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 a hands-on technique that releases tension in your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs that controls breathing), combined with guided deep breathing exercises, can help you exercise better and sleep more soundly. If you have type 2 diabetes that is well controlled, you may be a good fit for this study. Half of participants will receive the diaphragm release technique plus breathing exercises, while the other half will receive breathing exercises alone.
Older adults with type 2 diabetes often struggle with exercise capacity and sleep quality, which can make managing their condition harder. This study explores whether this hands-on breathing technique might be a simple, non-medication way to help improve both of these important health areas.

You will be assigned to receive either the manual diaphragm release technique combined with deep breathing exercises, or deep breathing exercises alone. The study will track your exercise capacity and sleep quality over time to see if the technique helps. You'll need to attend sessions and follow the training instructions provided, with regular check-ins to monitor your progress and any changes in how you feel.
