Exercise and Time of Day in Type 2 Diabetes

Exercise Time of Day for Cardiometabolic Health in Type 2 Diabetes

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The overall purpose of the study is to test the effect exercise time of day in adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. The overarching hypothesis is that afternoon exercise in the afternoon may promote better changes in metabolic and vascular insulin sensitivity. We anticipate that these changes will correlate with glycemic control and blood pressure changes.
