Taking a ?walking break? every half an hour could reduce the risk of diabetes in millions of office workers.
Walking for less than two minutes before sitting down again was more effective than a brisk 30-minute stroll before work.
Volunteers who regularly wandered around for just one minute and 40 seconds had lower blood sugar and insulin levels, according to a report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Raised sugar and insulin readings are warning signs that type two diabetes, a major risk factor for heart disease and strokes, could be setting in.
