Does a 3-month exercise intervention improve endothelial function and reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes?
A 3-month exercise program in patients with type 2 diabetes yields sustained improvements in endothelial function and reductions in cardiovascular events for up to 24 months.
Exercise improves endothelial dysfunction independently of glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes. The beneficial effects of 3-month exercise to reduce cardiovascular events persist for 24 months.
