Abstract
BACKGROUND Reflecting people with diabetes' self-management activities is often required in both research and clinical practice. This study evaluated the measurement properties of the Portuguese version of the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire-Revised (DSMQ-R) on a sample of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Translation and cultural adaptation were conducted according to guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation and validation of healthcare measurement instruments. A cross-sectional study was performed including 365 people with T2DM in primary care. Reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity were analyzed. RESULTS The total scale of the translated DSMQ-R revealed sufficient internal consistency (alpha = 0.82), and most of the subscales performed adequately. The exploratory factor structure was robust, and confirmatory analysis showed a good model fit with the scale structure of the original scale. The scale scores correlated with the participants' last HbA1c estimates, supporting convergent validity, and convergence was confirmed by the adequate average variance extracted. CONCLUSIONS The Portuguese version of the DSMQ-R is a reliable and valid tool for gauging self-management behaviors in people with T2DM and their relationship with glycemic values.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex chronic disease associated with major health and economic consequences, also involving important issues in the psychosocial sphere. In this regard, T1D-related distress, defined as the emotional burden of living with T1D, has emerged as a specific entity related to the disease. Diabetes distress (DD) is an overlooked but prevalent condition in people living with T1D, and has significant implications in both glycemic control and mental health in this population. Although overlapping symptoms may be found between DD and mental health disorders, specific approaches should be performed for the diagnosis of this problem. In recent years, different DD-targeted interventions have been postulated, including behavioral and psychosocial strategies. Moreover, new technologies in this field may be helpful to address DD in people living with T1D. In this article, we summarize the current knowledge on T1D-related distress, and we also discuss the current approaches and future perspectives in its management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the expressions of glycemic parameters, lipid profile, and thyroid hormone in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and their correlation. METHODS Eighty-four patients with T2DM in our hospital were included as the observation group. The T2DM patients were divided into mild group, moderate group, and severe group according to the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level. Another 84 healthy subjects in the same period of health examination in our hospital were included as the control group. The levels of glycemic parameters, (HbA1c and FPG), lipid profile (TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C) and thyroid hormone (FT3, TSH, and FT4) were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The correlation between glycemic parameters, lipid profile, and thyroid hormone was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS The FPG, TC, TG, LDL-C, HbA1c, and TSH levels were significantly elevated, while the HDL-C and FT3 levels were significantly declined in the observation group versus to control group (p < .05). The levels of HbA1c, FPG, TC, LDL-C, and TSH were significantly increased, while the levels of HDL-C and FT3 were decreased in moderate and severe groups, when compared to mild group (p < .05). The levels of HbA1c, FPG, TC, LDL-C and TSH were higher, while the level of FT3 was lower in severe group than those in moderate group (p < .05). Pearson Correlation analysis showed that FT3 level in T2DM patients was positively correlated with FPG, HbAlc, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (p < .05), but negatively correlated with HDL-C level (p < .05). TSH level was negatively correlated with FPG, HbAlc, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (p < .05), while positively correlated with HDL-C level. CONCLUSION The thyroid hormone levels were of clinical significance in evaluating glycolipid metabolism and severity of T2DM. Clinical detection of glycolipid metabolism and thyroid hormone levels in T2DM patients is of great significance for diagnosis, evaluation, and targeted treatment of the disease.

