Summary: Regular aerobic exercise alone or in combination with resistance training is effective for improving quality of life in adults with type 2 diabetes. This improvement appears to be mediated by improvements in the physical components of health-related quality of life and is associated with improved blood glucose control.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the relationship between patient empowerment and other empowerment-related constructs, and affective symptoms and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. The review found weak-to-moderate inverse associations between patient empowerment-related constructs and anxiety and depression, moderate negative correlations with distress, and moderate positive correlations with general quality of life. Small associations were also reported between empowerment-related constructs and mental and physical quality of life.

Summary: Diabetes mellitus is not statistically significantly associated with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), although it may lead to functional limitations, physical pain, and psychological discomfort. Dentists can play an important role in raising awareness about these issues and improving OHRQoL in individuals with diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and quantify factors associated with the prescribing of specific antidiabetic drug classes. The results showed that patient age, baseline BMI, HbA1c, and kidney-related problems were significantly associated with the choice of different antidiabetic drug classes, while sex had a smaller impact on prescribing decisions.

Summary: The study reveals a significant association between MAP and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), highlighting the potential impact of MAP prevention and environmental control on T1DM management. However, the relationship between MAP and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uncertain and requires further data to determine their association.

Summary: This meta-analysis summarized the results of previous studies on the association between the chemokines system and T2DM/PDM. The findings revealed that concentrations of certain chemokines were significantly higher in T2DM patients compared to controls, while no difference was found in PDM patients.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of physical activity and nutrition-based interventions on children with type 1 diabetes. The findings showed that physical activity and nutrition-based interventions did not have a significant impact on glycemic control. However, the results highlighted the potential of these interventions in improving glycemic control and health-related quality of life.

Summary: The study found that negative emotional experience is positively related to diabetes-related distress, while the skill at regulating these emotions is negatively related to diabetes-related distress, with a medium-size relationship between these emotional regulation variables and diabetes-related distress. The data suggest that diabetes-related distress in adults with diabetes is meaningfully linked to negative emotionality and skill at regulating such emotions, with a stronger relationship than perceived psychological stress or diabetes self-care.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of type-2 DM in Ethiopian population. The pooled prevalence of DM in Ethiopia was 6.5%, with identified risk factors including older age, illiteracy, cigarette smoking, MBI >= 25, family history of DM, history of hypertension, and physical inactivity. Awareness of these risk factors is crucial for effective prevention and management of type-2 DM in this population.

Summary: This study systematically summarized the evidence on diet and all-cause mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that higher intake of fish, whole grain, fiber, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were inversely associated with all-cause mortality. Uncertain or no association was observed for other dietary factors.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with obesity, hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), individually and in combination. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Punjab, Pakistan. The findings showed that these diseases individually reduced HRQoL, and the presence of multiple diseases had a more detrimental impact on HRQoL.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes accounts for nearly 90% of global diabetes cases, with an increasing number of affected individuals, particularly among young people. Early detection and proactive management are crucial for preventing complications and reducing mortality. Technology and precision medicine offer potential improvements to treatment outcomes but face significant barriers.

Summary: This study assessed the association between insulin regimens and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that, while all insulin regimens improved HRQoL, the single basal insulin regimen was preferred in terms of HRQoL if the same HbA1c control was achieved. The basal-bolus regimen had the most potential to increase HRQoL, but it was associated with different patient characteristics compared to the single basal insulin regimen.

Summary: The prevalence of self-care behaviors among people with T2DM in South Asia is low, indicating an urgent need to investigate the barriers to self-care and implement interventions to improve diabetes self-care behavior in this population.
