Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by several adverse consequences among which diabetic foot is a major complication.
With a life long incidence of 15%, diabetic foot is accountable for more than 50% of non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Regular care, proper footwear and early treatment, but, have proved effective measures in preventing such outcome.
The problem and features as infection, ulceration, or gangrene. Neuropathy, poor circulation, and decreased resistance to infection are the three major contributors to the development of diabetic foot which when present, foot deformities or minor trauma can readily lead to ulceration and infection.
Not all diabetic foots are preventable, but appropriate preventive measures can dramatically reduce their occurrence.

Abstract
Background: The goal of dietary recommendations in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus is to achieve moderate to good control of blood glucose regarding to decrease in diabetic long-term complications. Although educational programs on appropriate dietary habits are offered in Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center for diabetic patients, there is no information about their dietary habits . This study has been performed to investigate dietary intake in children with diabetes mellitus type1 and to compare the results with that of non-diabetic ones.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in two groups of healthy and diabetic children. Data were collected by questionnaire and interview. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined by content validity and pilot study. Data were described and analyzed by t-student and Pearson correlation tests in four age groups, using SPSS software.
Results: Findings showed that in “A” age group the intake of total calorie and fiber, in “B” age group the intake of fiber, fat, protein, carbohydrate, sugar and SFA, also fat, protein, carbohydrate, sugar and SFA-derived calorie consumption, in “C” age group the intake of sugar and fiber, also PUFA and sugar-derived calorie consumption and in “D” age group the intake of fiber, total calorie, protein, carbohydrate and sugar were higher in diabetic children as compared with the control group.
Conclusion: In all subjects, the intake of carbohydrate and total fat was the same as standard recommendations, while protein intake was a little higher which increases the risk of diabetic nephropathy. In all study groups, fiber intake has been decreased with increasing the age, so it is suggested to have dietary educational programs for general population with the goal of changing the life style of people, which itself can result in less social isolation in school-aged diabetic children.

Abstract
Background: Clinical studies have demonstrated that diabetes, as a metabolic disorder, can significantly impact the quality of life of individuals affected by the condition. Physical activity has been identified as a potentially effective therapeutic intervention for managing diabetes in these individuals. This study examined the correlation between serum levels of GLP-1 and the hormones thyroxine, TSH, insulin, glucose, HbA1c, VO2peak, as well as various anthropometric indicators after eight weeks of calisthenics exercises.
Methods: This semi-experimental study involved 14 sedentary children with type 1 diabetes, averaging 12.42±1.28 years, selected through non-random sampling. The participants performed calisthenics exercises for eight weeks (three sessions per week). Physiological assessments and blood samples were collected 48 hours before and after the training period. The relationship was analyzed using Pearson's correlation test, and intra-group changes were assessed using paired t-tests.
Results: The findings demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between GLP-1 and insulin both before (r=0.703, p=0.005) and after the exercise intervention (r=0.668, p=0.009). Additionally, an inverse and significant correlation was observed between GLP-1 and waist circumference (WC) levels before (r=0.633, p=0.019) and after exercise (r=0.575, p=0.043), as well as between GLP-1 and body fat percentage after exercise (r=0.676, p=0.007). In terms of intra-group changes, the results indicated a significant increase in GLP-1, insulin, and VO2peak, along with a significant decrease in WC.
Conclusion: The findings of this study show that engaging in calisthenics exercises can be effective in reducing the negative effects of type 1 diabetes and increasing the health of diabetic children.
