Sitting by a window may improve blood sugar levels for type 2 diabetes

New Scientist - Space - Thu, 18/12/2025 - 18:00
Our cells follow 24-hour circadian rhythms that regulate our blood sugar levels and are heavily influenced by light exposure. Scientists have harnessed this to show that just sitting by a window improves blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes
