Comparing two exercise programs for balance in older diabetics
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise programs to see which one better improves balance and walking in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Both programs are safe and may help you feel steadier and prevent falls.
