ANTECEDENTES: la disfunción eréctil es la incapacidad para conseguir y mantener una erección que permita una penetración sexual satisfactoria en 50% de las veces, en un periodo de tres meses. Entre las causas orgánicas, la diabetes mellitus representa 30%. A pesar de esta relación la prevalencia es poco conocida en nuestro medio.OBJETIVO: determinar la asociación entre el control glucémico y la disfunción eréctil en diabéticos.MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio observacional, transversal y analítico al que se incluyeron pacientes que no refirieron complicaciones al momento del estudio. A todos se les aplicó el cuestionario IIFE-5 (Índice Internacional de la Función Eréctil) para detectar si padecían o no disfunción eréctil, se compararon las concentraciones de hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), y se analizó su asociación mediante la aplicación de la razón de momios.RESULTADOS: en 362 pacientes se encontró una prevalencia de disfunción eréctil de 72.3% (n=272), de estos 80.9% (n=212) estaban en descontrol glucémico, con una razón de momios de 6.92 (IC95%: 4.16 a 11.50).CONCLUSIONES: en los pacientes diabéticos existe una relación 7:1 de probabilidad de disfunción eréctil versus pacientes con adecuado control glucémico.PALABRAS CLAVE: diabetes mellitus, disfunción eréctil, hemoglobina glucosilada, control glucémico.  AbstractBACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection that enables satisfactory sexual penetration 50% of the time, within a 3-month period. Diabetes mellitus is the organic cause in 30% of cases, but despite this relation, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is not well known in Mexico.OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between glycemic control and erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional, analytic study included diabetic patients that did not complain of complications at the time of the study. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire was applied to detect whether or not the patients presented with erectile dysfunction. Their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were compared and the association with erectile dysfunction was analyzed through the odds ratio.RESULTS: The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in 362 patients was 72.3% (n=272). Of those patients with erectile dysfunction, 80.9% (n=212) had inadequate glycemic control, with an odds ratio of 6.92 (95% CI: 4.16 to 11.50).CONCLUSIONS: The odds ratio of presenting with erectile dysfunction for diabetic men with inadequate glycemic control and patients with adequate glycemic control was 7:1.KEY WORDS: Diabetes mellitus; Erectile dysfunction; Glycated hemoglobin; Glycemic control

Diabetic patients with associated dyslipidemia are easy targets for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Glycated hemoglobin predicts the risk for the development of diabetic complications. This study was an attempt to determine lipid abnormalities associated with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus and association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and serum lipid profile to assess the importance of HbA1c as an indicator of dyslipidemia and future risk of cardiovascular disease in Bhola District, Barisal. In this cross-sectional study, 200 known patients of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus within 35-85 years of age were randomly selected. They were investigated for HbA1c and lipid profile. The data were evaluated by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0 version software. Independent samples t-test (2-tailed) was used to compare means of anthropometric, clinical and laboratory parameters and the effect of the glycemic control on their lipid profile was determined using correlation coefficient. Amongst the study group, 65% patients showed poor glycemic control, 35% with good glycemic control and 59.60% patient’s haddyslipidemia.HbA1c was found to have significant positive correlation with total cholesterol (TCHO), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) and significant negative correlation with high density lipoprotein (HDL-C). The mean value of TC, LDL-C and TG was found to be lower in patients with good glycemic control than those with poor glycemic control. These differences were significant at the level of P<0.05. These findings conclude that the glycemic control of the patient has got a strong impact on the serum lipid level and dyslipidemia is frequently encountered in those who have got poor glycemic control.Res.

Adherence To Treatment

Diabetes mellitus is associated with impairment in cognitive functions which can complicate adherence to self-care behaviors. We evaluated the incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with diabetes mellitus to determine the strength of the association between diabetic foot (a complication that occurs in about 10% of diabetic patients), adherence to the clinician’s recommendations, glycemic control, and cognitive function. A prospective study was carried out in a probabilistic sample of older patients with diabetic foot living in three nursing homes. Cognitive functions were evaluated by the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination), the Trail Making test (TMT), and the Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI). There were no significant associations between cognitive function and neuropathy or foot alterations, although glycated hemoglobin (HB1Ac > 7%) significantly (p < 0.05) associated with MMSE and adherence to treatment in the 1 month follow-up visit. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that both HB1Ac and the MNSI score significantly (p < 0.05) discriminate subsequent adherence to treatment for foot complication, with a sensitivity of 80.0–73.3% and specificity 70.6–64.7%, respectively. Proper control of foot complications in diabetic patients involves appropriate glycemic control and less severe neuropathy, and seems to be unrelated to cognitive dysfunction, and warrants further studies in order to tailor appropriate treatments to central and peripheral nervous system disorders. Poor glycemic control (Hb1Ac level > 7%) and a neuropathy score of 5.5 in the MNSI are the best-cut off points to discriminate poor adherence to the clinician’s recommendations for self-care behaviors in people with diabetic foot complication. In this study, we observed that foot disorders were associated with impaired global cognitive function in elderly patients (aged ≥ 65). Podiatrists and physicians should consider cognitive dysfunction as an important chronic complication in the management of diabetic foot.

