ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new type of exercise program called high intensity body-weight circuit training (HIBC) to see how it might help middle-aged people manage their type 2 diabetes. The study aims to find out if this type of training can improve health markers, body composition (like muscle and fat levels), and overall fitness in those recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. With type 2 diabetes becoming more common, the results could provide a valuable exercise option for better management of this condition.

To participate, you need to be between the ages of 18 and 65, have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the past year, and have certain blood sugar levels (an HbA1c of 6% or higher). You should not be on any insulin treatments or medications for diabetes, and you should not have been involved in a physical exercise program in the last six months. If you join the study, you can expect to engage in this exercise program and contribute to important research that could help many others with type 2 diabetes. It's also important to know that people with certain heart, lung, or kidney issues, or those who smoke, cannot participate in this trial for safety reasons.
