The PACE G Study

06/03/2021

The PACE-G Study is currently looking for people with pre-diabetes to help us with our research. We are trialling an exercise regime to address liver health, blood sugar control, and weight control amongst many other measures.

If you have normal glucose or a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, we'd still love to talk to you about taking part. You can see our poster below or visit our website or page for the basic details, or get in contact with us to find out more or check your eligibility to enrol.

We are looking particularly at the effect of exercise on nonalcoholic liver disease and also comparing health measures in people with different blood glucose levels.
