Exercise and ultrasound for cholesterol in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mix of intense interval exercise and a non-surgical ultrasound treatment can improve cholesterol and fat levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help lower your risk of heart problems.

This study tests whether adding aerobic and resistance exercise to your routine helps manage type 2 diabetes better when you already take metformin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and possibly vitamin D. You would be assigned either to an exercise program or to continue your usual care.
This study tests whether a series of ultrasound treatments can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to stay on your current diabetes pills and avoid certain other medicines during the study.
This trial tests if ultrasound cavitation—a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to break down fat—can help lower insulin resistance in women with central obesity (fat around the belly). It's a possible option if you have insulin resistance and are not taking diabetes medication.
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
This study looks at how a single session of exercise affects the body's natural sugar production in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. It may help us find better ways to control blood sugar and treat fatty liver.
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.
