Diabetes mellitus (DM) is probably one of the oldest diseases known to man. There are two types of diabetes, insulin-dependent or type 1 diabetes mellitus, and insulin-independent or type 2 diabetes mellitus. About 90% of diabetic patients have type 2 DM. The chronic metabolic disorder caused by other factors such as malnutrition, stress, an insufficient level of physical activity and genetics. Diabetes is not a disease of modern times. It was first reported in an Egyptian manuscript about 3000 years ago, but with the development of technology and industry has led to an increasing number of people suffering from the disease. As a result of this trend, it is rapidly becoming an epidemic in some countries in the world with a tendency to grow more. The number of people with diabetes is expected to double in the next decade. The main reason for this assumption is the aging of the population. Developing countries are especially at high risk, as a consequence of a sudden increase in quality of life can lead to an increase in patients with type 2 DM. Sedentary lifestyles are associated with an increased prevalence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In contrast, lifestyle change programs that include physical activity and exercise play an important role in the prevention and treatment of type 2 DM syndrome as well as macrovascular complications of type 2 DM. Physical exercise is emerging as a new tool in the fight against diabetes. This review paper outlines the importance and types of physical activity, the recommendations, and the benefits it brings. The literature review was performed on the PubMed (Medline) platform. Only English language articles are included. Usually, the term exercise refers to aerobic exercise in the general population. In this work, in addition to aerobic training and the benefits it brings, the effects of other training methods, such as strength training, yoga or tai chi, are also analyzed. Physical activity and exercise are one of the most effective agents in the fight against diabetes. The impact of training on blood glucose control can last up to 72 hours after training has ended. Moderate to high levels of aerobic activity are significantly associated with lower cardiovascular and overall mortality risks for type 1 and type 2 DM. The general recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) is 150 min per week of moderate to intense physical activity. Aerobic training increases cardiorespiratory fitness and has the effect of reducing insulin resistance. Strength training leads to improved balance, strength, and assists in the daily activities of life. More intense strength training with free weights and trainers can improve glycemic control. Flexibility and balance exercises are important for maintaining joint movement and balance, reducing the risk of falls and improving the quality of life. People with DM should exercise daily. It is recommended that aerobic training should be combined with strength training 2 to 3 times a week. It is especially important to suggest and encourage the active lifestyles of people with DM. Physical activity is a cure and improves all parameters of health and quality of life.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that has a major impact on the quality of life (QoL). The type 2 DM patients to know their capacity to manage the disease and maintain their health and well-being. This study aims to determine biological, psychological, social and economic factors on the quality of life in type 2 DM patients. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 100 type 2 DM patients was selected by purposive random sampling. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variables were quality of life (QoL). The independent variables were body mass index (BMI), HbA1C, occupation, education, physical activity, and family support. The data were obtained from medical record and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Quality of life in type 2 DM patients increased with high physical activity (OR= 6.33; 95% CI= 1.92 to 20.87; p= 0.002), strong family support (OR= 3.94; 95% CI= 1.21 to 12.78; p= 0.023), employed (OR= 4.17; 95% CI= 1.15 to 15.19; p= 0.030), and high education (OR= 4.37; 95% CI= 1.49 to 12.76; p= 0.007). Quality of life in type 2 DM patients decreased with obesity (OR= 0.37; 95% CI= 0.12 to 1.20; p= 0.099) and HbA1c (OR= 0.16; 95%= 0.05 to 0.53; p= 0.003). Conclusion: Quality of life in type 2 DM patients increases with high physical activity, strong family support, employed, and high education. Quality of life in type 2 DM patients decreases with obesity and HbA1c. Keywords: quality of life, type 2 diabetes melitus, biopsychosocial Correspondence: Rahsunji Intan Nurvitasari.

