Summary

This study is designed to investigate the effect of a structured resistance training program on glycemic control, measured by hemoglobin A1c (glycated hemoglobin), in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. The investigator will compare the experimental group receiving resistance training to a control group made of patients enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and perform 3 aerobic exercise modalities during their sessions, which is the current standard of care.

Conditions

• Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM)
• Cardiovascular Disease

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Resistance Training	7 muscle-strengthening exercises using body weight resistance and elastic resistance bands
OTHER	Standard of Care	3 exercises that do not include these 7 muscle-strengthening exercises
