ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different exercise programs on people with prediabetes, a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered diabetes. The trial compares "tele-exercise," where participants exercise at home using a heart rate monitor, with a "hospital-based exercise" program that takes place under supervision in a hospital setting. Both groups will engage in aerobic exercises, like walking, for 30 minutes a day, five days a week over three weeks. There is also a control group that will do the same exercises at home without any monitoring.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be between 18 and 80 years old and have been diagnosed with prediabetes based on specific blood sugar tests. They should not be doing a lot of exercise already or using insulin or diabetes medications. This trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants. If someone qualifies and joins, they can expect to follow a structured exercise plan and help researchers understand how different exercise environments might affect their health, including their fitness, blood sugar control, and overall well-being.
