Walking for 10 minutes right after eating lowers blood sugar just as much as walking for 30 minutes starting half an hour after eating.
See the technical phrasing
A 10-minute walk performed immediately after a meal reduces postprandial blood glucose to the same extent as a 30-minute walk performed at least 30 minutes after a meal.
When you walk after eating, your leg muscles contract and pull glucose out of your blood without needing insulin, which lowers blood sugar just as much as a longer walk that starts later.
