Background<br />Diabetes mellitus is a significant global public health concern. Poor knowledge of disease and healthcare utilization is associated with poor health outcomes, leading to increasing burden of diabetes in many developing countries. The present study aimed to assess diabetes health literacy and clinical outcomes in elderly patients registered to the home health agency. <br /><br />Methods<br />A cross-sectional study was conducted in the city of Çorum, Turkey, with 160 type 2 diabetic patients of both sexes and aged between 50-91 years. To identify health literacy, the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine test was administered to the patients. Clinical parameters were based on routine medical examinations by measuring blood pressure levels, glycosylated hemoglobin, and lipoprotein levels. In order to identify the risk of depression, the Beck Depression Scale was used. <br /><br />Results<br />Of the patients, 85.0% had limited health literacy. The majority of patients (95.0%) had poor glycemic control and limited health literacy was associated with having high level of HbA1c (p&lt;0.05). Adequate health literacy was associated with regular foot care (p&lt;0.05). Also patients with limited health literacy were more likely to have depression (p&lt;0.001). Limited health literacy increased the risk of poor glycemic control (OR=6.82;95% CI=1.34-9.78) and retinopathy (OR=6.91;95% CI=1.23-9.44). <br /><br />Conclusion<br />Limited health literacy is consistently associated with poorer diabetes clinical outcomes in elderly type 2 diabetes melltius Contents of diabetes education should be arranged according to patients’ health literacy level which requires visual and auditory teaching materials for patients with limited health literacy.

Background: Self-care is essential for the prevention of complications in patients with diabetes, but several authors report that even with health education programs, the incidence of complications in patients with diabetes continues to increase. Objective: We aimed to examine adherence to self-care strategies and the repercussions of adherence on the clinical profiles of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched for related studies in 4 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature (LILACS). We included observational studies in English and Portuguese that evaluated the effects of selfcare in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Results: The search resulted in the identification of 615 articles, of which 34 met all the inclusion criteria. General self-care was considered unsatisfactory. Physical exercise was classified as the self-care activity that was performed less frequently by individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus; adherence to medication was the most frequent behavior among volunteers. Conclusion: The studies indicated poor adherence of the population to good self-care practices, reflected by the increase in complications related to DM.

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease associated with a rise in the level of blood glucose. Individuals with diabetes mellitus are more likely to develop hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness due to macro- and microvascular complications. The extent to which auditory and vestibular functions are impaired in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus is still under debate. Objective To systematically review studies focusing on auditory and vestibular functions in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Data Synthesis A search was conducted in the PubMed, MedlinePlus, Ingenta Connect and Google Scholar databases for articles published until June 2019. A total of 15,980 articles were primarily retrieved, 33 of which were shortlisted based on the inclusion criteria set by the investigators for the systematic review. Out of 33 full-length articles, 26 evaluated the functioning of the auditory system, while 7 evaluated the functioning of the vestibular system. Most studies related to auditory functioning reported a significant effect of type-2 diabetes mellitus on the peripheral auditory system, whereas studies on vestibular functioning reported no significant effect of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the peripheral vestibular end-organ. Conclusion Overall, the results of various audiological and peripheral vestibular tests reveal distinctive peripheral and/or central auditory and vestibular end-organ impairments in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
