Official Title: Effects of Physical Exercise on Glucose Metabolism and Related Metabolic Signatures in South Asian and Nordic Women With Previous Gestational Diabetes (DIASA-Ex)
Brief Summary:
South Asian women have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and the risk is particularly high after gestational diabetes. This study examined whether eight weeks of supervised vigorous exercise improves insulin sensitivity in South Asian women with previous gestational diabetes, and whether the response differs from that of Nordic women with the same history.Participants trained four times per week, with two whole-body resistance sessions and two high-intensity interval cycling sessions. Before and after the…
