The Association between Knowledge, Family Support, and Blood Sugar Level in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. The incidence of DM has increased due to lack of knowledge about DM and changes in lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of knowledge about DM, family support, and blood sugar levels in type 2 DM patients in Jebres health center, Surakarta.Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted at Sibela and Ngoresan Surakarta health center. The study subjects were 100 DM patients selected by purposive sampling. Socio-economic data, knowledge and family support were measured by questionnaires. Blood sugar levels were measured using a spectrophotometer. The data were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression.Results: A total of 66 DM patients had a high level of knowledge, 58 patients received strong family support, and 76 people had normal blood sugar levels. High knowledge about DM (OR= 0.87; p= 0.001) and strong family support (OR= 0.99; p= 0.017) lowered blood sugar levels in DM patients.Conclusions: High knowledge about DM and strong family support reduce blood sugar levels in DM patients.Keywords: knowledge about DM, family support, blood sugar level, type 2 diabetes mellitusCorrespondence:Ratna Herawati.

Finding the Optimized Frequency of Electric Field on The Attempt of Reducing Blood Sugar Level in Type II Diabetes Patients

A study has been conducted to test the use of electric fields to lower blood sugar levels on rats with type II Diabetes Mellitus. This study uses male rats (Rattus novergicus), aged 8-12 weeks weighing 150-200 grams, with a total of 31 rats. Therapy was conducted by putting rats in a chamber that emits an electric field every day for 1 hour for 28 days. To search for the optimum frequency of the treatment, frequency variations of 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz were given. The electrical charge distribution of the air in the room was then measured, whereas mice blood sugar levels were also measured to reveal the effect of the treatment on cell tolerance to sugar, and to come up with the measurement of insulin levels at the end of the treatment. The results of measurements of the electrical charges in the air were very significant generally showing that the treatment with a frequency of 15 to 120 KHz for 4 weeks in the experimental animals could lower their blood sugar (fasting period), but the success rate significantly occurred at a frequency of 15 kHz. The decrease in fasting blood sugar levels after the treatment was probably due to the influence of the treatment (the influence of an electric field) that improved the regulation of insulin receptors. Improvements in the regulation of insulin receptor activities with high gluconeogenesis may be the cause of a decrease in fasting blood sugar levels that is not accompanied by improved cell tolerance to sugar.

Analysis of factors associated with blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Analysis of factors associated with blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Immediate effect of passive static stretching versus resistance exercises on postprandial blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a randomized clinical trial.

The prevalence of diabetes is rapidly rising all over the globe at an alarming rate. In India, more than 61.3 million people have been presently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is possible to control the circulating blood glucose levels by reducing life style risk factors through physical activities comprising of muscle stretches, aerobic training, resistance exercises (REs), yoga, etc. The aim of this study is to identify and compare the immediate effect of passive static stretching (PSS) versus RE on blood glucose level in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study included 51 participants between the age of 40–65 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus, to study the immediate effect of 60-min PSS (n=25) and 60-min RE (n=26). The outcome measure was blood glucose level which was checked by glucometer (free-style neo). Blood sugar was assessed at 3 points of time that included fasting blood sugar level, 2 hr after the meal and immediately after the exercise regimen. Results of this study showed significant reduction in blood glucose level in subjects according to glucometer with PSS (P=0.000) and RE (P=0.00). However, both groups demonstrated equal effect in terms of lowering blood sugar level immediately after the exercise. The conclusion is both PSS and RE are effective in reducing postprandial blood glucose level in type 2 diabetes mellitus and must be prescribed for the patients who demonstrate difficulty in controlling post prandial spike.

Association between Socio-Demographic Factors and Blood Sugar Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Bangladesh

Background: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the anthropometric and demographic factors and their correlation with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bangladesh. Methods: One hundred fourteen patients (70 males and 44 females) between 30 and 75 years of age from various areas of Bangladesh were screened for T2DM. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) was analyzed by using laboratory kits and spectrophotometric technique. Anthropometric and socio-demographic data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from weight (kg) and height (m) of the individual respondents. Physical activity was categorized based on activity during daily work. Economic condition is defined by respective family income and education level is categorized into 3 levels: illiterate, 0 - 12 years of education and graduate or above. Results: According to the current study results, half of the patients were from the middle-class family with low physical activity and their age was within the range of 30 - 45 years. The male and female ratio of the study population was 60:40. Most of the patients were found to be obese and educated. Urban populations were more prone to have DM than the rural population. Age, education, the area of residence (urban and rural), physical activity and co-morbid diseases were significantly correlated with T2DM in Bangladesh (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that different socio-demographic factors have a significant correlation with T2DM in Bangladesh. Diabetes awareness, early diagnosis, patient education and life-style modification can be initiated to manage T2DM efficiently.

