This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense bursts versus longer, moderate workouts—to see which better manages blood sugar in people without diabetes or with prediabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor for 11 days while doing the exercises.
This study compares two exercise programs (short bursts of intense activity vs. longer, steady exercise) to see which works better for people with prediabetes. It may help you prevent or manage diabetes through a structured fitness routine.
This study tests whether a special strength-training program, designed with changing exercise levels (periodization), can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control and overall fitness. It is a good option for adults with diabetes who are not currently in a regular exercise routine.
This study tests whether short bursts of intensive exercise (called high-intensity interval training) can help people who have successfully put their type 2 diabetes into remission maintain or improve their health. You would complete a supervised exercise program and researchers will see how it affects your body.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
This study tests a structured exercise program to see if it improves blood sugar control and overall fitness in middle-aged men with type 2 diabetes. If you qualify, you'll participate in regular exercise sessions led by professionals, which could help you manage your diabetes better.
