Exercise and HMB for older adults with diabetes and low muscle
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercise and/or a nutritional supplement called HMB (hydroxy methylbutyrate) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes and low muscle mass build muscle and improve their health. It may help you feel stronger and more active.

This study tests a short, combined exercise program (mixing cardio and strength training) for people 60+ with type 2 diabetes who have signs of muscle loss. The goal is to see if this exercise approach can improve strength, physical function, and overall health.
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 and vitamin D can help older adults with type 2 diabetes keep their muscle mass while they start taking semaglutide for weight loss. It may help prevent muscle loss during weight management.
This study tests whether a daily supplement called HMB (a natural substance found in some foods) can help improve walking and strength in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) who have recently spent time in bed. If you are between 50 and 99 years old and have weak muscles, this trial might help you regain function.
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 compares a traditional Chinese medicine formula with HMB (a muscle-building supplement) to see which helps preserve muscle strength and bone health in adults aged 65 and older who are starting to show signs of frailty. Both treatments aim to help you stay stronger and more active as you age.
