Insulindependent Diabetes

Therapeutic efficacy of diets including texturated soybean products (TSP) is assessed in 30 inpatients with non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), followed up for 28 days. TSP were well tolerated and caused no side effects. Addition of TSP to the traditional diet no. 9 improved the efficacy of correction of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disorders in patients with NIDDM. Increased level of uric acid in the serum, observed during daily consumption of TSP for 2 weeks, requires monitoring of its levels in NIDDM patients with concomitant hyperuricaemia and gout.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of isometric exercises and stretching on postural stability in Non – Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) patients with diffuse symmetrical sensory motor neuropathy. Patients were assigned to an experimental group and amatched control group. The experimental group received isometric exer-cises and stretching three times weekly for 12 weeks in addition to routine medication and dietary advice. A t the end of this period, this group wascompared with the control group, which received routine medication anddietary advice only. Measurements of muscle strength of quadriceps, ham-strings, ankle plantar and dorsiflexors, and Romberg’s test for postural sta-bility were carried out before and after the 12 weeks intervention. The study showed that isometric exercises and stretching for the lower extremities improved postural stability (p = 0.00)and strength of the quadriceps (p = 0.001) hamstrings (p = 0.001) dorsiflexors (p = 0.001) plantarflexors (p = 0.001)in NIDDM patients with diffuse symmetrical sensory motor neuropathy. This exercise regimen also had a loweringeffect on blood glucose level (p = 0.00).  In conclusion it seems that the simple exercise intervention described in thisstudy may be of benefit to these patients if incorporated into their management programmes.
