    First exercise reports of diabetes center in Turkey: effects of exercise on metabolic parameters in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus
    (EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA, 2021) ŞENOCAK, EMRE; Sertbas, Yasar; Uner, Ozden E.; Sertbas, Meltem; Senocak, Emre; Gozkan, Rahime; Kotan, Melike; Ardic, Asligul; Timurtas, Eren; Ozdemir, Ali
    BACKGROUND: The current study aimed to show the efficacy of the exercise program performed by the type-2 diabetic patients in the exercise center related to the diabetes clinic. METHODS: This was a retrospective study, conducted on 77 (18-65 years old) diabetic patients who were attending the exercise center of the outpatient diabetes clinic. Patients who completed 3 months of supervised combined exercise program and having no chronic drug adjustment for 3 months at the beginning and during the exercise interval were recruited to the study. RESULTS: After 3 months, supervised combine exercise program, there were significant improvement of BMI (34.62 vs. 33.14 kg/m(2), P<0.001), fat mass (34.95 vs. 33.83 kg, P<0.001), fasting blood glucose (124.59 vs. 117.39 mg/dL, P=0.015), HbA1c (6.74 vs. 6.45, P<0.001), and triglyceride levels (177.78 vs. 167.50 mg/dL, P=0.038). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, as a real-life data the supervised combine exercise program, performed in the exercise center of the diabetes clinic, significantly improved the metabolic parameters of the patients. We believe that diabetes clinics should include exercise centers, which are controlled by experts, to provide more qualified management for diabetic patients.

    Technology-based and supervised exercise interventions for individuals with type 2 diabetes: Randomized controlled trial
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2021) TİMURTAŞ, EREN; Timurtas E., Inceer M., Mayo N., Karabacak N., Sertbas Y., Polat M.G.
    Aims: The purpose of this study was to estimate, for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the extent to which glycemic control was affected by a 12-week program using mobile app and wearable smartwatch in comparison to supervised exercise training. Methods: This study was a stratified, randomized, assessor-blind, controlled, pragmatic trial with three parallel groups which were supervised, mobile app and wearable smartwatch. Individually tailored exercise regimens delivered through a supervisor, mobile app and wearable smartwatch. Programs consisted of aerobic, resistance exercises, calisthenic, flexibility, balance, and coordination exercises. Primary outcome was change in glycemic control (HbA1c); secondary outcome was Six Minute Walk Test; and explanatory outcomes were exercise behaviour, muscle function, and physical capacity. The groups were contrasted for change in HbA1c and absolute reduction of ≥0.5% (Minimal Important Change). Linear and logistic regressions were used to compare the groups and generalized estimated equations were used to analyze the explanatory outcomes. Results: In total, 90 people were randomized, 6 were lost over 12 weeks, leaving 84 with outcome data. The difference in HbA1c did not differ between the supervised and the technology groups combined and between the mobile app and smartwatch group. Proportions of people achieving a clinically meaningful difference on HbA1c between the supervised and technology groups were similar (46% vs 43%) and the associated OR was 0.87 (95%CI:0.34−2.28). Within the two technology groups, proportions of people achieving a clinically meaningful difference in HbA1c were 48% in the mobile app and 38% in the smartwatch groups and the associated OR was 0.65 (95%CI:0.21−2.03). The groups did not differ on secondary and explanatory outcomes. Conclusions: The results of our trial provide evidence that all outcomes have improved in all groups regardless of the exercise delivery method. Considering the supervised programs are not available for everybody, technological options are crucial to implement to help individuals self-manage most aspects of their diabetes. © 2021
