Diabetes study tests if talking about exercise gets people moving
NCT ID NCT07583355
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether counseling sessions can help people with type 2 diabetes become more physically active and sit less. Researchers will compare standard care with informational sessions on exercise benefits, with or without practical guidance from a kinesiologist. The goal is to see if these sessions lead to lasting changes in activity levels and quality of life over 6 to 12 months.
