Exercise for postmenopausal women with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female.
- You have type 1 diabetes and have used insulin (pumps or multiple daily shots) for more than 1 year.
- You are 60 years or older, or 50 years or older with some frailty (level 4 on a clinical frailty scale).
- You are not very active: less than 30 minutes of aerobic exercise fewer than 3 times a week, and you don't currently lift weights.
- You are postmenopausal: no periods for at least 12 months, or you had your uterus and both ovaries removed and at least 1 year has passed.
- You have not done resistance training (weight lifting) in the past 6 months, and you have no serious health problems that prevent safe exercise (like severe nerve damage, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or recent foot wounds).
