Abstract in brief

  • Walking for 10 minutes after each main meal significantly lowers post-meal blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes compared to walking for 30 minutes once a day, especially after evening meals with high carbohydrates.
  • This suggests that current physical activity guidelines for diabetes could be improved by recommending specific timing of walking around mealtimes to better control blood glucose.
  • The study measured blood sugar continuously and found that post-meal walks reduced the blood sugar increase, highlighting the importance of timing in physical activity for managing diabetes effectively.]

To lower blood glucose levels, it's better to take a 10-minute walk after each of the three main meals (starting within 5 minutes of completing the meal) than to take one 30-minute walk at any time of the day. https://t.co/0DPsKQavVb
