Key result
A 5-month exercise program combining aerobic and resistance training decreased blood glucose levels but did not change pre-exercise blood pressure in a 68-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to examine the effect of a 5-month exercise intervention on glucose and hypertension levels in a patient with diabetes mellitus.

Does a 5-month exercise program improve blood glucose and blood pressure in a 68-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus type II and hypertension?
A 5-month exercise program combining aerobic and resistance training improved blood glucose regulation, physical condition, and quality of life in a 68-year-old woman with type II diabetes and hypertension.
May lower glucose in older type 2 diabetes; leaves open blood pressure effects and requires controlled trials before practice change.
Summary Introduction : The aim of the present case study was to examine the effect of a 5-month exercise intervention on glucose and hypertension level of a patient with diabetes mellitus. Material and methods : A 68-year-old woman (weight 70 kg, height 163 cm) with diabetes mellitus and hypertension performed a 5-month exercise program (two sessions per week with each session lasting 45 min). Results : A decrease of blood glucose across time was observed, except for after exercise. No change was observed in pre-exercise levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure across time. Conclusions : In summary, the present case study showed that an adult woman with diabetes mellitus and hypertension benefited from a 5-month exercise program combining aerobic and resistance training in terms of blood glucose regulation, physical condition and quality of life.

Kekelekis et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension (n=1). Exercise program combining moderate resistance exercises and aerobic cycling was evaluated on Blood glucose and blood pressure levels. A 5-month exercise program combining aerobic and resistance training decreased blood glucose levels but did not change pre-exercise blood pressure in a 68-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes.
