BackgroundHealth literacy is the ability of a person to acquire the process, understand the necessary health information, and make the health services needed for conscious health decisions. Low levels of health literacy can impair the healthcare and treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Besides, diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder that affects patients' quantity and quality of life. Health literacy means cognitive and social skills, with the motivation and ability to understand and use health information, helping individuals maintain and promote their good health. This study focused on determining the factors that affect the health literacy status of type 2 diabetes patients through the role of the demographic variables.MethodologyThis descriptive-analytical research survey recruited a sample based on 280 diabetic patients at the Diabetes Research Center of Ayatollah Taleghani Hospital in Kermanshah in 2020 through a cross-sectional study design. This study selected the diabetes patients using the technique of a simple random sampling and study applied the tools of demographic information questionnaire and the functional, communicative and critical health literacy scale (FCCHL) to collect data of diabetes patients. This study used the SPSS version-23 on the received data sets to perform statistical analysis, including t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression, to predict the factors affecting health literacy among diabetes patients.ResultsThe results showed the mean age of the participants 55.80±13.04 of diabetes patients. The mean and standard deviation of the health literacy score in diabetic patients indicated 2.70±0.44, respectively. The findings specify that there is a statistically significant relationship between health literacy, gender, education, occupation, income, and place of residence. The most robust predictors of health literacy are income variables (β=0.170), age (β=0.176), and employment (β=0.157).ConclusionThe results of this research study specified that the health literacy rate of individuals with diabetic type 2 is an average level. The potential communicative and critical health literacy influence essential for communication and education for diabetes patients in the settings of the primary health care system. The findings indicate that communicative and critical health literacy related to patients’ management and patients with functional health literacy looks passable in this study. The health information specialists need to recognize diabetes patients’ demographic variables according to their needs. Health professionals’ abilities to deliver health education resources seems critical, as it would improve health-related behavior by increasing literacy level.

“…In healthy person, the effects of smoking can be devastating, and in case of diabetics, these effects will be worsened. The blood levels will be constricted, and the cholesterol levels will be increased due to smoking [83][84][85][86]. It also often leads to impotence.…”

Diabetes can be defined as a metabolic disorder characterized by resistance to the action of insulin, insufficient insulin secretion, or both. In this article, we reviewed about the non-pharmacological approaches in the management of diabetes mellitus that includes diet and stress management programs such as Pranayama, meditation, and exercises along with the lifestyle modification which has to be followed by the diabetics for the better management of diabetes in natural ways. By following, these approaches besides regular usage of medications one can lead a healthy life with very less complications. The quality of life can be increased in the patients who follow these methods when compared to those patients who do not consider any of these methods in their daily life. Not only the patient, a healthy individual but can also prefer these methods to prevent chronic diseases and make their day to day life happy and healthy.

Incidences of Diabetes mellitus (DM) gets worsen on frequent long-haul travel in different time zones and sedentary lifestyle. An extensive review of the published articles related to diabetes, the effect of lifestyle modification (exercise and diet) and travelling of diabetic people across different time zones were done and these were accessed from Pubmed-Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Lancet and Diabetes Care. The study done by different scientists were compared and interpreted for the worsening of cases of DM. For long-haul travel in different time zones, it was observed that, due to metabolic disturbances, serious consequences of DM were observed in flight, but that can be prevented if pre-advice are taken by the patients and strictly followed. The cumulative incidences of diabetes of 10 cases were compared and mean cumulative incidences of control group (following sedentary lifestyle) was 42.77% and of intervention group (following healthy diet and moderate physical activity) was 22.11% confirming that implementation of the healthy diet and exercise as regular physical activity caused the lowering of cumulative incidences of diabetes. According to the research conducted on frequent flyers and sedentary lifestyle, the hypothesis quoted by various scientists is that DM is a metabolic disorder which easily gets affected by the frequent changes in the metabolism leading to its high incidences. Thus, the concept of chronobiology comes into light that requires more research to correlate the disturbed biological rhythm (Circadian cycle) to the incidences and severity of DM condition (worsening or increased incidences of DM).
