This study is looking at how a special type of breathing exercise, called Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST), might help young people and young adults with Type 2 Diabetes. IMST involves using a handheld device to breathe in against resistance for about 5 minutes a day. Researchers want to see if this training can improve blood pressure and kidney health over three months. You might be able to join if you are 14 to 40 years old, have had Type 2 Diabetes for at least one year, and your HbA1C (a measure of blood sugar) is less than 12%. The study will compare IMST to a sham training, which uses the same device but with very low resistance.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 90 participants. It compares Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) to a sham training.

What's involved

Participants will engage in Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training or sham training for approximately 5 minutes per day. The primary endpoint, systolic blood pressure, will be measured at 3 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for at least 3 months, based on the primary endpoint measurement time frame.
