Breathing muscle training for young adults with type 1 diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can make your breathing muscles stronger, which might improve blood sugar control and overall health for people with type 1 diabetes. You would use the device at home and visit the study team for checkups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks whether a resistance (strength) exercise program changes blood sugar levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes. You may be asked to do supervised lab-based exercise sessions near the University of Alberta.
This study tests whether a breathing device training program can improve breathing and blood pressure. It may help people who have higher blood pressure and may feel out of breath, especially those who have weight-related breathing strain.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises that alternate between low and high oxygen levels can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. Researchers want to see if short or longer courses of this training improve blood sugar control and overall health.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise program (strengthening your breathing muscles) can improve heart, kidney, and blood vessel health in young people with type 2 diabetes. It is a 12-week home-based program that might help your body work better.
This study helps adults with type 1 diabetes who don't exercise much build a safe and lasting exercise routine. You'll learn how to start moving more while managing your insulin and blood sugar levels.
This study looks at whether adults with type 2 diabetes have weaker breathing muscles (a condition called respiratory muscle sarcopenia). They will measure your breathing and other muscles to see how diabetes affects them.
