Glucose Disposal Timing

Meaning

Glucose Disposal Timing refers to the circadian-regulated efficiency and speed with which the body is able to clear glucose from the bloodstream and transport it into peripheral tissues, such as muscle and fat, for storage or energy use. This process is highly time-dependent, with insulin sensitivity typically peaking in the morning and declining significantly in the evening and night. Optimal timing is a critical component of metabolic health and glycemic control. Consuming the majority of daily calories, especially carbohydrates, during the period of peak sensitivity is essential for preventing metabolic dysregulation.
