- Abstract
Cardiovascular events and death are better predicted by postprandial glucose (PPG) than by fasting blood glucose or HbA(1c). While chronic exercise reduces HbA(1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes, short-term exercise improves measures of insulin sensitivity but does not consistently alter responses to the OGTT. The purpose of this study was to determine whether short-term exercise training improves PPG and glycaemic control in free-living patients with type 2 diabetes, independently of the changes in fitness, adiposity and energy balance often associated with chronic exercise training.
