Introduction and aim. Arterial stiffness (AS) has been associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The aim of this study was to verify if there is a relationship between augmentations index (AIx), as an index for AS assessment, and CRF in individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Material and methods. Observational cross-sectional study including 32 individuals diagnosed with T2DM who performed two evaluations: 1. Arterial stiffness assessment using SphygmoCor and 2. CRF throughout a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill ergometer. Oxycon Mobile® device was used to obtain oxygen uptake consumption at peak (V˙ O2peak); oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) determined by linear regression in reason of the logarithmic transformation of the ventilation and V˙ O2 obtained every minute of exercise test. Statistical analysis comprised Pearson’s Correlation and linear regression analysis performed in SigmaPlot. Results. There was a significant correlation between AS and CRF: AIx and OUES; AIx@75 and; OUES. In linear regression, AIx was determinant for V˙ O2peak and OUES – AIx and; AIx@75 and V˙ O2peak. Conclusion. AS was associated with CRF in individuals with T2DM. These results contribute to the body of evidence linking arterial functional properties to CRF and suggests greater attention for this important index.

Introduction and aim. Diabetes-related distress is a prevalent issue that affects many patients, leading to challenges in ad hering to treatment plans and lifestyle modifications. By implementing therapeutic education programs, healthcare providers seek to enhance patients’ understanding of their condition, coping mechanisms, and treatment adherence. This study aims to explore the impact of therapeutic education on diabetes-related distress and therapeutic adherence among individuals diag nosed with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. This quasi-experimental study involved 40 patients with type 2 diabetes receiving therapeutic educa tion during 6 Months from March 24 to September 30, 2022. Diabetes-related distress and adherence were assessed before and after the intervention using the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS-17) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Results. Wilcoxon signed rank tests revealed statistically significant improvements for all measures after the intervention. Patients showed improved DDS-17 scores (p<0.001) across all dimensions, and lower HbA1c levels (p<0.001). Pre- and post-inter vention mean difference across all measures show that the greatest improvements were seen in emotional distress (1.37) and treatment-related distress (1.2). Conclusion. Therapeutic education had a positive impact on therapeutic adherence and diabetes-related distress. It should be an integral part of type 2 diabetes care protocols in Morocco.
