Older adults with type 2 diabetes: a clinical research article examining whether higher sarcopenia risk predicts larger post-meal glucose swings, and why muscle loss might matter for glucose control.
Key Takeaways
- Older adults with type 2 diabetes and higher SARC-F scores had substantially larger postprandial glucose excursions compared with lower-risk peers.
- Each one-point increase in SARC-F score was associated with an adjusted 10.2 mg/dL higher postprandial glucose rise after accounting for confounders.
- Addressing low muscle mass through resistance training and age-appropriate treatment may help restore post-meal glucose disposal and improve glycemic control.
