Research project title:
Influence of moderate exercise on blood glucose in type 2 diabetics and healthy controls.
Project description and objective
Obesity is so widespread in Denmark that 47% of the population is classed as overweight (BMI>=25) and around 13% of the population is classed as obese (BMI>=30).
The strong correlation between obesity and type 2 diabetes (at least 2/3 of type 2 diabetics are overweight) has led to many studies which look at different forms of exercise for this group, because weight loss may improve the diabetes and even defer the onset of the disorder and in doing so lower complications and increase long term survival.
For people who do not have type 2 diabetes, the work-induced increased sympathetic activity will lead to suppressed insulin secretion and increased glucagon secretion. This increases the endogenous glucose production from the liver and thus maintains a normal concentration of blood sugar in a physical training situation where the demand for glucose has increased.
The theory behind the project is that the mechanisms that help to increase glucose production in the liver during physical activity are weaker in type 2 diabetics, which can cause hypoglycaemia during and after physical exercise. In other words, we want to study the liver's sensitivity to stimulus from physical work by patients with type 2 diabetes and in relevant healthy control subjects.
Previous studies have indicated that this type of mechanism is not intact in type 2 diabetics; because the level of insulin does not fall as expected during or after physical training. However, there are no existing studies that measure the liver's glucose secretion using stable isotopes during prolonged moderate physical work. Measuring this will help to clarify our understanding of glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetics.
This study is very relevant, because it may be expected that the preferred form of physical exercise of an overweight type 2 diabetic can be of moderate intensity and previous studies also show that this form of physical exercise delivers health gains in terms of an improvement in insulin sensitivity and a reduction in the level of insulin.
The objective of this study is to determine if the level of blood glucose stays constant before, during and after physical training and to examine the liver's ability to secret glucose accordingly.

- Glucose homeostasis in controls, type 2 diabetics without medication and type 2 diabetics in metformin treatment. [ Time Frame: Observational study. Glucose homeostasis is tested one day only (in our Lab). Samples are taken 2,5 hours before, during and untill 1 hour after 45 minutes of exercise. Samples are taken every 5 minutes. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Glucose, hormones, substrates, metabolites and glucose-isotopes as mentioned in the protocol.
These end points will be measured on test day 2 only. Hormones and metabolites will be measured as AUC and total concentrations.
- MAP during moderate exercise [ Time Frame: 45 min of moderate exercise (test day 2). ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]MAP is continuously measured during exercise for 45 mins. (At 60% heart rate reserve)
- vo2max [ Time Frame: one measurement each subject (test day 1) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Is measured in all subjects prior to test day 2
- DXA-values [ Time Frame: one measurement each subject (test day 1) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]DXA (fat%, lean body mass, BMD)is measured prior to test day 2
- IL-6 and incretins [ Time Frame: Observational study. Each test subject is tested for IL-6 and incretins one day only (in our Lab), where blood samples are taken continously during the test day every 5 minutes before, during and after exercise (test day 2). ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Effect of exercise on IL-6 and incretins. Described as AUC and total concentrations.
