Summary
This study tested whether neuro-myo-electrical stimulation (NMES) — a method that uses electrical pulses to make muscles contract — could improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. Eighteen adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight received NMES on their thigh muscles in a single session and then daily for 6 days. The goal was to see if NMES could serve as an alternative to physical activity for those unable to exercise. The study measured insulin sensitivity using a gold-standard clamp technique.
