This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether supervised resistance training—using elastic bands and progressive exercises—can help older adults with type 2 diabetes who have experienced age-related muscle loss (a condition called sarcopenia). The study compares people who receive the strength training program plus standard diabetes and nutrition care to people who receive standard care alone. Researchers want to see if the training helps rebuild muscle strength and mass, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of falls and other complications.
As people age, especially those managing type 2 diabetes, they often lose muscle mass and strength, which increases their risk of falls, disability, and early death. While strength training is known to help prevent and slow this muscle loss, there are very few studies testing how well it works specifically for older adults with diabetes.

If you join the intervention group, you will attend supervised strength training sessions twice a week for 12 weeks, using elastic bands to work your arms and legs with gradually increasing intensity. You will also receive standard diabetes care, nutrition guidance, and education about managing muscle loss. The control group will receive the same standard care and education, but without the supervised strength training program. All participants will be monitored to see how the program affects muscle strength, muscle mass, physical function, and overall health.
