For people with diabetes, lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity levels and improving diet, can help improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.
However, recent research suggests that the timing of exercise or meals also plays an important role in improving blood glucose results.
In particular, eating breakfast at the right time can offer significant benefits in preventing post-breakfast hyperglycemia.
Eating breakfast later, at 9:30 AM, can significantly improve blood sugar results for people with diabetes compared to eating at 7:00 AM.
Eating breakfast at 9:30 AM is beneficial for diabetic patients.
In a study recently published in the journal Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews, scientists have identified the best time to eat breakfast to reduce blood sugar spikes in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to the medical news website News Medical.
To investigate the combined impact of changing breakfast times and a 20-minute brisk walk after breakfast on post-meal blood glucose levels, experts from the Nutrition and Exercise Research Program, Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research, Australian Catholic University (Australia) conducted a 6-week trial on 14 diabetic patients aged 30-70.
Participants were divided into three groups, having breakfast at 7:00, 9:30, or 12:00.
They were also asked to walk briskly for 20, 30, and 60 minutes after breakfast and record their daily food intake along with their sleep habits. They also wore devices to track their distance and activity.
Of the 14 original participants, one withdrew and two were disqualified for failing to comply with the rules.
The results showed that those who ate breakfast at 9:30 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. experienced a significant reduction in post-meal blood sugar levels compared to those who ate breakfast at 7:00 a.m., according to News Medical.
For people with diabetes, lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity and improving diet, can help improve blood sugar control.
And exercising for 20 minutes after breakfast helps to slightly improve these blood sugar levels.
The authors concluded: This is reliable evidence regarding the impact of breakfast timing on postprandial glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients. The results showed that eating breakfast at 9:30 or 12:00 can significantly improve glycemic outcomes compared to eating breakfast early at 7:00.
The authors say the findings highlight that changing the timing of breakfast could be a simple and practical way to help control blood sugar for people with diabetes.
The phenomenon of cortisol levels peaking around 8 a.m. and the elevated blood glucose levels upon waking cause high blood glucose levels in the early morning in people with diabetes. Therefore, interventions to reduce morning hyperglycemia are crucial for overall daily glucose control in diabetic patients.
Researchers say that adopting this breakfast time over the long term will help improve blood sugar control, reducing risks associated with poor blood sugar control, such as insulin resistance and increased risk of metabolic cardiovascular disease.
They also stated that larger-scale future studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess the long-term feasibility of adjusting breakfast times and exercise for diabetic patients.
