Studies have found that diabetes and thyroid disorders tend to coexist in patients. Both conditions involve a dysfunction of the endocrine system. Thyroid disorders can have a major impact on glucose control, and untreated thyroid disorders affect the management of diabetes in patients. Consequently, a systematic approach to thyroid testing in patients with diabetes is recommended.

Thyroid disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus were studied in 196 patients, divided into 4 main groups (hyperthyroidism in patients with diabetes, hypothyroidism in patients with diabetes, euthyroidism in patients with diabetes and diabetes patients without any thyroid pathology). It was found that diabetes and thyroid disorders have been shown mutually influence on each other and proved associations between both conditions. Compensation of thyroid function due to adequate therapy leads to controlled hyperglycemia, positive arterial hypertension disease mode and better diabetes mellitus outcome. Diabetes and thyroid disorders have been shown to mutually influence each other and associations between both conditions have long been reported. Compensation of thyroid function due to adequate therapy leads to controlled hyperglycemia, less frequency of DM and better DM outcome2.Hyperthyroidism as hypothyroidism impairs glycemic control in diabetic subjects, but hypothyroidism patients alter carbohydrate metabolism with inability to gain stable com-pensation of DM compering with euthyroidism and DM without thyroid dysfunction.3.Despite increased levels of BP, both systolic and diastolic, in patients with hypothyroidism group, prevalence of AH 3rdstage and AH complications were significantly higher in hyperthyroidism which requires more strict control of blood pressure levels and AH treatment in this group of patients.

The Difference

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of the endocrine system characterized by increased levels of glucose in the blood. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Buerger's Allen exercise on the value of the ankle brachial index (ABI) in patients with diabetes mellitus. The research design was a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest without a control. The study was conducted from March to May 2021 at Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital with 48 respondents, with consecutive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The Buergers Allen exercise intervention was performed twice a day, for three weeks. The procedure is performed by lifting the lower extremities up at an angle of 45-90 degrees for 2-3 minutes, then the patient sits at the bedside with the legs hanging down, accompanied by flexion, extension, pronation and supination movements for 5-10 minutes, and the patient lies down. with both feet resting for 10 minutes. There was a significant effect between the mean ABI value before intervention 0.83 and after intervention 0.95, p=0.00. The difference in mean ABI p=0.000, p<0.05. The results of the study concluded that there was an effect of buerger allen exercise on the ABI value before and after the intervention where the ABI value was getting better. It is recommended for nurses to make Buergers Allen exercise one of the independent nursing interventions in providing nursing care to patients with diabetes mellitus.

Patients With Diabetes

Patients with diabetes mellitus routinely require management in the adult intensive care unit (ICU). These patients have increased morbidity, mortality, hospital length of stay, cost of care, and frequency of hospital and ICU admission. Glucose control in these patients presents challenges for the clinician. In the critically ill, hyperglycemia does not occur exclusively in patients with diabetes or prediabetes but may be related to stress-induced hyperglycemia or iatrogenic causes. Hyperglycemia can contribute to decreased wound healing and immune function and a host of cellular and molecular dysfunctions and has been linked to increased hospital mortality. Hypoglycemia in the ICU is associated with patients with preexisting diabetes, those receiving insulin and other medications, and septic individuals, among others. Insulin therapy is the mainstay of glucose management in the critically ill. ICU practitioners should be aware that point-of-care glucose meters are not as accurate as core laboratory results. Finally, both hypoglycemia and wide fluctuations in blood glucose during critical illness are also associated with increased mortality, although clear cause-and-effect relationships have not been established.

Background: Diabetes mellitus can be observed in any age group and gender. If it is not treated on time, it can lead to development of other disorders. The present study aims to evaluate the association of age, gender, duration of diabetes and HbA1C with thyroid profile in patients with diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 diabetic patients based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study protocol was explained to each patient and informed consent was obtained. All the patients demographic and clinical data was recorded and analysed. SPSS (16.0) version used for analysis. Results: Patients between 41-50 years of age showed more of hypothyroid profile. Males are less prone to thyroid disorders compared to females. Patients with DM less than 10 years showed hypothyroid profile. Maximum hypothyroid patients showed HbA1C level less than 7%. Conclusion: The study results conclude that as age progresses, females are more prone to thyroid disorders compared to males. Keywords: Age, Diabetes Mellitus, Thyroid, Gender, HbA1C, Euthyroid

The paper presents the point of view of an endocrinologist to causes of death in patients with most prevalent endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus and obesity. The author critically analyzes the trends of the last years in the principles of registration of causes of death in diabetes mellitus, emphasizing the need to differentiate between “associated diseases” and “etiologically related diseases”.

Tract Infections

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a widespread disease in our country. Urogenital infections, including urinary tract infections, vaginitis, balanitis, balanoposthitis, and male accessory gland infections, show a higher risk of occurrence in patients with DM that non-diabetic subjects. Both non-drug-related and drug-related mechanisms are involved in their pathogenesis. These conditions may impact on glucose control and islets function in DM and more likely develop into adverse complications. A throughout microbial characterization, including the drug-sensitivity test, is required for a proper management. To reduce the risk of recurrence, combined treatment, including antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and fibrinolytic molecules, should be prescribed also to the sexual partner. The choice of the antidiabetic drug to prescribe should take into consideration the presence of urogenital infections. In conclusion, urogenital infections may more likely lead to complication in diabetic than non-diabetic patients, affect fertility and glucose control. Therefore, they need proper management.
