The impact of prolonged walking on fasting plasma glucose in type 2 diabetes: A randomised controlled crossover study

Fasting plasma glucose is not meaningfully affected by prolonged walking in participants with type 2 diabetes; therefore, the reliability of fasting glucose for monitoring glycaemic burden is unlikely to be altered in patients who walk to the clinic.

- Comparison
- Walking on treadmill vs resting
- Primary endpoint
