Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study includes individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, both males and females, aged between 18 and 55 years. Participants must have provided consent and have a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level between 7 and 10.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals with a history of certain medical conditions are excluded, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA), chronic kidney disease (CKD), coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and uncontrolled hypertension. Additionally, those with musculoskeletal impairment, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or thromboembolic events are not eligible. Patients with severe neuropathy, sensory deficits, open wounds, skin infections, or compromised skin integrity in the limb undergoing blood flow restriction training (BFRT) are also excluded.
