Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, usually appears during childhood or adolescence; however, it can also develop in adults. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and awareness about diabetes among teaching stuff in Taif province of Saudi Arabia. A cross sectional study, using a structured pre-tested questionnaire, was conducted in Taif. Our study involved 50.5% males and 49.5% were females. The age of participants ranged from less than 30 years old to more than 50 years old. Our results showed that he majority of teaching staff in our sample study are aware of diabetes and how to deal in case of low blood glucose level. However, the knowledge of causes, symptoms, risk factors, complications of diabetes and signs of low blood glucose level was not as high as expected. Therefore, training is required for the teaching stuff as more than half of our sample study had taught a diabetic child.

<p>Due to increasing age, elderly are prone to non-communicable diseases (NCD), such as hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Easy physical condition monitoring of people with HT and/or DM is by measuring their blood pressure (BP) and/or blood glucose level (BGL) periodically. This study aimed to compare and analyze the differences of BP and BGL among elderly with HT and/or DM in Bangkok and Surabaya. This cross-sectional study involved 100 and 96 elderly with HT and/or DM in communities of Bangkok and Surabaya respectively (n=196). There were three groups of samples which consisted of 60 DM, 68 HT, and 68 DM&amp;HT cases. Instruments used were demography questionnaire, sphygmomanometer, and glucometer. Test of one-way ANOVA, Least Significant Difference (LSD), Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U were used for data analysis (α&lt;.05). There was a significant difference of systolic and diastolic BP found between groups (p=.000 and p=.011 respectively), but no difference found between the groups of HT and DM&amp;HT (p=.657 and p=.330 respectively). There was a significant difference of BGL found between groups (p=.002), but no difference found between the groups of HT and DM (p=.075) and between the groups of DM and DM&amp;HT (p=.066). BP is significantly different between the group of HT and DM in term of systole and diastole, especially in elderly, but BGL is similar. The risk of being HT for elderly with DM is very high. Elderly with DM&amp;HT have high BP and BGL similarly to those with single disease of HT or DM. </p>

Fenugreek Seed

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, for which there is no known cure except in very specific situations. Management of diabetes is based on keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible, without causing hypoglycaemia. Usually, this can be accomplished with diet, exercise and use of appropriate medications. In India, herbs are used in treatment to maintain normal blood glucose and lipid levels. In any form of management of diabetes with drug or insulin, diet is a common factor. Besides diet, many plants and foods of medicinal value have proved to be very useful in which one of them is fenugreek seed. Aim: The present study was aimed to evaluate the blood glucose modulating effect of Fenugreek Seed Powder (FSP) in patients of Noninsulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 25 patients of NIDDM of age group 40 to 50 years. A 5 gm Fenugreek seed powder was given to the patients on empty stomach early in the morning every day. Before beginning the study and at the end of every month, the blood glucose level (fasting and postprandial) was measured consecutively for three months. Statistics Program for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 17.0) computer software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. Results: Administration of FSP lowered the blood glucose levels in patients of NIDDM and a significant reduction in blood glucose level (fasting and postprandial) was observed in the study. Conclusion: Present study suggested that FSP might have potential to modulate blood glucose level which can serve as an effective supportive therapy in the prevention and management of long-term complications of diabetes.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy related high blood pressure disorder. It involves defective trophoblast invasion and decreased spiral artery remodelling. Alterations in micronutrients have been identified as one of the risk factor of preeclampsia. In this study we have estimated the levels of zinc, copper, iron and magnesium in preeclampsia and normal pregnant women. Our study revealed a significant decrease of zinc, copper and magnesium levels and significant increase of iron levels in preeclampsia compared to normal pregnant women. Thus assessment of micronutrients in pregnancy helps in decreasing the incidence of preeclampsia. Keywords: Preeclampsia, Zinc, Copper, Iron, Magnesium.
