Postprandial Walking Reduces Glucose Levels in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to investigate blood glucose changes, as measured by a continuous glucose monitoring system, that occur in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) following an acute bout of moderate-intensity walking after consuming a high carbohydrate/low fat meal. This study found that moderate-intensity walking induced greater postprandial glucose control compared to sedentary activity and it appears that moderate-intensity activity may be used to reduce postprandial glucose levels in women with GDM.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
