Background: Diabetes distress (DD) is an increasingly important part of clinical medicine, diabetes self-management and research topic in people with diabetes mellitus. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a value-based emotion-focused educational program in Malay adults with type 2 diabetes (VEMOFIT) at 12-month follow-up compared with a program with systematic attention to participants’ emotions (attention-control). Methods: VEMOFIT consisted of four biweekly group sessions and a booster session after 3 months; the attention-control program consisted of three sessions over the same period. Intention-to-treat analysis with multilevel mixed modelling was done to estimate the intervention effect. Results: Participants ( n = 124) randomized to VEMOFIT ( n = 53) or attention-control ( n = 71). Mean (SD) age 55.7 (9.7) years, median diabetes duration 7.0 (8.0) years and mean HbA1c level 9.7% (82 mmol/mol). The mean DD (DDS-17 scale) level decreased in both groups (from 3.4 to 3.3 versus 3.1–2.5, respectively), significantly more in the attention-control group [adjusted difference −0.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) −1.1, −0.2]. The VEMOFIT group had a significant improvement in self-efficacy (DMSES, range 0–200; adjusted difference 16.4, 99.4% CI 1.9, 30.9). Other outcomes did not differ. Conclusions: Because the attention-control program resulted in a decreased DD 1 year later, its implementation on a larger scale seems justified. Trial registration: NCT02730078; NMRR-15-1144-24803

Background and Aims: An appropriate diet is an essential component of the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, for many people with T2DM, self-management is difficult. Therefore, the Beyond Good Intentions (BGI) education program was developed based on self-regulation and proactive coping theories to enhance people's capabilities for self-management. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the BGI program on improving dietary quality among a preselected group of people with T2DM after two-and-a-half years follow-up.Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 108 people with T2DM were randomized (1:1) to the intervention (n = 56) (BGI-program) or control group (n = 52) (care as usual). Linear regression analyses were used to determine the effect of the BGI program on change in dietary quality between baseline and two-and-a-half years follow-up. In addition, potential effect modification by having a nutritional goal at baseline was evaluated. Multiple imputation (n = 15 imputations) was performed to account for potential bias due to missing data.Results: According to intention-to-treat analysis, participants in the intervention group showed greater improvements in dietary quality score than participants in the control group (β = 0.71; 95%CI: 0.09; 1.33) after follow-up. Having a nutritional goal at baseline had a moderating effect on the effectiveness of the BGI program on dietary quality (p-interaction = 0.01), and stratified results showed that the favorable effect of the intervention on dietary quality was stronger for participants without a nutritional goal at baseline (no nutritional goal: β = 1.46; 95%CI: 0.65; 2.27 vs. nutritional goal: β = −0.24; 95%CI: −1.17; 0.69).Conclusions: The BGI program was significantly effective in improving dietary quality among preselected people with T2DM compared to care as usual. This effect was stronger among participants without a nutritional goal at baseline. A possible explanation for this finding is that persons with a nutritional goal at baseline already started improving their dietary intake before the start of the BGI program. Future studies are needed to elucidate the moderating role of goalsetting on the effectiveness of the BGI program.

Abstract Objectives The aim was to investigate the effect of physical activity on periodontal health and HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over a period of 6 months. Materials and methods Thirty-seven patients with non-insulin-dependent T2DM were included in the study. The intervention group (n=20) performed physical activity over a period of 6 months. The control group (n=17) did not receive any intervention. Baseline and final examinations included dental parameters and concentrations of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Results Physical activity showed a positive effect on periodontal health. Both the BOP (p= 0.005) and the severity of periodontitis (p= 0.001) were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group. Furthermore, HbA1c levels were reduced (p= 0.010) significantly in the intervention group while hsCRP levels significantly increased in the control group (p= 0.04). Conclusions Within the limitations of this randomized, controlled trial, physical activity over a period of 6 months is a health-promoting measure for patients with T2DM and improves both periodontal health and HbA1c concentrations.

Limited information is available regarding culturally-tailored physical activity (PA) interventions for Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A community-partnered approach was used to examine a novel culturally-tailored PA intervention using a pre-post, no control group design. The intervention consisted of six weekly 45-minute sessions for participants to engage in PA led by the researcher. A total of 21 individuals participated in the study. The typical participant was a 53-year-old female (90 percent) Hispanic adult living with T2DM with low acculturation. On average, before the intervention, the participants walked 10,285 (sd 14,779) steps per week with 43.4 (sd 68.1) minutes of PA per week. Despite implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic, the intervention was feasible and acceptable, and 19 (90.5 percent) participants attended all intervention sessions. There were significant increases in steps per week (p=0.007; d=1.03) and minutes of PA per week (p=0.000; d=1.62). Findings suggest that Salud Paso por Paso has promise as a strategy to enhance PA behaviors in the priority population. A randomized, controlled trial with a larger study sample is warranted to examine efficacy and impact on the diabetes health outcomes of Hispanic adults with T2DM.

