Sažetak
The incidence of diabetes is increasing worldwide, emphasizing an emerging need for
blood glucose control optimization to prevent the development of chronic complications and improve
the quality of life. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effects of total physical activity
on microvascular diabetic complication development in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
The study included 71 T1DM patients, average age 41 years and HbA1c 7.78%. Most patients (82.1%)
reported having hypoglycemia, while the minority of patients developed microvascular complications,
mostly nonproliferative retinopathy (17.7%). All subjects included in the study were moderately or vigorously
physically active. No association was observed between total physical activity and regulation of
glycemia, hypoglycemic incidents, or development of microvascular complications. Until sufficient data
from prospective studies become available, our data support the findings of no negative effect of higher
intensity physical activity on the development of microvascular complications in T1DM patients.
