Adherence To Diet

Introduction:The aim of the present study was to assess the pattern of lifestyle and knowledge about diabetes mellitus among type 2 diabetic patients at two tertiary level hospitals in Mymensingh Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted from July 2015 to December 2015 among 300 patients attending at Medicine outpatient department of the Community Based Medical College Hospital and Endocrine outpatient department of the Mymensingh Medical College Hospital after obtaining requisite consent from the patients. Data were collected through the interviewing of the patients. The collected data were entered into the computer and analyzed by using SPSS version 20.1. The study was approved by the institutional ethical committee. Results: In a pool of 300 type 2 diabetics, Most of the patients (57.3%) belonged to the middle age group 41-60 years. More than half of the respondents were female (n=223, 74.3%). 97% patients were found to have knowledge about timing of dose regimen. Majority of patient’s (35.7%) knowledge about hypoglycemia was poor. The rate of adherence to diet was 51%. The rate of adherence to exercise was 68.3%. Conclusion: Majority of type 2 DM patients displayed optimal level of diabetes knowledge. There was a high rate of non adherence to diet and exercise recommendations by patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. So continuous patient education and awareness program are required.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of medication adherence to anti-diabetic drugs among type 2 diabetic patients at two tertiary level hospitals in Mymensingh. Materials and Methods: An observational, cross sectional study was conducted from January 2016 to June 2016 among patients attending at Endocrine Outpatient Department of the Mymensingh Medical College Hospital and Medicine Outpatient Department of the Community Based Medical College Hospital, after obtaining requisite consent from the patients. Once the consultation by the physician was over, the patients were interviewed. Medication adherence was assessed through the specific four questions patient questionnaire, the modified morisky instrument that has high reliability and validity and the patient was considered to be highly adherent if he or she answered in the negative to all four questions (score-0). Results: In a pool of 300 type 2 diabetics, more than half were female (n=223, 74.3%). The mean age of the patients were found to be 50.59 ± 12.57 years. Less than half (37%) of the patients were considered highly adherent, 44% patients were considered moderately adherent and 19% patients were considered poorly adherent to the prescribed anti-diabetic drugs. Conclusion: The participants in the area of study were moderately adherent to their anti-diabetic medications. Measures should be taken to improve patient’s adherence to the prescribed treatment.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the common causes of Chronic Kidney Disease which usually leads to end-stage kidney disease. Thus this study was planned to nd out the outcome of CKD in DM, disease progression, appropriate management and the complications. Methods: A cross sectional study among Diabetes Mellitus patients with Chronic Kidney Disease attending the Department of Nephrology and Department of Medicine in Thanjavur Medical College Hospital during the period of July and August 2018. The duration of study period was 2 months. All patients who attended the outpatient department (OPD) and in-patients departments with Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus associated with chronic kidney disease, on any line of management were included in this study. A total of 101 patients were included. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows V20) was used for data analysis. Results: Poor glycemic control, albuminuria, hypertriglyceridemia (greater than 150), increase in LDLlevels (greater than 100), BMI (greater than or equal to 25), poor BP control and a longer duration of diabetes mellitus had a strong positive correlation with decrease in eGFR less than 60 ml/min. Glycemic control, weight reduction and adequate BPcontrol retard the progression of CKD. Conclusion: Albuminuria and decline in eGFR both are independent risk factors for diabetic CKD and are strong predictors of morbidity and mortality from a major vascular event, especially cardiovascular complications and stroke.

A cross sectional study of 129 type 2 diabetic patients attending out patient department of Community Based Medical College Hospital was done with an aim to evaluate their metabolic control. Of the total cases, 88 (68.2%) were male and 41 (31.8%) were female. Blood glucose and lipid levels were measured by following the standard laboratory methods. The study subjects had relatively poor glycemic control. Fasting serum glucose was 7.45±2.71 (mmol/l, mean±SD); Male-7.04±2.36 and Female 8.33±3.20, p=ns'. Mean (±SD) of total cholesterol and triglyceride of the female subjects were significantly higher compared to the male counterpart (p=0.01 for both). About 71% and 78.0% female subjects had triglyceride and HDLc abnormality compared to 63.3% and 61.4% respectively in their male counterpart. Fasting glucose level showed significant positive correlation with triglyceride among total and male study subjects (p=0.003 for both). In case of total cholesterol significant positive association was among total and female subjects (p=0.005 and 0.007 respectively).  The data concluded that (i) relatively large number of diabetic patients were having dyslipidemia of either component or in combination; and (ii) attention needs to be paid to address this issue of dyslipidemia and to avoid or at least delay the coronary artery and atherosclerotic complications of these subjects.

This was a descriptive cross-sectional comparative study carried out in Department of Medicine, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital and Rajshahi Diabetic Association Hospital from July 2008 to June 2010. 100 (one hundred) diagnosed type2 diabetic patients and 30 apparently healthy people were included. All of those study population were free from taking any hepatoxic drugs and free from any preexisting liver disease. This exclusion was done by history, through clinical examination and relevant investigations. The prevalence of abnormal serum bilirubin, ALT, AST, Alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time and S. albumin were 6%, 30%, 7%, 6%, 54% and 12% respectively in type2 diabetic patients and 00%, 3.3%, 00%, 6.7%, 10% and 3.3% respectively in normal people. All the LFTs of type 2 diabetic patients were mildly abnormal except 2 patients (2%) had moderate elevation of ALT, 7 patient (7%) had markedly prolonged PT, and 1 patient (1%) had moderately decreased s. albumin. In normal people all LFTs abnormalities were mild.TAJ 2016; 29(1): 21-23
