Manual breathing technique for exercise and sleep in diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a hands-on breathing technique to see if it can improve exercise capacity and sleep quality in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you breathe better, move more easily, and sleep more soundly.

This study is testing a gentle hands-on technique for the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) to see if it can improve breathing in older women with type 2 diabetes. It may help if you have mild breathing problems and meet the health criteria listed.
This study looks at whether adults with type 2 diabetes have weaker breathing muscles (a condition called respiratory muscle sarcopenia). They will measure your breathing and other muscles to see how diabetes affects them.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can make your breathing muscles stronger, which might improve blood sugar control and overall health for people with type 1 diabetes. You would use the device at home and visit the study team for checkups.
This study compares two types of breathing and core strengthening exercises to see which helps people with type 2 diabetes more. You would do either core exercises with diaphragmatic breathing or core exercises with pilates breathing.
This study compares three different exercise methods to see which one best strengthens your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) and improves your overall breathing. If you are a healthy young adult, you might help find better ways to improve breathing fitness.