The purpose of this work was to study the general characteristics of quality of life (QoL), the effect of overweight on QoL, the nature of eating behaviour in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and   concomitant overweight (OW) and obesity, as well as to establish the correlation with indicators of functional state of the arterial vessels. 64 people (34 women and 30 men) with DM and concomitant  overweight and obesity (average age 56.3 ± 10.23 years) formed the 1 group, 34 people (19 women and 15 men), whose average age was 55.6 ± 11.92 years constituted the 2 group, and  28 healthy individuals formed the control group. SF-36v2 questionnaires were used to evaluate QoL. The effect of overweight on QoL was analyzed according to the IWQOL-Lite questionnaire data, the patterns of eating behaviour were determined by the COEQ4 for 7 days using FPRS questionnaire. The functional state of the arterial vessels was assessed by estimating the pulse wave velocity using the automated rheographic complex ReoCom (KhAI Medika (Ukraine)). The patients with DM and concomitant overweight and obesity were found to experience some changes in QoL according to the SF-36v2 questionnaire. The changes were primarily characterized by a decrease in physical activity, as well as in social and emotional status. These changes differed not only from the QoL assessment by healthy individuals, but also from those of patients with DM and normal body weight. The nature of eating behaviour in overweight or obese patients with DM was characterized by an increased hunger in parallel with a worsened emotional state and an increased desire to eat certain types of foods that can contribute to weight gain. Structural changes in arterial vessels that typically are indicative of arterial stiffness correlate with indicators of emotional state and physical activity in patients with DM and comorbid overweight and obesity.

Background: Physical inactivity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)–associated inflammatory biomarkers are correlated with poor quality of life (QoL). However, no study has investigated the synergistic effect of physical activity (PA) and lower neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on QoL. Objective: We examined the independent and synergistic effects of PA and inflammatory biomarkers on three domains of QoL in T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 294 patients with T2DM from community clinics in Indonesia. The 36-item Short Form Survey and a questionnaire about PA engagement were used to measure QoL and metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-hr/week, respectively. Inflammatory biomarkers were measured in fasting blood. Adjusted coefficients β and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using multiple linear regression. The synergistic effect was analyzed using additive interaction for linear regression. Results: Patients with PA ≥ 7.5 MET-hr/week exhibited significantly higher total QoL (β = 8.41, 95% CI = [6.04, 10.78]) and physical component score (PCS; β = 13.90, 95% CI = [10.52, 17.29]) than those with PA < 7.5 MET-hr/week. Patients with NLR < 1.940 had significantly higher total QoL (β = 4.76, 95% CI = [3.41, 6.11]), mental component score (MCS; β = 2.62, 95% CI = [0.75, 4.49]), and PCS (β = 6.89, 95% CI = [4.97, 8.82]) than patients with NLR ≥ 1.940. PA ≥ 7.5 MET-hr/week and NLR < 1.940 exhibited a synergistic effect on total QoL, MCS, and PCS. Conclusions: High PA level and low NLR had a positive synergistic effect on QoL among patients with T2DM.

Diabetes is a complex, chronic illness requiring continuous medical care with a multifactorial risk reduction strategy beyond glycemic control. Quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) is one indicator of successful disease management. This study aimed to determine the extent to which medication adherence affects the quality of life. The method used by searching the literature of scientific publications in the time of years between 2016-2021 using the Pubmed database, Science Direct, Cinahl, Willey Online Library and google scholar, there were 2.281articles. The result of the literature review found nine articles that fit inclusion and exclusion criteria, it was found that several variables can improve the quality of life in type 2 DM, one of which is treatment adherence. Treatment adherence is a major predictor in improving the quality of life in type 2 DM when compared with other variables. It is important to develop DM management interventions that focus on improving treatment adherence.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels as a result of insufficient insulin secretion, impaired insulin activity or both. Patients with diabetes mellitus are at risk for complications that can affect their quality of life. These complications can be minimized through self-management.  Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-management and quality of life in type 2 DM patients. Design: This study was a quantitative research. The design in this study was a cross-sectional analytic with a sample of 75 people who were carried out at the endocrine polyclinic RS Pusat TNI Angkatan Laut (RSPAL) DR. Ramelan Surabaya. Research instrument used the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) developed by Schmitt et al (2013) to determine the self-management of type 2 DM patients and to measure the quality of life using the Diabetes Quality of Life Brief (DQoL Brief) instrument developed by Burrough et al (2008). The sample siza with simple random sampling method, and data analysis using spearman rank test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-management and quality of life in type 2 DM patients (p-value = .000, r = .394). Conclusion: There is a significant positive relationship between the level of self-management and quality of life in type 2 DM patients. From the results of the Spearman test correlation coefficient, there is a positive sign. This means that the higher the patient's self-management, it will also improve the quality of their life. The implication of this study are nurses can increase patient knowledge by providing education that focuses on improving self-management and facilitating the provision of family support as well as supervision and monitoring related to self-management by type 2 DM patients.
