The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the impact of exercise on sleep and nocturnal hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a 3-week crossover trial, 10 adults with T1D were randomized to perform aerobic, resistance or no exercise. During each exercise week, participants completed two separate 45-minute exercise sessions at an academic medical center. Participants returned home and wore a continuous glucose monitor and a wrist based activity monitor to estimate sleep duration. Participants on average lost 70 (±49) minutes of sleep (p = 0.0015) on nights following aerobic exercise and 27 (±78) minutes (p=0.3) following resistance exercise relative to control nights. The odds ratio with confidence intervals of nocturnal hypoglycemia occurring on nights following aerobic and resistance exercise was 5.4 [1.3, 27.2] and 7.0 [1.7, 37.3], respectively. Aerobic exercise can cause sleep loss in T1D possibly from increased hypoglycemia.
