Description
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between caloric intake, exercise, self-efficacy, supervision and health status markers in an individual with type 2 diabetes. This study received approval from the Hanover College Institutional Review Board with regard to the use of a human subject.
Methods: One female subject with type 2 diabetes volunteered to participate. The individual was instructed to consume a caloric intake of 1,500 calories and to exercise a minimum of 15 minutes daily. The study was divided into four intervals: baseline for 1 week, intense supervision for 10 weeks, moderate supervision for 10 weeks, and no supervision for 11 weeks, for a total of 32 weeks. Blood glucose was measured daily while body composition and blood pressure were measured weekly. Each month, blood samples were collected and analyzed. In addition, self-efficacy was measured at the start, middle, and end of the study.
Conclusion: The data collection suggests an increased self-efficacy was reported as the subject complied with a decreased caloric intake and increased physical activity. Higher levels of supervision and self-efficacy during weeks 2-21 were led to a higher compliance to the lifestyle program when compared to no supervision in week 22 to 32. As a result of the lifestyle intervention, improvements in blood glucose, body composition, blood pressure, and blood analysis were more evident during higher levels of supervision.
