Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how exercise affects the bacteria living in your gut and how this might help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar. This study will compare people who exercise regularly for 12 weeks with people who stay sedentary, and will measure changes in their gut bacteria composition. The study includes three groups: people with normal blood sugar, people with prediabetes, and people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes affects millions of people worldwide and causes serious health problems. Recent research suggests that the bacteria in our gut play an important role in diabetes development, and that exercise might improve these bacteria and help control blood sugar better than we currently understand.

If you're selected for the exercise group, you'll participate in regular structured exercise for 12 weeks, then stop exercising for 4 weeks while researchers monitor changes. If you're in the comparison group, you'll maintain your normal sedentary routine for 16 weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will collect samples (likely stool and blood) to analyze your gut bacteria and measure your blood sugar control.
