Activity snacking may help with type 1 diabetes, study suggests
Walking for three minutes every half an hour could help improve blood sugar levels, a small trial presented at a UK diabetes charity's conference suggests.
Dr Elizabeth Robertson, director of research at Diabetes UK, which funded the study, said for people with type 1 diabetes, managing blood sugar levels day in, day out, can be "relentless". He said for some people with type 1 diabetes "activity snacking" could be an important stepping stone towards more regular physical activity and for others it could be a simple intervention to help manage blood glucose levels.
In one session they remained seated. In the other they broke up the seven hours with three-minute bouts of light intensity walking every 30 minutes.
