Strength training for older adults with diabetes and muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes, and your last HbA1c was between 7.0% and 8.5% (moderate blood sugar control).
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle mass and strength).
- You do not have any recent or severe muscle, joint, or nerve pain that limits movement.
- You do not have serious heart or kidney disease, or a history of stroke with weakness.
