- You can wear a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor on your skin) for 11 days.
- You do not have skin allergies to medical adhesives or conditions that prevent vigorous exercise.

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.
This study compares two exercise programs (short bursts of intense activity vs. longer, steady exercise) to see which works better for people with prediabetes. It may help you prevent or manage diabetes through a structured fitness routine.
This study compares two exercise programs (high-intensity interval training and moderate continuous training) to see which better improves movement, muscle strength, and quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study looks at how the timing of exercise affects blood sugar after meals. If you are a healthy, active young adult, you may be able to help by doing treadmill running and wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
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.
