Exercise and muscle health in older adults with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects muscle cell function in older adults with type 2 diabetes and frailty. It may help find ways to improve strength and independence in aging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 65 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes and take metformin.
- You have been diagnosed as frail or robust (not pre-frail).
- You are not currently doing a resistance exercise program.

This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study looks at how muscles respond to exercise in people aged 60 to 85. You will be asked to do some exercises so researchers can measure how your nerves and muscles work together.
This study tests if combining electrical muscle stimulation with exercise can help older adults with type 2 diabetes living in nursing homes better manage their blood sugar. Participants will receive supervised sessions over several weeks.
This trial tests how exercise affects muscle health in people aged 60 or older with multiple sclerosis. It may help you understand if a structured exercise program can improve your strength and mobility.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
