Three studies fit the inclusion criteria, and using these more narrowly defined criteria, the major conclusion was that there was no significance difference between diabetic and non-diabetic groups after the exercise therapy, and no impairment in the walking parameters after exercise in the diabetic group except for one small study ( n = 60), where there was a borderline significant ( p = 0.056) impairment of walking parameters after exercise therapy in diabetic patients with intermittent claudication ( 81 ).
