Breathing exercises for heart and kidney health in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise program (strengthening your breathing muscles) can improve heart, kidney, and blood vessel health in young people with type 2 diabetes. It is a 12-week home-based program that might help your body work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether training your breathing muscles can improve health in people with chronic kidney disease (stage 3–4). It may help how your body handles daily activity and circulation-related measurements, compared with usual care.
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 trial combines breathing biofeedback with strength training to help people with chronic kidney disease. It tests whether adding breathing exercises to standard strengthening improves health and well-being.
This study tests whether training with a simple breathing device (incentive spirometer) can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have muscle weakness. The goal is to see if it improves strength, breathing, and overall health.
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 looks at how blood flow changes (hemodynamics) affect your heart and lung fitness (cardiopulmonary fitness) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand how diabetes affects the heart and lungs.
