Diurnal patterns of objectively measured sedentary time and interruptions to sedentary time are associated with glycaemic indices in type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: To investigate diurnal patterns of sedentary time and interruptions to sedentary time and their associations with achievement of pre-meal glucose, post-meal glucose, bedtime glucose and the dawn phenomenon targets and with duration of hypoglycaemia, euglycaemia, hyperglycaemia and above target range.

Design: Intensive longitudinal study.

Methods: In 37 adults with type 2 diabetes, the FreeStyle Libre and activPAL3 were used to monitor glucose and sedentary time and interruptions to sedentary time in the morning (07:00-12:00), afternoon (12:00-17:00) and evening (17:00-23:00) for 14 days.

Impact of free-living pattern of sedentary behaviour on intra-day glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: To investigate how the pattern of sedentary behaviour affects intra-day glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes.

Methods: This intensive longitudinal study was conducted in 37 participants with type 2 diabetes (age, 62.8 ± 10.

Dose-response between frequency of breaks in sedentary time and glucose control in type 2 diabetes: A proof of concept study.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate dose-response between frequency of breaks in sedentary time and glucose control.

Design: Randomised three-treatment, two-period balanced incomplete block trial.

Methods: Twelve adults with type 2 diabetes (age, 60±11years; body mass index, 30.

Are glucose profiles well-controlled within the targets recommended by the International diabetes Federation in type 2 diabetes? A meta-analysis of results from continuous glucose monitoring based studies.

Aims: To assess continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) derived intra-day glucose profiles using global guideline for type 2 diabetes recommended by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).

Methods: The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL and Science Direct were searched to identify observational studies reporting intra-day glucose profiles using CGM in people with type 2 diabetes on any anti-diabetes agents. Overall and subgroup analyses were conducted to summarise mean differences between reported glucose profiles (fasting glucose, pre-meal glucose, postprandial glucose and post-meal glucose spike/excursion) and the IDF targets.

The associations of sedentary time and breaks in sedentary time with 24-hour glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of accelerometer-assessed sedentary time and breaks in sedentary time with 24-h events and duration of hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/l), euglycaemia (3.9-7.

Promoting and maintaining physical activity in people with type 2 diabetes.

Background: Limited research has investigated how to promote physical activity in people with type 2 diabetes. This study evaluated physical activity counseling over 12 months in people with type 2 diabetes.

Design: Participants were given standard exercise information and randomly assigned to receive physical activity counseling or not.
