Study Summary

This trial will investigate if heat exposure improves metabolic functions in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which could help reduce their risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for men and women aged 45-75 with type 2 diabetes diagnosed at least a year ago, who have been on stable medication for the past 12 weeks. It's not suitable for those with severe heart, kidney or lung diseases, very high obesity (Class 3), uncontrolled hypertension, serious nerve or eye damage from diabetes, those using insulin therapy, or with very high blood fat or cholesterol levels.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is exploring whether sitting in hot water can improve heart health and sugar metabolism in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will undergo heat therapy sessions over a period of 12 weeks to see if it helps manage fatty acids after eating, improves insulin sensitivity and benefits the lining of their blood vessels.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include discomfort due to heat exposure such as sweating or dizziness. Long-term effects are unknown but could involve changes in skin condition due to frequent hot water immersion.
