The Impact

IntroductionIn 2015, the worldwide point prevalence for diabetes mellitus was 8.8%. Type D personality was found as being more prevalent in type 2 diabetes than in the general population.ObjectivesWe aimed to reveal the frequency of type D personality and to analyze the impact of type D personality on both quality of life and angiopathic complications, in patients with type 2 diabetes from our region.MethodsA cross-sectional research was performed on 79 outpatients that were monitored for diabetes mellitus at Timisoara diabetes, nutrition and metabolic diseases clinic. Type D personality was assessed with the DS-14 scale. Quality of life was quantified by using the Q-LES-Q-SF scale (Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form). The angiopathic complications were abstracted from medical records.ResultsType D personality was present in 38 subjects with diabetes mellitus (48.10%). Compared to those without type D personality, patients with type D personality and diabetes had significant lower mean scores for the following domains of the Q-LES-Q-SF scale: social relationships (P < 0.001), daily life function (P = 0.027), sexual activity (P = 0.005), to get around physically (P < 0.001), work or hobbies (P = 0.008) and raw score (P = 0.003). Type D personality did not make any difference regarding micro and macroangiopathic complications of type 2 diabetes patients.ConclusionsType D personality, a highly frequent entity, did not make the difference with respect to diabetic complications; however, it may interfere significantly with several facets of the quality of life of these patients. These results should be taken into account for an interdisciplinary approach to these patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Background:To evaluate the differential effect of 2, group-based exercise modalities on quality of life (QoL) in indigenous Polynesian peoples with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and visceral obesity.Methods:Participants were randomized to resistance training or aerobic training performed 3 times per for 16 weeks. The Short-Form 36 was administered at baseline and post intervention to assess 8 domains and physical and mental component scales (PCS and MCS) of QoL.Results:With the exception of Mental Health and MCS, all scores were lower at baseline than general population norms. Significant improvements were documented in several QoL scores in each group post intervention. No group × time interactions were noted. Pooled analyses of the total cohort indicated significantly improved Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Role-Emotional, PCS and MCS. Adaptation ranged from 5%−22%, and demonstrated a moderate-to-large effect (Cohen’s d = 0.64−1.29). All measures of QoL increased to near equivalent, or greater than general norms.Conclusion:Exercise, regardless of specific modality, can improve many aspects of QoL in this population. Robust trials are required to investigate factors mediating improvements in QoL, and create greater advocacy for exercise as a QoL intervention in this and other indigenous populations with T2DM.

The Impact

Aim. To evaluate how health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutions of Yin-Xu, Yang-Xu, and Stasis are related in type 2 diabetes patients. Method. Seven hundred and five subjects were recruited in 2010 for this study from a Diabetes Shared Care Network in Taiwan. Generic and disease-specific HRQOL were assessed by the short form 36 (SF-36) and the diabetes impact measurement scale (DIMS). Constitutions of Yin-Xu, Yang-Xu, and Stasis were then assessed by the body constitution questionnaire (BCQ), a questionnaire consisting of 44 items that evaluate the physiological state based on subjective symptoms and signs. Results. Estimated effects of the Ying-Xu and Stasis on all scales of the SF-36 were significantly negative, while estimated effects of the Yang-Xu on all scales (except for SF, RE, MH, and MCS) were significantly negative. For DIMS, the estimated effects of the Ying-Xu and Stasis on all scales were significantly negative except for Stasis on well-being, while Yang-Xu has a significantly negative effect only on symptoms. Conclusions. This study demonstrates that TCM constitutions of Yin-Xu, Yang-Xu, and Stasis are closely related to a reduction in HRQOL. These findings support the need for further research into the impact of intervention for TCM constitutions on HRQOL in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The Impact

OBJECTIVE: to compare the effectiveness of two educational interventions used by a healthcare provider in the monitoring of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), regarding knowledge of the disease, impact on quality of life and adoption of self-care actions. METHODS: comparative, longitudinal, prospective study performed with 150 subjects with type 2 diabetes, analyzed according to the type of participation in the program (individual and/or group). Participants of the individual intervention (II) received nursing consultations every six months and those of the group intervention (GI) took part in weekly meetings for three months. Data were collected through four questionnaires: Identification questionnaire, Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire (PAID), Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCA) and the Diabetes Knowledge Scale (DKN-A). Data were analyzed using the Friedman and Mann Whitney tests, considering a statistical significance of p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: there was an increase in knowledge about the disease in the II (p<0.003) and GI (p<0.007), with reduction of the impact on the quality of life in the II (p<0.007) and improvement in self-care actions in the GI (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: in both intervention models improvements were observed in the indicators, over the six month monitoring period.
