Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study determines the effects of moderate physical activity on early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type-II diabetes. Most of the literature shows the impact of physical activity to manage/controlling diabetes. Some studies were conducted on animals to study the impact of physical activity on diabetic neuropathy and neurogenesis. There is no study on the impact of physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans. This study finds the impact of moderate physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans.

Arms & Interventions
Moderate Physical Activity Group
The Experimental Group gets moderate physical activity. Elliptical will be performed at least 5 days/per week. Moderate intensity, corresponding approximately to 40-60% of Vo2max (maximal aerobic capacity) 150 min/week of exercise undertaken at moderate intensity or greater. Warm-up and Dynamic stretching is given before and static stretching is given after moderate physical activity.
Intervention: Moderate Physical Activity for Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy (Other)
Non Specific Physical Activity Group
The Control group continues their regular medication for diabetic neuropathy.
