 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I acknowledge my special thanks to our

biology teacher MISS REECHA PANDEY for her
valuable help in completing this project.
I am also indebted to my principal,
MR.K.KRUPANANDAM without whose help it
would not have been possible for me to
accomplish this task. I am also thankful to my
parents for their blessing and co-operation
that has encouraged me to complete this
project.
Last but not the least I am also thankful to my
fellow mates for their co-operation, which
helped me to complete this project.

 Abstract
The objective: The goal of this project is to determine
the effect of exercise on the blood glucose levels of
people with Type 1 diabetes. When people eat
carbohydrates, they are turned into glucose, or sugar,
and enter the bloodstream using a hormone called
insulin that converts it into energy. When the
pancreas stops making insulin, it results in the illness
known as Type 1 diabetes. Overall, I plan to help
people with diabetes have better control of their
blood glucose to avoid serious health complications.
Methods/Materials
The blood glucose levels of a person with Type 1 diabetes
and a person without diabetes were recorded four times a
day during two separate weeks.
Two major influences on blood glucose levels were
controlled in this setting -- the amount/type of food and the
physical activity.
The testing tools included blood glucose monitors that
measure glucose levels in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL);
calibrated test strips that are placed into the monitor; and
lancets, spring-loaded needles used to draw a sample of
blood.
Conclusions/Discussion
People with Type 1 diabetes must balance their insulin
intake with constantly changing factors # food, physical
activity, stress, hormonal changes, growth, illness, and
fatigue.
In everyone, blood-glucose levels are influenced by factors
including estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormone, and
emotional and physical stress hormones. Research
indicated that growth hormones were influencing this
experiment.
Without diabetes, the endocrine system releases insulin as
needed. With diabetes, a blood glucose test is the only way
to determine if other factors are influencing blood glucose
levels, so treatment is merely reactive.
The science project is to determine the effect of exercise on
blood glucose levels of a person with Type 1 diabetes.
Results
Even during sustained exercise and insulin therapy, it was
difficult to control the blood glucose levels of the person
with Type 1 diabetes (normal blood glucose levels range
from 70 to 120 mg/dL). During the initial eight-day period,
blood glucose levels were rarely within the normal range.
