Exclusion Criteria: * Taking 4 or more glucose-lowering medications. * Taking insulin. * Taking beta-blockers. * Taking 3 or more commonly prescribed medications for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (e.g., statins, antihypertensives). * Have had an episode of severe hypoglycemia in the past 6 months (defined as having neurological symptoms consistent with neuroglycopenia and required assistance in treatment by a second party). * Currently a cigarette smoker. * Have a chronic musculoskeletal condition that would prevent participation in exercise. * Have had a recent (within the last 2 years) cardiovascular event that prevents participation in exercise. * Experience angina upon exertion. * Have uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension) or an atypical blood pressure or pulse rate at rest or during exercise as determined by a physician. * Have a scheduled surgical procedure within the next 3-4 months that would prevent exercise participation. * Currently diagnosed with a cardiac or pulmonary disease (e.g., angina, arrythmia, exercise-induced bronchospasm) that would prevent exercise participation. * Have a psychiatric disorder that could prevent you from completing the study procedures or visits. * Have donated more than 0.5 L of blood within the last 4 weeks. * Currently following an extreme diet (e.g., very low carbohydrate/calorie, ketogenic) or taking dietary/nutritional supplements that impact glucose control (e.g., exogenous ketones). * Currently have diabetic ulcers, peripheral vascular disease, or diabetic neuropathy that will prevent participation in exercise. * Currently on dialysis. * Currently participating in another clinical trial that interferes with the study procedures. * Currently pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant during the intervention (i.e., within the next 3-4 months).
