Abstract Background: Individuals with diabetes mellitus both have difficulty in solving problems in daily life and have similar difficulties with self-care regimens. We examined the effect of occupation-based intervention supported with problem-solving therapy of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus on participation and satisfaction of meaningful occupations, diabetes-related psychosocial self-efficacy, preferred coping strategies and individual well-being. Methods: This study was planned as a single-blind, randomized controlled study with 3-months’ follow-up involving sixty-seven adults with type 2 diabetes. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, the Diabetes Empowerment Scale, the Brief COPE and the Five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index were used. The intervention was conducted in 6 modules, and each implemented about 60 minutes and for 1 session per week. The six modules included evaluations, diabetes education, and problem-solving therapy. The most important feature of the program is its focus on meaningful occupations for the person and provided an opportunity for the participants to apply problem-solving therapy through valued occupation. Differences between groups were analysed with the Mann Whitney U test, and the Friedman test was used to calculate group-time interaction differences (i.e. baseline, after six modules and after three months). Results: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus in both groups identified the most significant meaningful activity problems in self-care as personal care. Significant improvement was reported in the intervention group when compared to the control group regarding the participation in meaningful occupation, the satisfaction of performance, psychological self-efficacy and well-being results (p<0.001) after the six modules and 3 months follow-up. The participants' use of the effective coping strategies, active coping and acceptance strategies, self-efficacy as revealed results showed improvement in favor of the intervention group (p<0.05). The intervention group showed significantly improving between measurements at baseline and after three months of modules except for ineffective coping style (p<0.001). Conclusions: The person-centred occupation-based problem-solving therapy encourages participation in meaningful occupations, positive effects on psychological self-efficacy, and improves effective coping styles and well-being of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Problem-solving therapies that incorporate individuals’ priorities via meaningful occupation could be used to supported to lead a meaningful life of individuals of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) is high among Chinese adults with diabetes. Assessment of OP and fracture risk as well as patient education should be included as part of the management of diabetes. Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to test the effectiveness of an educational self-efficacy intervention on knowledge about OP, dietary calcium intake, the importance of physical activity (PA), and glycemic control among Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes residing in Wuhan, China. Method: A quasi-experimental design with repeated measures was employed. Participants were assigned to either the intervention ( n = 23) or the control group ( n = 23). Intervention participants attended 6 weekly 1-hr educational sessions comprising presentations, demonstration, and discussions. Control participants received standard care. Data were collected via questionnaires at pre- and postintervention and at 3-month follow-up, and blood was drawn at preintervention and 3-month follow-up. Results: Participants in the intervention group had significant improvement in OP knowledge, F(2, 43) = 11.504, p < .001; OP self-efficacy, F(2, 43) = 6.915, p = .003; dietary calcium intake, F(2, 43) = 7.856, p = .002; level of PA, F(2, 43) = 4.787, p = .011; diabetes self-care activities, F(2, 43) = 14.009, p < .001; diabetes self-efficacy, F(2, 43) = 19.722, p < .001; and glycemic control (A1C level; t = 2.809, p = .010) compared to the control group at the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the effectiveness of OP prevention education based on self-efficacy theory among Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND A significant cause of morbidity and mortality, Type 2 diabetes affects 30 million Americans. Self-management support (SMS) is an important component of chronic illness care and is a key pillar of the Chronic Care Model. Face-to-face teaching and patient education materials suffer from being static or incompatible with mobile lifestyles. Digital applications (apps) provide an SMS alternative that is convenient and scalable. OBJECTIVE This pilot study tested the real-world deployment of a self-guided mobile app for diabetes education (titled Time2Focus), which utilizes evidence-based content and gamification to deliver an interactive learning experience. METHODS Primary care providers were approached for permission to invite their patients to participate. Eligible patients were 18 to 89 years of age, had a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥8% and <12% in the past 3 months, an active online patient portal account (tied to the electronic health record), and access to an iOS or Android smartphone. Interested patients were emailed a baseline survey, and once this was completed, sent instructions for downloading the Time2Focus app (MicroMass Communications, Inc; Cary, NC). After completing all 12 levels, participants were sent a follow-up survey. