Abstract

Background: Complications from type II diabetes mellitus (DM) are especially serious for older people. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of upper limb ergometry against lower limb ergometry in reducing blood glucose levels in elderly women. Materials and methods: Forty female patients, aged 60-70, with type II DM took part in the study. Pre-treatment, the mean ± SD values for blood glucose were 279.9 ± 60.99 mg/dl in group A while in group B they were 281.7 ± 38.69 mg/dl. Two groups of involving 20 subjects each were used in this study. Group (A) received upper-extremity ergometry activities, whereas Group (B) received lower-extremity ergometry exercises. Prior to and following three sessions per week for three months, blood glucose levels were monitored. Results: Upper extremity ergometry exercise is more effective than lower extremity ergometry exercise in reducing blood glucose level. Improvement in blood sugar levels was higher (21.04%) in group (A) than in group (B) (12.26%). Conclusion: Blood glucose levels in elderly women were shown to be more effectively controlled with upper extremity ergometry exercise than with lower extremity exercise.
