“…Consistent with our finding, studies assessing the overall effect of exercise (of any type) on glucose measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in those living with type 2 diabetes have also shown no acute effect on fasting glucose [9,11]. In contrast, previous studies have shown clearly that post-prandial glucose is substantially impacted by a singlebout of exercise [10,12,13].…”

Aims In many low-income countries, fasting glucose is the primary measure of glycaemic control used for treatment titration, as HbA1c is often unavailable or unaffordable. Many patients in these countries walk long distances to the clinic, but the impact of walking on fasting glucose in type 2 diabetes is unknown. We aimed to determine whether this prolonged walking affects the reliability of fasting plasma glucose as a measure of glycaemic control. Methods In a randomised crossover trial, the change in glucose from baseline in the fasting state was compared between walking on a treadmill at a predetermined speed of 4.5 km/hour for 1 hour and not walking (resting) in people with type 2 diabetes. The pre-specified primary outcome was glucose at 1 and 2 hours. Results 45 participants were enrolled and all completed both visits. 21/45 (46.7%) were female, and the median age was 51. Glucose during and after walking was similar to glucose while at rest; glucose difference (walking minus rest) was -0.15 (95% CI: -0.55, 0.26) and -0.10 (95% CI: -0.50, 0.31) mmol/L at 1 and 2 hours respectively, p>0.4 for both). Conclusions Fasting plasma glucose is not meaningfully affected by prolonged walking in participants with type 2 diabetes; therefore, the reliability of fasting glucose for monitoring glycaemic burden is unlikely to be altered in patients who walk to the clinic.

“…A growing body of research suggests that high levels of physical activity (PA) may have a protective effect on various health conditions including but not limited to overweight and obesity [6], coronary heart disease (CHD) [7,8], type 2 diabetes mellitus [9,10], hypertension [11,12], and hyperglycemia [13,14]. In addition, several longitudinal studies have become available that examine the association between PA and new onset of NCDs [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Background: A growing body of studies that investigated the longitudinal association between physical activity (PA) and the outcome of incident obesity, coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes and hypertension has become available in recent years. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to provide an update on the association between PA and onset of obesity, CHD, diabetes and hypertension in individuals aged ≥18 years who were free of the respective conditions at baseline. Methods: We systematically searched OVID, Pubmed, and Web of Science databases for pertinent literature published between January of 2012 and February of 2019. To ensure that conclusions are based on high quality evidence, we only included longitudinal studies conducted in samples of ≥500 participants and with ≥5 years of follow-up. Result: The search yielded 8929 records of which 26 were included in this review. Three studies were conducted on the outcome of incident obesity, eight on incident CHD, nine on incident diabetes, four on incident hypertension, one on the outcome of both diabetes and hypertension, and one on the outcome of CHD, diabetes and hypertension. Overall, there was an association between PA and lower risk of incident obesity, CHD and diabetes, but not hypertension. Higher levels or amount of PA were associated with a reduced risk of new onset of the respective diseases in 20 studies (77%). Whereas four studies reported an elevated risk of incidence of diseases with lower PA levels (15%). PA was not associated with incidence of diseases in two studies (8%).

The transportation sector contributes significantly to global warming, as well as to urban fabric problems such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, noise pollution, and air pollution. A shift from fossil fuels to renewable sources and from motorized to non-motorized modes is now considered essential to create sustainable communities. Walking is a sustainable transport mode and several studies have focused on factors affecting it, including travel behavior and sociodemographics. In this study, we conduct a systematic literature review to identify and record walking benefits, the financial incentives that encourage travelers to walk, and applications that support it. Financial incentives are found to have short-term effects, and their success depends on the level and structure of the incentives as well as the characteristics of the participants. In addition, non-financial incentives, such as improving infrastructure and pedestrian safety, or providing information and education about the benefits of walking, may also promote it as a main mode of transport.
