Exercise and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes

October 24, 2012 updated by: Maastricht University Medical Center

Defining the Optimal Exercise Program to Improve Glycemic Control in Various Stages of Type 2 Diabetes.

Hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for the development of diabetic complications in type 2 diabetes. Exercise improves glycemic control, however, the role of exercise characteristics (e.g. intensity, type of exercise, timing, frequency) remains to be elucidated.

This study aims to assess the effect of several exercise characteristics on hyperglycemia in various subgroups of type 2 diabetes patiënts.
