EXTOD - Active: Study looking at the effect of regular activity on people with Type 1 diabetes

This 6-week study aims to assess how taking regular active breaks can have a positive effect on glucose management and daily insulin dose on sedate people with Type 1 diabetes.

This study is being conducted fully remotely. You will be asked to complete 2 health assessments and wear an activity monitor for five weeks. As part of the study, you may be asked to include “active breaks” into your normal routine. Adding in active breaks will mean completing short three-minute walks on a regular basis. You will get access to a mobile fitness app that will support you in doing this.

You will be compensated with a £75 (LovetoShop voucher) for your participation.

After completing the pre-screener, you will be asked to schedule a telephone or video call with a member of the research team.
During this short call, the study team will check your eligibility for the trial and get your consent to participate.
If you decide to enrol in the study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the control group who will continue with their normal lifestyle or the “active breaks” group
All study participants will be asked to complete a health assessment at the start. This will include a range of tests (eg blood samples, body measurements etc) as well as questionnaires about lifestyle and medical history. You will be provided all of the equipment to do these tests.
All study participants will be asked to wear an activity monitor for 5 weeks.
If randomly allocated to the “active breaks” group you will complete a four-week programme of ‘active breaks’ consisting of regular short walks to break up sitting time. During this time you will have access to a mobile fitness app that will prompt you to go for the short walks.
At the end of the study, you will be asked to complete a second health assessment.
