- BACKGROUND
This study was performed to examine the status of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the community and effects of related factors on heart rate variability (HRV). METHODS: The author conducted HRV testing, a questionnaire survey, and blood chemistry analysis for fasting blood sugar (FBS) and HbA1c levels in 855 patients in a community over a period of 10 days, from August 14 to 25, 2006. The subjects were divided into a DM group and normal group by our study criteria. RESULTS: The proportion of DM was 12.6% and increased with old age. The mean measures of HRV (SDNN, Tp, Vlf, Lf, Hf, Lf/Hf) in the DM group were 22.7 (1.6) msec, 364.9 (2.7) msec2, 174.1 (3.0) msec2, 88.1 (3.2) msec2, 55.3 (3.2) msec2, and 1.6 (2.6), respectively, while those in the normal group were 32.2 (1.6) msec, 676.6 (2.8) msec2, 295.7 (3.1) msec2, 169.2 (3.4) msec2, 117.2 (3.2) msec2, and 1.4 (2.6), respectively. All parameters except for Lf/Hf were significantly lower in the DM group than in the normal group (P < 0.01). The Spearman's correlation coefficients between HRV and FBS or HbA1c were SDNN -0.222/-0.244 (P < 0.01), Tp -0.211/-0.212 (P < 0.01), Vlf -0.149/-0.132 (P < 0.01), Lf -0.188/-0.235 (P < 0.01), Hf -0.207/-0.204 (P < 0.01), and Lf/Hf (P > 0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the DM group had a reduced HRV and increased pulse rate in comparison with the normal group. According to our results, the HRV test may be used accessorily for the early detection of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and its related factors, as well as to prevent CAN.

- BACKGROUND
This study was carried out to examine the changes in the health behaviors and glycemic control before and after administering a Diabetes Mellitus (DM) education program in a clinic. METHODS: The author conducted a questionnaire and analyzed the blood chemistry with the fasting plasma blood sugar (FBS) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 80 patients in a clinic for 6 months from February to July 2004. The study group was divided into a poorly controlled (PC) group and well-controlled (WC) group according to the FBS or HbA1c level. The author then educated the subjects about general knowledges for DM over a 6-month period. The changes in the results before and after the DM education were measured as the changes in the health behaviors along with the changes in the FBS, and HbA1c levels. RESULTS: The study subjects contained 20 males and 20 females in each groups, and the major age group was the fifth decade (22 cases, 27.5%). The mean values for the total health behavior scores after the DM education program in the PC and WC group were 16.2 +/- 1.9, and 16.2 +/- 1.7 respectively, and were significantly higher than that before the education program (11.4 +/- 2.1, 15.3 +/- 1.9, P < 0.05). The mean FBS levels after the DM education program in the PC and WC groups were 130.2 +/- 22.8 mg/dL, and 116.2 +/- 16.6 mg/dL respectively, and was significantly lower than that before the education program (186.3 +/- 33.5 mg/dL, 135.3 +/- 16.3 mg/dL, P < 0.05). The mean HbA1c levels after the DM education program in the PC and WC groups were 7.0 +/- 0.8%, and 6.2 +/- 0.4% respectively, which were significantly lower than that before the education program (9.2 +/- 1.4%, 6.5 +/- 0.4%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that a DM education program in a clinic is effective in improving the health behaviors and laboratory findings in DM patients.
