Insulin Sensitivity Timing

Meaning

Insulin Sensitivity Timing is a chronobiological strategy that focuses on coordinating the consumption of carbohydrate-containing meals with the natural peaks of peripheral tissue insulin sensitivity throughout the 24-hour cycle. This clinical approach aims to maximize glucose uptake and utilization by muscle and adipose tissue, minimizing the time spent in a state of postprandial hyperglycemia and reducing pancreatic stress. Optimizing this timing is a key factor in maintaining metabolic flexibility and preventing insulin resistance.
