According to the literature, uncontrolled glycemia can be a strong predictor of severe morbidity and mortality in different types of viral infections. Hyperglycemia can make the condition worse in diabetic and nondiabetic patients infected with sever acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Therefore, maintaining blood glucose levels low (within the safe range of 70-100 mg/ mg/dl) seems to be beneficial in our battle against Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Diabetes Melitus

Abstract:Blood glucose levels are affected by several factors such as age, insulin hormone, emotion, stress, type and amount of food consumed and physical activities. Lifestyle changes such as eating foods lacking of fiber and contain lots of sugar is now very popular, especially in young people. This type of diet is one of the risk factors for overweight and if it lasts continuously will increase the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus. The aim of this descriptive study was to find out the level of fasting blood glucose of students of Faculty of Medicine year 2011 Sam Ratulangi University with Body Mass Index (BMI) 18.5-22.9 kg/m2. Data was collected by measuring BMI and determine fasting blood glucose level through laboratory examination. The results of this study showed that all of 31 respondens, consist of 9 men (29,03%) and 22 women (70,96%) had normal blood glucose levels (93,55%). From the result can be concluded that the blood glucose levels at students year 2011 Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulangi University with BMI 18,5-22,9 kg/m2 mostly are in normal levels.Keywords: fasting blood glucose, students year 2011, BMI 18.5- 22.9 kg/m2.Abstrak: Kadar glukosa darah dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor seperti usia, hormon insulin, emosi, stress, jenis dan jumlah makanan yang dikonsumsi serta aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan. Perubahan gaya hidup seperti pergeseran pola makan dengan makanan kurang serat dan mengandung banyak gula kini sangat digemari terutama oleh anak muda. Hal ini menjadi salah satu faktor risiko kelebihan berat badan dan bila berlangsung terus-menerus akan meningkatkan insiden penyakit Diabetes Melitus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa darah puasa pada mahasiswa angkatan 2011 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) 18,5-22,9 kg/m2. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif. Responden dari penelitian ini berusia 18-20 tahun. Responden terdiri dari laki-laki sebanyak 9 orang dan perempuan sebanyak 22 orang. Data diperoleh dengan pengukuran Indeks Massa Tubuh dan pemeriksaan laboratorium yaitu kadar glukosa darah puasa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dari 31 responden yang terdiri dari 9 orang laki-laki (29,03%) dan 22 orang perempuan (70,96%), hampir semua (93,55%) memiliki kadar glukosa darah normal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada mahasiswa angkatan 2011 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan IMT 18,5-22,9 kg/m2 sebagian besar memiliki kadar glukosa darah puasa yang normal.Kata Kunci: Glukosa darah puasa, mahasiswa angkatan 2011, IMT 18,5-22,9 kg/m2.

Background Ocular and visual problems are frequent consequences of an acquired brain injury (ABI). The literature suggests that many patients demonstrate a myopic shift in refractive error after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a form of an ABI. Three reported courses are suggested. Most commonly the myopia resolves under cycloplegic conditions, secondly the shift is transient, and least commonly the myopia increases over time. This case report, although not due to a TBI, is an example of the least common subgroup. Case Report The patient, a 63 year-old male, presented with a history (15 months prior to initial evaluation) of an excised right frontal temporal lobe tumour. The history included dexamethasone 4mg QD pre- and post-surgery which caused blood glucose levels to fluctuate between 5.72-22.2 mmol/l; a stroke occured postsurgery causing hemiparesis on his left side; and shunt surgery to decrease swelling to the area of excision and the optic nerves. Medications included: Cartia, lisinopril, Toprol XL, prednisone, Reglan, and Temodar. The patient was receiving chemotherapy to treat remnants of the tumour. His last eye exam in 2004 indicated a refractive error of -2.50-1.25X080 in his right eye and -3.000.75X080 in his left eye with visual acuity of 6/7.5 in both the right and left eye. He presented to our clinic with an aided visual acuity of 8/100 (6/110) in both the right and left eye and a left homonymous hemianopsia on finger counting fields. Cycloplegic retinoscopy revealed -6.003.00X090 in his right eye and -6.002.00X090 in his left eye. Dilated fundus exam showed mild swelling of both optic nerves. The patient reported blood glucose levels of 103-140. At a one-month follow-up, his best corrected visual acuity at a distance improved to 6/60 in both the right and left eye through the new prescription. His cycloplegic retinoscopy did not show any change in myopia or astigmatism and the disk edema was resolved.  Conclusion This case illustrates an unusual presentation of myopic shift post ABI. The patient’s condition continued to deteriorate eventually taking his life. It remains unclear whether the myopia and astigmatism continued to increase or remained stable. Although, the cause of this change is not fully understood and needs further investigation, providing appropriate optical correction did improve the patient’s quality-of-life.

AbstractThe ratios of reduced and oxidized nicotinamide nucleotides (NADH/NAD+ and NADPH/ NADP+) were indirectly determined at various stages of cataractogenesis by estimating the concentrations of metabolites (lactate, pyruvate and malate) of the lens. The ratios of NADH/NAD+ and NADPH/NADP+ decreased significantly from immature to mature (P<.001, P<.05). to hypermature (P<.001, P<.05), to Morgagnian (Pc.001. Pc.001) and diabetic types (Pc.001, P < .001) of cataractous lenses respectively. Ratios of nicotinamide nucleotides in diabetic lenses were lower in comparison to those of other types studied. As the opacity progressed, the ratios decreased with increase in blood glucose levels.

Neonatal Hyperglycaemia

Transient neonatal diabetes and neonatal hyperglycaemia both present in the neonatal period with features of hyperglycaemia, dehydration and weight loss. Differentiating these conditions clinically is difficult. We describe the case of a 13 day old female whom we managed recently who could have had either condition. Hyperglycaemia is not as commonly documented as would be expected for the frequency of neonatal disease and when it does occur, it will worsen neonatal morbidity and mortality. Blood glucose levels in babies ondextrose infusion should be monitored regularly in order to help individualiseglucose requirements.