Abstract Background: Diabetes is the most prevalent disease resulted from metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of training based on health belief model (HBM) on oral hygiene-related behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was conducted as an educational randomized controlled trial (single blind) on 120 patients with type 2 diabetes referring to a diabetes clinic selected through systematic sampling, who were assigned to two groups of control (N=60) and intervention (N=60). The data collection tool was a valid and reliable questionnaire based on HBM which was completed by both groups before the intervention. Then, the intervention group received 4 sessions of educational program based on HBM in one month, and the same questionnaire was completed again after 3 months and the data were analyzed through SPSS version 20 software with inferential statistics, t-test, paired t-tests, Chi square, Mann-Whitney test, and Wilcoxon test analysis. Results: Three months after the intervention, awareness of the patients and perceived susceptibility, benefits, self-efficacy, internal cue to action, and performance in oral and dental hygiene-related behaviors had a significant increase in the intervention group (p<0.05). So that the performance of oral and dental hygiene in the intervention group increased from 2.16 ± 0.71 to 3.25 ± 0.49 (p=0.001) after the education. Conclusion: Our results suggest that training patients with diabetes based on HBM as well as through active follow-up can enhance their skills in oral and dental hygiene-related behaviors. Controlling, monitoring and follow-up during the program are also recommended.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Internet and telephone-based telemedicine system managing on patients’ glycemic index, blood pressure, and lipid level control in underserved subjects with type 2 diabetes in Western China. Research designs and methods: In a 3 years, randomized, controlled, single-blind, parallel-group treat-to-target study, 412 subjects with type 2 diabetes were randomized to telemedicine (Tel; n =208) group and usual care (control; n =204) group. We evaluated the effects of the intervention on blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipid levels at 1, 2, 3 years point, and investigated the cause of the loss during follow-up by phone call.Results: Intra-group comparison: in the Tel group, the FBS, 2HPG, HbA1c, and SBP at 1, 2, 3 years and DBP, TC, TG, BMI at 2, 3 years were significantly decreased compared with baseline level  (P<0.05). Moreover, the Tel group had an obvious better control of their HbA1c  at 2 and 3 years and 2HPG  at 3 years of follow-up respectively compared with the outcomes at 1 year (P<0.05).Inter-group comparison: the FBS, 2HPG, and HbA1c of Tel group decreased significantly from the baseline to the 1 year more than those of control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01 ). In this analysis, all clinical measures of Tel group had a significant downward compared with the outcomes of Control group  at 2 years, the FBS, HbA1c and BMI (P<0.001), the 2HPG and SBP (P<0.01) and DBP, TC, and TG (P<0.05) were statistically significant respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the subject loss during follow-up was associated with worse diabetes management (OR=3.842), low income (OR=3.201), low education level (OR=0.923), and greater distance to the hospital (OR=0.921).Conclusions: The study results indicated that the telemedicine may be a useful tool for managing diabetes mellitus.

Abstract. Background: The study was designed to test the possible association between either polymorphisms of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene (rs17576, rs3918242) or the MMP-3 5A/6A gene polymorphism (rs3025058) with markers of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The second aim of the study was to demonstrate an association between either the rs17576, rs3918242 or rs3025058 and subclinical markers of coronary artery disease in the same subset of patients with T2DM. Patients and methods: A total of 595 subjects with T2DM and 200 subjects without T2DM (control group) were enrolled in the prospective study. Subclinical markers of carotid atherosclerosis were assessed ultrasonographically. Additionally, in a subset of subjects with T2DM a coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was performed for diagnostic purposes. Genotyping of all three polymorphisms (rs17576, rs3918242, rs3025058) was performed with real-time PCR systems. Results: The comparison of atherosclerosis parameters was performed with regard to different genotypes of MMP-9 rs17576, rs3918242, and MMP-3 rs3025058 polymorphisms upon enrolment and during follow-up. In our study, we found an association between the MMP-3 rs3025058 and CIMT at the time of recruitment. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the association of either the A- allele or the A- genotypes of the rs3025058 (MMP-3) with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) progression in a 3.8-year follow-up. We demonstrated the effect of the rs3025058 on subclinical markers of coronary atherosclerosis (coronary calcium score, number of coronary arteries with more than 50 % stenosis, and presence of at least one vessel with more than 50 % stenosis). Conclusions: We found an association between the MMP-3 rs3025058 and subclinical markers of carotid (CIMT) and coronary atherosclerosis at the time of recruitment. Moreover, we demonstrated the effect of the MMP-3 rs3025058 on CIMT progression in the 3.8-year follow-up in patients with T2DM.

AbstractBackground and objectivesDiabetes is a serious threat to global health that respects neither socioeconomic status nor national boundaries. Globally, diabetes is among the top 10 causes of death. Unani system argued the effectiveness of several anti-hyperglycemic drugs, and all such drugs looked-for to be validated on scientifically. Hence a clinical trial was contemplated to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Qurs-e-Gulnar in the management of Diabetes Mellitus.MethodsThis study was conducted as single blind randomized control, on 40 patients of type 2 diabetes with the test (n=20) and control (n=20) groups for 45 days. Test group received Qurs-e-Gulnar at the dose of three Qurs twice a day, and control group received two capsules Diabeat® twice a day before meal. Subjective (at 0, 15th, 30th, and 45th) and objective parameters were assessed as pre-post treatment respectively.ResultsAfter treatment with test compound significant reduction was observed in all the subjective parameters viz. polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and tiredness in comparison of control group. The objective parameters FBS and PPBS was found to be significantly reduced (p<0.001) in both the groups where as HbA1c was found unchanged in test group but control drug showed highly significant reduction in HbA1c (p<0.001).The results were assessed statistically using two tailed Student’s t-test, and Fischer exact test.ConclusionOn the basis of above observation it is concluded that the test compound Qurs-e-Gulnar has significant anti-diabetic effect which is evidentially observed both in subjective and objective parameters in test group in comparison of control group (CTRI/2017/07/009060).
