Purpose: This study was done to assess the effects of a self-help intervention on clinical, lifestyle and psycho-social outcomes in patients with Type II diabetes. Methods: Eligible adults with Type II diabetes were randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving the diabetes self-help or the control group receiving usual care. Of the 36 patients who completed the study, 15 were in the intervention group and 21 were in the control group. The self-help group consisted of six weekly sessions covering aspects of diabetes self-care and using continuing education, discussion, and structured social activities. Outcomes included changes in glycemic control, knowledge, self-management behaviors, diabetes-related self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life. Analysis of covariance was used to compare outcomes between the groups, adjusting for baseline measures. Results: After the six week intervention, significant improvements from the baseline were observed in the measurements of self-management behaviors, diabetes-related self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life for the intervention group. Conclusion: The findings provide preliminary evidence that a diabetes self-help group intervention can benefit diabetes patients in self-management behaviors, diabetes-related self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life. However, larger longitudinal studies are needed to determine the most efficacious self-management methods to sustain long-term glycemic control and psychological well-being.

Increasing body weight is closely associated with increasing risk for glucose intolerance and type II diabetes. Especially, abdominal distribution of weight and visceral obesity also seriously increase the morbidity and mortality. Dietary program including very-low-calorie diet(VLCD) is regarded as most effective in the control of obesity and diabetes, which mainly due to calorie restriction rather than weight loss itself. We are reporting a case of diabetes with obesity whose fast glucose was over 220 mg/dl and BMI was $25.1kg/m^2$(fat rate 32.8%, WHR 0.9). She was prescribed VLCD and oriental medical diet program. After 10 days of hospitalization, her glucose level dropped dramatically with 3kg loss of body weight She has further lost her weight until about 53kg, but the glucose level ceased to go down probably due to loosened calorie restriction.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore and describe how two patients diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus were successfully cured solely through the use of herbal medicine. Methods: The patients were administered the herbal medicine to reduce symptoms of stress-induced fever with dryness. The prescribed herbal medicines included Yangkyuksanwha-tang, Hyungbangsabaek-san, Hyungbangjihwang-tang, and Hyungbangdojeock-san. Results: The therapeutic outcomes showed that all numerical levels of symptoms such as thirst, polyuria, weight loss, blood sugar, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) recovered to within normal levels. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that our medical treatment of type II diabetes mellitus diagnosed as Sogal was a valid treatment. We hope that our team's new evidence and findings will shed positive light on the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus using herbal medicine.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the antidiabetes effects of Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli in type II diabetes mellitus model mice. Methods : The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups and treated for 50 days as follows:control group, pharmacopuncture group and extract administration group. The effects of Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli were observed by measuring body weight, blood glucose, insulin, insulin immunoreactivity of the pancreas and subpopulation of splenocytes. Results : Cinnamomum cassia sample groups were reduced a little body weight than control group. Glucose level of extract administration group lowered than control and pharmacopuncture group. Insulin immunoreactivity of Aconitum carmichaeli extract group appeared more effective than control and pharmacopuncture group. Conclusions : This study shows that Cinnamomum cassia and Aconitum carmichaeli have a distinct antidiabetes effect in type II diabetes mellitus model.

The purpose of this study was to develop the customized diet education game (Roly-Poly 160) for type II diabetes and to test its effectiveness. The diet education game for type II diabetic is composed of three kinds of modules as Meal self-management, Card Game, and Quiz Game. Meal self-management was developed to manage the dietary information of each day and to observe changes in the 12-month period. Card game is to find a changed card based on the recommended meal menu during a limited time and Quiz game is to learn knowledge while solving the quizzes about diet. Data was collected from September 28th to October 28th, 2016 at C hospital and G hospital in G district, and 5 times for 1 hour for every 30 people with type II diabetes who applied for diabetic diet education. Knowledge of diabetes and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose were measured repeatedly before and after the experiment. After the Roly-Poly 160 experiment, the knowledge of type II diabetes was statistically significantly increased (p = 0.04), and the fasting blood glucose and the 2 hour postprandial blood glucose decreased statistically decreased (p <.05) and Roly-Poly 160 game clinical efficacy was verified.

Background: Early detection of neuropathy may prevent further progression of this complication in the diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of early neuropathic complication in patients with newly diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Methods: Nerve conduction studies (median, ulnar, posterior tibial, peroneal, and sural nerves) were performed for 49 type 1 (27 males, mean $14.1{\pm}7.5$ years) and 40 type 2 (27 males, $42.0{\pm}14.1$ years) diabetic patients at onset of diabetes. Children with age at onset under 4 years and adults over 55 years were excluded to eliminate the aging effect and the influence of obstructive arteriosclerosis. Neuropathy was defined as abnormal nerve conduction findings in two or more nerves including the sural nerve. Results: Mean HbA1c level was $12.6{\pm}3.3%$ for type 1 and $10.5{\pm}2.9%$ for type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of neuropathy was 12.2% for type 1, and 35.0% for type 2 diabetes, respectively. There were significant trends in the prevalence of neuropathy with increasing age (p<0.05). The effect of the mean level of glycosylated hemoglobin on the prevalence of polyneuropathy at onset of diabetes was borderline (p=0.0532). Neither sex of the patients nor the type of diabetes affected the neurophysiologic abnormalities at the diagnosis. Conclusions: Even in a population with diabetes at the diagnosis, the prevalence of subclinical neuropathy was not low. Neuropathy has been significantly associated with increasing age indicating the possibility of longer duration of undetected diabetes among them, especially in type 2 diabetes.

Lifestyle change in the world is spawning an epidemic of Global Obesity. (Newsweek August 11. 2003) People with overweight are at great risk of developing Type II diabetes. The A1C value provides an objective assessment of glucose control over the previous six to eight weeks. The American Diabetes Association recommended values for blood glucose and A1C appear in TABLE 4. In case one who was found to have >7% HbA1C, he(she) may be a patient with pre-DM or DM II. (omitted)
