HIIT can reduce blood sugar

HIIT regimens lasting less than 12 weeks can reduce blood sugar. According to a review of 50 research, HIIT improves insulin resistance more than traditional continuous exercise while simultaneously lowering blood sugar levels.

This evidence suggests that those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes may benefit significantly from high-intensity exercise. In fact, a few studies conducted particularly on people with type 2 diabetes have shown how efficient HIIT is at lowering blood sugar. According to one 2015 research, people with type 2 diabetes had greater control over their insulin levels and increased pancreatic function after 8 weeks of HIIT. Studies on healthy adults suggest that HIIT may be even more effective in improving insulin resistance than traditional continuous exercise.
