Summary

Type 1 diabetes affects skeletal muscle, accelerating age-related strength loss and slowing recovery from injury. This research examines whether standard exercise guidelines improve muscle health and metabolic function in individuals with type 1 diabetes. A 12-week study measures fitness, glucose control, and muscle biology to determine optimal exercise strategies.
