The objective was to verify the acute glycemic responses and the perception of enjoyment and effort after a physical exercise session with online supervision in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). Nine adults with T2D participated in the experimental (ES) and control (CS) sessions. ES comprised aerobic and strength exercises (intensity of 11-13 on the Borg Scale), totaling 37 min, with online supervision. In the CS, the participants remained at rest for 37 min. Capillary blood glucose measurements were taken before, immediately after, 15, and 30 min after each session. After the ES, the perception of enjoyment was verified using the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) and the subjective perceived exertion (SPE) using the 0-10 modified Borg’s Scale. Descriptive statistics (mean ± standard deviation) and Generalized Estimating Equations were used (α = 0.05). Capillary blood glucose values did not present significant interaction (p = 0.700). Likewise, the moment effect was not significant between pre, immediate post, 15 and 30 min post (p = 0.746), as well as the session effect between ES and CS (p = 0.282). For the ES, the score on the PACES was 115.6 ± 14.1 points, and the SPE was 3.1 ± 0.8. It is concluded that the physical exercise session with online supervision was perceived as fun and low intensity, which can be considered as a positive tool for adherence to a long-term physical exercise program. However, it was not able to significantly impact on capillary glycemia in adults with T2D.
