COVID-19 is a disease caused by infection with a coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 patients with diabetes have a poor prognosis and thus have a shorter life expectancy than those without diabetes. This is because COVID-19 causes severe lung dysfunction and inflammation. The purpose of the study is to find out the description of diagnostic of COVID-19 patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus type 2 at Royal Prima general hospital Medan in 2020. The case study design method is descriptive with a retrospective approach, the sample size of 63 patient medical records is taken by purposive sampling, a complete medical record and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Most patients were aged more than 50 years old (66.7%) and female (50.8%). With symptoms of fever (84.1%), cough (87.3%), shortness of breath (87.3%), headache (28.6%), diarrhea (9.5%), nausea (42.9%), abdominal pain (31.7%), loss of smell (20.6%). The longest hospitalization time (11-20 days) (46%). It can be concluded that the most age is > 50 years, the most gender is female and the most clinical symptoms are cough and shortness of breath.

The Impact

Diabetes – a disease in which the effect of the treatment substantially depends on the patient. Known a study showed that the use of glucometers with the technology of three-color display of test results facilitates self-monitoring of blood sugar and leads to a decrease in glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc). Purpose of the study: to modeling the impact of using of a glucometer with a color-coded display on the clinical outcomes of diabetes mellitus and calculating, the potential economic benefits of reducing the hospitalization rate of patients with diabetes. Material and methods. Based on data from two studies (O. Schnell et al. and M. Baxter et al.) simulation of the reduction in the number of complications with the use of a glucometer with a color indication. In a study by O. Schnell et al. a decrease of HbA1c by 0.69 percent is shown when using the considered type of glucometers, which was the basis of the model. Results. In the model, the use of a glucometer with a color-coded display for type 1 diabetes led to a decrease in the total number of complications by 9.2 thousand over 5 years per a cohort of 40 thousand patients with different initial levels of HbA1c. In a cohort of 40 thousand patients with type 2 diabetes, the simulated number of prevented complications was 1.7 thousand over 5 years. When extrapolating these data to all patients with diabetes included in the federal register of diabetes mellitus (FRD), the number of prevented complications was 55.4 thousand cases for type 1 diabetes and 67.1 thousand cases for type 2 diabetes. The possible economic effect from the use of the device by all patients with a diagnosis of diabetes, which are included in the FRD, estimated at 1.5 billion rubles for a cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes and 5.3 billion rubles for patients with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion. Improving the effectiveness of self-monitoring, which is the result of the use of glucometers with color indicators, can potentially significantly reduce the incidence of complications in diabetes and thereby provide significant economic benefits to society.

Objectives: Vascular Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive technique to rapidly detect lesions of the vessels in the lower extremities with high accuracy. The use of this technique for detecting early vascular damages in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 could help preventing major vascular complications caused by this disease. Materials and Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 31 patients with type 2 DM who were treated in Endocrinology - Neurology - Respiratory Department, Hue Central Hospital between March and August 2011. All patients were undergone clinical and biochemical examinations, and Doppler ultrasound for detection of arterial lesions in their lower extremities. Results: Most patients had high intima media thickness (IMT) (77.42%), and all of them suffered from hypertension concomitant, with the rate of atherosclerotic plaque accounted for 35.48%. No one experienced arterial stenosis >50% and arterial occlusions, but the peak systolic velocities were significantly higher in patients with atherosclerotic plaques than those without atherosclerotic plaques. Conclusion: Vascular Doppler ultrasound should be used as routine test for early detection of arterial lesions in patients with type 2 DM.

Introduction: Lower urinary tract dysfunctions secondary to type 2 DM are common, chronic and costly disorders. The incidence of diabetic bladder dysfunction was estimated range between 43% and 87% for type 1 and 25% for type 2 diabetes. Ultrasonography is an easy-to-use, fast, safe, non-invasive, painless, pleasant and valuable method of assessing Bladder Post-Void Residual Volume (PVR). Aim: To investigate prevalence of bladder dysfunction and its relation with risk factors, clinical features of diabetic cystopathy in women with diabetes, to identify the values predicting to have postvoid residual volume of the risk factors. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study, a cohort of 84 female inpatients and outpatients with diabetes mellitus who were treated at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 08/2017 to 08/2019 and 84 healthy control subjects were enrolled, the patients were carried out clinical finding, taken blood tests, and estimated postvoid residual volume using 2D ultrasound. Results: the postvoid residual volume was presented in 67 cases (79.80%), the clinical symptoms of diabetic cystopathy were reported in 75% of women with diabetes. Blood glucose, HbA1c, clinical symptoms of diabetic cystopathy, postural hypotension and diabetic peripheral neuropathy were associated with postvoid residual volume. The HbA1c level had a great capability to predict who had postvoid residual volume, at HbA1c cutoff value of 9.1%, Se 65.67%, Sp 94.12%, AUC 0.811, p < 0.001. Conclusion: Bladder dysfunction made up a highly prevalent in women with poor glycemic control. Key words: bladder dysfunction, diabetic cystopathy, bladder postvoid residual volume (PVR)

Background: Self-care is essential for the prevention of complications in patients with diabetes, but several authors report that even with health education programs, the incidence of complications in patients with diabetes continues to increase. Objective: We aimed to examine adherence to self-care strategies and the repercussions of adherence on the clinical profiles of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched for related studies in 4 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Literature (LILACS). We included observational studies in English and Portuguese that evaluated the effects of selfcare in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Results: The search resulted in the identification of 615 articles, of which 34 met all the inclusion criteria. General self-care was considered unsatisfactory. Physical exercise was classified as the self-care activity that was performed less frequently by individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus; adherence to medication was the most frequent behavior among volunteers. Conclusion: The studies indicated poor adherence of the population to good self-care practices, reflected by the increase in complications related to DM.

And Oxidative Stress

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between antioxidant and oxidative stress markers in the saliva of patients with type 2 DM and a healthy control group. Methods: In this study, 20 patients with diabetes and 20 healthy individuals were evaluated. Salivary antioxidants markers consisted of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), uric acid (UA), peroxidase and catalase. Oxidative stress markers included total oxidant status (TOS), malondealdehyde (MDA) and total thiol (SH). Sialochemical analysis was performed with spectrophotometric assay. All the statistical analyses were conducted using STATA software. Results: TAC decreased significantly in patients with diabetes. Although salivary UA and peroxidase were lower in patients with diabetes compared to the control group, the difference was not significant. Salivary catalase in patients with diabetes was significantly lower than that in the control group. MDA and TOS exhibited significantly higher levels in type 2 DM. SH levels were slightly higher in DM. Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, there were some changes in the salivary levels of some antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in patients with type 2 DM and could be measured as an indicator of serum changes..
