Walking for diabetes: a downhill aerobic exercise study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if downhill walking on a treadmill can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. If you have stable diabetes and can walk on a treadmill, this might be a good option for you.
