Prediabetes is defined as a state of abnormal glucose homeostasis where blood glucose levels are elevated above those considered normal, but not as high as those required for a diagnosis of diabetes. Prediabetes is associated with high risks of developing serious diseases and poor quality of life of the patient. Globally, there are about 352.1 million people with prediabetes. By 2045, the number of able-bodied patients with a similar diagnosis is expected to double to 587 million. In this connection, timely diagnosis and identification of risk groups for the correction of carbohydrate metabolism is of great importance. The article provides data from numerous studies, a description of tactics and methods of treatment for patients with prediabetes.

ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus is an abnormality of insulin secretion, insulin action, or both of which are marked by an increase in blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia. Various problems caused by diabetes mellitus often make individuals experience excessive anxiety, this can affect the quality of life.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social and family support on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working area of Mangasa Health Center in Makassar City. The research method uses descriptive analytic with cross sectiona technique approach. The results of the study using unpaired t test showed that there is a social influence sampling on quality of life (p = 0.02), and there is a family influence on quality of life (p = 0.01). The conclusion from the results of the study is that there is an influence of social and family support on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Keywords : Diabetes mellitus, social and family support, quality of life ABSTRAK Diabetes mellitus merupakan kelainan sekresi insulin, kerja insulin, atau keduanya yang ditandai dengan kenaikan kadar glukosa darah atau hiperglikemia. Berbagai masalah yang disebabkan oleh diabetes mellitus seringkali membuat individu mengalami kecemasan yang berlebihan, hal ini dapat mempengaruhi kualtas hidupnya. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh dukungan sosial dan keluarga terhadap kualitas hidup pasien diabete mellitus tipe 2 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Mangasa Kota Makassar. Metode penelitian menggunakan descriptive analytic dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan uji t tidak berpasangan menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh dukungan sosial terhadap kualitas hidup (p = 0,02), dan ada pengaruh dukungan keluarga terhadap kualitas hidup (p = 0,01). Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah ada pengaruh dukungan sosial dan keluarga terhadap kualitas hidup pasien diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Kata kunci : Diabetes mellitus, dukungan sosial dan keluarga, kualitas hidup

Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine the associations between patient dissatisfaction and diabetes outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Primary data from 615 adults with type 2 diabetes from 2 adult primary care clinics completed validated questionnaires. Patient dissatisfaction was measured by asking participants to what degree over the past 12 months were they very dissatisfied with the care they received from their primary care provider. Diabetes outcomes included self-care behaviors, quality of life, and A1C. A1C was abstracted from the medical record. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess associations between patient dissatisfaction, self-care, blood glucose, and quality of life. Results After adjusting for covariates, this study demonstrated that higher patient dissatisfaction was significantly associated with poor general diet, worse blood glucose levels, and lower mental component score for quality of life. Conclusions In patients with type 2 diabetes, patient dissatisfaction had a significant association with higher blood glucose levels, poor general diet, and low quality of life. Demographic factors driving patient dissatisfaction included young age, low income, and low health literacy. Future studies should investigate how to address patient satisfaction in an effort to improve health outcomes.

Over the last few years, the question, “can type 2 diabetes be reversed?” came to the surface after several observations of partial or complete remission from the disease were seen in response to surgical and non-surgical interventions for weight management. This leads us to propose an alternative model for type 2 diabetes management by targeting body weight instead of our current classic model of targeting blood glucose levels by anti-hyperglycemic medications. The proposed alternative model may be successful in the early stages of type 2 diabetes as we currently have several effective tools. Untimely, this model of intervention may reduce cost and improve patients’ quality of life.

Abstract Background: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have been used to manage diabetes with reasonable glucose control among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in recent decades. CGM systems measure interstitial fluid glucose levels to provide information about glucose levels, which identifies fluctuation that would not have been identified with conventional self-monitoring. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a classical tool to achieve glycaemic control. However, the effectiveness of glucose control, costs, and quality of life are needed to evaluate and compare CGM and SMBG among adults with T2D.Methods: The review will compare the various forms of CGM systems (i.e flash-CGM, real-time-CGM, retrospective-CGM) versus SMBG/usual intervention regarding diabetes management among adults with T2D. The following databases will be searched: Cochrane Library, Science Direct, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and grey literature for the identification of studies. The studies involving adults (aged ≥ 18 years old) will be included. We will include and summararize randomised clinical trials (RCTs) with respect to authors, publication type, year, status, and type of devices. Studies published in English between February 2010 and March 2020 will be included as the field of CGMs among T2D patients has emerged over the last decade. Primary outcomes that will be measured will be; HbA1c, body weight, time spent with hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia, blood pressure, quality of life. Secondary outcome measured will be morbidity, all-cause mortality, user satisfaction, and barriers. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment will be conducted independently by at least two authors. A third author will determine and resolve discrepancies. Moreover, the quality of the evidence of the review will be assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Tool (GRADE).Discussion: The systematic review will synthesise evidence on the comparison between using CGMs and SMBG. The results will support researchers and health care professionals to determine the most effective methods/technologies in the overall diabetes management. Moreover, this review will provide more detailed information about the barriers of using CGMs to improve implementation.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42020149212
