ResumoWe read with great interest the results of the meta-analysis by Snowling and Hopkins (1) on the effects of different modes of exercise training on glucose control and risk factors for complications in type 2 diabetic patients. This most recent meta-analysis of post-2000 randomized controlled trials is perhaps most important because of the size of the cohort (over 1,000 type 2 diabetic patients) and for the study of characteristics and magnitude of effects in more detail than in the previous Boule meta-analyses (2). Snowling and Hopkins determined that an A1C reduction of 0.8 ± 0.3% is “small” and affirmed in their conclusion that “there are sufficient studies to allow us to conclude that aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise have …
