A New Diabetic Management Using Standardized Diet and Post Meal Plyometric Exercise

Abstract

Prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the world has increased significantly in the last decades. Post meal physical exercise studies could improves blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Plyometric exercise is a simple body movement that usually uses in body weight management. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combination of diet and post meal plyometric exercise on blood glucose levels of diabetic patients. A total of 19 diabetic patients were participated in this randomized control trial study. The control (C) group (10 patients) only received a standardized diet was determine using the IEA recommendation and the treatment (T) group (9 patients) received the same diet and post meal jumping jack for 2 min. Fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were measured in the 1 st and 7 th days of intervention. Mean BMI in C and T groups was > 25 kg/m 2. Reduced mean blood glucose levels in 0 min of the C group (146.90±68.34 mg/dL) in 7 th day intervention were significant lower than 1st day (198.70±91.64 mg/dL). While mean blood glucose levels of the T group in 0, 30 and 60 min at 7 th day intervention (143±53.95; 203.78±79.64; 237±72.76 mg/dL) were significanly lower than 1 st day intervention (179.78±74.17; 254.67±102.73; 287.89±109.44 mg/dL) respectively. Standardized diet and post meal plyometric exercise can decrease postprandial blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Further investigation are required to find appropriate type and duration of post meal exercise, based on individual patients with diabetes.

Acute Effects of Breakfast Fruits Meal Sequence and Postprandial Exercise on the Blood Glucose Level and DPP4 Activity among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Pilot Study

“…We described new data from FBG and DPP4 of 0 and 60 minutes. However, due to the overlapping with the previous pilot study, the characteristic data of participants are partly in accordance with (and with permission to) the previous reports [ 17 , 18 ].…”

“…is is a follow-up from two previous reports of the same preliminary study [17,18]. We have previously reported that after 7 days of treatment, consuming fruit first as the meal (FF) significantly reduced fasting DPP4 activity in patients with T2DM compared to the consumption of fruit as the last meal (FL) [17].…”

“…However, we found no significant decrease in 30 min postprandial DPP4 activity after 7 days of treatment. In another report, we found that 2 min of physical exercise (jumping jacks) significantly decreased blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes [ 18 ]. Previously, it was also known that the physical exercise of jumping jack has health impacts through modifications of endothelial cell function and glucose control [ 19 , 20 ].…”

“…Basic characteristics of research participants were obtained from their medical records at the two primary health cares. Parts of the characteristics (FL and FF) are in accordance and with the permission of our previous studies [17,18]. e glucose control level was assessed by 2 h postprandial glucose level which is the best indicator for glucose control in the absence of HbA1C [22].…”

“…Basic characteristics of research participants from four di erent groups. Parts of this table are in accordance with and with permission from our previous studies[17,18]. θ statistical di erences were performed by one-way anova.…”
