How active are people with Type 1 DM
Most
studies of physical activity (PA) levels in adults with Type 1 diabetes
have been based on self-reported data rather than objective data. They
all suggest that people with Type 1 diabetes are not very active.
Self-reported studies
- A retrospective analysis of the Diabetes and Complications Trial found 19% of (271/1441) participants were not achieving recommended PA levels (see - Effects of physical activity on the development and progression of microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes: retrospective analysis of the DCCT study).
- In the EURODIAB prospective cohort study of 2185 people with Type 1 diabetes from 16 European countries, 786 (36%) patients were doing no or only mild PA (see - Association of physical activity with all-cause mortality and incident and prevalent cardiovascular disease among patients with type 1 diabetes: the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study).
- In the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study, 23% of people with Type 1 diabetes were classed as sedentary and a further 21% were doing less than one session of exercise per week. (see - Physical Activity and Diabetes Complications in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes. The Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy (FinnDiane) Study).
- In a cross sectional study of 18028 patients with Type 1 diabetes in Germany and Austria 63% of participants reported doing no regular PA (see - Impact of Physical Activity on Glycemic Control and Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-sectional Multicenter Study of 18,028 Patients).
Objectively measured PA
- In a Canadian study of adults with Type 1 diabetes only 43% of women and 55% of men with Type 1 diabetes were active (see - Physical activity level and body composition among adults with Type 1 diabetes).
- In a UK study of adults with Type 1 diabetes, adults with Type 1 diabetes undertook 37 mins per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity compared to 52.9 mins per day in healthy matched controls. (see - Objective Measurement of Physical Activity in Adults With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes and Healthy Individuals).
The reasons for the reduced level of physical activity could be due to that additional barriers that people with Type 1 diabetes have to physical activity.
Patients with Type 1 diabetes have many barriers to exercise that are similar to the general populations such as
- Lack of time
- Work pressures
- Bad weather
- Cost
- Lack of motivation
But there are certain barriers that are specific to them, see table below.
Table showing barriers to physical activity in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
| New onset Type 1 diabetes | Established Type 1 diabetes |
|
|
To be able to increase activity these barriers will have to be overcome.
