Validity of the Arabic International Physical Activity Questionnaire to Measure Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity in People with Diabetes.

Purpose: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the Arabic version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with accelerometer-measured MVPA in people with diabetes.

Methods: From 2020 to 2022 physical activity was measured people ≥18 years with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in Kuwait. Self-reported MVPA was measured over 7 days with the Arabic version of the IPAQ.

The effect of timing of remotely supervised exercise on glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes during Ramadan: A randomised crossover study.

Aim: The aim of the current study was to compare glucose responses when remotely supervised exercise was performed before or after breaking the fast, during Ramadan, in people with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: People with type 1 diabetes were recruited to this randomised cross over design study, which took place in Kuwait during Ramadan in 2021-2022. Interstitial glucose was measured using continuous glucose monitors during a baseline week of normal activity and during weeks where remotely supervised exercise was performed, three times per week, either before (afternoon) or after (evening) breaking the fast, in a randomised crossover design.

Risk of mortality among inpatients with COVID-19 and type 2 diabetes: National data from Kuwait.

Introduction: To investigate type 2 diabetes as a risk factor for COVID-19 death following hospital admission in Kuwait.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study using data from a central hospital that cared for all hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Kuwait. We investigated the association between type 2 diabetes, with COVID-19 mortality using multiply imputed logistic regression and calculated the population attributable fraction.