ABSTRACT Objective To review the dietary intake of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes Mellitus and its association with the glycemic profile. Methods Longitudinal observational study. Dietary intake was measured using a three-day dietary record and the glycemic profile with a continuous glucose monitoring (range between 70 and 180mg/dL) and serum glycated hemoglobin levels (ideal <7.5%). Anthropometric data, insulin therapy, and carbohydrate counting were collected. Results The sample included 34 individuals with type 1 diabetes Mellitus aged 13.6±2.1 years. The majority of the population was eutrophic (76.4%). The entire sample used the basal-bolus insulin regimen, with mean insulin dose of 1.0±0.2U/kg/day; for 44.1% of the sample the carbohydrate counting method was used. Macronutrients intake was adequate in only 8.8% of the individuals, the highest frequency of inadequacy was related to carbohydrates (p=0.07). Inadequate glycemic control with hyperglycemia episodes and high mean glycated hemoglobin (9.7%) was observed in all individuals (61.3±18.5%). Carbohydrate counting was responsible for maintaining the percentage of time that the patient had interstitial blood glucose values within the range >40% (p<0.001) and maintaining the percentage of time in hyperglycemia <50% (p<0.001). Conclusion The majority of individuals were eutrophic, but presented inadequate dietary intake and glycemic control. The method of counting carbohydrates positively influenced the glycemic profile.

Background and Objectives: There is evidence that melatonin could improve the periodontal status and also glycemic control of patients with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of scaling and root planing plus adjunctive systemic treatment with melatonin on periodontal parameters and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic periodontitis. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 54 subjects with periodontitis and diabetes mellitus randomly assigned to the study group (n = 27, subjects with scaling and root planing + melatonin) or control group (n = 27, subjects with scaling and root planing + placebo). Periodontal parameters (probing depth—PD; clinical attachment loss—CAL; bleeding on probing—BOP; and hygiene level) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks after. Results: At baseline, there were no significant differences between groups, but at the second evaluation 8 weeks later the association of melatonin with the non-surgical periodontal therapy exerted statistically significant improvements, both in periodontal parameters, with a significant decrease in periodontal disease severity, and glycated hemoglobin when compared to the control subjects. Conclusions: In our study, combined non-surgical periodontal treatment and systemic treatment with melatonin provided additional improvements to severe periodontal condition and the glycemic control of patients with diabetes type 2 when compared to non-surgical periodontal treatment alone.

Background: The risk for developing diabetic complications are related to glycemic control which is measured by estimating the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level. Calcium increases the GLUT 4 activity. Change in calcium alters the insulin receptor phosphorylation, and decreases the activity of glucose transporter Objective: To nd out the correlation between serum Calcium and glycated Haemoglobin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Materials And Methodology: A cross sectional study which included 100 type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients, divided into 2 groups based on HbA1c levels. Group 1 : Type 2 Diabetic patients with HbA1c more than 7 percent and Group 2 : Type 2 Diabetic patients with HbA1c less than 7 percent. Total calcium level was correlated with glycated hemoglobin level. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired t test. Result: The mean value of serum total calcium was lower in the diabetic group whose HbA1c was > 7 (p value – 0.000) when compared to the diabetic group whose HbA1c was <7. A strong negative correlation (r = -0.391) between calcium and HbA1c in the T2 diabetic patients with HbA1c >7 (p = 0.000) was observed. Conclusion: Alteration in calcium levels will have adverse effects on insulin secretion and release. Estimating the level of calcium becomes important to know the status of insulin in diabetic patients and correlating the levels of HbA1c and Serum Calcium in Type 2 DM patients, can monitor the levels of glycemic control and the risk of development of complications. Calcium supplementation to the diabetic patients can help in better glycemic control and prevent diabetes related complications
