[Impact of different activity modes and durations on immediate serum glucose response among type 2 diabetes mellitus
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of different activity modes and durations on glucose response among type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Twenty-one subjects who met the selection criteria were selected by purposive sampling. A subject's serum glucose level was determined by using the mini Accutrend monitor before, and then 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and 40 minutes after three kinds of activities, which included rest, hospital routines (such as registering, getting medication, waiting in line, etc.), and aerobic exercise. The results of this study demonstrated that the decrease in serum glucose was greater after performing aerobic exercise than after rest or hospital routines. Also, a greater decrease in serum glucose was found after 20, 30, and 40 minutes aerobic exercise than after 10 minutes aerobic exercise. Subjects who took sulfonylurea had a larger decrease in serum glucose after 10 minutes aerobic exercise than subjects who took metformin. A greater decrease in serum glucose was found in males than females after aerobic exercise.
