A recent study in Nutrients explores how various exercise parameters impact post-meal glucose responses in healthy and diabetic individuals. Exercise timing influences blood glucose levels, with pre-meal exercise promoting fat oxidation and stabilizing glucose levels. Post-meal exercise has greater benefits in controlling glucose levels for both non-diabetic and diabetic individuals. Both aerobic and resistance exercises, when combined, play a significant role in managing glucose levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Exercise type, duration, and intensity should be tailored to individual needs to optimize postprandial glycemic levels. Studies suggest that exercise sessions of 30-60 minutes can improve postprandial blood glucose levels.
