Eccentric cycling for long-term diabetes control
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special type of cycling that works your leg muscles in a gentle way can improve blood sugar control and long-term health in men with type 2 diabetes. It will help you get more active in a safe, supervised setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 30 and 60 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes, with your HbA1c between 6% and 8% (a measure of your average blood sugar).
- You are at least 155 cm (about 5 feet 1 inch) tall, so the bike fits you well.
- You have not done weight training or resistance exercise in the past 3 months.
- You are not very active — you get 60 minutes or less of moderate or vigorous exercise each week.
- You do not use insulin injections, and you do not have any serious health problems (like foot ulcers, kidney disease, or heart disease) that would make exercise risky.
