Exercise and Activity Guidance in Older Adults With Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes

In brief

The purpose of the project is to better understand how exercise and education will help mobility and health in older adults with diabetes. The investigators are trying to learn what type of exercises and classes are needed to help older adults stay active. This knowledge will eventually prove useful in helping patients and doctors understand what is needed to keep older adults with Type 2 diabetes as healthy as possible.
