This study is testing whether short bursts of high-intensity exercise (called interval training) works better than standard moderate-intensity exercise for managing type 2 diabetes. You would be randomly assigned to either follow regular exercise guidelines or try the shorter, more intense workout approach. Both groups will track their progress over 6 months with simple measurements like weight, blood sugar control, and how much you're exercising.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to fit exercise into their busy lives. This trial wants to see if shorter, more intense workouts might be easier to stick with and more effective at controlling blood sugar than longer, moderate-intensity sessions.
You will meet with Dr. Fernando during your regular diabetes appointments over 6 months, with check-ins at 3 months and 6 months. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll either follow standard exercise guidelines or try short, intense interval workouts at a location of your choice (home, gym, or outside). You'll keep a simple log of the days you exercise, and at each visit, the team will check your weight, blood pressure, blood sugar control, and review your exercise log.
