ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
A chronic disease, type II diabetes that had resistance towards insulin elevated level of glucose. The occurrence of T2DM in Pakistan raised and it is increased by obesity, dietary intake and sedentary lifestyle. Duration of time and the intensity of physical activity have effect on progression of diabetes as low level of physical activity have slight effect on diseases.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the tendency of physical activity in person with type 2 diabetic.
METHODOLOGY:
It was a cross section comparative study. The duration of study was four months and non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. The sample size was calculated by Raosoft which was 293.the International Physical Activity questionnaire was filled by patients. Metabolic Equivalent Task were find out by using IPAQ. Data was analysed by using IBM SPSS version 22. The statistical significance was setup at confidence interval (CI) of 95% i.e. P value of 0.05. For finding association the chi square were considered. Descriptive statistics were analyzed for demographics. Baseline normality was evaluated by using value Shapiro-Wilk.
RESULTS:
A total n=293 participants with mean age of 52.90 ± 9.846. Out of 293 participants 145 (49.5%) were male and 148 (50.5%) were female. The total patients were classified into three group on the basis of their physical activity such as high, moderate and low. Physical activity related to Random Blood Sugar in controlled level of RBS group 18.6% of the patients were high physical active, 40.7% were moderate and 40.7% were low physical active. In Mild RBS group of patients 13.6% were high physical active, 36.4% of the patients were moderate physically active and 50% of the patients were low physical active. In moderate RBS group high MET were 9.2%, 44.6% were moderate and 46.2% were low physical active. With severe RBS high physical active patients were12.3%, moderate were 30.9% and 56.8% were low physical active.
CONCLUSION:
The study showed the physical activity trend is low in insulin resistant diabetes patients. Those individuals with high level of physical activity have good glycemic control. It is concluded from the present study that high physical activity shows significant effect on control of diabetes type 2.
