Type 2 diabetes has become one of the major health problems of the modern world. It is assumed that environmental factors have a significant impact on the development of the disease, and great importance is ascribed to the diet, which can be modified accordingly. The diet can exert prophylactic and therapeutic effects; changes in the diet in advanced disease can improve the quality of life of diabetic patients and minimise the risk of complications, which are the direct cause of diabetes-related death. Functional food, which has a potentially health-enhancing effect in addition to its nutritional value, has been increasingly recognised and required. Cereal products are crucial in diabetic nutrition. Their function can additionally be enhanced by fortification with compounds with proven hypoglycaemic effects. Pasta has a low glycaemic index and is a good carrier of fortifying substances; hence, it can be highly recommended in diets for diabetic patients.

: Insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes mellitus resulting in chronic hyperglycemia is a major health problem in the modern world. Many drugs have been tested to control hyperglycemia which is believed to be the main factor behind many of the diabetes-related late-term complications. Wogonin is a famous herbal medicine which has been shown to be effective in controlling diabetes and its complications. In our previous work, we showed that wogonin is beneficial in many ways in controlling diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this review, we mainly explained wogonin anti-hyperglycemic property through AKT/GLUT4 pathway. Here we briefly discussed that wogonin increases Glut4 trafficking to plasma membrane which allows increased entry of glucose and thus alleviates hyperglycemia. Conclusion: Wogonin can be used as an anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycemic drug and works via AKT/GLUT4 pathway.

AbstractDiabetic patients have increased depression rates, diminished quality of life, and higher death rates due to depression comorbidity or diabetes complications. Treatment adherence (TA) and the maintenance of an adequate and competent self-care are crucial factors to reach optimal glycaemic control and stable quality of life in these patients. In this report, we present the baseline population analyses in phase I of the TELE-DD project, a three-phased population-based study in 23 Health Centres from the Aragonian Health Service Sector II in Zaragoza, Spain. The objectives of the present report are: (1) to determine the point prevalence of T2D and clinical depression comorbidity and treatment nonadherence; (2) to test if HbA1c and LDL-C, as primary DM outcomes, are related to TA in this population; and (3) to test if these DM primary outcomes are associated with TA independently of shared risk factors for DM and depression, and patients’ health behaviours. A population of 7,271 patients with type-2 diabetes and comorbid clinical depression was investigated for inclusion. Individuals with confirmed diagnoses and drug treatment for both illnesses (n = 3340) were included in the current phase I. A point prevalence of 1.9% was found for the T2D-depression comorbidity. The prevalence of patients nonadherent to treatment for these diseases was 35.4%. Multivariate analyses confirmed that lower diabetes duration, increased yearly PCS visits, HbA1c and LDL-C levels were independently related to treatment nonadherence. These findings informed the development of a telephonic monitoring platform for treatment of nonadherence for people with diabetes and comorbid depression and further trial, cost-effectiveness, and prognostic studies (phases II and III).

Abstract Objective To investigate whether the use of diabetes registries meeting Meaningful Use core objectives in primary care practices is associated with differences in quality of care and hospital utilization rates. Materials and methods A practice assessment survey was conducted to identify whether and how practices were using diabetes registries. Insurance claims data from 2010 were used to compare the health outcomes of patients from practices that used diabetes registries meeting Meaningful Use–related objectives to the outcomes of patients from other practices. Logistic hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the data. Results Records from 12,514 diabetic patients (including 10 809 with type 2 diabetes) from 50 urban practices were included in the analysis. The results suggest that patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated in practices using registries for patient reminders were more likely to have completed the recommended laboratory testing (odds ratio [OR] 1.26, p < 0.01) and dilated retinal examinations (OR 1.14, p < 0.01). Patients in practices using registries for quality improvement were less likely to have ‘avoidable hospitalization’ (OR 0.83, p < 0.01) and emergency room visits (OR 0.76, p < 0.01). The use of a diabetes registry did not have a significant impact on the quality of care or hospital utilization for patients with type 1 diabetes. Conclusion Use of diabetes registries meeting Meaningful Use core objectives is associated with higher completion or recommended lab tests and a lower hospital utilization rate for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease with fatal health complications. Identifying the psychological factors that control this disease is very important, one of which is quality of life (QOL). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a QOL education program on psychological well-being (PWB) and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: This is a pilot study with a quasi-experimental design based on pretest and posttest phases. The statistical population consists of all diabetic patients referred to health centers in Semnan City, Iran during the 6months from March to September 2018.Of them,30 type 2 diabetes, aged 30-60 years (male and female) were selected based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. They were first assessed by using Hayes’s general adherence scale (GAS) and Ryff’s psychological well-being scale the short form (PWBS-SF).Then, the intervention group received QOL education in 12 sessions, once per week each for 90 min. Then, posttest assessments were carried out. The collected data were analyzed using MANCOVA. Results: The QOL education program significantly increased adherence to treatment (P= 0.005) and PWV and all its dimensions (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, be purposeful in life, self-acceptance) in patients (P = 0.005). Conclusion: Since diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that need constant care and there is no definitive and immediate treatment for it, increasing PWB and adherence to treatment in patients to control this disease by QOL education can be very effective.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that has serious complications including quality of life. This research analyses the health-related quality of life and the relative factors of type 2 diabetics in Tam Binh District, Vinh Long Province, Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was administered from July-August 2019 at seventeen communes in Tam Binh district. All total of 500 patients diagnosed type 2 diabetes and aged 35 years and older, comprised this investigation. The exploration questionnaire encompassed the Vietnamese Diabetes Quality of Life. Diabetics had an average age of 59.77 + 9.81 years. The health-related quality of life score was moderate at 60.15 + 21 points. The inter-personal relationship had the lowest score. However, the highest score was detected for the physical endurance. The significant differences could be distinguished at different individual components like age, marital status, location, family type, education, occupation, income, duration, glycaemia, HbA1c, hypoglycemia, alcohol-using, treatments, and other issues. The study highlighted that type 2 diabetes had a negative impact on health-related quality of life. Some patient characteristics affected Vietnamese diabetes quality of life score.

