Interval Training May Help Control Blood Sugar in People with T2D, Prediabetes

On its “All Things Considered” program and in its “Shots” blog, NPR reported that a study published in the journal Diabetologia suggests that “interval training may help the millions of people with type 2 diabetes [T2D] and prediabetes who are trying to control their blood sugar.” One group of study volunteers “was instructed to walk three minutes briskly, followed by three minutes at a more restful pace” for one hour, while the other “walked at a continuous pace for the same amount of time.” Researchers found that “the interval walkers did improve,” but that “the steady-paced walkers saw no improvement at all.”
