ABSTRACTObjective: Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone is the sixthcomplication of diabetes mellitus. Periodontal treatment that reduces gingival inflammation aids in the control of hyperglycemia. Therefore, thepresent study was designed to determine the effect of treating chronic periodontitis with oral antibiotics azithromycin and metronidazole on the levelof serum glycated hemoglobin in type-II diabetic patients.Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in the dental department of a tertiary care hospital for 9 months. Clinical andbiochemistry reports of 90 patients were collected in designed case report forms. All statistical analyses were performed using IBM Statistical Packagefor Social Sciences 17 and Graph Pad Prism 7.0.Results: Significant reduction in all the clinical and dental parameters was comparatively higher in patients who received azithromycin than inpatients who received metronidazole and scaling and root planning alone.Conclusion: Periodontal therapy with oral azithromycin can be employed as a supportive strategy for the management of diabetes mellitus.Henceforth, prevention and control of periodontal disease along with antibiotics must be considered an integral part of glycemic control. However,due to the lesser sample size in this study, further investigations are required to confirm the effect of periodontal therapy on systemic diseases.Keywords: Periodontitis, Azithromycin, Metronidazole, Glycemic control, Diabetes mellitus.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic abnormality due to either decreased secretion of insulin or decreased tissue sensitivity of insulin resulting in elevated blood glucose. Most common complication of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy. In this research project, we will be conducting a pilot study to observe the effect of glycaemic control on physiological functioning of nerve with the help of neurophysiological parameters, independent of duration of diabetes. Objectives: To investigate relationship of quality of glycemic control & severity of neurological changes. To find out whether glycemic control acts as an independent risk factor for progression of diabetic neuropathy despite the duration of diabetes. To validate the HBA1C at 10 for future longitudinal study to understand the association between glycemic control & progression of neuropathy. Methodology: 60 type II diabetic patients visiting diabetic OPD (Medicine) will participate in the study. The patients will be divided in to 2 groups of Group number 1 with (30 subjects) HBA1C < 10 and Group number 2 having (30 subjects) HBA1C >10. Electrodiagnostic study will be conducted on motor (tibial nerve) and sensory (sural nerve) will be performed in Neurophysiology lab. Neurophysiological parameters data of two groups will be analysed and compared. Expected Results: The pilot study will help to find out whether glycaemic control acts as a separate risk factor for progression of diabetic neuropathy despite duration of diabetes. Conclusion: This pilot study will help to establish the association between quality of glycaemic control and severity of neurological changes. Also, this will help to validate the HBA1C at 10 for further longitudinal study to know whether poor diabetes control is an independent risk factor associated to the severity of neuropathy in type II diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the impact of pre-dialysis glycemic control on clinical outcomes for type II diabetic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPO). Materials and Methods One hundred and one type II diabetic patients receiving CAPO for at least 3 months were enrolled in a single institute. The patients were classified into two groups according to status of glycemic control. In the good glycemic control group, more than 50% of blood glucose determinations were within 3.3 11.0 mmol/L and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1 C) levels were within 5% -10% at all times. In the poor glycemic control group, less than 50% of blood glucose determinations were within 3.3 -11.0 mmol/L, or HbA1C levels were above 10% at least 6 months before peritoneal dialysis was started. In addition to glycemic control status, pre-dialysis serum albumin, cholesterol levels, residual renal function, peritoneal membrane function, and modes of glycemic control were also recorded. Results The patients with good glycemic control had significantly better survival than those with poor glycemic control (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in pre-dialysis morbidity between two groups. No significant differences were observed in patient survival between patients with serum albumin above 30 g/L and those with serum albumin under 30 g/L; between those with cholesterol levels above or below 5.2 mmol/L; and between those with different peritoneal membrane solute transport characteristics as evaluated by a peritoneal equilibration test (PET). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in survival between patients who controlled blood sugar by diet and those who controlled it by insulin. Cardiovascular disease and infection are the major causes of death in both groups. Although good glycemic control predicts better survival, it does not change the pattern of mortality in diabetic patients maintained on CAPO. Conclusions Glycemic control before starting dialysis is a predictor of survival for type II diabetic patients on CAPO. Patients with poor glycemic control predialysis are associated with increased morbidity and shortened survival.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy refers to vascular disease of the retina that affects patients who have been diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus. Information about DR must be spread the population, especially diabetic patients. Tools for DR screening are available and easy to access. No similar study was carried out in Tabuk to assess awareness of DR among type II diabetic patients up to our knowledge. AIM: To assess awareness of diabetic retinopathy among type II diabetic patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study carried out in Tabuk city at King Salman Armed Forced Hospital-Primary Health Care Centers among type II diabetic patients attending at the period of study (n = 382) to assess their awareness about diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS: Out of 382 diabetics patients, (41.4%) had DM less than 5 years, (34.8%) had DM more than 10 years, and (23.8%) had DM between 5-10 years, (30.1%) had university degree, (42.4%) considered having low income, (57.6%) were screened for DR in the past year, ( 18.1%) of participant think that Seeing optometrist is enough for DR diagnosis. The total knowledge score about DR with a mean ± SD of 6.4 ± 1.5, indicating poor knowledge level, where 180 (47.1%) had poor knowledge, 106 (27.7%) had moderate knowledge, and 96 (25.2%) had good knowledge. CONCLUSION: Almost the Awareness of Type II Diabetic Patients Attending at king Salman Armed Forced Hospital-Primary Health Care centre regarding Diabetic Retinopathy needs to be improved.
