Purpose: To evaluate the effects of aerobic (AER) or aerobic plus resistance exercise (COMB) sessions on glucose levels and glucose variability in patients with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, we assessed conventional and non-conventional methods to analyze glucose variability derived from multiple measurements performed with continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). Methods: Fourteen patients with type 2 diabetes (5662 years) wore a CGMS during 3 days. Participants randomly performed AER and COMB sessions, both in the morning (24 h after CGMS placement), and at least 7 days apart. Glucose variability was evaluated by glucose standard deviation, glucose variance, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), and glucose coefficient of variation (conventional methods) as well as by spectral and symbolic analysis (non-conventional methods). Results: Baseline fasting glycemia was 139605 mg/dL and HbA1c 7.960.7%. Glucose levels decreased immediately after AER and COMB protocols by ,16%, which was sustained for approximately 3 hours. Comparing the two exercise modalities, responses over a 24-h period after the sessions were similar for glucose levels, glucose variance and glucose coefficient of variation. In the symbolic analysis, increases in 0 V pattern (COMB, 67.067.1 vs. 76.066.3, P = 0.003) and decreases in 1 V pattern (COMB, 29.165.3 vs. 21.565.1, P = 0.004) were observed only after the COMB session. Conclusions: Both AER and COMB exercise modalities reduce glucose levels similarly for a short period of time. The
