Abstract:
Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes therapy has historically followed the insulin/food/physical exercise triad. Today it is known that strength training (TF) has benefits such as decreased fasting glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, stimulates translocation of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle, increases insulin sensitivity, restoring metabolic control. The objective of this research was to observe the glycemic responses of a type 1 diabetic who underwent strength training at different intensities. Methods: A 26-year-old woman with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus participated in this research, with a trained diagnosis time of 22 (twenty-two) years. The volunteer participated in three non-consecutive days of intervention at the first visit. The evaluation was performed with a test of Maximum Repetition (1RM) in the following exercises: Bench press; Knee extension on the device; Peck Deck; Front high pulley with cable; Leg 45°; Low row with triangle. On the second visit to the laboratory, the TF session was performed at 40% of 1RM. On the third visit, the session was performed at 80% of 1RM, capillary blood glucose was collected before, during and immediately after each strength training session. Results: The results observed showed that the exercise of less intensity, at 40% of 1 RM, showed a greater drop in capillary glycemia during and immediately after the TF session. Conclusion: Different intensities will result in different physiological responses. It is important to highlight the need for blood glucose monitoring before, during and after training.
