Nutritional strategies are needed to aid people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in managing glycemia following exercise. Secondary analyses were conducted from a randomized trial of an adaptive behavioral intervention to assess the relationship between post-exercise and daily protein (g/kg) intake on glycemia following moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among adolescents with T1D. Adolescents (Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the leading causes of chronic disease in youth, with an estimated prevalence of 9 million people globally [Participation in regular physical activity is a central part of both diabetes and weight management for adolescents with T1D. The American Diabetes Association recommends that adolescents with T1D participate in at least 60 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) [While expert recommendations for carbohydrate intake before or after exercise for people with T1D have been published [Among adolescents with T1D, protein intake has been associated with a mild hyperglycemic effect which persists for at least 5 h post-prandial [As such, the primary aims of this study were to conduct secondary data analysis using data from a randomized trial of an adaptive behavioral intervention among adolescents with T1D to investigate the role of post-exercise (Aim 1) and daily protein intake (Aim 2) on glycemia following bouts of MVPA until the following morning. It was hypothesized that both post-exercise and daily protein intake would be associated with improvements in TIR and reductions in TBR following exercise among adolescents with T1D.
