Home heat therapy for people with type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using heat therapy at home can improve health in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help people who already have stable diabetes treatment, but it is not for everyone, especially if certain heart, nerve, or vision problems are present.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 45 to 75 years old
- You have type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year
- Your diabetes medicines have been stable for at least 12 weeks
- You are not using insulin to control your diabetes
- You do not have very severe diabetes complications (like severe nerve damage or severe eye/retina problems)
