TOPLINE:

Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) exhibited significantly greater increases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the cardiopulmonary exercise stress test than healthy control individuals. Resting systolic blood pressure and the duration of diabetes were significant predictors of higher blood pressure during exercise.

METHODOLOGY:

Researchers conducted a cross-sectional exploratory study to evaluate blood pressure responses to exercise and identify determinants of these changes during an exercise stress test in patients with T1D.

This study enrolled 52 patients with T1D, including younger patients (< 35 years; n = 35) and older patients (> 35 years; n = 17) with a disease duration of more than 5 years, and 25 healthy control individuals.
