CAPILLARY GLUCOSE BEHAVIOR AFTER ACUTE CONCURRENT EXERCISE SESSION IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS (Atena Editora)

Abstract

Physical exercise is an important non-pharmacological tool in glycemic control in patients with DM2, however little is known about the effect of an acute session of concurrent exercise on the behavior of capillary glycemia in recovery. The objective of the present study was to analyze the behavior of capillary blood glucose after an acute session of concurrent exercise in DM2. 8 women and 5 men, diagnosed with DM2, 62,6± 6,7 years, years, 78.2±8.6Kg, 27.9±2.4 Kg/m2, underwent an acute session lasting 60 minutes, with a prescription of concurrent exercise, with 50% aerobic exercises and 50% resistance exercises (emphasis on whole body muscle recruitment), at an intensity of <77% HRmax. (moderate) and collection of blood samples to analyze capillary blood glucose at rest and at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes of recovery. He advised all volunteers to observe medical recommendations regarding nutrition, use of drugs and physical activity. The results demonstrated a reduction in capillary blood glucose values at all moments of analysis during recovery compared to that observed at rest (190.3mg/dl). In R15' capillary blood glucose was 154.4mg/dl (reduction of 32.8mg/dl), in R30' it was 166.4mg/dl (reduction of 23.8mg/dl), in R45' it was 157.0mg/dl (reduction of 33.2mg/dl) and at R60' it was 151.3mg/dl (reduction of 38.7mg/dl). A significant difference was observed when comparing rest and R60’ (P<0.05). It is concluded that a single session of concurrent exercise induces physiological adjustments that promote reductions in capillary blood glucose during
