Evaluate the Effect of Remote Exercise Intervention on Blood Glucose Control and Physical Fitness in T2DM Patients

The intervention group received 12 weeks of continuous remote intervention combined with health education. The control group only received 12 weeks of continuous health education, and the content and frequency were the same as those of the management group. Both groups received instruction at the beginning of the intervention. The intervention group was given priority to continuous walking/running combined with aerobic exercise and swimming. Five to seven sessions per week for 45 minutes each session. Acclimatizations were performed at an intensity of 40%-49% reserve oxygen uptake (VO2R) from weeks 1 to 4, and exercise was performed at an intensity of 50%-59% VO2R from weeks 5 to 12. 5 minutes each of preparation and grooming activities (including joint movement and stretching) for each exercise. Combined with incremental load resistance exercise 2-3 times a week, 8 movements, 2-3 groups each time, repeated 8-10 times/group, with a 2-min rest between groups. The heart rate, RPE (12-13, "fairly easy" to "somewhat laborious") and exercise bracelet were used to monitor the intensity and amount of exercise. The exercise intervention was usually delivered 1-2 h after a meal. The daily medical supervision in the process of management implementation was carried out by trained sports managers through the doctor terminal of "exercise assistant" to collect and monitor the data of the study subjects.

Treatment and study plan

Remote Exercise + Health Education

Behavioral

Participants in this arm receive a 12-week personalized remote exercise program based on the FITT-VP principle (Frequency: 5-7 days/week; Intensity: 40-59% VO₂R; Time: 45 min/session + 5-min warm-up/cool-down; Type: aerobic walking/jogging plus resistance training with elastic bands twice weekly). Exercise is monitored via wearable devices and a mobile APP , with feedback and adjustments by trained exercise managers. All participants also receive standard diabetes health education (same content and frequency as the control group).

Health Education

Behavioral

12-week standard diabetes health education (medical knowledge, diet/exercise advice, complications, mental health) with same frequency/content as experimental group, but without remote exercise.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in glycemic control

    Time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks

    Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour post-load glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) will be measured at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention to assess glycemic control. Changes from baseline will be compared between the exercise and control groups.
