title: [Ergospirometric studies on patients with diabetes mellitus and the effect of biguanides on physical performance].
abstract: 24 diabetic patients had submaximal exercise testing before, and 4 days after, biguanide treatment. Biguanide treatment resulted in a significantly decreased exercise capacity. This is explained by increased anaerobic energy production, which results in a decrease of the performance of an individual.
