Ketone drink for exercise and heart health in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
