Inflammatory markers and blood glucose are higher after morning vs afternoon exercise in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of time of day on glucose management in individuals with type 2 diabetes undertaking high-intensity interval exercise. Additionally, the association between regular eating behaviour and mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions was examined. Specifically, the primary outcome was to determine the effect of the intervention on 24 h glucose levels.

Methods

A crossover trial was conducted, comprising 12 men and 12 women with type 2 diabetes and 12 men and 12 women without diabetes. Participants performed high-intensity interval exercise sessions in the morning (09:00 hours) or afternoon (16:00 hours) on separate days at least 7 days apart. Standardised meals were provided the day before exercise, on the day of exercis
