Introduction Obesity is often accompanied by a number of complications including diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Elevated blood pressure and lipids, as well as deterioration of glucoregulation are attributed, as the most significant factors, to development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular complications in obese patients. Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of a fasting diet on blood pressure, lipid profile and glucoregulatory parameters. Method We included 110 patients (33 male and 77 female; mean age 35?1 years, body weight 131.7?2.6 kg, body mass index 45.4?0.8 kg/m2) who were hospitalized for three weeks for the treatment of extreme obesity with the fasting diet. At the beginning, during, and at the end of this period, we evaluated changes in blood pressure, lipid profile, as well as parameters of glucoregulation including glycaemia, insulinaemia, and insulin sensitivity by HOMA. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in all patients at the beginning and at the end of the fasting diet. Results During the fasting diet, the body weight decreased from 131.7?2.6 kg to 117.7?2.4 kg (p<0.001), the body mass index decreased from 45.4?0.8 kg/m2 to 40.8?0.8 kg/m2 (p<0.001), and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly declined (143?2 vs. 132?2 mm Hg, p<0.001; 92?2 vs. 85?2 mm Hg, p<0.001). In addition, the fasting diet produced a significant decrease in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, as well as basal glycaemia and insulinaemia (p<0.001) Before the fasting diet, OGTT was normal in 76% of patients, whereas 21% of patients showed glucose intolerance, and 4% of patients diabetes mellitus. After the fasting diet, OGTT was normal in 88% of patients, whereas 12% of patients still had signs of glucose intolerance (p<0.05). In addition, insulin resistance significantly (p<0.05) increased from 54?6% to 89?13% after the fasting diet. Conclusion The three-week fasting diet in extremely obese patients produced a significant decrease and normalization of blood pressure, decrease in lipids, and improvement in glucoregulation including the increase in insulin sensitivity.

Body mass index (BMI) is a simple method that is commonly used to determine whether a person is obese or not.  Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of the metabolic system because the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or the body's cells cannot use insulin effectively. Diabetic foot is one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic foot begins with hyperglycemia which causes abnormalities in neuropathy and blood vessels, causing infection. To determine the proportion of body mass index in patients with diabetes mellitus, to determine the prevalence of diabetic feet and non-foots. The research design used in this study is observational analytic. There is a relationship between body mass index and the risk of diabetic foot in type 2 DM patients at Royal Prima Hospital. Prevalence of body mass index 23. 0 in DM Type 2 at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2018-2020 reached 70%. The prevalence of diabetic foot in Type 2 DM at the Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2018-2020 reached 54%.

AbstractBackgroundMortality and morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is attributed to both the micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications. Variation among primary studies was seen on the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in Africa. Therefore, this study was aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction patients with diabetes mellitus and its association with body mass index and glycated hemoglobin in Africa.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Scopus, Psyinfo, Africa online journal and Google Scholar were searched. A funnel plot and Egger’s regression test were used to see publication bias. I-squared statistic was used to check heterogeneity of studies. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to estimate the pooled effect size. The subgroup and Meta regression analysis were conducted by country, sample size, and year of publication. Sensitivity analysis was deployed to see the effect of single study on the overall estimation. STATA version 14 statistical software was used for meta-analysis.ResultA total of 20 studies with 5,177 study participants were included to estimate the pooled prevalence. The pooled prevalence of erectile dysfunction patients with diabetes mellitus was 61.62% (95% CI: 48.35–74.9). BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 (AOR = 1.26; 95% CI: 0.73 –2.16), and glycated hemoglobin ≥ 7% (AOR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.5–5.9), were identified factors though not statistically significant associated with erectile dysfunction.ConclusionsThe prevalence of erectile dysfunction in Africa remains high. Therefore, situation based interventions and country context specific preventive strategies could be developed to reduce the magnitude of erectile dysfunction among patients with diabetes mellitus.

Background. Mortality and morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are attributed to both microvascular and macrovascular complications. However, there is a significant amount of variation in the primary studies on DM regarding the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in Africa. Therefore, this study was aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of ED patients with DM and its association with body mass index (BMI) and glycated hemoglobin in Africa. Methods. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PsycINFO, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar were searched for studies that looked at ED in DM patients. A funnel plot and Egger’s regression test were used to determine publication bias. The I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity between the studies. DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model was applied to estimate the pooled effect size. The subgroup and meta-regression analyses were conducted by country, sample size, and year of publication. Sensitivity analysis was deployed to see the effect of a single study on the overall estimation. STATA version 14 statistical software was used for the meta-analysis. Result. A total of 13 studies with 3,501 study participants were included in this study. We estimated that the pooled prevalence of ED in patients with DM in Africa was 71.45% (95% CI: 60.22–82.69). Diabetic patients whose BMI was ≥30 kg/m2 were 1.26 times more likely to develop ED (AOR = 1.26; 95% CI: 0.73–2.16) and whose glycated hemoglobin was <7% were 7% less likely to develop ED (AOR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.5–5.9), although they were not significantly associated with ED. Conclusions. The prevalence of ED in DM patients in Africa remains high. Therefore, situation-based interventions and country context-specific preventive strategies should be developed to reduce the prevalence of ED among patients with DM.
