Initiation Of Insulin Therapy In Patients With T2D May Be Associated With An Increase In Sedentary Behavior, Increases In Weight,

Sitting times increased while energy expenditure decreased in patients with lower BMIs vs patients with higher BMIs. The researchers determined there was a positive relationship between changes in weight and waist circumference changes vs sitting time. “This suggests that increased sedentary behavior, especially in nonobese T2D patients, may contribute to body weight gain after initiation of insulin therapy,” the researchers concluded. “[S]edentary behavior assessment and intervention may be needed in T2D management.” http://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/type-2-diabetes/type-2-diabetes-insulin-initiation/article/681005/ How does insulin make one want to sit around more?????
