Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a kind of metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, caused by defect in insulin function, secretion or both. In chronic hyperglycemia different tissues and organs, such as thyroid gland underwent histophysiological alterations. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of type 1 and type 2diabetes on the serum levels of biochemical factors and histological changes in the thyroid gland in male Wistar rats.
Methods: After induction of type 1 diabetes (Alloxan 135 mg/kg BW) and type 2diabetes (10% fructose administrated through drinking water for 8 weeks) all rats were kept for 2 months. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and in the middle and at the end of experiment for biochemical factors analysis. After that, the thyroid gland of all rats were removed and processed for histological preparation. Then the HE stained sections were examined for thyroid gland volume and follicular surface density measurements, using Cavalieri’s Principle and stereological method, respectively.
Results:The results showed an increase in surface density and a decrease in thyroid volume in type 1 diabetic and type 2 diabetic groups, when compared with control. Furthermore, in type 1 diabetic group, the Triglycerid and Cholesterol levels increased and LDL level decreased, while in type 2 diabetic group, LDL and HDL levels slightly decreased. These results reveal that type 1 and type 2 diabetic conditions probably cause hypo- and hyper activity of thyroid gland, respectively.

Abstract
Background: The lack of self-care is the most important in diabetic. Because it is important factor that lead to dead of diabetic patients.
The aim of this study was to Comparison of the Effect of Group Based and Mobile Based Education on Self-Care Behaviors in Type II Diabetic Patients
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 90 patients' diabetic type 2 who referred to diabetic clinic of Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences. Initially, patients were divided into three groups of homogeneous mobile-based education, group training and control group based on individual characteristics. . In group training, eight sessions of training were conducted, mobile education was installed on the patient's phone and the control group through had given routine education. The data collection tool was self-care questionnaire, demographic, and demographic questionnaire for type II diabetic patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software and one-way and one-way ANOVA tests at a significant level was (0.05).
Results: Group training and mobile-based education had a significant effect on routine education (P = 0.001). Self-care education, except in the field of foot care that the effect of mobile-based education was more than group training. In comparison, self-care score in the three groups was statistically significant. Although there was no statistically significant difference between the two educational groups, the effectiveness of education in the mobile group was more effective.
Conclusion: However, the findings found the effectiveness of group-based and mobile-based education. However, the use of mobile-based training programs is recommended because of easy access, lack of time and space restrictions.
