The study aimed to analyze the scientific production on the association between asthma and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults, the mechanisms that explain this association, and its impact on asthma control. A literature review of scientific articles indexed in the MEDLINE/PUBMED, BVS, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases was carried out, considering publications from January 2009 to December 2019, using the following descriptors: “asthma”, “type 2 diabetes”, “adult,” and “association”. Of 962 articles found, 18 were included because they met the eligibility criteria. It is suggested that the association between asthma and T2DM is caused by low-grade systemic inflammation (7 articles) or the use of corticosteroids (7 articles). It is noticed that there is a limited scientific production regarding the consequences of this association for the control of asthma (5 articles). It is concluded that asthma and T2DM are two common chronic conditions of increasing prevalence and that often coexist in the same patient. It is suggested that this coexistence worsens asthma control. Therefore, the study may support public policies and clinical health practices that value the approach of comorbidities associated with asthma such as T2DM, in order to minimize additional health risks and reduce the quality of life.

Adherence To Medication

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a growing public health concern. Despite compelling evidence about the effectiveness of medications, studies have indicated that less than 50% of patients achieved therapeutic targets. The aim of this study was to assess the adherence to type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment and its determinants. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and June 2017 in the Endocrinology and internal medicine departments of Farhat Hached University Hospital in Sousse, Tunisia. A convenient sample of patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria was recruited. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to gather information. This was followed by assessing patients' adherence to diabetes medications using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Results A total of 330 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus participated in this study. The mean ±SD age of patients was 58.96±10.3 with female predominance (60.3%). More than half of participants were with high cardiovascular risk. In most cases (70.6 %), participants were moderate adherent. Results showed that patients become non-adherent as the disease gets older (p = 0.001). In addition patients with health insurance were significantly more adherent comparing to those who did not have it (p = 0.01). Regarding self-care practices and other metabolic risk factors' effects, our data revealed that exercising 30 minutes below than 5 times in week and poor self-management of diet were associated with low adherence (p < 10-3). On the other hand, patients who have started insulin therapy were less adherent than those who had not yet (0.01). Patients with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy were significantly more prone to be non- adherent, with respective percentage of 39.1% and 37.5%. Conclusions This study provides insights into the determinants of non-adherence, ultimately guiding the effective interventions through development of structured long-term policies not yet implemented. Key messages In most cases (70.6 %), participants were moderate adherent. Patients with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy were significantly more prone to be non- adherent.

Insulin Use

Background: Insulin has recently received special attention concerning its use in COVID-19 patients. Although controversial, insulin can be able to worsen the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) through an inflammatory pathway. This uncertain aspect brings a new perspective related to insulin use in this pandemic era. Objective: We tried to collect and analyze various studies related to this issue to provide a complete picture of the prognosis of insulin use in COVID-19 patients with T2DM. Methods: We comprehensively searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, EBSCO CINAHL, MEDLINE, and grey literature databases for studies investigating the effect of insulin on COVID-19 outcomes, including mortality, hospitalization, disease progression, other prognostic surrogates. Records were screened against the eligibility criteria. Result: 2556 articles were retrieved and were screened. A total of 8 studies were included in the final analysis. There are no studies with solid evidence supporting the effect of insulin treatment on the worsening of the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with T2DM. Although several studies have shown that insulin is associated with a poor prognosis, most studies have not considered confounders. This certainly makes it challenging to analyze the effects of insulin independently. Conclusion: We propose that COVID-19 patients with T2DM continue to receive insulin, but with careful observation of the risk of disease progression.

Significant Difference

Abstract Background This work aimed to evaluate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC47A1 (922-158G>A; rs2289669) and SLC47A2 (−130G>A; rs12943590) genes on the relative change in HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients of South India who are taking metformin as monotherapy. It also aims to study the effects of these SNPs on the dose requirement of metformin for glycemic control and the adverse effects of metformin. Methods Diabetes patients on metformin monotherapy were recruited based on the eligibility criteria (n=105). DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed with a real-time PCR system using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay method. The HbA1c levels were measured using Bio-Rad D-10™ Hemoglobin Analyzer. Results After adjusting for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction) the difference found in the glycemic response between the “GG” genotype and “AG/AA” genotype groups of the SLC47A2 gene was not significant (p=0.027; which was greater than the critical value of 0.025). Patients with “GG” genotype showed a 5.5% decrease in HbA1c from baseline compared to those with the “AG/AA” genotype (0.1% increase). The SNP in the SLC47A1 gene also did not influence the glycemic response to metformin (p=0.079). The median dose requirements based on the genotypes of the rs12943590 variant (p=0.357) or rs2289669 variant (p=0.580) were not significantly different. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse effects across the genotypes in both the SLC47A1 (p=0.615) and SLC47A2 (p=0.309) genes. Conclusions The clinical response to metformin was not associated with the SNPs in the SLC47A1 and SLC47A2 genes coding for the multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) transporters. Furthermore, the studied SNPs had no influence on the dose requirement or adverse effects of metformin.

ObjectivesSeveral patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have depressive disorders. Whether insulin treatment was associated with increased risk of depression remains controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of insulin therapy and depression.DesignA meta-analysis.MethodsWe conducted a systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase and the Cochrane Library from their inception to April 2016. Epidemiological studies comparing the prevalence of depression between insulin users and non-insulin users were included. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. The adjusted and crude data were analysed.ResultsTwenty-eight studies were included. Of these, 12 studies presented with adjusted ORs. Insulin therapy was significantly associated with increased risk of depression (OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.76, p=0.003). Twenty-four studies provided crude data. Insulin therapy was also associated with an odds for developing depression (OR=1.59, 95% CI 1.41 to 1.80, p<0.001). When comparing insulin therapy with oral antidiabetic drugs, significant association was observed for adjusted (OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.86, p=0.008) and crude (OR=1.61, 95% CI 1.35 to 1.93, p<0.001) data.ConclusionsOur meta-analysis confirmed that patients on insulin therapy were significantly associated with the risk of depressive symptoms.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or Type 2 DM is a metabolic disease that can cause severe complications so that adequate management which one of the targets is lowering HbA1c level is needed. Up to this time, treatment for Type 2 DM including antihiperglycemic and injection. Herbal remedies as well as dates (Phoenix datcylifera) has been limited even though it has well-known antihyperglycemic effect. To investigate the effectivity of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) in lowering HbA1c level among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Literature searching was conducted on four online databases which are PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library based on inclusion and exclusion criterias. Based on the results of critical studies, seven studies have shown that there is effectiveness in the administration of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on Lowering HbA1c levels and restricition of date diet needed for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in 3 dates per day that are statistically significant for lowering HbA1c level with value of NNT is 1. Administration of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) can be used as an adjuvant therapy on Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients
