Type 2 diabetes according to WHO criteria for over 2 years
VO2peak 60-90% of age-predicted value as measured on a cycle-ergometer
Motivated and willing/able to travel 3 times a week to ErasmusMC and participate in a supervised exercise intervention program.
Use of Beta-blocker therapy, low molecular heparin, exogenous insulin therapy (for exercise intervention only), use of oral anti-coagulans therapy; decompensatio cordis, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction or positive signs of cardiac ischaemia on the ECG during the incremental exercise test;orthopaedic impairments that would limit participation in the training program; co-morbidity such as renal failure or > grade III retinopathy or previous diabetic foot ulcer; Cerebro-vascular disease (CVA), neurological diseases or deficits. A history of glaucoma or high intraocular pressure will be contraindication for dilated fundus reflex photography

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The relative improvement in whole-body insulin sensitivity. An insulin<br /><br>sensitivity index (SI) will be calculated by using the minimal model (Bergman<br /><br>et al 1985); a higher SI indicates enhanced insulin sensitivity. Acute-phase<br /><br>insulin secretion<br /><br>(AIRG) and glucose effectiveness (SG) were also determined from the IVGTT (<br /><br>Bergman et al 1985).</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Relative improvements in vascular function parameters using forearm<br /><br>plethysmography (change in forearmbloodflow in ml/100g forearm/min na<br /><br>nitriprusside/acetylcholine), cardiovascular fitness (VO2max), systemic blood<br /><br>pressure, body composition, lipid metabolism and glycemic control.</p><br>
