Introduction The HUR type 2 diabetes (T2D) concept is designed to be used in strength training as a therapeutic modality in treatment of T2D by using the HUR’s Natural Transmission method. The Natural Transmission Method is a resistance strength training method based on pneumatic technology. The method allows for resistance to be adapted in response to the muscle’s own force production, regardless of the speed of movement. An intelligent technology system for automated reporting, close to zero starting load, 100 g/1 kg increments in resistance, range limiters and additional support with connected outcome measures to document the effectiveness, enables the T2D patient to start strength training safely when on appropriate medication. The HUR T2D concept helps the rehabilitation professional to provide best practice exercise-as-medicine, based on the latest international treatment guidelines, to help the T2D patient to engage in regular weekly physical activity and to follow an exercise training regimen. 37
