Letter from the Editor
Lately I have been hearing a lot of commercials for a weight loss program called Noom. According to their sponsor ad on our local NPR station, they offer success through small consistent goals, high touch and constant motivation. They accomplish this with the use of texts, videos and audios that are fashioned to the individual they are helping.
This high touch method can also work for reducing the risk of MI, stroke or unstable angina, as seen by the results of a study that Nour Salhab, Pharm.D. Candidate, USF College of Pharmacy, prepared for us.

Did You Know: What is the Best Time for Patients with Type 1 to Exercise?
We often advise people with diabetes to engage in physical activity, but what is the best time to exercise? This study reports the difference in the morning (in fasting condition) vs. afternoon resistance training. The study was a randomized, open-label, cross-over design where 12 participants with type 1 diabetes, without obesity or complications present, and recreationally active individuals were enrolled. Hyperglycemia was found to be more common after the morning exercise session in a fasting condition and was higher in the first 6 hours post-exercise compared to the afternoon session. In addition to that, there was no significant difference in the overall changes in blood glucose for those 2 sessions. Glucose levels should be monitored closely for individuals with diabetes, especially at the start or change of a new exercise routine, and It might be a good idea for those who suffer from hyperglycemia during and after resistance exercise to consider resistance exercising later in the day as it seems to cause less hyperglycemia.
