Studies to explore whether exercise can help preserve pancreatic beta-cell function in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes should be conducted, say the authors of a new review.
Dr Parth Narendran (Institute of Biomedical Research, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom) and colleagues say their conclusion is motivated by an appreciation of the importance of residual insulin secretion in people with type 1 diabetes.
However, many of the trials in type 1 diabetes involving immunotherapies aimed at preserving beta-cell function have shown potential for harm, they note in their paper published online October 21 in Diabetologia.
"It made us realize that we need to think outside the box and perhaps look at what has worked in other forms of diabetes," Dr Narendran told Medscape Medical News.
