Is it better to exercise in the morning or later in the day?
In this episode of Diabetes Insights, Dr Jeroen van der Velde discusses the latest research on exercise timing and its impact on metabolic health and type 2 diabetes with EASD TV Host, Vivienne Parry.
He explains how circadian rhythms influence glucose metabolism, why exercising later in the day may improve glycaemic control for some people, and what researchers are learning about chronotypes, shift work and meal timing.
While the science continues to evolve, one message remains clear: regular physical activity is one of the most effective ways to improve health—and finding time to exercise is more important than finding the "perfect" time.
