Exercise timing and blood sugar after meals
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the timing of exercise affects blood sugar after meals. If you are a healthy, active young adult, you may be able to help by doing treadmill running and wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
