Abstract in brief

  • Postprandial walking (after dinner) is more effective at reducing blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes than walking before dinner or not exercising at all.
  • The study involved participants walking either before or after their evening meal for 20 minutes, with blood glucose tracked over four hours; post-meal walking led to lower blood glucose at the end of exercise.
  • While the total blood sugar exposure (area under the curve) was similar across all trials, post-meal walking showed a potential advantage in controlling post-dinner blood sugar spikes in diabetics.]

@snigdhasur Simple remedy to lower glucose levels is to do 10-15 walk 30mins after eating. This lowers the glucose levels as all the glucose one eats by using it for walking. And yes, it is "scientifically" proven by many many researchers such as https://t.co/FhXFqsOsxu

'Postprandial walking may be more effective at lowering the glycemic impact of the evening meal in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared with pre-meal or no exercise and may be an effective means to blunt postprandial glycemic excursions.' https://t.co/Ni7SaX1503 https://t.co/WDNWI4Fwcj

@DrYogeshaherwar Hello Doctor! It'd be good if docs start telling patients to specifically read up the "ICMR Dietary guidelines for Indians". The document comes up on Google search. Also for exercise, peeps should specifically be educated to walk for 30mins after dinner. https://t.co/Ni7SaX1503
