Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health challenge characterized by insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. Postprandial hyperglycemia and glycemic variability are key contributors to diabetes complications, yet many patients struggle to meet traditional exercise recommendations due to time constraints or physical limitations. This study explores the efficacy of “exercise snacks”—brief, intermittent bouts of vigorous physical activity—as a feasible alternative for improving glucose regulation in real-world settings.
