Background: Prediabetes status describes as the condition of blood glucose level above normal but insufficient to be diagnosed as diabetes. The stage of prediabetes is a critical condition of blood glucose level, but could reverse to be normal again if healthy lifestyle is routinely performed. In USA one of three people diagnosed with prediabetes. But most people did not realize that they had prediabetes history. The increasing number of prediabetes occurs due to the absence of typical symptoms. If prediabetes detected earlier, the rate of diabetes mellitus could be prevented. This study aims to examine some behaviors that affect the prediabetes status of patients in Pati II health center. Method: This is an explanatory research with cross sectional approach. Samples were rucruited using inclusion criteria such as aged 40–59 years, not diagnosed as diabetes, abdominal circumference more than 90 for men and 80 for women. There were 117 respondents involved in this study.   Results: This research showed that the number of respondents with prediabetes status was 39.3%. Respondents with blood glucose level ranged more than 200 mg/dl were 6%. The variables that influence the prediabetes status of the respondents were Body Mass Index with OR 3.591 (p value 0.011), diet pattern with OR 2.435 (p value 0.044), and smoking habit or passive smoking with OR 2.493 (p value 0.046). This study recommends to prevent the prediabetes to be diabetes, needed the socialization of healthy lifestyle to the community and early detection of prediabetes. Early prevention includes changes to people healthy lifestyles such as maintaining healthy body weight, doing physical activity routinely, healthy eating patterns, avoiding cigarette smoke and smoking habits.Keywords: prediabetes, BMI, diet, smoking

Abstract: NaF or Sodium Fluoride are anticoagulants which often used for sampling tests of blood glucose levels because NaF is considered to inhibit the process of glycolysis. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference of blood glucose level that delayed for 2 hours using NaF anticoagulant and without using NaF anticoagulant at students of Medical Laboratory Pontianak. This research method was in the form of Cross-Sectional research. Sampling technique by random sampling with 39 people in total. Glucose examination method used was a method of glucose oxidase using blood serum. The result was the average value of blood glucose level using anticoagulant NaF was 80,256 mg/dl. While the average of blood glucose levels without the use of NaF anticoagulants was 73,589 mg/dl. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using paired t-test result (p = 0,001 <a 0,05). It can be concluded that there was a difference of blood glucose level when using NaF anticoagulant and without using NaF anticoagulant on students of Medical Laboratory Pontianak.Abstrak: Antikoagulan NaF atau Natrium Flourida adalah antikoagulan yang sering digunakan untuk sampling bahan pemeriksaan kadar glukosa darah, karena NaF dianggap mampu menghambat proses glikolisis.

Abstract Background Regardless of the diabetic status of patients with coronary artery disease, both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia are adversely associated with cardiovascular events. Numerous studies have concluded that hyperglycemia is common in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with STelevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is associated with a higher risk of death and in-hospital complications. Aim and Objectives The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between elevated preprocedural random blood glucose level and peri-procedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients and Methods This Cohort study included 110 patients who presented with chronic coronary syndrome to the cardiology department of Ain Shams university hospitals and underwent elective PCI. They were divided into 2 equal groups, 55 as hyperglycemic group and 55 as euglycemic group. Blood glucose level was measured immediately before the procedure. Blood samples for cardiac troponin (I) were obtained before the procedure and 12 hours after the procedure. Results There was statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding incidence of both myocardial infarction and myocardial injury, both being higher among the hyperglycemic group (P-value: 0.022) &(P-value: 0.001) respectively. All five patients who had myocardial infarction belonged to the hyperglycemic group. 23 patients with myocardial injury belonged to the hyperglycemic group while only 7 patients with myocardial injury belonged to the euglycemic group. Conclusion We conclude that abnormally high pre-procedural plasma glucose levels in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty are associated with an increased incidence of peri-procedural myocardial injury and infarction in patients undergoing elective PCI.

