A new review found that exercising later in the day can improve blood sugar control in people with Type 2 diabetes, while morning exercise may worsen it. The timing of exercise affects how it influences metabolism, especially for those with Type 2 diabetes.
A recent review analyzed multiple studies on the impact of exercise timing on metabolism in healthy individuals and those with Type 2 diabetes. The review found that exercising later in the day resulted in substantial and lasting improvements to blood sugar control in people with Type 2 diabetes. In contrast, morning exercise often led to increased blood sugar and impaired insulin responses. The review suggests that exercise timing affects circadian rhythms, which are disrupted in people with Type 2 diabetes. As a result, exercising at the right time can help improve blood sugar control. The findings have significant implications for managing Type 2 diabetes, a condition affecting millions of American adults.