[PMID: 38783917 PMCID: PMC11112083 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1362076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background A potential association between the onset of diabetes and normal birth weight (NBW) has been discovered. Diverse conclusions and study methodologies exist regarding the connection between low birth weight (LBW) and impaired glucose tolerance in children, underscoring the need for further robust research. Our institution is embarking on this study to thoroughly examine the association between LBW and impaired glucose tolerance in children. Methods We conducted searches on Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature data (CBM) online database, VIP full-text Database, and Wanfang Database to identify correlation analyses or case-control studies investigating the relationship between LBW and abnormal glucose tolerance in children. The search spanned from January 2010 to September 2023. The quality of observational studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool. Data synthesis was performed using the statistical software RevMan 5.3 for meta-analysis. Results Based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we finally included 10 clinical control studies consisting of a total of 2971 cases. There wasn't considerably change in blood sugar levels among LBW, NBW and high birth weight (HBW) infants (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in insulin levels between LBW infants and NBW infants (P > 0.05). The HOMA-IR of LBW infants was considerably higher than that of NBW infants (P < 0.05). The risk of abnormal glucose tolerance in LBW infants was 0.42 times higher than that in NBW and HBW infants [Fisher's Z = 0.42, 95% CI = (0.09, 0.75), P = 0.01]. Conclusion LBW is associated with an increased risk of abnormal glucose tolerance, as indicated by elevated HOMA-IR level in LBW infants compared to NBW and HBW pediatric population. Further research is needed to confirm and expand upon these findings to better understand the complex relationship between LBW and impaired glucose tolerance in children.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To identify recent literature evaluating the efficacy of psychosocial and behavioral interventions for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). RECENT FINDINGS Interventions generally produce benefits for psychosocial and behavioral outcomes, and some also positively impact glycemia. Addressing psychosocial concerns during routine provider visits had mixed results; some studies found that structured tools improved well being, while others found they could derail conversations, or contribute to worsening glycemia due to a lack of time to review medical concerns. Integrating behavioral health providers in routine care, however, had a positive impact on glycemic outcomes. Stepped care interventions show promise for both children and adults, as they maximize available resources while contributing to improved well being. Group interventions, delivered either virtually or in-person, demonstrated benefits for diabetes distress, depressive symptoms, family conflict, and health behaviors, but had limited impact on positive parenting skills. Gaps in the current literature include limited research among adults and no research among older adults, as well as a lack of pragmatic research emphasizing implementation of effective interventions. SUMMARY A wide range of interventions have demonstrated positive impacts on well being among people with T1D; more research is needed to identify strategies to routinely integrate psychosocial and behavioral support in clinical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycemic control is an important issue in the treatment of diabetic patients. However, traditional methods, such as medication (the usual treatment), have limitations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be a useful option to help control the glycemic condition. The effects can be revealed by systemic review or meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCT). METHODS A systematic search and a meta-analysis for the RCT were done of the short- and long-term effects of CBT on the glycemic control of diabetic patients in a comparison with the usual treatment. Nineteen RCT studies and 3,885 diabetic patients were enrolled in this meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses of types 1 and 2 diabetes and individual and group CBT were also performed. RESULTS Patients treated with CBT showed no significant difference in HbA1c when compared to the usual treatment within six months. However, CBT was more effective in reducing HbA1c when compared to usual treatment with at least six months of treatment duration [standardized mean difference: -0.44 (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.63 ~ -0.25), Z = 4.49]. Subgroup analysis of type 1 and 2 diabetic patients supported a long-term effect of CBT on glycemic control [standardized mean difference: -0.85 (95% CI: -1.19 ~ -0.10), Z = 2.23, standardized mean difference: -0.33 (95% CI:-0.47 ~ -0.19), Z = 4.52, respectively]. CONCLUSIONS CBT would be a useful option for improving the glycemic control of diabetic patients undergoing long-term treatment. The advantages of the long-term effects of CBT should be considered by clinicians and staff.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disorders reflected by high blood glucose levels and lack of hormone insulin. Notably, T2DM patients are three times more likely to report depression than the general population. Conventional exercise training programs have been shown to be beneficial for T2DM, but less is known regarding the effects of Baduanjin exercise on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and psychological measures among this unique group. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of Baduanjin exercise on HbA1c, depression, and anxiety among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with emotional disorders. METHODS The potential literature was searched from six electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Wanfang, and CNKI) from their inception to July 2022. The randomized controlled studies that investigated the effects of Baduanjin on HbA1c, depression , and anxiety in T2DM with emotional disorders were included. The effect sizes were calculated using the random-effect models with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was employed to assess the study quality. RESULTS Eleven studies involving 755 T2DM participants with emotional disorders were analyzed in this study. The pooled results showed that Baduanjin had significant improvements in HbA1c (SMD = 0.75, 95% CI 0.46 to 1.04, p < 0.001), depression (SMD = 0.69, 95% CI 0.30 to 1.08, p < 0.01) and anxiety (SMD = 0.98, 95% CI 0.44 to 1.53, p < 0.01) compared to the control group. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that Baduanjin exercise may effectively alleviate HbA1c, depression, and anxiety among T2DM patients with emotional disorders. However, more well-designed studies are required to further substantiate the promising findings.

Abstract
Both type 2 diabetes and depression are common and are projected to increase. There is increasing evidence for a bidirectional relationship between the two. Diabetes is a risk factor for depression; contrariwise, individuals with depression are at greater risk of developing diabetes. They are a burden for both the individual and the society. Co-existent depression worsens diabetic control because of obesity, insulin resistance and the adverse metabolic effects of anti-diabetes medicines. In addition, compliance to lifestyle measures required for diabetes is also compromised such as following a specific diet, taking proper medications on time, getting metabolic parameters assessed and maintaining a sleep cycle. Depression occurs in many grades; mild depression is more common in diabetes than frank or full-blown depression leading to suicide. Unfortunately, there are not enough trained and accessible mental health professionals such as psychologists or psychiatrists to deal with the increasing burden of depression in diabetes. Therefore, alternate models for management of mild to moderate depression are required. There is evidence that a team-approach by employing health care assistants can lower the risk of cardiac risk factors. INtegrating DEPrEssioN and Diabetes treatmENT study was carried out to determine whether the team-approach using non-health care professionals could be effective in managing mild to moderate depression and to study its effects on metabolic parameters among subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The international study, carried out in four independent centers in India assessed the impact of a trained but not qualified non-psychiatrist in coordinating and forming a fulcrum between the patient, the family and the consultant endocrinologist/diabetologist. The interventions were fine-tuned to be culturally appropriate by qualitative interviews before they began. It was shown that the outcomes of both depression and diabetes could be improved by the employment of a clinical care coordinator. It is possible to scale up the studies to wider geographical areas and health-care organizations.

Abstract
AimsMeasurement tools to evaluate self-management behavior are useful for diabetes research and clinical practice. The Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) was introduced in 2013 and has become a widely used tool. This article presents a revised and updated version, DSMQ-R, and evaluates its properties in assessing self-management practices in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).MethodsThe DSMQ-R is a multidimensional questionnaire with 27 items regarding essential self-management practices for T1D and T2D (including diabetes-adjusted eating, glucose testing/monitoring, medication taking, physical activity and cooperation with the diabetes team). For the revised form, the original items were partially amended and the wording was updated; eleven items were newly added. The tool was applied as part of health-related surveys in five clinical studies (two cross-sectional, three prospective) including a total of 1,447 people with T1D and T2D. Using this data base, clinimetric properties were rigorously tested.ResultsThe analyses showed high internal and retest reliability coefficients for the total scale and moderate to high coefficients for the subscales. Reliability coefficients for scales including the new items were consistently higher. Correlations with convergent criteria and related variables supported validity. Responsiveness was supported by significant short to medium term changes in prospective studies. Significant associations with glycemic outcomes were observed for DSMQ-R-assessed medication taking, glucose monitoring and eating behaviors.ConclusionsThe results support good clinimetric properties of the DSMQ-R. The tool can be useful for research and clinical practice and may facilitate the identification of improvable self-management practices in individuals.
