Why the study?
Does a low-energy diet or exercise training improve cardiovascular function in asymptomatic working-age adults with type 2 diabetes?
Does a low-energy diet or exercise training improve cardiovascular function in asymptomatic working-age adults with type 2 diabetes?
In asymptomatic adults with type 2 diabetes, exercise training improves diastolic function, whereas a low-energy diet does not, despite improving other cardiovascular and glycemic parameters.

Supports prioritizing exercise over diet alone for diastolic function in T2D; extends evidence on differential CV responses to lifestyle interventions.
In asymptomatic working-age adults with T2D, exercise training improved diastolic function. Despite beneficial effects of weight loss on glycemic control, concentric LV remodeling, and aortic stiffness, a low-energy MRP did not improve diastolic function.
