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.

This study looks at how diabetes may affect the heart's ability to relax and pump blood, and whether this relates to early kidney damage. If you have type 2 diabetes, or if you are healthy, you may be able to help by joining.
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 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 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.
