Health literacy is the first step to self-management of type II diabetes mellitus, of which physical activity is the least compliant behavior. However, no reviews have summarized the effect and the process of interventions of health literacy oriented programs on physical activity behavior among middle aged and older adults with type II diabetes mellitus. This article is the first to examine the effectiveness of health literacy oriented programs on physical activity behavior among middle aged and older adults with type II diabetes mellitus. This systematic review extracted articles from nine electronic databases between 1990 and 2013. Six interventional studies were extracted and reported in accordance with the guidance of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Findings demonstrated that health literacy oriented programs increased the frequency and duration of physical activity among patients with high health literacy. Although some studies effectively improved the health literacy of physical activity, gap in literature remains open for the indistinct and unreliable measurement of physical activity within self-management programs of type II diabetes mellitus, and the questionable cross-culture generalizability of findings. Further studies with well-knit theorybased intervention with respect to patients’ cultural background, duration of intervention and objective measurements are encouraged to elucidate the relationship between health literacy oriented programs and physical activity behavior.

This study aimed to assess patients’ levels of belief, benefits and barriers toward physical activity, and to identify factors associated with physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study was carried out using cross-sectional correlation design. Subjects from the endocrinology and metabolism outpatient departments of a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan were recruited by consecutive sampling. A total of 149 patients with type II DM were recruited. More physical activity was associated with stronger physical activity beliefs, including recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy, which explained 40.9% of variance in physical activity performance. Patient-centered physical activity programs (resistance exercise, daily walking, or Tai Chi exercise) can reduce patients’ barriers toward performing physical activity.

Abstract. The relation between glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion (immunoreactive insulin and C-peptide) was studied in middle-aged males matched for age and body weight. Subjects with mild type II diabetes mellitus were compared to normals and to individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). In addition, the diabetics were subdivided according to duration, some of the subjects having recently deteriorated from IGT status. In the IGT individuals, there were no indications of a reduction in basal or glucose-induced insulin output. On the contrary, data indicate somewhat higher than normal secretion. Within the type II diabetics, those of short duration were largely similar to normals, whereas diabetes of longer duration was associated with some diminution in indices of B cell secretion. The data support the notion that a deficient insulin output is not a primary pathophysiological event in the development of type II diabetes.

Controlling blood sugar levels is the main goal of nursing interventions that will be carried out in Diabetes Mellitus patients. Patients with diabetes mellitus are advised to always have a healthy lifestyle every day. Control blood sugar in DM patients by regulating diet such as: regulating the amount of food, type of food and frequency of eating hours and doing activities (sports). Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM), including Diabetes Mellitus, has now become a serious threat to global health. Quoted from WHO 2016 data, 70% of the world's total deaths and more than half of the disease burden. 90-95% of diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes, which is largely preventable because it is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. (Ministry of Health, 2018). Solok City has cases of Diabetes mellitus sufferers in four Puskesmas where there are 284 KTK Puskesmas working areas, while the number of visits to Type II Diabetes mellitus sufferers in the KTK Puskesmas work area is 50 people. Based on the results of research that has been carried out in the Working Area of the KTK Kota Solok Health Center, it was found that more than part (66%) of the respondents 'blood sugar levels were abnormal (high), more than part (64%) of the respondents' diet was not appropriate and more than some (60 %) respondents do not do physical activity regularly. There is a relationship between a diet that is not in accordance with abnormal blood sugar levels and there is a relationship that does not do physical activity with abnormal (high) blood sugar levels in the Working Area of the KTK Kota Solok Health Center. It is hoped that health workers will remind people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, about the importance of dietary regulation in controlling blood sugar levels and carrying out regular physical activity (exercise) so that it can help in controlling blood sugar levels so that blood sugar levels can be controlled.
