We investigated the possible relations of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, a parameter of blood glucose control with scores on anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy for 113 outpatients (55 men and 58 women) with type II diabetes mellitus. The relation between the HbA1c level and the self-efficacy scores as well as with the ratings of anxiety and depression was evaluated. A significant relation was found for the HbA1c level with the scores; however, self-efficacy and anxiety and depression showed no association. These results suggest that HbA1c can be maintained at better levels by increasing self-efficacy of diabetic patients.

In this study, extreme velocity ultrasonic imaging pulse wave technology was used to detect the main indices of atherosclerosis such as carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid elasticity, and biochemical indices such as glycated hemoglobin, blood glucose and blood lipids in one hundred twenty 18–60-year-old patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 120 healthy controls. We analyzed the correlations between carotid elasticity, carotid IMT, and a range of biochemical indices. The results indicated that when the carotid IMT in young and middle-aged patients with T2DM was within the normal range (0.56±0.03 mm), the carotid artery elasticity was abnormal [Pulse wave propagation velocity (PWV)-BS = 7.69± 1.26 m/s; PWV-ES = 8.34±1.51 m/s; P < 0.05]. Additionally, PWV-BS was positively correlated with age, course of the disease, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and fasting blood glucose (FBG) (r = 0.297, 0.377, 0.369, 0.382), and PWV-ES was positively correlated with age, course of the disease, HbA1c, and FBG (r = 0.318, 0.386, 0.392, 0.339). This finding provides a basis for extreme velocity ultrasonic imaging pulse wave technology to become a new method for the early screening of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM; this is important for timely clinical intervention in patients with T2DM.

This study aimed to assess patients’ levels of belief, benefits and barriers toward physical activity, and to identify factors associated with physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study was carried out using cross-sectional correlation design. Subjects from the endocrinology and metabolism outpatient departments of a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan were recruited by consecutive sampling. A total of 149 patients with type II DM were recruited. More physical activity was associated with stronger physical activity beliefs, including recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy, which explained 40.9% of variance in physical activity performance. Patient-centered physical activity programs (resistance exercise, daily walking, or Tai Chi exercise) can reduce patients’ barriers toward performing physical activity.
