Acute Effects of Standing on Glycemia in Prediabetic Adults: A Pilot Study
The study is a crossover, pilot trial examining the acute effects of standing on blood sugar
in prediabetic, working adults. Participants will complete oral glucose tolerance testing,
once while sitting and once while standing. They will also wear a continuous blood sugar
monitor once while sitting at their desk for a week and once while using their desk as a
sit-stand desk with a goal of standing intermittently for at least half of the work day.
Physical activity levels will be measured with an accelerometer. The primary study
hypothesis is that blood sugar will differ between the sitting and standing conditions for
each of the tests performed.
