Project description:Diabetes distress (DD) disproportionately affects vulnerable people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and interventions targeting this population are therefore relevant. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the evidence for an effect of psychosocial interventions for reducing DD, and, secondly HbA1c, depression, and health-related quality of life in vulnerable people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Vulnerability encompasses poor glycemic control (HbA1c >7.5%) and at least one additional risk factor for poor diabetes outcomes such as low educational level, comorbidity, and risky lifestyle behavior. The interventions should be theoretically founded and include cognition- or emotion-focused elements. We systematically searched four databases for articles published between January 1995 and March 2018. Eighteen studies testing a variety of psychosocial interventions in 4,066 patients were included. We adhered to the Cochrane methodology and PRISMA guidelines. Review Manager 5.3 was used for data extraction and risk of bias assessment, and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation for assessing the quality of the evidence. Data were pooled using the fixed or random effects method as appropriate. We investigated effects of individual vs group, intensive vs brief interventions, and interventions with and without motivational interviewing in subgroup analyses. To assess the robustness of effect estimates, sensitivity analyses excluding studies with high risk of bias and attrition >20% were conducted. We found low to moderate quality evidence for a significant small effect of psychosocial interventions on DD, and very low to moderate quality evidence for no effect on HbA1c, both outcomes assessed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months follow-up. The effect on depression was small, while there was no effect on health-related quality of life. Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested that interventions using motivational interviewing and individual interventions were associated with incremental effects on DD. Likewise, intensive interventions were associated with significant reductions in both DD and HbA1c.

Project description:Evidence increasingly indicates that poor sleep quality is a major public health concern. Household food insecurity (HFI) disproportionately affects Latinos and is a novel risk factor for poor sleep quality. Psychological distress may be a potential mechanism through which HFI affects sleep quality. Sleep, food insecurity, and distress are linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.We examined the relations between HFI, psychological distress, and sleep quality and tested whether psychological distress mediates the relation between HFI and sleep in people with diabetes mellitus.Latinos with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 121) who completed baseline assessments for the CALMS-D (Community Health Workers Assisting Latinos Manage Stress and Diabetes) stress management intervention trial completed the US Household Food Security Survey, and measures of depressive symptoms [Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-8)], anxiety symptoms [Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-short], diabetes distress [Problem Areas in Diabetes Questionnaire (PAID-5)], and sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)]. Psychological distress was operationalized with the PHQ-8, PROMIS-short, and PAID-5 scales. We used unadjusted and adjusted indirect effect tests with bias-corrected bootstrapped 95% CIs on 10,000 samples to test both relations between variables and potential mediation.Mean age was 61 y, 74% were women, and 67% were food insecure. Experiencing HFI was associated with both greater psychological distress and worse sleep quality (P < 0.05). Depressive symptoms (adjusted R2: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.27, 3.42), anxiety symptoms (adjusted R2: 1.70, 95% CI: 0.87, 2.85), and diabetes mellitus distress (adjusted R2: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.11, 1.32) each mediated the relation between HFI and worse sleep quality with and without adjustment for age, education, income, marital status, and employment status.Household food insecurity is a common and potent household stressor that is associated with suboptimal sleep quality through psychological distress. Efforts to improve food security and decrease psychological distress may yield improved sleep in this high-risk population. The CALMS-D stress management trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01578096.

Project description:Preclinical models of type 1 diabetes mellitus exhibit marked declines in skeletal muscle health including significant impairments in muscle repair. The present study investigated, for the first time, whether muscle repair was altered in young adults with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes (T1D) following damaging exercise.In this cohort study, eighteen physically-active young adults (M=22.1, SEM=0.9 years) with T1D (n, male/female=4/5; MHbA1c= 58, SEMHbA1c=5.9 mmol/mol) and without T1D (n, male/female=4/5) performed 300 unilateral eccentric contractions (90°s-1) of the knee extensors. Prior to exercise, at 48-hours and at 96-hours after exercise, participants gave a venous blood sample and vastus lateralis biopsy and performed a maximal voluntary isometric knee extension. Skeletal muscle extracellular matrix content, and satellite cell content/proliferation were assessed by immunofluorescence. Transmission electron microscopy was used to quantify ultrastructural damage.Maximal isometric strength was comparable between T1D and their sex-matched control group prior to exercise for both sexes. Immediately following damaging exercise, strength was decreased in both groups but there was a moderate effect size for lower strength during recovery in the T1D group at both 48-hours and 96-hours. Serum creatine kinase, an indicator of muscle damage, was moderately higher in T1D participants compared to controls at rest, and exhibited a small elevation 96-hours after exercise. Immunofluorescence analyses showed satellite cell content was lower at all timepoints in those with type 1 diabetes. T1D participants demonstrated a moderate delay in satellite cell proliferation (as assessed by Pax7+/Ki67+ nuclei counts) after exercise, reaching peak levels of proliferation 48-hours after control participants. Despite these differences, those with T1D did not exhibit greater ultrastructural muscle damage than controls as assessed by electron microscopy. Finally, a transcriptomic investigation of T1D muscle revealed several networks of dysregulated genes involving RNA translation as well as mitochondrial respiration function, providing potential explanations for previous observations of mitochondrial dysfunction in similar T1D cohorts. Our novel findings indicate that skeletal muscle from physically active, young adults with moderately controlled T1D may have a reduced ability to handle, and repair from, damaging exercise. While larger cohort studies are clearly needed, these results suggest that those with T1D may require longer recovery times following damaging exercise.
