Checking breathing muscle strength in adults with type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 looks at how aging affects the muscles used for breathing. It aims to understand breathing muscle weakness in people 65 and older, which could help improve care and daily life.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in older people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. It aims to find out if there is a link so that doctors can spot muscle problems earlier and help patients stay stronger.
This study looks at how muscle loss and weakness are connected to strength in your arms, legs, and breathing muscles. It may help find ways to keep older adults stronger and healthier.
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.
This study looks at whether losing muscle (sarcopenia) makes breathing harder for people with severe asthma. It may help doctors understand why some people with asthma feel more short of breath.
This study tests whether a special exercise program can help middle-aged and older adults who have both type 2 diabetes and muscle loss. It aims to improve muscle strength, balance, and overall health.
