Abstract Background: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. The literature suggests that acupuncture is a possible complementary therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aims to determine the effect of acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy on homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), adiposity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method and design: This randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled and parallel design trial will be carried out in three public university teaching hospitals in Malaysia. Eligible type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture (n=30) or a placebo (n=30). The intervention is carried out using acupuncture ‘press’ needle on abdomen area (10 sessions of treatment), twice a week over 6 weeks. Both groups will continue with their routine diabetes care. Primary outcome of HOMA-IR and secondary outcomes of body mass index and waist circumference will be measured at the time of recruitment (baseline) and after completion of 10 sessions (week 7) of the treatment. Additionally, secondary outcome of HRQOL will be measured at the time of recruitment (baseline), after completion of 5 sessions (week 3/4) and 10 sessions (week 7) of the treatment. Any adverse event will be recorded at every visit.Discussion: The findings of this study will provide important clinical evidence for the effect of acupuncture as adjunctive therapy on HOMA-IR, adiposity and HRQOL of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus was one of non-communicable diseases that increased of prevalence in word wide, included in Indonesia. Utilization of technology as an effort of increase of diabetes treatment is important for achieving of optimum glycemic control and to prevent of complication of diabetes mellitus. However, intervention for self management in patients with diabetes mellitus at this time still not using technology based mobile health intervention. Purpose: This study aims to verify of effectiveness of mobile health intervention on self management and glycemic control in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: Design of this studies was used systematic review of randomized controlled trial with PRISMA approach. Article search was carried out through databases: Scopus, Science Direct, and ProQuest with randomized controlled trial design within last 10 years. Results: The finding showed 407 articles have been obtained. Articles selection process were through few steps: topic selection, full text selection, design of studies and obtained 10 articles have been as appropriate of inclusion criteria. Based on results of finding of 10 articles were showed that mobile health intervention was effective in improving of glycemic control by decreasing hbA1c, fasting blood glucose, 2 hours post pandrial. Furthermore, mobile health intervention was effective in increasing of self management in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and increased adherence of diabetes medication. Moreover, mobile health intervention can also improve of insulin level and lipid profile in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: Mobile health intervention was effective in improving of glycemic control and self management, and giving of facilitate communication between patient and health providers Keywords: mobile health application; self management; glycemic control; diabetes mellitus ABSTRAK Latar belakang: diabetes melitus (DM) tipe 2 merupakan salah satu penyakit tidak menular yang mengalami peningkatan angka kejadian di dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. Penggunaan teknologi sebagai upaya meningkatkan manajemen diabetes melitus sangatlah penting untuk dilakukan guna mencapai kontrol glikemik optimal dan mencegah komplikasi dari Diabetes Melitus. Namun, manajemen diri pada sebagian besar pasien Diabetes Melitus saat ini masih belum menggunakan bantuan teknologi berbasis mobile health. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memverifikasi efektivitas dari penggunaan mobile health intervention terhadap manajemen diri dan kontrol glikemik pasien dengan diabetes melitus tipe 2. Metode: desain dalam penelitian ini adalah systematic review dengan menggunakan pendekatan PRISMA. Pencarian artikel dilakukan pada beberapa database yang meliputi: Scopus, Science Direct dan ProQuest dengan desain Randomized controlled trial dalam 10 tahun terakhir. Hasil: hasil temuan didapatkan sejumlah 407 artikel penelitian. Proses seleksi artikel dilakukan beberapa tahap meliputi: seleksi topik, fullteks, desain artikel penelitian dan didapatkan 10 artikel penelitian yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of ginger in the reduction of the glycemic, lipid and anthropometric levels in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and method: A double-blind pilot study of the randomized clinical trial type, conducted between October 2017 and January 2018. The inclusion criteria were as follows: individuals with type 2 diabetes, aged from 18 to 80 years old, using oral antidiabetic drugs, and with glycated hemoglobin values between 7 % and 10 %. The participants were randomized and allocated in two different groups. In the experimental group, the participants used 1.2 g of ginger and, in the control group, 1.2 g of placebo. The primary outcome was the reduction in blood glucose. The reduction in the lipid and anthropometric levels was the secondary outcome. The intervention lasted four weeks. Results: A total of 21 participants were included in the study. The use of 1.2 g of ginger resulted in noticeable reductions in the anthropometric and lipid levels in 30 days of follow-up, but it did not reduce the glycemic levels. Conclusions: In this study, it was shown that ginger capsules, in doses of 1.2 g a day, can help to reduce anthropometric measures and lipid levels in the population under study; however, it had no effect on the glycemic levels.
