Summary
In this episode, Dr Jeroen van der Velde explores one of the most common questions in lifestyle medicine: does the time of day you exercise make a difference? Drawing on the latest research presented at the EASD Annual Meeting, he discusses how exercise timing may influence glycaemic control, the role of circadian rhythms in metabolic health, and why later-day exercise appears to offer benefits for people living with or at risk of type 2 diabetes. The conversation also examines chronotypes, shift work, meal timing and the importance of personalised lifestyle advice, while reinforcing the key message that regular physical activity remains the most important goal.
