Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial studies the effect of exercise and a vitamin-like supplement on muscle health and insulin resistance in adult survivors of childhood cancer with prediabetes. Participants will either do regular home exercise or do the same exercise while also taking a supplement similar to vitamin B3. The goal is to see if these interventions can improve their muscle health and how their body handles insulin.
