NOVO, Tiago R. NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE CARBOHYDRATE RATIO IN INDIVIDUALS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN SPORT. Acta Port Nutr [online]. 2022, n.30, pp.62-66.  Epub 05-Mar-2023. ISSN 2183-5985.  https://doi.org/10.21011/apn.2022.3011.

For individuals with type 2 diabetes, it is necessary to optimize the sports program to prevent dysglycemia and improve performance and recovery regardless of the sport. The different glycemic responses subsequent to the interventions of an aerobic resistance sport protocol make its implementation difficult based on the recommendations used for the use of carbohydrates for aerobic performance and sport recovery. The combined intake of different types of carbohydrates may be a more suitable strategy to help maximize aerobic performance and accelerate post-workout recovery with a recommended ratio of glucose:fructose of 2:1 especially in individuals with gastrointestinal problems. There are no studies about recommendations for proportions of types of carbohydrates before, during and/or after training for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Future perspectives suggest opening new branches of 2 investigation and defining models of dietary strategies in individuals with type 2 diabetes in the field of sport.
