This trial looks at the relationship between how well cells process sugar and fats, and the development of type 2 diabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Type 2 Diabetes who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 40 kg/m², an HbA1C level below 8.5%, and lead a sedentary lifestyle. It's not open to those currently on diabetes medication or smokers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how exercise affects the mitochondria in muscle cells of people with Type 2 Diabetes, which could influence insulin resistance and blood sugar levels, potentially leading to new treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention being studied is exercise, potential side effects may include typical post-exercise symptoms such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or mild discomfort.