Abstract Background and objective: Diabetes mellitus is a complex chronic disease requiring appropriate continuous medical care and delayed, or forgone care may exacerbate the severity of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting forgone care in diabetic patients.Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 1139 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 18 years and older in East Azerbaijan. Data collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: Of the 1139 patients, 510 patients (45%) reported forgone care during the last year. The percentage of forgoing care was higher in patients without supplementary insurance coverage (P=0.01), those with complications (P=0.01) and those with the history of hospitalization (P=0.006). The majority of patients (41.5%) reported that the most important reason for forgoing care is financial barriers resulting from disease treatment costs. Of the main four factors, quality of care had the highest impact on forgone care at 61.28±39.74, followed by accessibility (37.01±25.12), awareness and attitude towards disease (18.52±18.87) and social support (17.22±18.80).Conclusion: The results showed that, despite the implementation of the Islamic Republic of Iran on a fast-track to beating non-communicable diseases (IraPEN), a considerable number of diabetics had a history of forgoing care, and the most important reasons for forgoing care were related to the financial pressure and dissatisfaction with the quality of care. Therefore, not only more financial support programs should be carried out, but the quality of care should be improved.

Background & Aim: Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects nearly half a million people worldwide. Although advances in technology and medical science have made diabetes management easier today, self-care and adherence to treatment (medication, diet, exercise, etc.) remain a major challenge for diabetic patients. The purpose of this study is to study the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes, their levels of compliance with antidiabetic treatment, and the relationship between the two. Methods & Materials: The present work followed the quantitative approach. A well-structured and reliable questionnaire used in a previous study was distributed to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results were analysed in SPSS statistical program and the correlation between antidiabetic treatment and quality of life was examined using Pearson coefficient. Results: The study involved 165 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized at the General Hospital of Messinia. Among the dimensions of adherence to treatment, only personal care behaviour (p <0.05) and adherence to care (p <0.05) were significantly and positively correlated with the physical quality of life health. Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes have moderate the low quality of life, in line with previous research findings. Lower extremity care compliance was associated with the quality of life of diabetic patients with physical health, although previous studies have generally found that compliance with a diet regimen as well as adherence to medication is associated with the quality of life of diabetic patients. Future research needs to address the same issue by taking larger and more representative samples.

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a disease which carries a considerable social impact in Bulgaria and across the world because of its high prevalence. Research literature has recently included lots of studies investigating the effects of diabetes mellitus on the quality of life of diabetic patients and also many instruments to assess these effects. Quality of life is a concept that encompasses an individual‘s subjective perception of physical, emotional and social wellbeing, including both a cognitive component (satisfaction) and an emotional component (happiness). We review and analyse in the present article major determinants of disease-specific quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the tools used for assessment. RESULTS: Fourteen instruments for measuring quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) met our search criteria. Their contents covered different quality-of-life domains or indicators - typical diabetes symptoms, general health and quality of life, personality traits, physical functioning, mental and social well-being, treatment and quality of life. Most of the disease-specific tools had been field tested and data about their reliability and validity have been reported. Few tools had been subjected to formal assessment of their adaptability to changes. CONCLUSIONS: Of the instruments we assessed the most promising approaches for measuring the diabetes-specific quality of life are offered by ADDQoL, DСP and WBQ. Patients were involved in the development of these tools which have been shown by a number of studies to have good internal reliability, external and construct validity. Efforts are being continually made worldwide to develop a standard ensuring valid, reliable, easy to use tool for assessing quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in order to promote patients integration into society.

Background: Type 2 diabetes and depression are common diseases with bidirectional associations. Depression in diabetics leads to poor adherence to diet and medication, poor glycemic control, reduced quality of life, and increased diabetes-related healthcare expenditure. This study aimed at evaluating diabetic patients with depression to improve the quality of care delivered. Materials and Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adult type 2 diabetics at Al-Jemaih Diabetic Center, Dongola, in July–December 2019A standardized pretested questionnaire was used to collect data, and the depression subscale of the Patient Health Questionnaire was used to diagnose depression. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. Results: Out of the 407 participants, 282 (69.3%) were females, and more than half were aged between 40 and 59 years. The prevalence of depression among type 2 diabetic patients was 35.6%, ranging from mild (24.3%) to moderate (7.4%), moderately severe (2.2%), and severe depression (1.7%). The risk factors associated with depression in type 2 diabetes were: combining antidiabetic therapy, long duration of diabetes, family history of psychiatric illness, diabetes-related complications, poor glycemic control, and lack of regular exercise. Conclusion: More than a third of type 2 diabetics have depression. Screening diabetic patients for depression, establishing a psychiatric unit at the diabetic center, and community-based studies are recommended.
