One considers Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on sequences of transitive graphs. It is shown that the system exhibits a cut-off for values of the absolute temperature \(T\) larger than the unity. When \(T=1\), one can obtain the order \(n^{3/2}\) of the mixing time, and the meta-stability of the system is analyzed when \(T\) is small. In this case, it is shown that the mixing time is logarithmic
