Abstract

Complications resulted due to diabetes are known to be a leading cause of morbidity & mortality among people. While this is a serious issue, it can be delayed and prevented by following a healthy diet and physical activity schedule along with prescribed medication. In the study conducted, a total of 12 T2DM male participants in the age group of 30-65 years included. The criteria of exclusion for the participants were those with T1DM, Respiratory disease, Neurological disorders, musculoskeletal problems. The average age of participants in the control group was 59.0±8.6 & 47.25±3.20 in the study group. The participants underwent a structured exercise program.