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes included medication adherence, self-care activities, self-reporting of physical activities, diabetes self-efficacy, illness perceptions, diabetes distress scale, and users’ engagement with and rating of the app. RESULTS Of 1355 potentially eligible patients screened, 201 were consented. One hundred (49.7%) did not download the app. Seventeen (8.4%) downloaded the app but completed zero levels. Twenty-six (12.9%) completed 1 through 4 levels, 10 (5.0%) completed 5 through 11 levels, and 48 (23.9%) completed all 12 levels. Those completing one or more levels had a mean pre-/post-HbA1c change of -0.41% (compared to -0.32% among those who completed zero levels). The unadjusted 2-tailed t-test was not statistically significant (p=0.73). Diabetes self-efficacy showed a large and significant increase during app usage (ΔM=1.28, p<.001, d=0.83). Severity of illness perceptions showed a small but significant decrease during app usage (ΔM=-0.51, p=.004, d=0.43). Diabetes distress showed a small but significant decrease during app usage (ΔM=-0.45, p=.006, d=0.41). Net Promoter Score (NPS) was 62.5, indicating those who completed all levels of the app rated it highly and would recommend it to others. CONCLUSIONS Participants who used the Time2Focus mobile application showed an improvement in diabetes self-efficacy and a decrease in severity of illness perceptions. The decrease in HbA1c observed in app users relative to nonusers during this limited pilot study was not statistically significant. However, uptake and application of lessons learned from SMS may be delayed. Further research is needed to address how to increase engagement through SMS and to investigate if follow up over a longer period of time demonstrates significant change in outcomes like HbA1c.

This research is to evaluate the lasting effects of a community-based self-management intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes at 2-year follow-up in China. Five hundred patients with diabetes were recruited and randomly divided into intervention group and control group. Eight times standardized self-management intervention group activities were conducted. The results of physical examination, biochemical laboratory examination, health behavior, and self-efficacy information were collected before intervention, 3 months after intervention, and 2 years after intervention. The total score for self-efficacy in the intervention group increased from 96.12 ± 17.48 to 112.90 ± 14.58 after intervention and decreased after 2 years (106.98 ± 18.03; F = 6.64, P = .0014). The number of days of self-blood glucose monitoring in the intervention group was increased from 1 day per week to 2 days per week after intervention, and 2 days per week at 2-year follow-up ( F = 8.02, P = .0003). The frequency of average number of aerobic exercises in the intervention group increased from 6 days per week to 7 days per week after intervention and was 7 days per week at 2-year follow-up ( F = 3.63, P = .0269). Community-based self-management group intervention for patients with diabetes has long-term effects.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on circulating levels of magnesium and selenium in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 126 adult Saudi patients (55 men and 71 women, mean age 53.6 ± 10.7 years) with controlled T2DM were randomly recruited for the study. All subjects were given vitamin D3 tablets (2000 IU/day) for six months. Follow-up mean concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) vitamin D] significantly increased in both men (34.1 ± 12.4 to 57.8 ± 17.0 nmol/L) and women (35.7 ± 13.5 to 60.1 ± 18.5 nmol/L, p < 0.001), while levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreased significantly in both men (1.6 ± 0.17 to 0.96 ± 0.10 pmol/L, p = 0.003) and women (1.6 ± 0.17 to 1.0 ± 0.14 pmol/L, p = 0.02). In addition, there was a significant increase in serum levels of selenium and magnesium in men and women (p-values < 0.001 and 0.04, respectively) after follow-up. In women, a significant correlation was observed between delta change (variables at six months-variable at baseline) of serum magnesium versus high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (r = 0.36, p = 0.006) and fasting glucose (r = - 0.33, p = 0.01). In men, there was a significant correlation between serum selenium and triglycerides (r = 0.32, p = 0.04). Vitamin D supplementation improves serum concentrations of magnesium and selenium in a gender-dependent manner, which in turn could affect several cardiometabolic parameters such as glucose and lipids.
