Supplements for better heat control in type 2 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests two natural supplements (taurine and nitrate) to see if they can help your body handle heat better if you have type 2 diabetes. Participation involves taking supplements and having your temperature and sweating monitored during exercise in a warm environment.
