Evaluating the Effect of Standard Nutrition-Exercise on Glucose and Lipids Level on Type 2 Diabetic Patients: An Intervention Study

Background: Diabetes was one of the most important metabolic and public health diseases all over the world. It was the most commonendocrine disease caused by metabolic disorders. Type 2 diabetes is rapidly progressing in world. The incidence of diabetes is predicted todouble in the following 20 years. Objectives: The current study was aims to evaluate the effect of standard nutrition and exercise on glucose and lipid levels in diabeticpatients. Patients and Methods: It was an intervention study whose target population is consisting of 120 diabetic patients who had referred toPARSIAN Diabetes Research Center. Sampling size has been non-randomly selected. Mean and standard deviation are quantitative dataapplied in this study. T-test and independent sample T-test have been respectively utilized to compare changes within and between thegroups. The amount of p-value has been calculated less than 0.05 which indicates statistical significance. Results: The achieved findings shows that glucose level has significantly decreased in experiment group using a pretest-posttest design(P < 0.05). Conclusions: Eight-week standard nutrition and regular exercise have significant effect on decrease of glucose level, insulin resistanceand plasma lipoproteins. It is suggested to apply these programs in diabetes centers.
