Study to Weigh the Effect of Exercise Training on BONE (SWEET-BONE) Quality and Strength in Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased fracture risk despite normal to increased bone mass, thus suggesting poor bone quality. This study is aimed at weighing the effect of an exercise intervention program on parameters of bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Two hundred patients with T2DM will be randomized to supervised exercise training on top of standard care (exercise, EXE, group; n=100) versus standard care (control, CON, group; n=100) for 24 months.
