4. HbA1c 7.0-9.9%.
5. Have BMI of 25 kg/m2 or above
6. Have waist circumference associated with central obesity/metabolic syndrome as per Diabetes Canada definition

9. Use a CGM in routine diabetes management.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Major complication within the previous 3 months (e.g., severe hypoglycemia requiring assistance, diabetic ketoacidosis, or cardiovascular event).
2. Restriction in aerobic or resistance exercise due to significant diabetes complications (e.g., severe peripheral neuropathy, active proliferative retinopathy, etc.) or other type of limitations (e.g., orthopedic, severe arthritis, etc.).

4. Implanted device, material, or having a condition contraindicated to MRI.
5. Ongoing pregnancy or breastfeeding.
6. Inability to give consent.
