Summary
This study looked at whether combining clinical Pilates, nurse coaching, and peer group work could improve general health in older adults with type 2 diabetes. 48 people aged 65 and older were split into four groups and followed for 12 weeks. Researchers measured things like anxiety, depression, balance, strength, and blood sugar control. The goal was to see if this team-based approach could help seniors manage their diabetes better.
