Apple Health launched two studies in 2019, the “Apple Heart and Movement Study” and the “Apple Women’s Health Study”. To celebrate today’s World Diabetes Day, it shared information about blood sugar and related research results on patients with diabetes.
These scientific research results help diabetic patients gain a deeper understanding of the impact of different foods, activities, and life stressors on blood sugar. In addition, combined with Apple Watch data on activity, step count, sleep, and menstrual cycles, it provides scientists with new insights.
Attached are some results of Apple’s “Apple Heart and Movement Study” and “Apple Women’s Health Study” as follows:
Participants who increased their daily physical activity, or increased the number of steps they walked each day, increased the average percentage of time each day their blood glucose was maintained in the target range of 70-180 mg/dL.
People who exercised for more than 30 minutes a day were within the target range of 70-180 mg/dL 78.8% of the time.
Female participants walked 10,000 steps per day and were seen staying within the 70-180 mg/dL target range most of the time; compared to 76.4% of male participants.
An analysis of 1982 menstrual cycles revealed a slight increase in the duration that blood glucose levels remained within the ideal range of 70-180 mg/dL during the follicular phase. It is characterized by low progesterone levels (average 68.5% of the day) and an average luteal phase of 66.8% of ideal blood sugar.
Participants also spent slightly less time outside their blood glucose target range during the follicular phase (28.9%) compared with the luteal phase (30.9%).THIS IS A SPONSOR PROMOTION: >>>>>>>>>>>>>
