MONTES DELGADO, Roberto et al. Manejo del estrés para el control metabólico de personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. En-clav. pen [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.13, pp.67-87. ISSN 2594-1100.
The aim of the study was to teach adults the use of techniques for stress management in order to obtain a relaxation response and improve the metabolic control of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). There were 8 adults 25% women and 75% men (the rank of age went from 43 to 69 years). A non-probability sampling by convenience was used. The investigation had three phases; retrospective line base (90 days), treatment (56 days) and follow up (90 days). To know if learning these stress management techniques improved the metabolic control of DM2, a test of Glycosylated Hemoglobin (A1C) was taken before and after the treatment. The participants were taught to register their glucose levels, and practice techniques for stress control (Focused attention on breathing, muscular relaxation, guided imagery, cognitive reorganization, physical activity and social support). In conclusion, the treatment allowed 7 of the 8 patients to improve or maintain the metabolic control of their DM2.
