NCT ID NCT06895161
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing aerobic exercise at home with remote monitoring (tele-exercise) works as well as exercising in a hospital for people with prediabetes. 42 adults with prediabetes walked 30 minutes, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. One group exercised at home with a heart rate monitor and phone calls, another at the hospital under supervision, and a third at home with no monitoring. The study measured changes in blood sugar control and fitness.
