Summary
This pilot study tested whether a structured foot-ankle exercise program could help adults with type 2 diabetes manage nerve pain, stress, and quality of life, compared to walking or standard care. Over 12 weeks, 108 participants either did foot-ankle exercises, walked regularly, or received usual care. The main goal was to see if a larger trial is feasible, with early hints on whether these exercises might ease symptoms.
