ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a test called the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) to see how well it works for people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to check if this walking test is reliable and valid for measuring how well someone can walk and how their health is doing. Participants will first have their health information recorded and then take the ISWT and another walking test, with a break in between. A week later, they will come back to do the ISWT again to see if the results are consistent.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 65 and 74 years old, have a specific level of blood sugar control (measured by HbA1c between 6.5 and 11), and be able to walk on their own. Unfortunately, people with certain health issues, like uncontrolled diabetes or serious heart and lung conditions, as well as those who are pregnant or have severe problems with their muscles or nerves, will not be able to participate. This study is still in the planning stages and has not started recruiting participants yet.
