The effect of insulin on post-exercise hypoglycemia in adults with type 2 diabetes participating in outpatient exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFew studies have reported on self-monitored blood glucose changes following acute exercise, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes prescribed oral sulfonylureas and insulin medication. This study sought to determine the magnitude of post-exercise blood glucose changes and incidence of hypoglycemia (blood glucose < 4.0 mmol/L) in relation to medication regimen.
methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted in adults with type 2 diabetes attending a 6-month rehabilitation program. Demographics, medications, exercise prescription and patient-reported pre/post-BG values were collected at program initiation. It was hypothesized that patients with type 2 diabetes will experience a post-exercise capillary blood glucose reduction (ΔcapBG), and that incidents of hypoglycemia (< 4.0 mmol/L) will be strongly associated with insulin or oral secretagogue class of medication.
resultsA chart review was conducted (n = 52, 46.2% males, mean age: 62.7 ± 8.3 years, A1c: 7.7 ± 1.6%, body mass index, BMI: 34.4 ± 7.8 kg/m
conclusionsThese findings may suggest a low post-exercise hypoglycemia occurrence in patients with type 2 diabetes, except when taking insulin. Self-management strategies should be considered, especially for patients on insulin medications.
