The prevalence of diabetes worldwide is increasing; other infectious diseases, such as obesity-related diseases, include hypertension, heart disease, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM). Physical exercise is known to control blood sugar. This study aims to determine the effect of high-intensity interval training on blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted a pre and post-test laboratory experiment with 20 participants who underwent HIIT, including outdoor running, treadmill exercises, and exercise bikes, with a 1:3 work-to-rest ratio. Blood sugar levels were assessed before and after the intervention. Our study found a statistically significant decrease in blood sugar levels following the HIIT intervention (p-value = 0.001). These results suggest that high-intensity interval training can effectively lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. © 2023 by SPC (Sami Publishing Company).
