Assess weight loss or exercise to improve heart function in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether slimming (weight loss) or training (exercise) can improve early, “hidden” heart and blood-vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help find a safer way to protect the heart by improving risk factors.
