In modern society, people are spending most of their waking time in sedentary behaviour, which is primarily prolonged sitting. Prolonged sedentary time is associated with increased postprandial glucose, lipid and insulin resistance. In contrast, frequent interruption of prolonged sitting with short light activity break reduces postprandial glucose, triglyceride cholesterol and insulin resistance. However, how frequently patients should interrupt sitting, potential longer-term effect of short activity break on reduction of postprandial glucose, triglyceride cholesterol and insulin resistance, and the knowledge, beliefs and experiences on the use of technology to decrease sedentary behaviour and improve glycaemic control are not investigated in type-2 diabetic patients. Therefore, it would be relevant to investigate this to prove the therapeutic role of frequent short activity break in sedentary time in the management of type-2 diabetes.
