Metabolic adaptation
Resistance exercise appears effective in reducing Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 2 diabetes.
Incorporating resistance exercise may help lower HbA1c levels in diabetic patients.
GoodSupportsmedium confidence
Although the quality of evidence is low, such exercise appears effective in reducing Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 2 diabetes.
Why this rating
The claim is based on a review of existing evidence, which is considered lower quality.
