Type 2 diabetes study: Afternoon exercise tied to blood sugar improvements, Boston researchers find

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:31:05 GMT

Those with type 2 diabetes who are planning out their exercise schedule should consider getting in a workout after lunch, according to a new study from Boston researchers.Type 2 diabetes patients who were physically active in the afternoon saw greater improvements in blood sugar levels than those who were most active at other times of day, the researchers from the Brigham and Joslin Diabetes Center recently found.“In this study, we show that adults with type 2 diabetes had the greatest improvement in glucose control when they were most active in the afternoon,” said Jingyi Qian, from the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at the Brigham.“We’ve known that physical activity is beneficial, but what our study adds is a new understanding that timing of activity may be important too,” Qian added.More than 37 million Americans have diabetes, and 90% to 95% of that population are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Mpox is down, but US cities could be at risk for summertime outbreaks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:31:05 GMT

The mpox health emergency has ended, but U.S. health officials are aiming to prevent a repeat of last year’s outbreaks.Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, infections exploded early in the summer of 2022 in the wake of Pride gatherings. More than 30,000 U.S. cases were reported last year, most of them spread during sexual contact between gay and bisexual men. About 40 people died.With Pride events planned across the country in the coming weeks, health officials and event organizers say they are optimistic that this year infections will be fewer and less severe. A bigger supply of vaccine, more people with immunity and readier access to a drug to treat mpox are among the reasons.But they also worry that people may think of mpox as last year’s problem.“Out of sight, out of mind,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who is advising the White House on its mpox response. “But we are beating the drum.”Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert to U.S. doc...
