Description
Introduction:
HbA1C test is a diagnositic tool utilized by providers as a cornerstone in monitoring blood glucose in diabetics and a parameter in determing how well managed the condition is. Although there are many medicinal inteventions for diabetes, it is important to not neglect the positive effect lifestyle modifications such as physical activity may have on overall management. Physical activity is accepted as a tool in improving quality of life, decreasing BMI, and improving insulin sensitivty, so its incorporation in diabetes management may prove to be crucial.
Purpose:
To investigate the effect of physical activity on HbA1C levels in patients with diabetes.
Methods:
Research was conducted using datasets in the 2017-18 CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Laboratory values for glycohemoglobin (HbA1C) levels were aquired. Questionnaire data recording minutes of physical activity per day were acquired and sorted into 3 groups: no activity, moderate activity (< 60 min), and vigorous activity (> 60 min).
Datasets were downloaded via the SAS Universal Viewer and inputted into 2016 Excel to be further sorted for statistical analysis. A one-way ANOVA was performed along with post-hoc analysis via Tukey's test to identify specific group differences.
Results:
Group differences were found to be significant f(2, 5251)= 12.54, p< 0.001.
Post-hoc testing found significant difference between vigorous activity (M= 5.72, SD= 0.94), and no activity (M= 5.90, SD= 1.13). Moderate (M= 5.78, SD= 1.08) and no activity were also significantly different. No significant difference was found between moderate and vigorous activity.
Discussion:
Physical activity proved to decrease HbA1C levels in people with diabetes and incorportating it into a patient's treatment plan is advantageous to improve overall manangement of diabetes.
