Background: Status of minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and chromium among diabetic patients are considered lower than non-diabetic peoples, both in the serum and intake. Some reviews show that those minerals contribute to carbohydrate metabolism among diabetic patients.Objective: This study aims to explore intake of zinc, magnesium, and chromium among DMT2 in Denpasar.Method: This is a cross-sectional analytic study. The population was all (70) DMT2 patients registered at Chronic Disease Service (Prolanis) at two Primary Health Care (PHC) Denpasar Utara III PHC and Denpasar Timur I PHC. The sample for the study was DMT2 patients and non-diabetic people age 50-70 years reside in Denpasar city. DMT2 patients were randomly selected with simple random technique, while non-diabetic peoples were non-randomly selected. The level of serum chromium was measured by AAS method, whereas microminerals intake were collected by a recall and SQ-FFQ method. Data was analyzed descriptively and differences were tested with two independent t-test at 95% confidence level.Results: The mean of serum chromium DMT2 and non-diabetic were 0.044 mg/L and 0.094 mg/L respectively. The mean±SEM magnesium (DMT2 316.1±22.4 mg/day; non-diabetic 211.0±33.5 mg/day), zinc intake was (DMT2 8.4±0.7 mg/day; non-diabetic 6.2±0.8 mg/day), and chromium (DMT2 10.8±1.3 µg/day; non-diabetic 8.7±0.9µg/day). A significant difference was found between magnesium intake (p=0.01).Conclusion: The study showed that zinc, magnesium and chromium intake is appeared higher among DMT2 patients compare to non-diabetic in Denpasar region.

The study aimed to assess the awareness of diabetic retinopathy among diabetic patients in a tertiary health care centre.  A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire on 115 diabetic patients. Male (76%) participated in the study were more than female (39%). Mean age of the study population being 50.44 years. There were no significant statistical associations between the demographic details and awareness of DR. In our study, 80.87% of people with diabetes were aware that DM could cause eye disease and 59.13% were aware that DR is an eye disease due to DM. There was a significant statistical association between them. The importance of regular eye visits was known by only 80% and followed by only 51.3%. Half of the subjects (52.17%) knew that DR could cause blindness. Only 57.39% knew about the treatment modalities of DR. Doctors should convey the importance of the disease and its risk factors to the patients. Thus, better prevention strategies of DR should be implemented among people with diabetes. Lack of awareness and lesser screening practices makes it difficult to prevent DR; thus, steps should be taken towards spreading awareness.

Background. Depression is a common comorbidity in type-II diabetic patients, which if undiagnosed leads to poor clinical outcomes. Objectives. To determine the prevalence and risk factors of depression among type-II diabetic patients attending the National Guard Diabetic Clinic in Arar city. Subjects and methods. This cross-sectional study included every third type-II diabetic patient attending the National Guard Primary Health Care Center between the 1st of January and 31st of March 2019. Participants were interviewed using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9). Patients who scored ≥5 were considered to have depression. Chi-square test (χ2) was used to compare differences between categorical variables. P≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. Of the total 422 diabetic patients approached for this study, 397 provided complete responses (94% response rate). Of these, 37% had depression: 23% mild, 9% moderate, and 5% severe. Diabetic patients with low education, poor income, and long duration of diabetes mellitus were found to be at higher risk of depression. Poor compliance with physical activities, diet regimen, family history of DM, and the presence of complications was also significantly associated with depression. On logistic regression analysis, low family income, duration of DM, poor compliance to physical activity, and presence of complications as neuropathy or libido were the main predictors of depression in diabetic patients. Conclusion. More than one-third of type-II diabetic patients had depression. Regular screening of type-II diabetic patients for depression is a necessity, as it can affect the clinical outcome.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of controlled diabetes in registereddiabetic patients with Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤ 7 or Fasting blood Sugar ≤ 130 mg/dl inthree primary Health Care Centers of Al- Ameer Ahmad Sector of Makkah. Methods: This studywas a descriptive study (cross sectional) started from 20 June 2012 to 30 September 2012. ThePrimary Health Care Centers randomly selected were AL-Zahir, Al-Hindavia and Kudai Al- Hijra.The sample size calculated was 320 patients with confidence level of 95% and confidenceinterval of 5. The cut of values adjusted for all diabetes mellitus patients was, haemogloblin A1c( HBA1c) ≤ 7 or fasting blood sugar (FBS) ≤ 130 mg/dl .Hypertension values were set as 140/90 mm of Hg. Results: Overall the age range was 25 – 87 (62) years and a mean of +/- SDof 58.66 +/- 11.97. Out of 320 diabetic patients selected (152 only diabetes + 168 patients ofdiabetes with hypertension) 21.25 % have disease under control. Most effected age range ofuncontrolled diabetes was 45-74 years. HbA1c test for study year was not done in 83.43 %cases. The age and Gender difference in two groups were not significant, however the resultsof controlled and non-controlled diabetic patients in three Primary Health Care Centers wassignificant (P <0.05 ).
