Exercise training & type 2 diabetes - Research study

posted 09 August 2016 | Staff Announcement (staff)

What is the best exercise for type 2 diabetes? We are inviting participants with type 2 diabetes to take part in a FREE supervised training study.

Regular exercise is key in managing high blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes causing your body to be more sensitive to insulin, becoming more efficient.

We are investigating the effectiveness of two modes of exercise on general health outcomes (fitness and body composition) and also those related to Type 2 Diabetes (glucose tolerance and immune function).

We are recruiting male individuals who are:

  • Aged between 18-60 years old
  • Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
  • BMI greater than 27
  • Currently sedentary or lightly active

Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply upon further screening.
This study may not suitable to individuals who are smokers.
