Here are my top strategies for better glucose control during the holidays: Walk for 10–15

Well SupportedWalking after meals and multiple times per day can be beneficial for blood sugar regulation.

Partially SupportedShort, intense or moderate bouts of activity ('exercise snacks') between meals recruit muscle and increase GLUT4 translocation, improving glucose disposal.

Partially SupportedLight activity after eating increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake and reduces post-prandial glucose excursions by up to 40%.

Partially SupportedStarting meals with protein, fat, and fiber slows gastric emptying and the rate of carbohydrate absorption, reducing post-meal glucose peak height and glycemic variability.
