The Claim
Progressive resistance training using the bioDensity™ technique in elderly Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and baseline HbA1c greater than 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) results in statistically significant reductions in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose after six months of intervention.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In elderly Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and poorly controlled blood sugar, six months of progressive resistance training using the bioDensity™ technique lowers HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels.
See the scientific wording
Progressive resistance training using the bioDensity™ technique in elderly Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and baseline HbA1c greater than 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) leads to statistically significant improvements in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose after six months, suggesting targeted glycemic benefits for those with poor initial glucose control.
When muscles are forced to work hard during resistance training, they pull more sugar from the blood into muscle cells using special transporters that move to the cell surface. This lowers the amount of sugar in the blood.
What the research says
1 studyIn older Chinese adults with poorly controlled diabetes, using a special strength machine for six months helped lower their blood sugar levels — exactly what the claim said would happen.
