If you or a family member is a diabetic, be aware that the best time for you to exercise is in the afternoon or evening.  Dutch researchers studied 775 diabetics, 58% women and 42% men, with a mean age of 56 years and a mean BMI of 26.2.  That’s a tad overweight.

 

Compared with those who pursued moderate to vigorous physical activity at anytime of day, those who worked out in the afternoon enjoyed 18% lower insulin resistance and those who exercised in the evening had an even more impressive 25% drop of insulin resistance.

 

Exercise in general is good for your glucose metabolism and control of diabetes 1 or 2.  The best time to do it though turns out to be in the evening.
