About

The rapid normalization of hyperglycemia can cause a neuropathy called Diabetes Treatment-Induced Neuropathy (NITD). This phenomenon induces the presence of hyper vascularization and inflammation in contact with the nerve ends.

In another register in patients living with diabetes, it has been observed the development of a rare and devastating complication for the joints called the so-called neuroarthropathy of Charcot (CN).

Full description

The rapid normalization of hyperglycemia can cause a neuropathy called Diabetes Treatment-Induced Neuropathy (NITD). This phenomenon induces the presence of hyper vascularization and inflammation in contact with the nerve ends.

In another register in patients living with diabetes, it has been observed the development of a rare and devastating complication for the joints called the so-called neuroarthropathy of Charcot (CN). The pathophysiology of CN is not completely known but there is an activation of markers of inflammation and bone remodeling, disruption of the osteoblast and osteoclast system, activation of the RANKL system (Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand) and its antagonist osteoprogesterin (OPG). Inflammation and peripheral hypervascularization therefore seem to be a common link between the two pathologies mentioned (NITD and CN). We have confirmation that the rapid correction of chronic hyperglycemia can trigger (not systematically) NITD, but what about the influence of this rapid correction on the appearance of CN. Furthermore, physical activity (PA) and exercise have long been recognized as the cornerstones of the prevention and management of chronic diseases, due to their beneficial effects on the clinical parameters of various diseases. The practice of PA has a preventive and therapeutic effect against osteoporosis (a disease in which the level of RANKL is particularly high), so there is in theory a preventive effect of the practice of physical activity on the development of CN.

---

60 participants in 3 patient groups

G1A

No Intervention group

Description:

Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c\> 8.5%) over 6 months. In order to assess the effect of rapid correction of HbA1c on RANKL levels, without the practice physical activity

G1B

Experimental group

Description:

Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c\> 8.5%) over 6 months. In order to assess the effect of rapid correction of HbA1c on RANKL levels, with the practice physical activity

Treatment:

Other: pratice physical activity

G2

No Intervention group

Description:

Controlled diabetes (HbA1c level \<7%). This group will study the natural course of RANKL levels in balanced diabetic patients.
