ResumoA Diabetes mellitus é uma desordem metabólica com alta prevalência na população mundial.A mais comum é a diabetes mellitus do tipo 2, quando o corpo torna-se resistente à insulina ou não produz insulina suficiente resultando em redução significativa da expectativa de vida além de aumentar a utilização dos serviços de saúde. O autocuidado com a doença é complicado pela falta de adesão ao tratamento. A educação permanente em saúde surge neste contexto com o intuito de provocar mudança de atitudes e/ou comportamento permitindo a Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 3, e175932566, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i3.2566 2 aquisição de novos conhecimentos sobre diabetes, conscientização, qualificação e atualização dos profissionais de saúde visando a melhoria na qualidade de vida dos diabéticos. Este artigo de revisão visa demonstrar a importância da realização da educação em diabetes em pacientes e profissionais da saúde, bem como dos efeitos benéficos das mudanças nos hábitos de vida em pacientes portadores de diabetes. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura utilizando dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e da internet. Foram analisados 106 artigos e selecionados 18 artigos que respondiam aos objetivos propostos deste estudo. A educação em saúde é reconhecida como parte fundamental no tratamento de pacientes diabéticos. O processo educativo possibilita aos pacientes acesso a ferramentas para desenvolvimento de habilidades em relação ao autocuidado, com vistas a aumentar o nível de conhecimento para o manejo da doença. A educação permanente promove mudanças nos hábitos de vida que incluem dieta saudável, utilização de medicação adequada e a prática de exercícios físicos contínuos, reduzindo os riscos de desenvolvimento de complicações associadas à diabetes ou outras comorbidades associadas. Implementar mudanças no estilo de vida destes pacientes se torna desafiador mas imprescindível para a garantia da qualidade de vida.

The most common is type 2 diabetes mellitus when the body becomes insulin resistant or does not produce enough insulin resulting in significantly reduced life expectancy and increased health care utilization. Self-care with the disease is complicated by the lack of adherence to treatment. Permanent health education emerges in this context in order to bring about change in attitudes and/or behavior allowing the acquisition of new knowledge about diabetes, awareness, qualification and updating of health professionals aiming at improving the quality of life of diabetics. This review article aims to demonstrate the importance of diabetes education in patients and health professionals, as well as the beneficial effects of changes in lifestyle in patients with diabetes.3 process pr...

Background and aims: Chia seeds have been explored owing to its dense concentrations of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, as well as recognized benefit on anthropometric measures. This study evaluated the potential effect of Chia intake on plasma antioxidant status and anthropometric parameters in individuals with chronic diseases. Methods: Fifty-nine participants were selected, including patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and/or hypertension (SAH) and/or obesity (group A, n=34) and healthy volunteers (group B, n=25). Plasma antioxidant status was determined by the MTT (tetrazolium salt) reduction test and weight (W), abdominal circumference (AC), waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI), that were determined before (T0) and after 6 months (T6) of ingestion of 20 g/day of Chia seeds. Results: After Chia seeds consumption, the plasma antioxidant potential increased in both group A and group B (p < 0.0001). It was also observed a reduction in W, AC, WC and BMI in both groups, with all p-values being less than 0.05. High content of antioxidant compounds may explain these effects and polysaccharide gel formation in the digestive tract, which gives satiety and consequently provides a reduction in anthropometric measurements. Conclusion:In the field of nutrition, the chia seed can be a potential alternative to increase antioxidant status and reduce anthropometric measurements, improving the health status of patients, especially those who suffer from chronic disease.
