Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease associated with several cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF). There is strong evidence about the benefits of oilseeds intake and the practice of resistance training (RT) in the prevention and treatment of T2DM and its associated CMRF. However, no study has evaluated the combination of these interventions yet. Baru nut, an oilseed native to the Brazilian Cerrado, stands out among oilseeds due to its healthy nutritional composition, which have the potential to reduce CMRF in T2DM. RT, in turn, provides positive changes in the composition and metabolism of muscle cells, which contributes to improving cardiometabolic health. Objective: This review aimed to summarize the effects and mechanisms related to the intake of baru nut and the practice of RT in reducing CMRF in T2DM. Method: Literature research was performed using the keywords "type 2 diabetes mellitus", "Dipteryx alata Vog", "nuts", "physical exercise" and "resistance training", isolated or associated, in Web of Science and Pubmed databases. Results: Baru nut is an oilseed with high density of nutrients and bioactive compounds with antioxidant and antihypercholesterolemic properties, and the RT is associated with beneficial effects on CMRF in T2DM individuals. Thus, the consumption of baru nut and the RT have potential to improve the insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, body composition, and serum lipid profile. Conclusion: The baru nut consumption and the RT have potential to reduce the cardiometabolic risk factors in T2DM. Both interventions are innovative and promising approaches to preserve the health of T2DM individuals.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a combination of aerobic-resistance training (CARET) and broccoli supplementation on dectin-1 levels and insulin resistance in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Methods: Forty-four males with T2D were randomly allocated to four groups (n = 11 each group): CARET + broccoli supplement (TS), CARET + placebo (TP), control + broccoli supplement (S), and control + placebo (CP). CARET was performed three days per week for 12 weeks. TS and S groups received 10 g of broccoli supplement per day for 12 weeks. All variables were assessed at baseline and 12 weeks. Results: Plasma dectin-1 levels were decreased in TS and TP groups compared with the CP group (p < 0.05). Cardiometabolic risk factors showed significant reductions in TP and TS groups compared to S and CP groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of CARET and broccoli supplementation produced the largest improvements in insulin resistance and dectin-1 and other complications of T2D.

This review focused on data on the prevalence of diabetes mellitus especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Africa, where the current number of diabetes individuals has reached 19 million. There appears to be heterogeneity in the data between countries with a trend towards the development of diabetes at an earlier age, high socio-economic impact but also limited financial resources given that the majority of African countries are developing countries with low to middle income. Africa is not spared the universal risk factors for T2DM, but the influence of the environment (urbanization), inadequate diets and sedentary lifestyle, often leading to overweight and obesity, remains a major concern. This is reflected in projections and estimates by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), which predicts a 143% increase in the number of people with diabetes in Africa by 2045. Other factors have a negative impact on diabetes management, such as difficult access to medication and lack of education programs. Overall and individual awareness raising in collaboration with health authorities, governments and the media remains the most appropriate. Pending the implementation of national programs for the prevention of diabetes and its complications, it is necessary to strengthen therapeutic education and improve the quality of primary care in order to fight the scourge of diabetes. Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, epidemiology, prevalence, risk factors, Africa.

The presented study in Azerbaijan is carried out for the first time within State Programs on fight against a type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and other noninfectious diseases.Aim.To define predictors of arterial hypertension (AH) in patients with DM2 in Azerbaijan population.Material and methods. In the single-step clinical-epidemiology cohort study were included 528 patients with DM2 at the age of 30-69 (30,5% — men and 69,5% — women) who answered questions using “ARIC” questioner to define AH and its risk factors.Results.The prevalence of AH in women (72,4%) was 2,6 times more than in men (27,6%) and the frequent occurrence of AH was at the age of 60-69 (respectively, 26,7±2,1% vs 9,6±2,9%, p<0,001). It was not determined remarkable differences between AH level and occupation status, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, feeding disorder of the patients, at the same time in patients with AH smoking frequency was about 2 times often than in others (respectively, 19,3±1,9% vs 10,6±3,0%, p<0,05). In parents of AH patients AH rates, in comparison with eutonics, were occurred like these: (respectively, in fathers 21,9±2,0% vs 12,5±3,2%, p<0,05; in mothers 42,2±2,4% vs 26,9±4,3%, p<0,01), in mothers DM2 (respectively, 33,7±2,3% vs 221 ±4,1 %, p<0,05), overweight and obesity were watched much more often (95,0±1,1% vs 88,5±3,1%, p<0,05), at the same time these patients were suffered from abdominal obesity (respectively, 96,5±0,9% vs 89,4±3,0%, p<0,01). The mean values of systolic and diastolic arterial pressure (respectively, 148,3±1,1 vs 119,8±1,3 Hg, p<0,001 and 85,9±0,5 vs 74,8±0,8 Hg, p<0,001) were often determined in patients with AH, and on the other hand in these patients were noted prevalence of anxious syndrome (respectively, 78,5±2,0% vs 72,1±4,4%, p<0,05) and depression (68,2±2,3% vs 62,5±4,7%, p>0,05). Regardless of AH level in all patients was noted stress (respectively, 99,8±0,2% vs 100,0±0,0%, p>0,05), which changed for the worse life quality of the patients with AH significantly (respectively, 1,0±2,2% vs 61,5±4,8%, p<0,05).Conclusion.For patients with DM2 in Azerbaijan cohort female sex, increasing of the age, body mass index, abdominal obesity and anxious conditions are significant risk factors for AH. Presence of AH in both parents and DM2 in mothers increase this risk significantly, which decrease life quality of these patients.
