About this trial
The purpose of this study is:
* To see if insulin resistance (how sensitive your muscle tissue is to insulin) is associated with lower cardio fitness in people with Type 1 diabetes compared to healthy controls, before and after a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) exercise program. * To see if being overweight and having Type 1 diabetes is associated with lower cardio fitness compared to overweight healthy controls, before and after a HIIT exercise program.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
• Male or female ≥21 and ≤50 years old
For persons with T1D: Disease duration ≥ 5 years and HbA1c ≤ 8.5% on multiple daily insulin injection or insulin pump
Body mass index: ≥19 and ≤27 kg/m2 for control and T1D, ≥30 and ≤40 kg/m2 (27.5 to 37.5 for Asian Americans) for obesity and T1D + obesity. BMI is limited to ≤40 kg/m2 (37.5 for Asian Americans) for easier vascular access and cardiac imaging.
Stable use of non-insulin medications for over 6 months other than estrogen/progesterone containing medications which must be discontinued at least 3 months prior to the study (intrauterine devices may be continued due to limited systemic absorption)
Disqualifiers
• Acute or chronic disease other than T1D or obesity
History of microvascular or macrovascular diabetes complications
History of diabetic ketoacidosis in the past 24 months
History of hypoglycemia unawareness
