Scientists Have Figured Out What Time Diabetics Should Play Sports

Australian Catholic University recommends going to the gym late at night to maximize your metabolism and lower your blood sugar at night. As part of the study, scientists analyzed metabolic processes in 24 overweight men who were at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and ate fatty foods.

It turned out that morning and evening training improved the state of the cardio-respiratory system, and training in the late evening lowered glucose levels during the night. As part of the study, volunteers were divided into groups, depending on the time of training - morning, evening, or no exercise (control group).

Regardless of the time of day, exercise improved cardio-respiratory health. But in terms of lowering blood sugar at night, late workouts worked perfectly. According to scientists, this is an important discovery for people with type 2 diabetes, because they often suffer from sugar surges at night.
