Diet And Diabetes

In a nutshellDietary advice for diabetics has included both reducing and increasing CHO.Some short term trials show improved glucose control from lower CHO, more fibre and lower GI foods. Light alcohol intake may provide some benefit. All these require further trials on their long term outcomes. And we should remember that, of all the lifestyle interventions in type 2 diabetes, the most effective appears to be exercise.

Diabetes Status

Introduction: Obesity in childhood is associated with many co-morbid conditions; one of them is alteration of glucose metabolism. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 overweight and obese children aged 5-16 years to determine the status of pre-diabetes (IFG and IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), attending the OPD, BSMMU, Dhaka. All overweight/obese children were included according to BMI for age and sex using CDC growth chart. Children taking steroid for any cause or having any endocrine disorder or syndrome was excluded from the study. Anthropometry and blood pressure measurement were done and skin manifestations of insulin resistance were looked for. Fasting lipid profile and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done for each child. Result: Among the studied children 62% were male and 38% female, 77% were obese and 23% were over weight. Evidence of insulin resistance were found among most of the children and most common evidence was dyslipidemia (80%) followed by acanthosis nigricans(76%). Skin manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was found in 3% of children. Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was found in 4% and Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) was found in 7% of children among them 4% had both IGT and IFT. No child was found diabetic in this study. Conclusion:Altered glucose metabolism was present in overweight and obese children of our children, so screening is recommended. Bangladesh J Child Health 2020; VOL 44 (3) :143-147

Effective Prevention

ObjectiveIntensive lifestyle interventions reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in populations at highest risk, but staffing levels are usually unable to meet the challenge of delivering effective prevention strategies to a very large at-risk population. Training volunteers with existing type 2 diabetes to support healthcare professionals deliver lifestyle interventions is an attractive option.MethodsWe identified 141 973 people at highest risk of diabetes in the East of England, screened 12 778, and randomized 1764 into a suite of type 2 diabetes prevention and screen detected type 2 diabetes management trials. A key element of the program tested the value of volunteers with type 2 diabetes, trained to act as diabetes prevention mentors (DPM) when added to an intervention arm delivered by healthcare professionals trained to support participant lifestyle change.ResultsWe invited 9951 people with type 2 diabetes to become DPM and 427 responded (4.3%). Of these, 356 (83.3%) were interviewed by phone, and of these 131 (36.8%) were interviewed in person. We then appointed 104 of these 131 interviewed applicants (79%) to the role (mean age 62 years, 55% (n=57) male). All DPMs volunteered for a total of 2895 months, and made 6879 telephone calls to 461 randomized participants. Seventy-six (73%) DPMs volunteered for at least 6 months and 66 (73%) for at least 1 year.DiscussionIndividuals with type 2 diabetes can be recruited, trained and retained as DPM in large numbers to support a group-based diabetes prevention program delivered by healthcare professionals. This volunteer model is low cost, and accesses the large type 2 diabetes population that shares a lifestyle experience with the target population. This is an attractive model for supporting diabetes prevention efforts.
