Effectiveness of Photobiomodulation Therapy on Neuropathic Pain, Nerve Conduction and Plantar Pressure Distribution in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy - A Systematic Review.

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a severe complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The most common symptoms are neuropathic pain and altered sensorium due to damage to small nerve fibers. Altered plantar pressure distribution is also a major risk factor in diabetic peripheral neuropathy, leading to diabetic foot ulcers.

Effect of novel Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe®) on neuropathic pain and maximum plantar pressure distribution among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy.

Background: There is a need for a non-pharmacological approach to reduce pain and plantar pressure in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe®) is a therapeutic modality that works on the principle of physiologic rhythmic oscillations of the body cells. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of MaRhyThe® on neuropathic pain and maximum plantar pressure distribution among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy.

Screening for basal metabolic rate and visceral fat among postmenopausal osteoporosis with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: In people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR) which is associated with level of glycaemic control. Women with postmenopausal osteoporosis have decreased BMR. The aim of the present study is to find the BMR using Meffin-St Jeor predictive equation in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have attained menopause with osteoporosis.

Exercise and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Insulin resistance is a determining factor in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Exercise is known to improve insulin resistance, but a systematic review of the literature is lacking.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on identifying evidence for the effectiveness of a structured exercise intervention program for insulin resistance in T2DM.

Prevalence of Foot Complications in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Community-Based Survey in Rural Udupi.

The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of foot complications among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the rural part of Udupi district, Karnataka, India. A cross-sectional observational study design was conducted in the rural area of Udupi district. In the study, accredited social health activists were trained to screen people with type 2 diabetes mellitus for diabetic foot complications at a community level.

Hand dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus frequently show complications in feet and hands. However, the literature has mostly focused on foot complications. The disease can affect the strength and dexterity of the hands, thereby reducing function.
