NCT ID NCT06688461
First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests whether 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve how muscles store sugar (glycogen) and use insulin in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will also check if HIIT reduces liver fat. The trial involves 36 overweight or obese adults aged 45-75 with type 2 diabetes. Participants will do HIIT three times per week, and their insulin sensitivity and liver fat will be measured before and after the program.

Active substance
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that HIIT is a better exercise strategy to improve blood sugar control and reduce liver fat in type 2 diabetes patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 36 participants. The results may not apply to all people with type 2 diabetes, and the exercise program may be too intense for some.
