Exercise and the dipeptidyl‐peptidase IV inhibitor sitagliptin do not improve beta‐cell function and glucose homeostasis in long‐lasting type 1 diabetes—A randomised open‐label study

Increasing evidence points to beta-cell regeneration in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM) at all stages of the disease. Exercise and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) independently improve beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis in animal studies and in clinical trials in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Whether a combination of both, exercise and GLP-1, induces a similar effect in individuals with...
