Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of type2 diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. Many believe that type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease that can be prevented by appropriate interventions in individuals at high risk for the disease. A number of studies have therefore looked at primary prevention during the past decade. Iran’s diabetic population of approximately 2 million people and the warning by the World Health Organisation that diabetes is on the rise in developing countries make the primary prevention of diabetes mellitus in Iran doubly important. Researchers have been increasingly focusing on identifying the risk factors for type 2 diabetes and, through these, appropriate strategies to prevent the rapidly growing incidence of this disease in the population at risk. Genetic predisposition (a positive family history), insulin resistance, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, a history of gestational diabetes mellitus, physical inactivity and an unsuitable diet are among the most important recognised risk factors for type 2 diabetes other factors have also been found to contribute. Most of the available research has evaluated the effect of behavioural or lifestyle modification, in the form usually of dietary education and increased physical activity, in the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes. The second most common approach has been pharmacological manipulation.
The information available indicates that type 2 diabetes will come to be considered as a preventable disease within the next decade. The weight of research behind this problem will undoubtedly discover even more effective methods of preventing type 2 diabetes in the near future than behavioural/lifestyle modification.

Abstract
There are controversies on the effects of diabetes and lifestyle of affected patients on their bone mineral densities (BMDs). This study has investigated the effects of lifestyle of type 2 diabetics on BMD at the lumbar spine and proximal femur in pre and postmenopausal women.
Methods: In a historical cohort study, 20 pre-menopausal type 2 diabetics and 57 non-diabetics and 126 type 2 Diabetics and 315 non-diabetics postmenopausal women, were recruited. BMD measurements were also made to the spine and proximal femur (Neck, Wards, and Shaft) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technique. Exclusion criteria were endocrine, rheumatologic or chronic diseases. Type 2 diabetic cases and non-diabetics were matched for age and body mass index (BMI) in both pre menopausal or postmenopausal groups.
Results: A total of 146 type 2 Diabetic patients without any other endocrine disorder and 372 non-diabetic women, aged 40-81 years were enrolled. No significant differences were found between diabetics and healthy controls in terms of BMD values of spine and femur regions in the premenopausal women. Postmenopausal diabetics, however, had higher BMD at the lumbar spine compared with the healthy postmenopausal controls. An age-related decrease in BMD values (lumbar and femur) was observable in all groups and a significant correlation between BMI and BMD was found. Adjusting for age and BMI, the effect of lifestyle on BMD at all sites was investigated. Occupation was associated with BMD in postmenopausal, but not in premenopausal women. Among the investigated dietary items, milk, yogurt and cheese were all associated with increased BMD in at least one region in diabetic patients. Smoking was not associated with BMD.
Conclusion: Type 2 Diabetes does not seem to be complicated by bone loss and osteoporosis. Physical activity and milk consumption in postmenopausal diabetic women can be a protective factor against bone loss.

Abstract
Background: The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model on FBS, 2HPPBS, HbA1c in patients with type II diabetes.
Methods: The research method was a semi-experimental and multi-group expanded type with pre-test-post-test designs and a control group with a follow-up period. The statistical population of this research included all patients with type II diabetes referred to the endocrinology department of Imam-Khomeini Hospital in 1400. In this research, from a list of 100 people with diabetes, 60 diabetic patients who met the entry criteria were identified. Then 45 people were randomly selected and replaced by random replacement in two experimental groups and one control group. Each experimental group received group psychological interventions separately, and at the end, both groups were subjected to a post-test. The obtained data were analyzed using mixed analysis with repeated measurements.
Results: The results indicate the effect of lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model on FBS (P=0/001), 2HPPBS (P=0/001) and HbA1c (P=0/006) and the stability of this effect was in the follow-up phase. Also, compared to lifestyle education based on the World Health Organization model, lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model was a more effective method to reduce HbA1c in type 2 diabetes patients but the difference in the effect of the two groups on FBS and 2HPPBS was not significant.
Conclusion: The results indicated the effectiveness of both educational models and the superiority of the BAZENF educational model. Therefore, Lifestyle education based on the Bezenf model and the World Health Organization model can be used by therapists as adjunctive treatments in interventions for people with type 2 diabetes.
