Although elastic bands are used in training protocols for the control of other Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases, their effect on the glycemic modulation of diabetics is not yet clear. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of a training session with elastic band on acute glycemic modulation of T2DM. Participated in the research 10 T2DMs, with an average age of 64.5 years, average diagnosis of T2DM of 12.3 years and participation of 4.07 years in the Doce Vida Program - Supervised Physical Exercise Program for Diabetics. Participants were divided into two random groups, GEF (Exercise Group with Elastic Bands) and CG (Control Group). The GEF held a strength training session with elastic bands, with eight exercises, three sets of 15 repetitions. The CG does not exercise. Capillary blood glucose was measured before and after 40 minutes in two groups. The test was performed to assess the mean capillary blood glucose before and after the intervention. The comparison of blood glucose variation deltas in the GEF (49 mg/dL) and in the CG (34 mg/dL) was not statistically significant (p=0.2045), but only in the GEF there was a significant reduction in blood glucose. (165 mg/dL to 116 mg/dL - p=0.0114), a reduction that was not significant in the CG (156 mg/dL to 121 mg dL - p=0.1726). Strength training with elastic bands was able to sharply reduce the capillary glycemia of diabetics in this sample.
