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 amount of glucose (sugar) your liver produces, especially in people with type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver. By comparing how your body responds to exercise with how a healthy person's body responds, the study aims to learn whether exercise could be a better way to help control blood sugar and reduce liver fat.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle with blood sugar control and fatty liver disease, which can lead to serious health problems. Understanding exactly how exercise affects the liver's glucose production could help doctors create better treatment plans that don't rely solely on medications.

You will visit the research center several times for exercise testing and blood work. During your visits, you'll perform controlled exercise while researchers measure how your liver produces glucose and monitor your blood sugar response. The study involves non-invasive tests like imaging scans and blood draws to measure liver fat and glucose levels. The entire study takes place over several weeks, with specific visits spaced apart to allow researchers to measure how your body responds to exercise.
