Safety and magnitude of changes in blood glucose levels following exercise performed in the fasted and the postprandial state in men with type 2 diabetes

Information on the extent to which acute exercise reduces blood glucose levels (BGL) in type 2 diabetes is lacking. For this reason, the effects of exercise initiated at different preexercise BGL were assessed in men with type 2 diabetes both in the fasted (FS) and the postprandial states (PS).Forty-three men with type 2 diabetes, 12 on diet alone and 31 on hypoglycaemic agents, completed a total of 1555 exercise sessions performed in the FS and...
