Abstract

To investigate the locus of control in patients with type 2 diabetes followed by systemic group education (Group Care) and traditional one-to-one care. In a post-hoc analysis, two questionnaires were administered to 56 patients who had been followed for 5-7 years by Group Care and 51 controls followed by individual care, similar by age, sex, diabetes duration, glycaemia, insulinaemia, weight and other clinical variables. Patients on Group Care had lower HbA1c (7.40 +/- 1.21%) than controls (7.99 +/- 1.48%), P = 0.027. The Peyrot and Rubin questionnaire, specific for diabetes, and the Wallston and Wallston questionnaire, more generic for chronic diseases, were administered. Both questionnaires explore 3 areas: internal control of disease, and the role of chance or powerful other people, including health operators, in changing the disease. Both questionnaires showed lower scores for chance in patients followed by Group Care (P < 0.001), while scores for powerful others did not differ from those of patients followed by traditional care. The Peyrot and Rubin tool showed increased Internal Control (P < 0.001) in the patients followed by Group Care. Multivariate analysis showed that the HOMA index of insulin resistance was inversely ...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
