Exercise and HMB for older adults with diabetes and low muscle mass
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether exercise and a supplement called HMB (a protein building block) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes and low muscle mass improve their muscle strength and physical function. It aims to find a safe and effective way to keep you strong and independent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old
- You have type 2 diabetes
- You have low muscle mass (as measured by a standard test, such as a DXA scan)
- You are able to exercise and have no medical reason to avoid it
- You are not currently taking other muscle-building supplements

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a short exercise program that combines aerobic activity (like walking) with strength exercises to help older adults with diabetes and likely muscle loss. Participating may help you gain strength and better manage your diabetes.
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 tests whether taking HMB (a supplement) and vitamin D helps older adults keep their muscle while using semaglutide for weight loss. If you are starting semaglutide, this might help prevent muscle loss.
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.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called HMB can help improve muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function in adults with sarcopenia who have recently taken a break from activity. If you are eligible, you will help researchers learn if this supplement is a good addition to physical therapy.
This study looks at how exercise affects muscle cell function in older adults with type 2 diabetes and frailty. It may help find ways to improve strength and independence in aging.
