Sponsor's own description
This study aims to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), aerobic and resistance exercise, and health literacy intervention on fasting glucose levels and quality of life in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Given the growing prevalence of T2DM in aging populations and the associated health risks, identifying effective interventions is crucial. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) will include participants aged 60+ with T2DM, randomly assigned to one of three groups: NMES, structured exercise, or a health literacy control group. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and follow-up (30, 60, and 90 days). The primary outcome is fasting glucose levels, while secondary outcomes include adherence, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life. This study seeks to provide evidence on alternative approaches for glycemic control in elderly individuals, particularly those with limited physical activity capacity.
