Similar
to a highly developed country, these days the rapid and parallel increase in
sedentary lifestyle and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is becoming one of the major public health concerns of
Ethiopia. Despite the fact that pharmacological medicines are mostly ordered by
physicians as a treatment modality to T2DM, regular physical exercise and healthy diet habits
are not well understood and practiced throughout society. Previous studies also
documented that the latter two approaches are the two key management tools for
diabetes and it assists in preventing diabetes-related health complications,
insulin resistance, and T2DM. The present study examined the difference in body
weight and fasting
plasma glucose (FPG) improvement in 16 moderately overweight male individuals having
T2DM
for 10wks intervention,
to this end experimental with retrospective cohort study design was used. After qualified, the recruitment criteria subjects
were randomly
categorized into two groups, i.e. experimental (n = 8) and control (n = 8). Individuals who have received a supervised exercise
program and close dietary advice were compared with those who were engaged in self-directed
exercise and also have their own eating habits over the study program. To analysis, the data, dependent t-test and Pearson’s correlation were used. In
all cases, the statistical significance threshold was P < 0.05. At the end
of the intervention, significant bodyweight reduction and FPG improvement were
observed in the experimental group as compared to their counterparts. Therefore,
it was concluded that professionally supervised regular exercise with a close dietary
practice should be the main choice of individuals having T2DM in order to manage and achieve sustainable body weight
control and FPG for better health and treatment modalities.
