Background: Diabetes mellitus is a critical public health problem, and its prevalence in Indonesia remains high. Diabetes mellitus may cause complications, one of which is neuropathy that can impair foot sensitivity. This requires a treatment by doing diabetic foot exercises using sponges and paper.Objective: To examine the effectiveness of diabetic foot exercise using sponges and newspapers on foot sensitivity in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest posttest with a control group research design, which was conducted at Public Health Center Depok III, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. An accidental sampling technique was used to select participants, with a total sample of 108 respondents consisting of 36 respondents in a control group, 36 respondents in a sponge group, and 36 respondents in a newspaper group. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test.Results: Among the three groups, only those who received foot exercises using sponges and newspapers had a significant effect on foot sensitivity (p <.05). However, there was no significant difference on the effect of foot exercise on foot sensitivity between sponges and newspapers group (p >.05).Conclusion: The use of sponges and newspapers in foot exercise could significantly improve foot sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is therefore recommended for nurses to provide the foot exercise as a part of nursing practice in both hospitals and community health centers.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) due to its increasing prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality has become a serious public health problem. In DM, HDL may lose its beneficial features and become proatherogenic due to its altered biological activity thus increasing cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the presence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and its duration on the distribution of HDL subfractions. Moreover, the effect of statin treatment on HDL subfraction share was analysed in this study. Methods: The study group consisted of 50 patients with newly diagnosed DM and 50 persons with DM for longer than 10 years while the control group consisted of 50 healthy volunteers. HDL subfractions were analysed with the use of Lipoprint. Results: We demonstrated progressive worsening of heart functioning and impairment of its structure in the course of diabetes mellitus. Moreover, we observed that HDL-6 subfraction and intermediate HDL fraction are lowest in the group with advanced DMt2 compared to the group with newly diagnosed DM and a healthy control group. Finally, the results of our study indicated the effect of statin treatment on HDL subfractions that seems not to be advantageous. Conclusion: It seems that in patients with diabetes mellitus compromised antiatherogenic properties of HDL, as a result of oxidative modification and glycation of the HDL protein as well as the transformation of the HDL proteome into a proinflammatory protein, increase cardiovascular risk.

Introducción: La Diabetes Mellitus es un problema de salud pública. El Pie diabético es una degeneración de la estructura vascular de los pies, cuyos pacientes presentan problemas neurológicos, necesarios de identificar en el menor tiempo posible. Objetivo: El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia de los factores de riesgo en la aparición del pie de riesgo, como datos complementarios al estudio mediante termografía infrarroja. Método: Se plantea un estudio descriptivo, transversal y observacional sobre una muestra de 479 sujetos encuadrados en dos grupos, grupo casos (personas con diabetes) y grupo control (personas sin diabetes). El grupo casos compuesto de un total de 277 personas, con una edad media de 63.41 años, [138 hombres (49.8%) y 139 mujeres (50.2%)]. De igual modo para el grupo control, el número consistió en 202 usuarios, con una edad media de 61.92 años, [ 99 hombres (49%) y 103 mujeres (51%)]. La toma de imágenes se ha llevado a cabo con la cámara FLIR E60bx® (FLIR® Company, Boston, USA). El análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos se ha realizado utilizando el paquete estadístico IBM SPSS Statistics 22.Conclusión: Se puede concluir afirmando que el estudio de los diferentes factores de riesgo es clave en el diagnóstico del pie de riesgo. Se puede establecer con rotundidad que la edad es un condicionante evidente, ya que las edades avanzadas se corresponden con un IMC y perímetro abdominal mayor. Unido al análisis mediante termografía infrarroja en la evaluación del pie de riesgo es útil para el diagnóstico y prevención de zonas comprometidas del pie, evitando así el desencadenante evidente en los daños propios de un pie diabético. Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem. The diabetic foot is a degeneration of the vascular structure of the feet, whose patients present neurological problems that need to be identified in the shortest possible time.Objective: The study's objective was to analyse the influence of risk factors in the appearance of the foot at risk as complementary data to the infrared thermography study.Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional, and observational study was proposed for a sample of 479 subjects corresponding to two groups – cases (subjects with diabetes) and control (subjects without diabetes). The cases group comprised 277 subjects, mean age 63.41 years, 138 men (49.8%) and 139 women (50.2%). The control group comprised 202 subjects, mean age 61.92 years, 99 men (49%) and 103 women (51%). Images were taken with an FLIR E60bx® camera (FLIR® Company, Boston, USA). The statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 statistical package.Conclusion: It can be concluded that the study of the different risk factors is key to the diagnosis of the foot at risk. It was solidly established that age evidently conditions the risk, since advanced ages corresponded to greater BMI and waist circumference. This type of study, together with the analysis by infrared thermography, is useful for the diagnosis and prevention of compromised areas of the foot, thus avoiding the obvious triggering of the damage typical of a diabetic foot.
