Effect of Different Exercise Training Intensities on Musculoskeletal and Neuropathic Pain in Inactive Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes – Preliminary Randomised Controlled Trial

The benefits of physical exercise for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes are well established, including improved glucose control, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscle mass, and body composition [1]. In contrast, there is little knowledge on the specific effects of exercise training on chronic pain in this population [2]. This is despite growing evidence that people with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop a range of rheumatological and musculoskeletal problems, and experience both widespread and neuropathic pain [3 –5].
