BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with diabetes. Patients with diabetes have higher rates of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness and increased incidence of restless leg syndrome. The purpose of our study was to investigate the prevalence and determine the predictors of sleep dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes in a southeast Asian Indian population. METHODS W...

back ground: nowadays diabetes is considered as the most common metabolic disorder and an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. diabetes has not definitive treatment but the progression of the disease and its related complication could be prevented properly by proper diet. the aim of current study is to determine the relation between fruit and vegetable consumption and physical ...

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sleep condition and autonomic nervous function of women in their 70s with type 2 diabetes mellitus by analyzing the activity counts (AC) on actigraphs and heart rate variability (HRV). Ten healthy women in their 30s to 40s as control and four women patients with type 2 diabetes in their 70s wore the electrocardiograph and an actigr...

AIMS The purpose of this study was to explore the burden and impact of non-severe nocturnal hypoglycaemic events (NSNHEs) on diabetes management, patient functioning and well-being in order to better understand the role that NSNHEs play in caring for persons with diabetes and facilitate optimal diabetes treatment management strategies. METHODS A 20-min survey assessing the impact of NSNHEs wa...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by defect in insulin secretion and action resulting in hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients have deranged body metabolisms particularly for lipids which may result in abnormal levels of serum levels of lipids. Methods: The aim of this study is to find any possible correlation between the the glycosylated hemoglobin and the...

Although all young children nap, the neurophysiological features and associated developmental trajectories of daytime sleep remain largely unknown. Longitudinal studies of napping physiology are fundamental to understanding sleep regulation during early childhood, a sensitive period in brain and behaviour development and a time when children transition from a biphasic to a monophasic sleep-wake...

BACKGROUND Evidence from laboratory and epidemiologic studies suggests that decreased sleep duration or quality may increase diabetes risk. We examined whether short or poor sleep is associated with glycemic control in African Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study of volunteers with type 2 diabetes interviewed at the University of Chicago Hospit...

Sleep problems and diabetes mellitus are increasing in prevalence. Although it is unclear if they related, a number of related studies implicate such relationship. A In this review, the significance sleep will be reviewed by summarizing relationships between sleep, circadian rhythm, disorders, mellitus. Also, mechanisms influence reviewed. addition, although relationship mainly has focused on t...

OBJECTIVES To examine the relationship between glycemic control in Type 2 diabetics and sleep duration and quality of sleep. METHODS There were 220 adult non-insulin dependent diabetics (Type 2) with 69 males and 151 females. The mean age was 59.4 +/- 9.2 yrs (Mean +/- SD), mean BMI 35.6 +/- 9.9 kg/m2, and mean HbA1c 8.2 +/- 2.1%. Detailed questions about history and management of diabetes, h...

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effects aerobic and strengthening exercise combination on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), muscle strength, balance, sleep quality in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Material Methods: Fifty aged between 30 65 years DM were included study. Anthropometric measurements, HbA1c, quadriceps hamstring evaluated. Aerobic exercise...
