Vaccine Information

Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased rate of infection, which was partly explained by a decreased T cell-mediated response, and although being controversial, impaired function of neutrophil associated with diabetes is also documented. The purpose was to determine awareness of type 2 Diabetic patients about immunization against hepatitis-B, influenza, tetanus and zona, to find out the source of current vaccine information. Materials and methods. The study was planned as a single centred, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical trial. The questionnaire form was applied to patients diagnosed with type 2 DM, who applied to Diabetics Outpatient Clinic by face-to-face interview technique. Results. A total of 439 patients was evaluated; the diagnosis time of 38.5, 19, 24 and 18 % of the patients was determined as 0–5 years, 6–10 years, 11–15 years and more than 16 years, respectively. Organ damage was detected in 76 of the patients, and as the most common complication, retinopathy was found to be in 57 (13.01 %) patients. Among the patients, 175 (39.86 %) of them had coexisting hypertension, and 164 (37.36 %) of them had coexisting hyperlipidaemia. Whereas 153 (35.75 %) were aware of pneumococcal vaccine, the number of patients who got vaccinated was 55 (12.53 %). Whereas 336 (76.54 %) were aware of influenza vaccine, 108 (24.60 %) of them got vaccinated. Among the patients, 179 (40.77 %) heard of hepatitis B vaccine, but 34 (7.74 %) got vaccinated. It was determined that, 279 people heard od tetanus vaccine, 183 people were administered at least one dose of vaccine, however the last vaccine of 101 (55.49 %) of those who had tetanus vaccine, was more than 11 years ago. Only 3 out of 33 (7.52 %), who knew about the zona vaccine, got vaccinated. In that study, 243 (55.35 %) people got vaccinated in adulthood for any reason. There was no significant relationship between education level and duration of disease and vaccination. Conclusions. Adult immunization rates of diabetic patients were found to be in low levels. The primary care professionals play an essential role in the immunization of diabetic patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetic patients often require insulin therapy for better glycaemic control. However, many of these patients do not receive insulin or do not receive it in a timely manner. Objective: The study was planned to assess the proportion of type 2 diabetic patients attaining treatment goals as per the ADA 2018 guidelines. In addition, patient’s perception on insulin therapy assessed and compared between insulin naïve and insulin initiated type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: The study was conducted in type 2 diabetic patients. Data on their demographics, medical history, duration of diabetes, history of diabetes related complications, the current antidiabetic medication received, most recent glycaemic parameters were noted. Patient’s perception on insulin initiation was recorded through structured interview. Results: A total of 129 patients were included in the study. Around 76.7% patients achieved HbA1c target (<7%). Duration of the disease is much higher in patients who did not meet the HBA1c target. A good number of patients felt that insulin injection would be physically painful (56.5%). Majority of the patients also felt that insulin will make their life less flexible (64.8%). Many patients are having the opinion that insulin is required for life long (73.2%). More number of patients on insulin agreed with the statement ‘Leads to good short-term outcomes as well as long-term benefits’ compared to insulin naïve patients. Conclusion: The results highlight that the proportion of patients achieving recommended glycaemic target is not satisfactory. Many patients who are inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs were reluctant to initiate insulin.

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most frequent cause of chronic kidney failure in both developed and developing countries. Diabetic nephropathy, is a clinical syndrome characterized by albuminuria (&gt;300 mg/day) with permanent and irreversible decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Aim of the Work To study the role of urinary TNF-α and urine KIM-1 in type 2 diabetic patients as predictors of DN comparative with albuminuria. Patients and Methods This is a cross-sectional study which include 90 type-2 diabetic patients and 30 controls selected from the outpatient clinic of Assiut University hospitals. All patients gave an informed consent and approval for the study was obtained from the IRB committee of the Assiut Medical Faculty. The recruited patients were divided into three groups: Normo-albuminuria Group (A) (n = 30): UACR less than 30 mg/gm, Microalbuminuria Group (B) (n = 30): UACR between 30-299 mg/gm and Macro-albuminuria Group (C) (n = 30): UACR equal or more than 300 mg/gm. Assess Urinary TNF-α and urine KIM-1 in comparision with albuminuria. Results Urinary KIM-1 and urinary TNF-α are statically significant with albuminuria in patients in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy (eGFR _60 mL/min/1.73 m2).Also there are statically significance between patients with macroalbuminuria than microalbuminuria. Conclusion The results of this study recommend the use of KIM-1 and TNF-α as good predictors of early detection of development of diabetic nephropathy.

The Background and Purpose: to assess the prevalence of hypertension and micro-vascular complications among type 2 diabetic patients registered in primary health care center in Mukalla city at eastern Yemen. Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted in a randomly selected eligible patients from the diabetic registry of the AL Noor Charity Center (ACC), Mukalla city in Yemen. Results: Prevalence of hypertension in the T2DM patients were 46.7% (56/120). Retinopathy is the most micro-vascular complications among the adults having T2DM (73/120, 60.8%) while nephropathy is the least prevalence (13/120, 10.8%), prevalence of neuropathy was 49.2% (59/120). a high prevalence of retinopathy in males (66%) than females (55.7%) and a high prevalence of neuropathy in male adults (52.2%) than females (46%).No statistical significant difference were exit related to gender for any studied complications. Similar findings were observed regarding age related variations. Conclusion: A high prevalence of hypertension, retinopathy and neuropathy were reported among T2DM patients in Mukalla. Adopting effective and safe treatment strategies are highly recommended to prevent premature death and complications due to DM.

Type 2 Diabetic

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of visual loss in individuals aged 20–64 years old. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a multicenter retrospective cross-sectional study, sex-gender difference in DR in a large sample of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). 20,611 T2DM regularly attending the units for the last three years were classified as having: (a) No DR (NDR), (b) nonproliferative DR (NPDR), or (c) preproliferative/proliferative DR (PPDR). DR of all grades was present in 4294 T2DM (20.8%), with a significant higher prevalence in men as compared to women (22.0% vs. 19.3% p < 0.0001). Among DR patients, both NPDR and PPDR were significantly more prevalent in men vs. women (p = 0.001 and p = 0.0016, respectively). Women had similar age and BMI, but longer diabetes duration, worse glycemic metabolic control, and more prevalence of hypertension and chronic renal failure (CRF) of any grade vs. men. No significant differences between sexes were evident in term of drug therapy for diabetes and associate pathologies. Conclusions: In this large sample of T2DM, men show higher prevalence of DR vs. women, in spite of less represented risk factors, suggesting that male sex per se might be a risk factor for DR development.
