Blood glucose trends caused by different types of exercise in individuals with type 1 diabetes

In general, aerobic exercise decreases blood glucose, anaerobic exercise increases blood glucose, and mixed activities are associated with glucose stability. Individual responses are dependent on various additional factors, including the duration and intensity of the activity; initial blood glucose concentrations; individual fitness; concentrations of insulin, glucagon, and other counterregulatory hormones in the circulation; and the nutritional status of the individual.
