Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) comprises a group of metabolic disorders that share the common feature of hyperglycemia. It is closely linked to change in lifestyle such as decreased physical activity, a change in diet to the one of high-fat, high-energy intake, and rapid modernization into a western society. Patients with DM can be managed by lifestyle modifications in the form of diet, physical activity, and psychological assessment with care along with drugs. In this, we studied the effects of comprehensive lifestyle modifications and their effect on glycemic control, blood pressure, lipid profile, body weight, and 24 h urinary protein for the management of DM. Material and Methods: This study was performed between November 2015 and May 2016 at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna. Lifestyle modification included diet instruction, exercise, weight reduction programs, and de-stressing session. Body weight, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), serum triglyceride, serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), blood pressure, and 24 h urinary proteins were measured at baseline and after 6 months of lifestyle modification program. Results: The results of lifestyle modification after 6 months of lifestyle modification were favorable with a mean reduction in HbA1C, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and 24 h urinary protein are 0.09, 3.32, 16.88, 00.64, 3.68, 2.04, and −232.04, respectively. Conclusion: Comprehensive lifestyle management is an important aspect of diabetes management.
