Summary

Diabetes Mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disease-causing chronic hyperglycemia. Globally more than 90% cases are of type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Around 537 million adults worldwide had diabetes but according to data from Pakistan, female sufferers are marginally higher (26.4%) as compared to men (25.1%). The main causes of DM II are genetic predispositions, including consanguinity, dietary changes, urbanization and sedentary lifestyles. It is reported that postmenopausal status is linked to worsened glycemic control, increased visceral adiposity and and inflammation, and women before menopause generally have improved lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. HIIT provides powerful and time-efficient benefits by alternating high-intensity workouts (85-95% HR\_Max) with recovery.
