Walking and glycemic control in T2DM: meta-analysis
Meta-analysis showing post-meal walking (10-15 min) significantly reduces postprandial glucose excursions in type 2 diabetes patients.
Evidence
- Postprandial glucose reduction: 12-22%
- Optimal timing: within 60 min of meal completion
- Even 5-minute walks show measurable benefit
Practical Protocol
Walk 10-15 minutes after each main meal for optimal glucose control.
Outcomes
- Postprandial Blood Glucose-17
