“…In relation to metabolic control, our results showed that the low level of PA was significantly correlated with higher HbA1c values. These results are similar to those obtained by Palermo et al in the Philippines [28] . However, another study performed in Oman reported no differences in the metabolic control of physically active patients [14] .…”

Introduction Physical activity (PA) is an important element in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. The aims of this study were to assess the percentage of adults with T2DM who perform PA, according to the intensity level and to describe barriers to exercise and the association between metabolic control and other clinical variables. Methods Multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study. Data were collected through the International PA Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the PA Barrier Questionnaire. Adults (18–65 years old) with T2DM from 17 Argentine diabetes centers were included, from May to July 2018. Results A total of 270 men (54.9 ± 9.8 years) and 225 women (55.3 ± 9.6 years) were included. Duration of diabetes: 8.2 ± 6.3 years. The BMI in men was 32 ± 10.6 kg/m 2 , whereas that in women was 32.5 ± 7.2 kg/m 2 . The last two HbA1c values were 7.6 ± 1.7% and 7.5 ± 1.6. Results also showed that 12.7% had clinical heart disease, 13.7% had nephropathy, 20.8% had neuropathy, 6.1% had diabetic foot and 14.1% had retinopathy. The level of PA was low in 52.3% of the patients studied and moderate in 30.5%. The most frequent barriers were: “lack of will” (59.6%) and “lack of energy” (37.2%). The low level of PA was associated with age (OR: 1.05 per year of age; p < 0.001), HbA1c (OR: 1.16 per 1%; p < 0.05), BMI (OR: 1.06 per kg/m 2 ; p < 0.001) and sex (OR: 1.69 for women; p < 0.01). Conclusions PA in a cornerstone in management T2DM. Nevertheless, in this study, 52.3% of T2DM adults showed low level of PA. The main barriers reported were related to low personal motivation. These factors should be taken into account to implement programs to promote physical activity.

“…10 In a cross sectional study done by Palermo among adult patients diagnosed with T2DM seen at the PGH diabetes outpatient clinic during the study period of 6 months from September 2015 to February 2016 revealed that there is no significant association between physical activity, age, occupation, education. 9 In a cross sectional study done by Patil among adult patients attending the Indira Gandhi government medical college, older age was associated with less physical activity (p<0.01) and educational status was not associated with physical activity (p value 0.12). 4 In an analytical observational study done among type 2 diabetic patients attending the Diabetes Center of Hamadan by Fattahi the age and education was associated with physical activity (p<0.001) and occupation was not associated with physical activity.…”

Background: Insufficient physical activity is one of the ten leading risk factors for death among patients with Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes mellitus worldwide. Globally, one in four adults is not physically active. More than 80% of the world's adolescent population is insufficiently physically active. Physical inactivity is very common in India with a prevalence of 54.4%. Lack of knowledge regarding physical activity leads to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes which in turn can lead to death and disability.Methods: The cross sectional study was conducted on patients diagnosed to be diabetic visiting the Out Patient Department of Rural Health Centre Marappadi. Convenient sampling was used and the study was conducted from January 2017 to June 2018 using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire.Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.00±8.747 years. Patients aged 60 years and above had a lower physical activity level. In the older age group, low physical activity was associated with obesity. Adequate motivation was found to be reason for high physical activity level in patients (60.0%).Conclusions: The physical activity levels of the diabetic patients were unsatisfactory especially in the elderly. Low physical activity was associated with poor glycaemic control in the older age group. There is a need to encourage diabetic patients to undertake regular physical activity in order to achieve good health and well-being, optimal glycaemic control and to prevent diabetic complications.

“…According to type of physical exercise the highest percentage of the patients (14(46.7%) work walking as exercise, concerning the how long do you exercise in day the highest percentage of the patients (23 (76.7%) use 30< min in day as exercise. Palermo and Sandoval (2016) revealed that the majority of the patients in UP-PGH Diabetes Clinic had moderate to high physical activity (68.9%). A higher percentage of subjects aged 60 years and above (68.1%; p=0.022) and with poor glycemic control (89.4%; p=<0.001) had low physical activity level as compared to subjects aged 30 to 59 years (31.9%) and with good glycemic control (10.6%) respectively.…”

The study aims to assess the level of type (2)diabetic patients' knowledge toward diabetes control methods and to find out the relationship between diabetic patients' knowledge toward diabetes control methods and their demographic characteristics that include (age, gender, and level of education). A quantitative descriptive study design was carried out at medical wards in Baghdad teaching hospital, for the period of January, 20 th 2019 to April 20 th 2019, data was collected7 th -30 th March2019. The study sample is composed of ( 30) patients who were treated in medical wards at Baghdad Teaching Hospital. The questionnaire consists of two parts; first is concerned with the demographic and personal data for patients; and the second part is concerned with patient knowledge toward diabetes control methods, that include diet, exercise and weight loss. The data have been analyzed through the application of: descriptive analysis that include frequency, percentages; mean of scores, and the inferential analysis that include: Analysis of variance and the researcher used the SPSS version 20 to analysis of data. The study identified that more than half of the study sample (53.3%) were male at age(45-64), in relation to level of education, most of the patients were illiterate. most patients have regular follow up, always use self-blood glucose monitoring practice, (73.3%) were receiving information about diabetes mellitus (DM). (83.3%) have information about diet. Polyuria and Hunger is most specific signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia determined by patients, (66.7%) don't have physical exercise and walking is chosen exercise of patient for 30< min in day. Most patient use has diet adjustment especially in dinner meal. There is no significant difference between patient knowledge and demographic characteristics.
