About
The purpose of this study is to assess whether 4-months of interval-walking exercise training improves glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effects of interval-walking training will be compared to continuous-walking exercise in a randomised, controlled trial design. Changes in glycemic control will be examined using oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) with stable isotope methodology. In addition, insulin sensitivity and secretion will be examined using glucose clamps combined with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
