Study Summary

This trial found that peripheral heating improved glucose tolerance in people with type 2 diabetes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged between 18 and 80 years who are undergoing a glucose tolerance test. The specific details about other eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants would be screened to ensure they're suitable for the study.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is investigating how applying heat to the body's extremities (peripheral heating) affects blood sugar control compared to a sham procedure, which is like a placebo where no real heating is applied.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since peripheral heating and sham procedures are non-invasive, side effects may be minimal. However, potential discomfort or skin irritation at the site of heating could occur.
