Effect of Application of Treadmill Training on Metabolic Control and Vitamin D Level in Saudi Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

What Was Tested

This controlled clinical trial looks at Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc.

The present study is aimed at elucidating the effect of exercise on modulation of metabolic status and vitamin D level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Why It Was Studied

Diabetes mellitus type 2 and vitamin D deficiency are both prevalent in the Saudi Arabia.

Vitamin D deficiency treatment with supplements carries a risk of intoxication.

Who Took Part

The abstract describes 110 patients taking part.

PubMed indexes the participants as adults and middle-aged adults, both men and women.

A sum of 110 type 2 diabetic patients were voluntarily enrolled for the present investigation by dividing them into two separate groups (55 individuals for each group), the diabetic study group and diabetic control group.

How the Study Was Run

The diabetic study group was engaged in the training program using treadmill exercise.

Laboratory parameters were monitored before and after the training program.

What Was Measured

PubMed files the paper under topics including Blood Glucose, Computational Biology, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Exercise, Exercise Therapy, Glycated Hemoglobin and Insulin Resistance.
