Abstract :The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the combined physical exercise protocols on the blood glucose (BG) of children with T1D. The study was conducted over four weeks using self-controlled clinical trials. The first two weeks were control period and the last two weeks were the experimental period. A total of 6 exercise sessions were performed 3 days a week during the experimental period. The exercise program consisted of aerobic, stretching, and resistance exercises. Each exercise session was performed for 40 minutes. A total of 15 children with T1D, whose mean age was 13.3±SD, were included in the study. The blood glucose and insulin dose data of the participants were recorded in both periods through the continuous glucose measurement system and the registry. It was determined that aerobic exercises provided a significant decrease in blood glucose (p 0.05). On the other hand, a statistically significant decrease was found in the total daily insulin doses used by participants during the experimental (31.6±20.8 Unit) period (p < 0.001). Physical exercises had an acute positive effect on blood glucose in children with T1D. However, the effect of exercise alone is not sufficient for chronic glycemic control in T1D. For chronic glycemic control, first of all, the injected insulin doses should be carefully regulated according to carbohydrates and exercise.Keywords : Tip 1 Diyabet, Egzersiz, Glisemik kontrol
