Background: Type II Diabetes Mellitus is the most common non-communicable diseases among the elderly. Several modifiable and non-modifiable factors contributed to the occurrence of these diseases.Purpose: Describing of the factors related to the occurrence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus among the elderly at an integrated development post non- communicable diseases (Posbindu PTM Way Halim) Bandar Lampung-Indonesia.Methods: The type of this research is quantitative, from database in the medical record with total of 74 by purposive random sampling. Data analyzed by univariate and bivariate (chi-squared).Results: Smoker (p-value =  0.016; OR 3.429), physical activity (p-value = 0,000 ; OR 7.467) and waist circumference (p-value = 0.011 OR 4,091). Those were main factors that influence  to the occurrence of DM among eldely. Conclusion: It is suggested to management Public Health Services (Puskesmas) to establish a more integrated development post non- infectious diseases (Posbindu) to reach all the elderly. By controlling all of the factors that influence the occurrence of type II DM in various ways, so that the elderly will have a better life and prevent the complications

Aim: To measure the levels of Serum electrolytes (Na+, K+ ,Cl )in type II DM individuals and to compare it with healthy controls. Methods: A case control study was conducted at Medicine Department, from March 2019 to September 2019. A total of 60 patients ,comprised of 30 confirmed type II DM patients as cases and 30 healthy individuals of similar criteria were treated as controls. In both the groups,biochemical measurement of Serum electrolytes (Na+, K+ ,Cl ),FBS was studied and the results were compared. Results: Inindividuals with Diabetes mellitus sodium and chloride showed insignificant alterations.There was an increase in serum potassium levels which was found to be statistically highly significant (p-value less than or equal to 0.05) . The drift of potassium from intracellular space to extracellular space leads to Hyperkalaemia which is due torenal impairment, insulin deficiency or hypertonicity. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is significant association of potassium with hyperglycemic crisis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus serum electrolytes has to be routinely monitored in diabetic individuals since electrolyte derangements are markedly found in uncontrolled diabetes.

BackgroundDermatoglyphics is frequently used in understanding the proximity with non-communicable diseases including diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases all over the world. The present study is an attempt to understand the association of palmer dermatoglyphic traits [i.e. a-b ridge count (ABRC), c-d ridge count (CDRC), presence of multiple number of axial triradii (t, t' & t") in a single palm, td ridge count (TDRC), atd angle, btd angle and ctd angle] with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Material and methodsSubjects included 30 clinically diagnosed adult female T2DM patients and 60 healthy controls from the Bengalee Hindu Caste population of West Bengal, India. Bilateral palm prints were collected following standard ink and roller method. Results Present study revealed that T2DM patients have significantly (p<0.05) lower ABRC, CDRC and TDRC. On the other hand, significantly (p<0.05) higher presence of multiple number of axial triradii t, t' & t" was found in the palm of T2DM patients compared to the controls. T2DM patients also demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) higher values of atd and btd angle. However, T2DM patients demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) lower value of ctd angle than that of controls, only when both hand were considered. ConclusionThe results the present study indicated that dermatoglyphic traits may be used for early identification of at risk individuals for surveillance with a view to prevent the disease onset.Journal of Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 3, No. 2, 2016

 Korespondensi [email protected]  Keywords:   Family Support, Stress, Diabetes MellitusObjective: To identify determine the relationship of family support with stress events in elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This article uses analytical research with cross sectional design of 65 elderly in the Sekupang Health Center Work Area. The implementation time for 7 days starts on 4-10 June 2020. Sampling using a purposive sampling technique. The measuring instrument in this study was a questionnaire HDFSS and PSS. Analysis of the data used is the Chi-Square Test. Results: The results shows that there is a relationship between family support and the incidence of stress in elderly people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the work area of Sekupang Health Center (p value 0.002) α = 0.005). It is hoped that elderly families can provide good family support so as not to cause mild stress events in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: (a) Most of the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus did not receive family support with mild stress, amounting to 28 elderly (43.1%). (b) Most of the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellius experienced severe stress events with less supportive family support, amounting to 9 elderly (13.8%). (c) There is a significant relationship between family support and the incidence of stress in the elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the work area of the Sekupang Health Center, Batam City in 2020, with the Chi-Square statistical test obtained a P-value of 0.002 <0.05.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a major health burden for the elderly population, affecting approximately 25% of people over the age of 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase dramatically in the next decades in relation to the increased longevity of the population observed in recent years. Beyond microvascular and macrovascular complications, sarcopenia has been described as a new diabetes complication in the elderly population. Increasing attention has been paid by researchers and clinicians to this age-related condition—characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass together with the loss of muscle power and function—in individuals with T2DM; this is due to the heavy impact that sarcopenia may have on physical and psychosocial health of diabetic patients, thus affecting their quality of life. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an update on: (1) the risk of sarcopenia in individuals with T2DM, and (2) its association with relevant features of patients with T2DM such as age, gender, body mass index, disease duration, glycemic control, presence of microvascular or macrovascular complications, nutritional status, and glucose-lowering drugs. From a clinical point of view, it is necessary to improve the ability of physicians and dietitians to recognize early sarcopenia and its risk factors in patients with T2DM in order to make appropriate therapeutic approaches able to prevent and treat this condition.
