Fatigue, Exercise, and Diabetes

描述（由申请人提供）：疲劳是糖尿病患者（DM）的一个重要问题，其后果可能会破坏参与糖尿病自我管理行为的能力。参加运动可能特别容易受到疲劳的影响。令人惊讶的是，与糖尿病疲劳相关的研究非常有限，留下了很大的知识空白。为了更好地了解糖尿病疲劳及其后果，将对1型和2型糖尿病患者进行横断面研究。提出的疲劳的生理，心理和行为相关的模型将被用作组织框架。该提案的目的是(a)描述疲劳对糖尿病患者生理和心理相关因素的影响，(b)探索1型和2型糖尿病患者之间体验的差异，以及(c)描述疲劳、运动行为和运动能力之间的相互关系。描述性相关和回归分析将被使用。研究结果将有助于了解疲劳在运动行为和能力中的作用，并最终为旨在增加糖尿病患者体育活动的干预提供框架。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fatigue is a significant problem in people with diabetes (DM), the consequences of which can undermine the ability to engage in diabetes self-management behaviors. Exercise participation may be especially vulnerable to the effects of fatigue. Surprisingly, there is only limited research related to fatigue in diabetes, leaving a significant gap in the knowledge. In order to better understand diabetes fatigue and its consequences, a cross-sectional study of individuals with type 1 and type 2 DM will be undertaken. A proposed model of the physiological, psychological, and behavioral correlates of fatigue will be used as an organizing framework. The aims of the proposal are to (a) describe the impact of physiological and psychological correlates of fatigue in individuals with DM, (b) explore differences in experiences between individuals with type 1 and type 2 DM, and (c) describe the interrelationship between fatigue, exercise behavior, and exercise capacity. Descriptive correlation and regression analyses will be used. Findings will help to understand the role fatigue plays in exercise behaviors and capacity, and ultimately provide a framework for interventions aimed at increasing physical activity among people with diabetes.
