Objective To observe the sleeping time and analyze its impact on the psychological state and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes .Methods Convenience sampling was used to recruit 365 patients with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu Province Hospital on Integration of Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine between April 2014 and April 2015 .All the patients were divided into two groups according to the six-hour cut-off point of sleeping time .They were investigated by means of World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF ( WHOQOL-BREF), Diabetes Distress Scale ( DDS) and General Self-Efficacy Scale ( GSES).Data were analyzed by t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test and multivariate regression analysis .Results The average sleeping time was 7.03 h, and the sleeping time of 109 patients was less than 6 h.Patients with less sleeping time had lower quality of life and self-efficacy scores as well as higher diabetes distress scores than those with sleeping time more than 6 h.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Regression analysis showed that sleeping time was the factor of quality of life (β=0.117, P=0.047), self-efficacy (β=0.136, P=0.024) and diabetes distress(β=-0.118, P=0.046).Conclusion Sleeping time affects the psychological state and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes.The medical should pay more attention to the quality of sleep of such patients .

Objective To evaluate the effect of resistance training on glucolipid metabolism in a population with pre-diabetic metabolism (PDM).Methods Sixty persons with PDM were randomly divided into a resistance training group,an aerobic training group and a control group,each of 20 members.The exercise intervention groups exercised 3 times a week for 12 weeks in accordance with the exercise prescription,while the control group was without any regular aerobic exercise or resistance training.Before and after the 3 months of exercise training,fasting blood glucose (FBG),2 hours postpradial blood glucose (PBG),HbAlc,and lipid profile were tested.Body mass index (BMI),waistline,and blood pressure were also measured.Results Before the intervention,there were no significant differences in any of the average values among the 3 groups.In the resistance group,the average FBS (5.52 ± 0.52 mmol/L),HbA1 c (5.92 ± 0.36%) and TG (1.65 ± 0.92 mmol/L) had all decreased significantly after the training.In the aerobic group the average waistline,dilated blood pressure,FBG and HbAlc had decreased significantly.In the control group the average 2hrs PBG and LDL-C had both increased significantly compared to 3 months earlier.Compared with the resistance group,the average 2hrs PBGs were significantly higher in both the aerobic and control groups after the training.Moreover,compared with the aerobic group,the value in the control group was also significantly higher.Conclusion Both resistance training and aerobic exercise can lower fasting blood glucose and HbA1 c in PDM patients without obvious effect on BMI or low density lipoprotein level.Compared with aerobic exercises,resistance training had significant advantages in decreasing 2-hour postprandial blood glucose.

objective To explore the effect of diabetes management program with the goal of behavior changes on behavior change and metabolic index of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods By setting up the diabetes management team,establishing personalized management file,carrying out education program,setting the goal of behavior changes and evaluating goal's trace,One-year management was carried out for 56 cases of type 2 diabetic patients.Patients' behavior changes were evaluated after six months management and one year later the metabolic indexes were contrasted.Results After 6 months management,the rate of goal achievement was 96%,the rate of one year behavior stabilization was 92%,the body mass index (BMI),fasting and postprandial blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) one year later were decreased dramatically.Conclusions There is important significance of diabetes management program with the goal of behavior changes for behavior changes and metabolic indexes control in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective To translate the Female Sexual Function Index(FSFI) into Chinese and establish its psychometric properties among ordinary Chinese people and diabetes patients.Methods A two-phase study design was applied.The Chinese version of FSFI was established by translation and back translation,then the reliability and validity of the FSFI were evaluated.Results The content validity coefficient of FSFI was 0.953.The test-retest reliability in each dimension had good correlations (r value was 0.817~0.922),with the highest correlation coefficient in vaginal lubrication dimension (0.922) and arousal dimension the minimum (0.817).In all samples (including diabetes and non diabetes) a reliability coefficients of the Cronbach alpha of each dimension was from 0.760 to 0.874.The Cronbach alpha of each dimension for the diabetic group was from 0.783 to 0.882,and from 0.757 to 0.865 in the non-diabetes group.Pearson correlation of each dimension was very good in total samples,the diabetes group,and the non-diabetes group.Conclusions The psychometric properties of the FSFI demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability.The Chinese version of FSFI is a reliable and valid measure to evaluate the sexual function in Chinese women.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a 2-year resistance and aerobic training on reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with prediabetes.Methods:A total of 248 patients with prediabetes were enrolled from Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January to April 2014, and Danyang People′s Hospital and The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from May to December 2014.Based on random number table method, the patients were divided into 3 groups: the resistance training group (RT group, 82 cases), the aerobic training group (AT group, 83 cases) and control group (83 cases). Participants in the RT group and the AT group underwent a total of 24 months of exercise training. Changes in indicators (blood glucose,blood lipid, etc.) at baseline and the end of 12 and 24 months among the groups were compared.Results:After intervention, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), blood pressure and homeostasis model 2 insulin resistance index (HOMA2-IR) in the RT and AT groups tended to decrease, and the steady state model 2 β cell function index (HOMA2-β) tended to increase. At the end of 24 months, HbA1c [5.80 (5.43, 6.20) %, 5.70 (5.50, 6.00)% vs. 6.20 (5.70, 6.60) %, all P≤ 0.01], LDL-C [3.07 (2.69, 3.58) mmol/L, 2.97 (2.62, 3.95) mmol/L vs. 3.21(2.54, 3.78) mmol/L, all P<0.05] and HOMA2-IR [0.96 (0.82, 1.47), 1.20 (0.99, 1.43) vs. 1.34 (1.09, 1.51), all P<0.05] were significantly decreased in the RT and AT groups than in the control group. In addition, HOMA2-β [84.50 (60.55, 107.33), 93.00 (78.60, 119.75) vs. 53.40 (37.70, 80.40), all P = 0.001] was significantly increased in the AT and RT groups compared with that in the control group. There were no significant differences in triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL-C) levels between the training groups and the control group (all P>0.05). After adjusting for age, sex and blood pressure, the cardiovascular risk of prediabetes was significantly reduced in RT ( P =0.017) and AT groups ( P =0.018). The Cox regression analyses showed that both the resistance training (HR=0.419, 95 %CI =0.415-0.942, P=0.037) and the aerobic training ( HR=0.310, 95 %CI=0.447-0.866, P=0.026) were protective factors for cardiovascular disease in prediabetic patients after adjustment of age, sex, statins, body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio, which reduced the risks of cardiovascular disease in prediabetic patients by 58.1% and 69.0%, respectively. Conclusions:Two years of aerobic and resistance training interventions have obvious advantages on glycemic and insulin resistance control in prediabetes patients. The resistance training can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and it is, thus, recommended for prediabetic patients without obvious exercise contraindications.
