Abstract Objective To identify the correlation between the level of at-admission fasting blood glucose (FBG) with poor outcomes in hospitalized patients suffering from severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). Methods Between April 1 and December 1, 2020, the list of hospitalized patients affected with SFTS infection was provided by the Infectious Disease Department at First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, followed by the collection of information I.e., gender, age, diabetic history and the level of FBG on admission. Results In this study, a total of 77 patients were included and were categorized into three groups (< 5.6, 5.6–6.9, and ≥ 7.0 mmol/l) on the basis of their glucose level in the blood. The obtained results revealed that among three groups considerable variations were observed in leukocytes, FBG, D-Dimer, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), fibrin degradation products (FDP), and interleukin (IL)-10 level. Correlation analysis indicated a linear negative correlation between PLT and FBG (r = − 0.28, P = 0.01), however, a linear positive correlation was observed between AST, IL10, D-Dimer, and FDP levels and FBG (P-value < 0.05). Multivariate statistical analysis results shown that there was significant difference between group comparison (F = 17.01, P < 0.001) and interaction between group and time (F = 8.48, P < 0.05); but there was no significant difference between time point comparison (F = 0.04, P = 0.96). With the prolongation of time, the changes of FBG were different between survivor group and non-survivor group. The FBG in survival group shown a downward trend; The non-survivor group shown an upward trend. Conclusions Elevated level of FBG has been correlated with hypercoagulability, inflammation, and lower PLT in SFTS patients. The measurement of FBG level can help in evaluating the inflammatory process, hypercoagulability, and prognosis of patients suffering from SFTS. FBG can predict the prognosis of SFTS. It is necessary to pay attention to the role of FBG in the process of treatment in patients with SFTS.

Background: Diabetes and hepatitis are among the most common diseases in the world. Hepatitis C virus leads to extra-liver manifestations, including endocrine disease and diabetes. The prevalence of hepatitis C and B in diabetic patients and the prevalence of diabetes in hepatitis C and B patients are higher than those in normal populations, and if each is added to the other, the complications will be more and the consequences will be worse. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the frequency distribution of diabetes and serum lipid levels in hepatitis B and C patients and other people. Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 80 patients with hepatitis B and C and 160 patients without hepatitis were included. In both groups, those with two glucose levels above 126 mg/dL were considered as diabetic subjects. Also, the tests for factors such as cholesterol, TG, LDL, HbA1c, HDL, and liver ultrasonography were performed for patients. Data were collected and entered into SPSS 23 software and analyzed using descriptive statistical tests (t test and chi-square or Fisher's exact test) at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: A total of 240 patients [80 cases (hepatitis B or C positive) and 160 controls] were enrolled. Of them, 46.3% were females and most of them were in the age range of 45-55 years. Besides, 14 (5.8%) subjects had high fasting blood glucose levels of more than 126 mg/dl twice, and were considered to have diabetes. Among them, four (5.0%) cases (all having hepatitis B) and 10 (6.3%) controls were diabetics. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the mean serum lipids of cholesterol and LDL between the case and control groups (P < 0.1) but there was a significant association between HDL and TG in both groups (P = 0.02). Conclusions: All patients with hepatitis B and C should be screened for diabetes, and in addition to fasting blood glucose, we suggest that HbA1c be measured to confirm or rule out diabetes.

Background: Obesity cause various physiological changes in the body, one of which is insulin resistance causes high blood glucose levels. Chewing is a stimulus of cephalic phase responses and sensory stimulation that can increase hormones releasing such as insulin, ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Chewing plays important role in determining postprandial plasma glucose concentration.Objective: Investigate the effect of chewing on postprandial blood glucose in obese adults.Method: This was true experimental research. Research subjects were treated in the form of chewing 22 times and 40 times each mouthful. Blood glucose levels were measured using glucometer on fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. Statistical test using Independent t-test.Results: The mean postprandial glucose levels in the 22 chews group at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes were 112.11 ± 14.3328, 126.11 ± 15.667, 116.94 ± 15.539, and 89.67 ± 11.668 . While the mean postprandial blood glucose levels in the 40 chews group at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes were 122.22 ± 14.381, 129.61 ± 15.112, 109.50 ± 14.995, and 85.83 ± 13.963. There were statistically significant differences between chewing groups 22 times and chewing 40 times on fasting blood glucose and 15 minutes postprandial blood glucose (p = 0.041 and p = 0.042), while on 30 minutes postprandial glucose testing, 60 minutes , and 120 minutes there was no significant difference (p> 0.05).Conclusion: There was significant differences in 15 minutes postprandial blood glucose level between group 22 times chewing and 40 times chewing each mouthful.

Background Although risk factors for abnormal birth weight has been extensively investigated, whether the physiological range of glucose tolerance affects birth weight in non-diabetic mothers needs to be verified by further research. Objectives To assess the effect of maternal sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and anthropometric measurements, fasting and 2-hour  blood glucose levels on birth weight. Methods One hundred and thirty four women were followed from early pregnancy until delivery at Saad Abualila Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan.  Fasting and 2-hour glucose levels following administration of 75 g oral glucose was performed in the third trimester. Association between birth weight and maternal sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and anthropometric measurements, haemoglobin, fasting and 2-hour blood glucose levels were assessed by linear regression analysis. Results The mean (SD) birth weight was 3127.7 (480.0) g, while the 10th and 90th centile were 2500 and 3800 g, respectively. There was no significant difference in the birth weight between male (n=73) and female (n=61) newborns [3167.8 (545.0) vs 3068.9 (384.0) g, P= 0.196]. Likewise there was no significant difference in the birth weight of newborns born to primipara and multipara mothers [3101.7 (529.0) g vs 3151.4 (432.0) g, P= 0.551]. Linear regression analysis demonstrated significant association between fasting blood glucose and birth weight (20 g, P = 0.028). None of the other maternal/fetal characteristics was associated with birth weight, including maternal age, body mass index, gravidity, weight gain during pregnancy, interpregnancy interval, history of miscarriage, haemoglobin level, blood pressure, fetal gender and gestational age. Conclusion In this study fasting blood glucose was found to be predictor of birth weight among neonates of non-diabetic Sudanese mothers.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with characteristics of hyperglycemia. Conventional treatments using oral medications such as glibenclamide and metformin have many side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to find an alternative drug that is more effective and safer. Some agents that are often used as anantihiperglikemia are cucumber and tomato.The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of combination of cucumber and tomato juice to decrease blood glucose levels of male Wistar ratsusingglucose tolerance method. Male Wistar rats were fasted for 10 hours and then measured the levels of fasting blood glucose. Then animals test were given the juice (single and combination), 30 minutes later were given a dose of sucrose load of 6.75 g / KgBW orally. Blood glucose levels of animal testre-measured at 30th, 60th, 90th, and 120th minutes after loading sucrose using a glucometer.The measurement results showed that blood glucose levels of the combination of cucumber and tomato juice group with dose ratio of 28 g/KgBW:16.8 g/KgBW gave decrease blood glucose levels significantly compared to the negative control group (p≤0.05) and didn’t not provide a significant difference compared to the metformin group (p ≥0.05).
