PURPOSE: This study determined the effects of passive static stretching on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. SUBJECTS: Fifteen patients (8 males and 7 females) with type 2 diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned to the control group or passive static stretching group. METHODS: Glycated hemoglobin was measured before and after the 8-week training period. RESULTS: Glycated hemoglobin levels decreased significantly in the passive static stretching group, and there were significant differences in blood glucose levels between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION: Passive static stretching of the skeletal muscles may be an alternative to exercise to help regulate blood glucose levels in diabetes patients.
