Study Process
- Screening & enrolment - We recruit 128 adults (18-60 years) who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the last 12 months and have never taken diabetes medication.
- Baseline assessments - Before starting, all participants undergo blood tests (glucose, insulin, inflammatory markers), a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is placed on their arm, and they wear an activity tracker for 7 days.
Randomization - Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups (32 people each):
Control - usual care, no exercise
Cycling - 40 min of moderate-intensity cycling per day
Rowing (HIIT) - 24 min of high-intensity interval rowing per day
Combined - 20 min rowing + 20 min cycling (50 min total)
- Intervention - All exercise groups train once a day for 7 consecutive days at the research centre under supervision. Heart rate is monitored throughout.
- Continuous monitoring - The CGM records glucose levels every 15 minutes during the whole 7-day period. Activity trackers record physical activity outside the exercise sessions.
- Post-intervention assessments - On day 8, we repeat all blood tests, measure inflammatory markers again, and collect the CGM data.
9. Data analysis - We compare changes in blood sugar fluctuations and inflammation between the groups, and use statistical models to find which exercise regimen works best and for whom (e.g., younger vs. older patients).
The entire study takes about 9 days per participant (1 week of exercise + 2 days of testing).

inflammatory cytokines
Časové okno: 1.4 weeks

IL-6 (Interleukin-6) - The first muscle factor induced by exercise, is the core molecule connecting exercise to systemic anti-inflammatory effects. IL-6 produced by skeletal muscles during exercise inhibits TNF-α and stimulates IL-1ra to exert anti-inflammatory effects. Different exercise patterns have varying regulations on IL-6, with both aerobic training and combined training significantly reducing IL-6 levels in T2DM patients. TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha) - A key pro-inflammatory factor in insulin resistance in T2DM. Exercise improves insulin sensitivity by inhibiting the production of TNF-α. Meta-analyses confirm that exercise significantly reduces TNF-α levels in T2DM patients. hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive protein) - A classic marker of systemic low-grade inflammation, identified as a key baseline biomarker to distinguish well-controlled T2DM patients from healthy adults. |

Postprandial Blood Glucose Fluctuations
Časové okno: 1.4 weeks
|
Calculate the average blood glucose values and blood glucose fluctuation coefficients (CONGA) for 2-4 hours after breakfast, lunch, and dinner by using CGM, comparing the differences before and after intervention and between groups.
CONGA is defined as the standard deviation of the differences between consecutive blood glucose measurements, reflecting the amplitude of blood glucose fluctuations.
