  Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease that is clinically characterized by hyperglycemia. Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds namely alpha-linolenic acid, dietary fibre and proteins that can be useful for diabetic patients.Materials and Methods: In the present study the effects of flaxseed bread made with a mixture of flaxseed flour and wheat flour were evaluated on blood glucose of patients with type 2 diabetes. Flaxseed flour was incorporated in wheat flour. Flaxseed bread was included in the meals of thirty patients with Type 2 diabetes for 14 days. The blood biochemistry profile (BBP) was monitored before starting the study and at daily intervals.Results: The results showed that fasting blood sugar (FBS) in the experimental group decreased considerably (p=0.05).Conclusion: This study demonstrated the efficacy of flaxseed flour in the BBP of Type 2 diabetes. Intake of flaxseed bread caused a considerable decrease in fasting blood sugar in the patients. Manuscript profile

  Purpose: Diabetes is one of the diseases can have psychological causes, in addition to medical causes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based art therapy on depression, anxiety and stress among patients with type 2 diabetes.Methodology: The present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group waiting for treatment. The research sample consisted of 50 people with type 2 diabetes who were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received mindfulness-based art therapy for 12 sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. To measure psychological variables, the short-form version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) was used. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance by SPSS/25 software at a significance level of α = 0.05.Findings: The results of one-way analysis of covariance showed that a period of mindfulness-based art therapy significantly reduced depression and anxiety in patients with type 2 diabetes (p <0.05) but did not have a significant effect on stress in patients with type 2 diabetes (p>0.05).Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, this intervention is recommended to promote mental health in people with type 2 diabetes.

  Based on the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus isolated from dairy products on blood glucose in diabetic rats. Isolation and characterization of Lactobacillus from dairy products were performed using biochemical and molecular tests. In this study, treatment was performed on 49 male Wistar rats with a mean age of approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Rats were divided into 7 groups of 7 each. In the intervention group, Lactobacillus ruteri and Lactobacillus plantarum were used. At the end of 4 weeks, weight changes and blood glucose levels of the rats were compared to the positive and negative controls. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test for comparison of variables. The results showed that during one month the mice were exposed to Lactobacillus bacteria had the highest weight in the fourth week and the lowest weight in the first week of the study. A significant decrease in blood glucose level was observed in the groups consuming L. plantarum and L. ruteri. The present study showed that intervention of Lactobacillus without altering diet or specific diet in rats can significantly decrease blood sugar in the bacterial group. Considering the effect of the studied bacteria on blood glucose reduction, it can be claimed that Lactobacillus can be suggested as an adjunctive treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  Background and Objective: Diabet mellitus is a chronic disease. In this disorder, due to abnormal glucose metabolism, direct and indirect complications in many organ systems, including ocular, cardio-vascular, vernal, and cerebral and suppression of immune system have been occurred. Decreasing of both cellular and humoral immune system is a important factor for opportunistic infections. Prevention and control of these infections and recognize of their frequency and risk factor is very important. Material and Methods: In this study, 118 diabetic patients that admitted in Islamic Azad University hospitals were included. Chief complaint of every patient, important finding in clinical examinations and results of microbial culturing from opportunistic infections had been analyzed. Result: From 118 patients, 65 cases (55%) were female and 53 cases (45%) were male. Mean age of patients was 59.6 ± 11.7 years old and mean duration time of disease was 13.6 ± 7.8 years. Thirty one cases (26.1%) infected by opportunistic bacterial. From patient's samples (in microbial culturing), 12 cases (38.5%0 Escherichia coli, 9 cases (29%) fungal pathogens, 5 cases (16.3%0 staphylococcus aurous and 5 cases (16.3%0 Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. Conclusion: Because of high frequency of infections in diabetic patients, using of preventing methods is important. On the other hand, diagnostic and treatment of these infections prevent from their complications. Manuscript profile

  Background and purpose: Diabetes is a chronic disease that physiological, cognitive, behavioral, emotional and social factors play a role in its prevention, reversal and control. The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting blood sugar level based on ego binding, health boundaries and post-traumatic growth in type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and methods: In the current study, 50 people were randomly selected in a multi-stage cluster among those who had referred to diabetes treatment centers such as Taban Diabetes Clinic and Diabetics Association in Tehran. Information was collected through three questionnaires, including ego strength, health boundaries, and post-traumatic growth. Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the research data. Findings: The results of the present study show that there is a significant positive relationship between blood sugar levels (HbA1c) and ego strength, health boundaries and post-traumatic growth.
