What does this research mean for the field?

A 12-week synchronous telehealth exercise program does not significantly reduce HbA1c compared to control in individuals with type 2 diabetes, but it improves functional performance, sleep quality, and acute glycemic levels. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

This trial aimed to assess the impact of a synchronous telehealth exercise program on various outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Overview

Randomized trial evaluates exercise's effects on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in T2D, suggesting benefits in function and well-being.

Key Points

This trial aimed to assess the impact of a synchronous telehealth exercise program on various outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Randomized clinical trial (RED Study; NCT05362071) with 33 participants (55.8 ± 10.1 years)
Participants assigned to an intervention group performing supervised exercise via video calls (2–3 sessions/week)
Outcome assessments included glycated hemoglobin, functional performance, and psychosocial parameters, analyzed via linear mixed-effects models
No significant effect on HbA1c (p > 0.05)
Functional performance improved in the intervention group, with significant results in 30 s Chair Stand (p = 0.02), Arm Curl (p < 0.001), Timed Up and Go (p = 0.01), and 2-Minute Step Test (p = 0.01)
Significant improvements in sleep quality (p < 0.001) and acute reductions in blood glucose levels were observed in the intervention group (p = 0.03)
