Exercise isnโt โoff limitsโ in people with T2 diabetes and foot ulcers
In our current @NIHRARCs MiFoot RCT, people with diabetic foot ulcers told us they were getting confused regarding exercise
They were getting mixed messages from HCPs
So we developed these practical recommendations

โข Screen risk first
โข Individualise prescriptions
โข Prioritise non-weight bearing exercise
โข Emphasise foot care + self-monitoring
Safe movement = better cardiometabolic outcomes.

Sleep and metabolism are tightly linked.
๐ ~7.3 hrs = optimal insulin sensitivity -oh dear ๐
๐ Too little sleep โ worse insulin resistance
๐ Too much sleep โ also harmful
๐ Weekend catch-up helps only if sleep-deprived (1โ2 hrs), but >2 hrs may backfire
Personalised sleep matters for metabolic health.
