Exercise program aims to fight diabetes and muscle decline in older adults

NCT ID NCT07398495

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week multimodal exercise program—combining supervised training, home exercises, and digital support—can improve muscle function, physical performance, and blood sugar control in adults aged 45 to 85 with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, walking speed, and HbA1c levels. The goal is to find a practical, non-drug approach to help this population stay stronger and healthier.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help older adults with diabetes maintain muscle strength and better control their blood sugar.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with no blinding or placebo, so results may be modest or not generalizable. Participants must be able to exercise safely.