Effect of GSR Biofeedback Relaxation Training on Blood Glucose and Anxiety Level of Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of GSR (galvanic skin resistance) biofeedback relaxation technique on blood glucose and anxiety level of type 2 diabetes patients. The total sample size for this study was 12 diabetes patients include 6 male and 6 female participants. Incidental sampling method was adopted to select the sample. Intervention program for the study was 20 days for each patient. The blood glucose and anxiety level were measured before and after the training on day 1st and 20th. Result indicates that there is significant mean difference between the score of blood glucose in pre and post conditions of the interventions. The blood sugar level of type 2 diabetes patients is lowered in post condition indicating the influence of biofeedback intervention. A sample of adequate size may reveal a significant effect of biofeedback. There is significant mean difference between the score of state – trait anxiety among pre and post test score of type 2 diabetes patients.

Evaluation of Serum Creatinine and Cockcroft-Gault Estimated GFR as an Early Biomarker of Renal Impairment in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Control of blood sugar level in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) cases is of utmost importance in prevention of long term complications like chronic kidney disease (CKD). With an alarming increase of the incidence of Type 2 DM cases the early detection of renal impairment becomes more important. The study therefore was carried out to evaluate whether conventional biomarker like creatinine and creatinine based GFR has any implication or not for diagnosing early renal impairment in such cases. Materials and Methods: 60 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients and 60, age and sex matched healthy controls were included in the study. Routine biochemical markers like FBS, PPBS, Serum urea creatinine, Lipid profile and special parameters like HbA1c and Urine microalbumin level was measured in all of them. Results: We have found out that serum urea and creatinine were not significantly raised in normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric cases as compared to controls. But creatinine based GFR was significantly reduced in microalbuminuric cases when compared to controls but not significantly reduced (p=0.09) in normoalbuminuric diabetics when compared with controls. Conclusion: Creatinine based GFR can help us to diagnose early renal impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus cases.

Development of Novel Floating Delivery System based on Psyllium: Application on Metformin Hydrochloride

psyllium, a medicinally active gel forming natural polysaccharide and a dietary fiber has been used as a medicine in myriad of conditions such as constipation and inflammatory bowel syndrome. One of its more recent uses that have received attention has been its ability to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetics. Therefore present work is an attempt to formulate anti diabetic drug Metformin as a controlled release floating delivery making use of pysllium as release retardant and to assist the drug in stabilizing blood sugar level in type II diabetics. Drug and excipients compatibility studies were monitored by thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and Fourier transform infra red (FTIR). The DSC thermogram and FTIR of drug and drug-polymer mixture did not reveal any incompatibility. psyllium was tried in different concentrations along with other polymers like HPMC K15M and carbopol 940 to achieve the desired release profile. The total drug: polymer ratio was kept between 1:0.4 to 1:0.5, and different polymer combinations were tried to achieve desired drug release for 12 hours. The prepared tablets were evaluated for in vitro release studies and floating behavior. Our conclusion from the present study indicated that pysllium could potentially be used in conjunction with other polymers to formulate controlled release formulations of anti-diabetic drugs to provide better control over blood glucose levels.

Effect of Chromium Picolinate/Biotin Supplementation with Diabetes Education on Blood Sugar Levels in Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot Program

Methods: An open-labeled, 12-week controlled study was conducted to determine the effects of diabetes education with the combination of chromium picolinate (CP) with biotin supplementation on fasting blood glucose (FBG) and PPG levels in people with type 2 DM( N =23) who were on prescribed oral medications for at least the previous 6 months, HbA1c >7%, and at least a one-year history of type 2 DM. These subjects received a combination of CP (300mcg Cr) and biotin (150mcg) twice daily for 3 months. Baseline glucose values were compared to glucose levels at 15 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days treatment. Risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, family history, exercise, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Results: Patients given diabetes education and taking the dietary supplement showed a significant decrease in PPG (p<0.01) and FBG (p<0.05) levels at the end of 3 months supplementation. No significant changes were observed in BMI and blood pressure. Conclusion: The combination of diabetes education with CP and biotin supplement is efficacious, and likely useful as a nutritional adjuvant with hypoglycemic medications to help lower elevated blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. Controlled double blind clinical studies are ongoing to explore the mechanism of action and to study the effect of the CP and biotin combination on diabetes risk factors.
