Exercising With Type 1 Diabetes: Physiological Concerns and a Clinical Perspective addresses the key aspects of exercising with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The DVD details the physiological concerns of athletes with T1D, as well as looks at exercising with T1D from a clinical perspective. Initially, the DVD defines type 1 diabetes and explains how those individuals with T1D can optimize their level of performance through appropriate fuel availability. The DVD reviews the three energy systems that work during physical activity (ATP-CP, glycolysis, and aerobic) and outlines ways to prevent hypoglycemia. Finally, the DVD discusses the problem of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) from a clinical perspective, including a review of the "vicious cycle of hypoglycemia.
Among the topics covered:
Exercising with type 1 diabetes: physiological concerns
Keys to exercise success
Why avoid low BG with exercise?
Aerobic vs. resistance exercise effects

Diabetes is a complex endocrine disorder that affects both the body's ability to regulate glucose, and insulin secretion and utilization. Loss of normal insulin physiology results in changes in how fuel is used in the body, and how storage and hydration occurs. Many clients with diabetes have macro- or microvascular complications from their disease, which alters their ability to fuel appropriately, maintain hydration status and train. Diabetes and Exercise reviews type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the metabolic complications that are associated with this disorder.

The Role of Dietary Protein in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes provides an overview of how amino acid/protein can be used as a nutritional strategy to modulate glycemic control. Featuring one of the most respected sports scientists in the world, this Tutorial Lecture from the 2009 ACSM annual meeting discusses the fact that hyperglycemia is a severely underestimated problem in type 2 diabetes and explains why pharmaceutical intervention does not provide ample protection from postprandial hyperglycemia. The DVD details how the co-ingestion of protein (hydrolysate) with or without additional leucine can be used to augment postprandial insulin secretion and improve glucose homeostasis in long-term diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.
