Galactose - the Ideal Carbohydrate Supplement for Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes

Sponsor: University of Aarhus

Summary

In this study, 14 subjects with type 1 diabetes are studied in a randomized crossover study in which the subjects cycle at a fixed intensity at 60% of their maximum oxygen capacity (VO2 max) for 1 hour. Thirty minutes before each cycling test, participants consume a 200 ml beverage, consisting of either: 1) dextrose (20 g), 2) galactose (20 g), 3) lactose (20 g) or 4) water (sweetened). If blood sugar drops below 3.9 mmol/l, glucose infusion is given and blood sugar is kept just above 5 mmol/L. The trial days take place at least 4 days apart.
