“…Especially when combined with diabetes education, SMCBG is acknowledged as a relevant educational tool for the adjustment of the nutritional plan, exercise, and pharmacological treatment, as it allows the patients to achieve glycemic control in real time (17) . However, healthcare services must still check systematically whether the patients use the equipment in an appropriate manner and make the means available to help in the interpretation of results at home, aiming at a better management of the disease.…”

RESUMOEstudo transversal que teve como objetivos descrever as características sociodemográfi-cas e clínicas e analisar o conhecimento de pacientes com diabetes mellitus sobre o tratamento após cinco anos do término de um programa educativo. Foram entrevistados, em 2010, 40 pacientes que, em 2005, haviam participado de programa de educação em diabetes, oferecido por um período de 12 meses, em um serviço de atenção primária. Utilizou-se formulário contendo: conceito, fisiopatologia e tratamento da doença, exercício físico, alimentação, cuidados com os pés, automonitorização da glicemia capilar no domicílio, hipoglicemia, complicações crônicas, situações especiais e apoio familiar. Os resultados mostraram que foram incorporados conhecimentos em relação a conceito, fisiopatologia e tratamento da doença, atividade física, cuidado com os pés, automonitorização, cuidados com hipoglicemia, complicações crônicas e situações especiais. Por outro lado, alimentação e apoio familiar necessitam de maior incremento. Concluiuse que, decorridos cinco anos do processo educativo, houve retenção da maior parte dos conhecimentos ministrados. The results showed that the volunteers incorporated the information about the notion, physiopathology, and treatment of the disease; exercise; foot care; self-monitoring; care associated with hypoglycemia; chronic complications; and special situations. In contrast, nutrition and family support require further reinforcement. It is concluded that five years after the end of the educational program, the participants kept most of the information provided. DESCRITORES

“…These health units were selected because they are located in the Western District and are linked to the University of São Paulo. The study population consisted of 401 people with DM enrolled in the home Self-monitoring of Capillary Blood Glucose Program (SCBG), (11) implemented in November 2005, in accordance with Municipal Law No. 10.299/04, which establishes standards of protection for people with diabetes to guarantee supplies for SCBG at home.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus. It is a crosssectional study, which was conducted from August 2-28, 2012 in two basic health units, in the interior of São Paulo. A convenience sample, made up of 75 patients, 18 years old or older, both sexes, in a group of self-monitoring of blood glucose, was used. The Diabetes 39 (D-39) Instrument Evaluation, containing five dimensions: energy and mobility (15 items), diabetes control (12), anxiety and worry (4) social overload (5) and sexual behavior (3), was used. Quality of life proved to be highly affected in the items related to the social overload dimension: embarrassment for having diabetes, being called diabetic and diabetes interfering with family life. The elucidation of the assessed factors contributes to the planning of educational programs, insofar as they may hinder the achievement of metabolic control in patients with diabetes.Descriptors: Quality of life.

Trata-se de estudo transversal, realizado de 02 a 28 de agosto de 2012, em duas unidades básicas de saúde do interior paulista. A amostra foi constituída por conveniência de 75 pacientes, com idade igual ou maior a 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, em um grupo de automonitorização da glicemia capilar. Utilizou-se o Instrumento de Avaliação de Diabetes 39 (D-39), contendo cinco dimensões:"energia e mobilidade" (15 itens), "controle do diabetes" (12), "ansiedade e preocupação" (4), "sobrecarga social" (5)

BackgroundThe single or combined use of herbal and dietary products with medications has shown benefits in the metabolic modulation of carbohydrates, in the restoring of the function of pancreatic beta cells, and in insulin resistance. To analyze the effect of the use of flour made from the rind of the yellow passion fruit on the glycemic control of people with diabetes mellitus type 2.MethodsAn open, prospective, randomized clinical trial was undertaken with 54 participants over an eight-week period. The participants from the case group were advised to ingest 12 g of the flour, three times daily; before breakfast, lunch and dinner.ResultsAfter eight weeks of use of the flour made from the rind of the yellow passion fruit, we did not identify significant statistical differences in the values for capillary blood glucose (p = 0.562), fasting blood glucose (p = 0.268) or glycated hemoglobin (p = 0.229) between the study groups. In the case group, we identified an increase (29.6%–37%) of the people with normal HbA1c; however, this did not have statistical relevance (p = 0.274).DiscussionBased in our findings, we believe it is important to extend the time of exposure to the intervention and increase the rigor in the monitoring of adherence in future studies on this topic. Only in this way will we be able to make confident inferences in relation to the use of flour made from the rind of theyellow passion fruit as a therapeutic tool for glycemic and/or metabolic control in persons with DM 2.ConclusionsIn the sample in question, the use of the flour made from the rind of the yellow passion fruit, over an eight-week period, did not improve the glycemic control of people with type 2 diabetes. Trial registration: U1111.1187.3616. Registered 6 September, retrospectively registered, in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry.