Objective: The aim of this study is to observe the effect of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) on patients with advanced stage of prostate cancer on the lipid profile and blood glucose level. Material & Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study and include the prostate cancer patients which were admitted to Urology Policlinic in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan from June 2014 – June 2015 and also received ADT. Results: From June 2014 – June 2015, a total of 25 prostate cancer patients receiving ADT was included in this study with an average age of 67.08 ± 7.48 years old. The median prostate specific antigen (PSA) level of this group of patients is 19.6 ng/mL and the lowest and highest value of 3.4 and 278 ng/mL respectively. ADT administration is found to cause a significant elevation of 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (121.12 ± 21 mg/mL vs 134.64 ± 33.35 mg/mL, p-value=0.011) and Glycosylated hemoglobin (5 ± 0.5% vs 5.5 ± 0.79%, p-value=0.000) (HbA1c) after 6 months of therapy. Additionally, ADT administration within 3 and 6 months of duration had also significantly increased triglyceride (TG) level when compared to before treatment (104.4 ± 38.67 vs 131.2 ± 32.27 vs 127 ± 33.43 respectively, p-value=0.005). Conclusion: ADT treatment in prostate cancer patients increase triglyceride levels after 3 and 6 months of treatment followed by 2-hour postprandial blood glucose and HbA1C levels after 6 months of the treatment.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health challenge. TBI contributes to chronic physical impairment and also disrupt mental and personality aspects. Cognitive dysfunction is influenced by multiple factors, including blood glucose level. The objective of the study was to analyze the association between blood glucose level and cognitive dysfunction among TBI patients.Methods: A hospital-based observational study was conducted with cross-sectional design for six months period. Population of research were all of TBI patients treated at the emergency unit. Eligible sample were obtained with total sampling technique. Dyslgycemia was defined as random blood glucose level outside the range of 80-200mg/dl; cognitive dysfunction was defined as MMSE score <26. Statistical analysis with SPSS version 17.0 was employed. Chi square test and odd ratio were executed, p value <0,05 were regarded as significant level.Results: Majority of the 124 patients was male (75.8%), in 21-30 age group (20.7%), mostly due to RTA, specifically from motorcycle-related accident. Most of the motorcyclist (56,5%) were not using helmet. Unconsciousness was in 65.8% sample. Seizure was found in 3.9% of total patients; almost half of patients had history of headache (40.8%). Vomit was found in 30.3% of patients. Vertigo or dizziness post-trauma was in 3.9% patients; almost one third of patients had history of alcohol consumption (30.3%). Majority (65.8%) were in GCS 13-15. Proportion of dysglycemia and cognitive dysfunction were 4.8% and 14.5% consecutively. Odd ratio analysis revealed that dysglycemic group have 3 times higher risk to develop cognitive dysfunction, but the association was statistically not significant.Conclusions: The association between random blood glucose level and cognitive dysfunction among acute traumatic brain injury was statistically not significant.

Blood sugar level is actually the estimation of the total glucose sugar content in the one’s blood. Insulin and Glucagon are the two key hormones responsible for maintaining homeostasis which sustain blood glucose level. Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia are the two conditions associated with blood sugar level. In case of hypoglycemia, blood glucose level falls below the normal level of glucose in the blood while hyperglycemia is the condition of elevated blood glucose level than the normal range. Different tests are available to test the blood glucose level of an individual. The central objective of this project was to assess the inter-connection between one’s being suriphobic and their blood sugar level at fasting. Phobia is a word associated with the condition of extreme fear from a series of specified events. Suriphobia or mice fear is the term used for those individuals who extremely fear from mice, rats, rodents etc. This study was a questionnaire based project to assess the fact that if there is any inter-connection between people’s being suriphobic and their blood glucose level at fasting. For this purpose blood sugar level of the sample population was calculated using Glucometer. Statistical Analysis point towards the significant results if this study as the calculated p-value was exact of the standard p¬-value which is p ≤ 0.05. Therefore, the fact that there is a significant relation between individual’s being Suriphobe and their Blood Glucose Level at fasting is proved.
