The type II diabetes is characterized by high levels of blood glucose followed by excessive insulin release so that the target cells become less sensitive and develop insulin resistance, maintaining hyperglycemic levels. The Whole body vibration session may improve the glucose metabolism in diabetic patients by reducing the peripheral blood sugar. Ten healthy elderly women and eight diabetic elderly women were allocated into two groups, and have made an acute whole body session.

Changes in glucose levels
A digital puncture with disposable lancets was collected a peripheral blood drop in the specific strip for the home glucose monitoring AccuChek Active® (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) according to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recommendations in 2013 (11).
Time frame: before and immediately after the 10 minute intervention
Changes in lactate levels
Another peripheral blood drop was collected from the same digital puncture with disposable lancets and put in the specific strip for to check the seric blood lactate, which was analyzed by a portable lactimeter Accutrend Plus ® (Roche Accutrend Plus, New York, USA).
Time frame: before and immediately after the 10 minute intervention
peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2)
measured with a digital oximeter Onyx (Nonim, model 9500, USA)
Time frame: before and immediately after the 10 minute intervention
heart rate (HR)
measured with a digital oximeter Onyx (Nonim, model 9500, USA)
Time frame: before and immediately after the 10 minute intervention
Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE) or Modified Borg Scale
visual scale that measure the perceived exertion in muscle or dyspnoea, measuring values between 0 at 10
Time frame: before and immediately after the 10 minute intervention
