Measure
Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Clinical Symptoms of DPN
Patients will be individually prescribed to a 10-week exercise program with both aerobic and resistance components. Prior to beginning the intervention, patients will participate in a maximal graded exercise test (VO2R) using a cycle ergometer with a metabolic cart and integrated ECG. Exercise Program: The exercise program will combine moderate intensity aerobic exercise with lower-extremity specific resistance training. A moderate level of intensity will be calculated based on results from a maximal graded exercise test (VO2R) conducted prior to the intervention.

Timeframe: Baseline

15-question assessment of symptoms. Responses of "yes" to items 1-3, 5-6, 8-9, 11-12, 14-15 are each counted as one point. A "no" response on items 7 and 13 counts as 1 point. Item 4 is a measure of impaired circulation and item 10 is a measure of general asthenia; neither are included in scoring. The total score ranges from 0-13; lower scores indicate less prevalent symptoms; a decrease in scores indicates symptoms decreased during the observational period.

FA is a scalar value between zero and one that describes the degree of anisotropy of a diffusion process. A value of zero means that diffusion is isotropic, i.e. it is unrestricted (or equally restricted) in all directions. A value of one means that diffusion occurs only along one axis and is fully restricted along all other directions. Measured using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI).
