This editorial aimed to put forward a question if chrono-nutrition can help prevent diabetes through optimizing circadian rhythms of glucose metabolism. With the advancing mechanization, eating behavior (timing, sequence, and frequency) has changed. People are now more willing to eat fast foods at suboptimal times of the circadian period. Growing evidence suggests that untimely eating and lack of exercise can interfere with optimal physiological rhythms of glucose and insulin metabolism that can lead to diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a foremost metabolic disorder worldwide occurring largely due to suboptimal eating timing and lifestyle. Consuming less sugars and carbohydrates during evening and overnight may help optimize human chrono-physiology. Chrono-nutrition via optimizing the timing of meals is a growing science that needs to be well practiced to help prevent or possibly reduce risks of T2D in today’s complicated life.

The objective: was to compare the efficacy of complex methods of treating climacteric syndrome in patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) by analyzing hormonal parameters before and after complex therapy using antihomotoxicological drugs. Materials and methods. We examined 58 patients aged 45-55 years with a climacteric syndrome on the background of a 2-type diabetes mellitus. Women of the 1st group (n = 28) received only basic therapy according to the National Consensus for the management of patients in menopause with concomitant DM of type 2. Women of the 2nd group (n = 30) were treated with antihomotoxicological drugs against the background of basic therapy. Results. The proposed complexes positively influenced the hormonal state of patients, and also reduced the severity of climacteric syndrome and psychoemotional component. More effective was a complex that included antihomotoxicological agents, which is confirmed by the dynamics of hormonal parameters. Conclusion. From the clinical point of view, the obtained results give grounds to recommend these complexes for the correction of hormonal disorders in women with menopausal disorders on the background of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Key words: climacteric syndrome, diabetes type 2, base therapy, antihomotoxicological agents.

Background: Diabetes is a highly significant public health problem inIran with a prevalence of 5 to 8%. Proprioception plays an important role in the orientation and limb movement in space. Diabetic neuropathy decreases sensory function and causes gait instabilities.Objective: The present study evaluated knee proprioception and kinesthesia in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without neuropathy and compared the results with those of healthy people. Methods: The subjects were ten type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetes type 2 associated with neuropathy, ten patients with diabetes without neuropathy and ten healthy people as the control group. Data were collected in a physical examination and using a questionnaire. Special tests included manual muscle testing of the knee musculature, Achilles and patellar reflexes, and knee proprioception and kinesthesia. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test.Results: the results show that knee proprioception and kinesthesia were significantly decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in comparison with healthy people and there was a greater decline in patients with diabetes associated with neuropathy than in patients with diabetes without neuropathy. Also, knee musculature strength was significantly lower in patients with diabetes in comparison with healthy people and the attenuation was greater in neuropathic patients than in non-neuropathic ones. Conclusions: Patients with diabetes type 2 especially those with neuropathy suffer from proprioception deficits. Proprioception training may prevent secondary problems occurring as a result of proprioception impairment in patients with diabetes type2.

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, cardiovascular morbidity and increased mortality. Identifying people at a high risk of developing diabetes determine the prognosis and quality of life of the patients and prevent the development of macrovascular complications of diabetes. Within the framework of an international project, the ten-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in two age groups workers (up to 25 and over 55) of four economic sectors (construction, clothing, hairdressing and cosmetics, and healthcare) has been estimated. Methods The survey included 150 workers from four economic activities. The FINDRISK questionnaire was distributed among them. Plasma glucose and serum lipids (HDL, LDL, triglycerides) were analyzed. The statistical analysis of the results was done using SPSS 16. Results The mean FINDRISK score for the age group up to 25 years is 3.6 ± 3.8, and for respondents above 55 years - 10.1 ± 5.0. The analysis highlights the higher risk of developing diabetes among healthcare workers, where the score of older workers is 11.63 ± 6.61, as well as in the textile and clothing industry (11.17 ± 4.3). These results call attention to a potential link between the occupation and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in these sectors of the economy and the need for additional measures to search for causes and prevention. Conclusions A significant proportion of the participants over 55 years old in the healthcare and textile and clothing sectors are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which requires a change in lifestyle, as well as the identification of workplace hazards that lead to these results. The FINDRISK questionnaire can serve as an indirect assessment of the cardiovascular risk of older workers. Additional preventive measures are needed to limit the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as cardiovascular risk in the identified risky occupations. Key messages Occupation could contribute to the life style risk factors for developing diabetes type 2. Occupational risk reduction measures and health promotion are needed to protects workers.

Diabetes mellitus is caused by one of the largest medical and social problems in Ukraine, because it causes a high risk of invasive disease. According to the WHO data, the number of patients is rising and people of varying age groups become ill, which causes an increase in the incidence of 3 to 4 pauses and the overall life expectancy of 20-30%. Pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and enclosure, require the extraction of drugs for prophylaxis and treatment with late pharmacological effects. One of these is a herbal remedy. Analysis and systematization of the literature on metabolitotropic effects and substantiation of the use of new goat's-rue, blueberry and taurine phytocompositions for the correction of metabolic changes in diabetes type 2 were carried out. The methods of information search, analysis of literature on the medicinal plants with hypoglycemic action were used. The literary resources on pharmacological correction of metabolic changes in diabetes type 2 deal with natural herbs and amino acids that possess hypoglycemic action and can be used with therapeutic and prophylactic measure in patients with type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes mellitus significant anticytolytic, detoxifying and antioxidant properties of phytocompositions were confirmed. It is known that in hyperglycemia and insulin resistance that occur at type 2 diabetes mellitus end products of glycosylation and glucose autooxidation are formed, which is accompanied by the activation of lipid peroxidation and the formation of a large number of free radicals. It is known that one of the basic mechanisms for the development of insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and specific diabetic angiopathies is oxidative stress. One of the major pathogenetic factors in the development and course of type 2 diabetes mellitus is metabolic syndrome. It has been established that correction using both investigated phytocompositions and reference phytopreparation with different efficiency prevented the development of metabolic changes in metabolic syndrome. Biologically active components of medicinal plants, may show hypoglycemic effect which will influence the activity of the enzymes, glucose transcription and the function of the peptide to the incyline, the processes which play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), one of the most common metabolic disorders, is caused by a combination of two primary factors: defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and the inability of insulin-sensitive tissues to respond appropriately to insulin. Because insulin release and activity are essential processes for glucose homeostasis, the molecular mechanisms involved in the synthesis and release of insulin, as well as in its detection are tightly regulated. Defects in any of the mechanisms involved in these processes can lead to a metabolic imbalance responsible for the development of the disease. This review analyzes the key aspects of T2DM, as well as the molecular mechanisms and pathways implicated in insulin metabolism leading to T2DM and insulin resistance. For that purpose, we summarize the data gathered up until now, focusing especially on insulin synthesis, insulin release, insulin sensing and on the downstream effects on individual insulin-sensitive organs. The review also covers the pathological conditions perpetuating T2DM such as nutritional factors, physical activity, gut dysbiosis and metabolic memory. Additionally, because T2DM is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis development, we review here some of the molecular mechanisms that link T2DM and insulin resistance (IR) as well as cardiovascular risk as one of the most important complications in T2DM.
