A type 2 diabetes nutrition - recommendation and reality
MÍČKOVÁ, Veronika
The given bachelor thesis elaborates on the issue of type 2 diabetes and the approach of the patients, suitability of their education about the recommended diet and formation of potential risks as a result of this disease. Two main objectives were set for this study. The first objective consisted of a survey on education of the patients about the recommended diet and health risks if they fail its observance. The second objective analysed the survey which was conducted in order to reveal factual eating habits of these patients. The first and purely theoretical part. The second part focuses on qualitative research which was conducted by using a semi-structured interview as a data collection method. The focus group consisted of six respondents - two men and four women. The gathered facts reveal that the education and knowledge instructed by the doctor is more or less satisfactory. Four respondents out of six indicated to be satisfied with their doctor. Only one respondent was utterly unsatisfied and one assessment provided by a female respondent was considered as biased considering her old age and a long course of the illness. Her negative approach towards the doctor´s education was not taken into account either, due to the fact that the given patient must have changed several doctors during her lifetime. The results also demonstrate that the majority of respondents observe a recommended diabetes diet, eating at least five or six meals a day. According to their answers, most of them eat vegetables, lean meat and whole-grain bread and drink water, tea, or coffee. Five respondents out of six prioritise the recommended food preparation techniques, such as steaming, stir-frying and stewing. They all agree on types of food they try to avoid in majority sweets. Then the conducted survey points out situations during which the given diet is not observed. However, these situations are exceptional, so they should not be regarded as a non-observance of the diet provided that the answers given are truthful. Furthermore, the respondents observe, or try to observe, the diet recommendations, as evidenced by their regular doctor´s appointment and steady glycaemic index. Finally, the given research included two questions which were supposed to highlight the possibilities of the respondents depending on their place of residence. The first question should indicate the variation in size of the place and number of inhabitants. It was proved that the size did not have a remarkable influence on the diabetes education. The second question focused on assortment and price of diabetes food products. The bigger the agglomeration is, the cheaper and wider assortment of these products can be found. The final assessment based on interviews and results obtained was more or less positive and in comparison to other publications specifying the same recommended diet reached similar conclusions.

Possibilities of observanceof recommendet sodium intake in accordance with nutrition recommendation for adults with type 2 diabetes
DRDOVÁ, Martina
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the most common acquired metabolic disorder which can be characterised by the relative lack of insulin leading to the insufficient use of glucose in the organism. The general diagnostic disorder is the imbalance between secretion and effect of insulin in the glucose metabolism. Every year the registered number of people suffering from diabetes in the Czech Republic increases by 55,000. Nowadays, every fourth adult suffers from hypertension or high blood pressure. Hypertension with regard to the people with diabetes occurs twice as often as in case of healthy people. The biggest problem whitch is the main cause of high blood pressure is formed by unhealthy life style with the lack of physical activity leading to obesity, salty and fatty foods, excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks and smoking. The work is divided into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus, its treatment and education of people with diabetes. The second part deals with the issue of sodium and hypertension in connection with diabetes. The practical part is based on qualitative research. For collecting the appropriate data, the diets, interviews and observation are used. 13 patients in the age of 48 to 69 years, 6 women and 7 men, participated in the research. Two main objectives are set in this thesis. The first one determines whether the people with type 2 diabetes observe the rules of the specific diet. The second one detects received amount of sodium in food with regard to the people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and whether this amount complies with the recommended daily amount. Two research questions are thus posed: How the patients with type 2 diabetes follow the diet? What is the amount of received sodium in the food of the people with type 2 diabetes? What is the influence of received sodium on health of these people? What is the importance of education for the people with type 2 diabetes? Both objectives were accomplished and all questions were answered. The increased reception of sodium was detected in the majority of patients. On the other hand, mineral substances found in their blood were within the standarts. However, blood preasure reading measured in eight people with diabetes increased the amount of 140/90. All the patients try to follow the diabetic diet, with exceptions, such as Christmas or Sunday visits. The education of these people with regard to diabetes can be evaluated as partially successful because weight-loss was recorded in case of nine patients, however there were no radical changes in their diets.

KRAJÍČKOVÁ, Simona
In my Bachelor thesis I investigate the influence of Yoga practice on patients suffering from, and being treated for, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. The research deals with the impact of a 12 week Yoga intervention program. The theoretical study of the subject includes a wide range of comprehensive and relevant literature available. The research part also describes the methodology. Input and output measurements of anthropometric as well as metabolic parameters were gathered, analyzed, discussed and prepared for presentation in cooperation with specialists from the field of Diabetology. In addition the following methods and research tools were employed: ?Quality of Life? questionnaire (PETR, 2000) and the projective technique ?Method of unfinished sentences? (VALKOVA, 2000). Nine selected individuals from the local Diabetes Association participated voluntarily in the research. In the period from November 2011 to January 2012 this group experienced the 12 week Yoga intervention program. Following the programs completion results were processed according to previously presented methods. The observed data shows that the applied Yoga intervention program positively affected the value orientation of the participants as well as positively impacting metabolic parameters (Glycated hemoglobin). The general improvement in overall life quality is evident in the research. Based on these results it can recommend applied Yoga intervention programs for all people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
