No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Regular physical activity is important for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it is often not sustained for many reasons, including lack of interest. New video games that involve physical movement ("exergames") may help in this regard. This study will compare the "exergame" "Dance Dance Revolution" (DDR) with traditional treadmill exercise on blood sugar control among sedentary, overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes.
