Exercise and Protein Use in Type 2 Diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise and protein work together in people aged 65 and older, either with or without type 2 diabetes. You will be asked to exercise and may receive a protein supplement to see how your body uses protein.
