For people with type 2 diabetes, the afternoon may be the best time to work out to maximize the benefits of the exercise.
TUESDAY, May 30, 2023 -- If you're one of the millions of folks living with type 2 diabetes, you know that regular exercise can help you keep your blood sugar in check.The new study wasn’t designed to say how, or even if, exercising in the afternoon is better for blood sugar control, but researchers have some theories.
Afternoon exercisers, those who worked out between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., showed a greater improvement in blood sugar control at one year, which was maintained after four years. What’s more, the folks who exercised in the afternoon were more likely to no longer need glucose-lowering diabetes medications.
For example, timing of exercise may result in changes to diet or sleep patterns that drive the improvements in blood sugar and reduced use of glucose-lowering medications, she said.Her advice?"I would encourage people to exercise when they are most likely to consistently do it, whether that is first thing in the morning or the afternoon,” she said.
Dr. Ruchi Mathur agreed. She is an endocrinologist at the Cedars-Sinai Diabetes Outpatient Treatment and Education Center in Los Angeles.
