Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus; PreDiabetes

Summary: the primary aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of physical activity counseling and pilates exercises on metabolic control variables in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes; its secondary aim is to examine the effects of both practices on physical activity level, exercise capacity and quality of life, and to compare the relationship between those under medical supervision by family doctor.

according to the world health organization (who), diabetes is defined as a disease that occurs when the insulin hormone which is responsible for regulating blood glucose and secreted by the pancreas. it cannot be produced individually or used effectively by the body. it is a chronic disease with high morbidity and mortality and adversely affected by diabetes complications. purpose in diabetes

studies have shown that physical activity has a protective effect on impaired glucose tolerance and prevents the risk of cardiovascular diseases and premature death in patients with type 2 diabetes. however, 60-70% of individuals with type 2 diabetes can not reach their daily physical activity goal and most of them can not maintain their regular exercise program. in order to prevent patients from giving up exercise early, it is important to provide personal counseling at certain periods, to encourage, support and advice during exercises, and to explain the exercises in a way that patients can understand. in our study, patients with type 2 diabetes will be randomly divided into 3 groups as physical activity counseling and pilates exercise group, only physical activity counseling group, and

group patient will make pilates exercise once a week alone. individual exercise sessions will start with 5-10 minutes of warm-up exercises and end with cool-down exercises in the same time. overall in the program; stretching exercises in different positions (standing and lying), exercises to increase the flexibility of the trunk muscles, upper extremity movements with and without an exercise ball, strengthening exercises with theraband will be applied. types of movements to strengthen all abdominal muscles, muscles around the hips, back muscles, muscles in the shoulder girdle (shoulder bridge, corkscrew, roll-up, roll down, clam, side kick, staggered legs, scissors, swimming, swan dive, breast stroke preparation, abdominal preparation, oblique preparation) will be used alternately in different sessions, from easy to difficult. pilates exercises will be performed with light and relaxing music. within the scope of physical activity, moderate and / or high intensity aerobic exercise recommended by cintegrating physical activity in primary care practice. the american journal of medicine (acsm) will be recommended 150 minutes in a week. care will be taken not to take a break for more than 2 days between two exercise days. in addition, strengthening exercises that will maintain or increase muscle strength including large muscle groups at least 3 days a week will be determined in accordance with the patient's current possibilities. recommendations will be given for possible complications such as hypoglycemia during and after exercise. during physical activity counseling, considering the current physical and metabolic status of the person, the person-based 5a model of acsm will be adapted to individuals with diabetes and physical activity consultancy will be provided. the 5a model consists of assess, advise, agree, assist, and arrange subsections. 1. assess: the person's level of knowledge about physical activity and diabetes, his perspective on exercise, his exercise history, readiness for change, fatigue, personal history and family history, and drug use will be evaluated. by asking open-ended questions, his attitude towards exercise will be determined. 2. advise: the benefits of physical activity and the risks of physical inactivity will be explained, morbidities that may develop due to diabetes, the relationship of diabetes with physical activity, and exercise types will be mentioned. short-term and long-term effects of exercise will be explained. 3. agree: cooperation will be made with the client in line with the person's wishes, interests and physical activity goals. environmental resources for physical activity will be evaluated and appropriate guidance will be made. omron hj 109 brand pedometer will be used for determining, monitoring and improving the level of physical activity. 4. assist: misunderstanding situations will be explained by helping the person identify and solve their problems with physical activity. potential

be applied by the consultant, and a person-centered approach will be provided by establishing empathy. before and after the 12-week intervention program of all patients, metabolic control variables (body mass index, fasting blood glucose, hba1c value, hdl, ldl, total cholesterol, triglyceride values) will be evaluated. physical activity levels with ipaq, exercise capacity with 6-minute walking test (6mwt), functional balance with berg balance test and quality of life with sf-36 will be evaluated. body fat percentage, visceral fat amount, body mass index and muscle mass amounts in the trunk and extremities will be calculated with the jawon x-contact 350 device. exercise intensity during exercise will be determined by speaking test. metabolic control variables will be analyzed in the healthy life park blood collection unit affiliated to iskenderun district health directorate after the permits are taken. evaluation methods, exercise and consultancy applications will be carried out in iskenderun healthy life center. only the participants in the family doctor follow-up will continue their routine doctor checks and recommendations. an "assessment form" will be created to record the demographic and disease information of all cases included in the study. diabetes year, prediabetes diagnosis time, history, family history, treatments taken, medications used, posture analysis with new york posture analysis, range of motion, muscle strength and shortness assessment and foot examination will be recorded in the evaluation form. semmes weinstein monofilament will be used for foot examination. all analyzes will be performed using spss (statistical package for social sciences) for windows 22. the compliance of the data to normal distribution will be evaluated by drawing the kolmogorov-smirnov test and histogram. parametric tests will be used for data suitable for normal distribution. data that are not suitable for normal distribution will be analyzed with non-parametric tests. variables will be defined by their mean and standard deviation values. analyzes and correlations between groups will be examined separately with appropriate tests. a value of p\<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
