Study how fitness and insulin resistance relate to diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You do less than 1 hour of physical activity per week
- Your BMI is between 25 and 40
- You may have type 2 diabetes or not—either can qualify
- You must not have known cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) disease
- Your blood pressure must not be very high (systolic over 150 or diastolic over 110)
- You must not have conditions or factors that prevent safe testing, like serious lung disease, peripheral nerve problems, or major exercise limits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how tiny particles called extracellular vesicles affect how your body uses insulin, and whether exercise can make a difference. It is for people with type 2 diabetes (or normal blood sugar) who are not very active and have been on diabetes medication for a long time.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study looks at differences in body fat to understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes. You may be asked for blood tests and health information to see if your diabetes risk and body fat patterns are linked.
This study looks at why people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes may feel unusually tired during activities. You may be asked to do exercise testing and answer questions to help researchers understand the body changes behind fatigue.
This study looks at how exercise affects gut bacteria in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help explain why physical activity improves diabetes control.
This study examines how excess weight affects how insulin works in small blood vessels and overall fitness in people with Type 1 Diabetes. Researchers want to understand if obesity makes diabetes management harder and whether this knowledge can help future treatments.
