Lunchtime lecture to weigh risks and benefits of exercise for diabetics

High-intensity aerobic exercise affords the greatest cardiovascular protection but lends the greatest risk of hypoglycemia development for people with Type 1 diabetes.

Jamie Melling, a kinesiology professor at Western University, will explore his work to develop sustainable chronic exercise programs for these diabetic patients in a free lecture entitled “Exercising with Type 1 Diabetes:  Do the Benefits Outweigh the Risks?”

The event, part of the Faculty of Human Kinetics Distinguished Speakers’ Series, will begin at noon Friday, January 19, in room 144, Human Kinetics Building.
