New Zealand study recommends that type 2 diabetic patients change their
exercise routine to optimise blood sugar reduction. According to the journal « Diabetologia »,
walking just after eating in the evening is more effective in controlling blood
sugar. A 10 to 20 minute walk after eating helps control blood sugar levels.
These short walks lower blood sugar levels by 12% compared to walking once a
day. This improvement is even more significant after dinner, when the average
blood sugar intake appears to be higher: blood sugar levels drop by 22%. In
conclusion, the researchers advise diabetic patients to change the way they
move by taking a short walk after each meal, especially after carbohydrate-rich
meals such as bread, rice, potatoes and pasta. This practice allows them to
reduce their need for insulin injections.
