“…Patients with type 2 diabetes often experience fatigue. This impacts their self-care and quality of life (C. Fritschi & Fink, 2012). Fatigue is defined as a decrease in the capacity to perform physical and/or mental tasks.…”

“…The decrease in muscle strength and quality leads to muscle fatigue and a consequent reduction in work capacity. Long term and chronic fatigue will cause an inability for the diabetes to exercise self-care, resulting in physical disability, emotional distress and insomnia (C. Fritschi & Fink, 2012;Kalra & Sahay, 2018;Lien, Hwang, & Jiang, 2018).…”

“…Antirheumatic drugs that modify the disease, including etanercept, the TNF-α receptor fusion protein, have been shown to reduce fatigue and improve the patient's physical and psychological functioning. Behavioral therapy to overcome fatigue in type 2 diabetes includes weight reduction, changes in diet and changes in sleep pattern (C. Fritschi & Fink, 2012).…”

“…Fatigue is a widespread clinical complaint among patient with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and it has been directly related to poor self-reported health. It is likely to be a key barrier to the successful selfmanagement of diabetes(C. Fritschi & Fink, 2012). The presence of short-and long-term complications of diabetes and their symptoms including the symptoms of hypo or hyperglycemia, cardiac disease, neuropathy, or retinopathy, has also been associated with increased fatigue (Singh & Kluding, 2013).…”

Introduction: Fatigue is often found in people with type 2 diabetes and it is known as Diabetes Fatigue Syndrome. Fatigue is a widespread clinical complaint among people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It has been directly related to poor self-reported health and it is likely a key barrier to the successful self-management of diabetes. The aim of this study was to identify fatigue in type 2 diabetes.Methods: The databases used to identify suitable articles were Scopus, Science Direct and PubMed limited articles published between 2012 and 2019 in English with the full text available. The search utilized the keywords of “diabetes, fatigue, diabetes fatigue syndrome, and type 2 diabetes”. Searching for the articles also used “AND”. Following the search, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria.Results: The studies were classified into 3 groups based on the causes of fatigue. The causes of fatigue involve physiological factors, psychological factors and lifestyle factors.Conclusion: Diabetes fatigue syndrome is defined as a multifactor syndrome of fatigue or easy fatigability occurring in persons with diabetes caused by a variety of lifestyle, nutritional, medical, psychological, glycemia/diabetes-related, endocrine, and iatrogenic factors.

Lower extremity ulcers represent a serious and costly complication of diabetes mellitus. Many factors contribute to the development of diabetic foot. Peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease are the main causes of foot ulceration and contribute in turn to the growth of additional risk factors such as limited joint mobility, muscular alterations and foot deformities. Moreover, a deficit of balance, posture and biomechanics can be present, in particular in patients at high risk for ulceration. The result of this process may be the development of a vicious cycle which leads to abnormal distribution of the foot's plantar pressures in static and dynamic postural conditions.This review shows that some of these risk factors significantly improve after a few weeks of exercise therapy (ET) intervention. Accordingly it has been suggested that ET can be an important weapon in the prevention of foot ulcer.The aim of ET can relate to one or more alterations typically found in diabetic patients, although greater attention should be paid to the evaluation and possible correction of body balance, rigid posture and biomechanics. Some of the most important limitations of ET are difficult access to therapy, patient compliance and the transitoriness of the results if the training stops. Many proposals have been made to overcome such limitations. In particular, it is important that specialized centers offer the opportunity to participate in ET and during the treatment the team should work to change the patient’s lifestyle by improving the execution of appropriate daily physical activity.
