“…The present data differ from a recent cross-sectional study published by our group where on large sample of complicated diabetic patients we observed a reduced isometric muscle strength also in the upper body muscle [4]. It is therefore possible that the isometric muscle strength deficit at the upper limbs may be more associated to the presence and severity of diabetic complications and especially DPN.…”

“…Cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations have indicated that type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with reduced muscle strength, quality and power, which is more severe in the lower than in the upper limb [1][2][3]. This decline is further aggravated by the presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) via their effect on motor nerve impairment and muscle blood flow, respectively [4]. Consequently resulting in muscle atrophy, particularly in the distal segment of the lower limb [5,6].…”

“…Conversely, the lack of promoting PA or exercise may cause poor glycemic control, obesity, or macrovascular complications in individuals with T1D [8], although the evidence for this remains unclear [34]. Furthermore, physical inactivity can reduce fitness, such as VdotO 2 max [35] and muscle strength [36], which are important for performing PA. Therefore, we believe that long-time sedentary behavior and lack of strenuous PA resulted in a continuous reduction of glucose uptake and induced high HbA1c levels in this study population.…”

Impact of Self-Reported Sitting Time and Transtheoretical Model Based on Exercise Behavior Change on Glycemic and Weight Control in Japanese Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations among self-reported sitting time (ST), transtheoretical model (TTM) based on exercise behavior change, and glycemic and weight control in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Forty-two adults (age, 44.0 (33.3–56.8) years) with uncomplicated T1D answered questions regarding their lifestyles, including ST per day, and TTM using self-administered questionnaires. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level correlated with age and ST (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively), whereas body mass index correlated with duration of T1D and TTM (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that poor glycemic control (HbA1c, >7%) was associated with ST (odds ratio, 3.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.54–8.11), p < 0.01). In addition, the cut-off points for quartiles of ST were 4.6, 6.0, and 8.0 h/day, and the HbA1c level in the lowest quartile was 15% lower than that in the highest quartile (p < 0.01). Although further studies with larger samples are needed, these results implied that expanded self-reported ST might be related to poor glycemic control in Japanese T1D adults, most of whom were lean, young and middle-aged, regardless of TTM based on exercise behavior change.

“…Ijzerman et al [26] determined decreased maximal contraction strength of plantar and dorsal flexor muscles among people with type 2 DM. Balducci et al [27] claimed that weak ankle-foot muscles are related to denervation of nerves in patients with DM. Furthermore, Cavanach et al [24] indicated that these patients have weak intrinsic foot muscles.…”

Aims: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder which affects whole systems of human body. This study aimed to compare the strength of foot muscles, dynamic balance, and peak plantar pressure between diabetic patients before developing polyneuropathy and healthy peers. Methods: 21 people, 11 diabetic patients and 10 age-matched healthy peers, were included in the study. A manual muscle tester (model 01163 Lafayette) was used to assess muscle strength. Pedobarography was the device to determine the distribution of plantar pressure into nine regions of foot. Dynamic balance was also measured by using a mobile platform (Techno-body, PK 200 WL, Italy). Results: Diabetic and control groups had similar muscle strength and dynamic balance (p > 0.05). Most of the plantar pressure findings were also similar (p > 0.05). There were significant differences in only two regions of foot between two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Diabetes Mellitus is not a factor influencing balance and muscle strength before polyneuropathy. However, it is possible to state that it may negatively affect the distribution of plantar pressure so clinians should assess and treat this distribution in the patients with DM.
