Insufficient Knowledge

SummarySocial networking services (SNS)-based online communities are good examples of improving quality of care by incorporating information technology into medicine. Therefore, we created an SNS-based community care webpage for communication among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to identify what diabetic patients wanted to know and were interested in by analyzing their posts and classified content in which users were interested.As opposed to the existing physician-focused health information websites, we built a patient-focused experience exchange website, “I love insulin (http://www.iloveinsulin.co.kr).” The DM communication webpage was divided into “My Web-Chart,” “My community-free board,” and “Life & Health.” The contents analysis targeted users’ postings, and replies were classified by theme from May 2012 to June 2013. The data included number of questions asked, answers, and question-to-answer (QA) ratio in each category.A total of 264 patients registered on the “I Love Insulin” website. The most frequent topic of posts classified as questions were about diabetes itself (23%), diet (22%), and glucose levels (19%). Conversely, most answers and information provided by users were about daily life with no relationship to diabetes mellitus (54%). While there were many questions about diet, there were very few answers (2%). Whereas there was much provision of knowledge about general DM, sharing diet information was rare. The ratios of answers to questions on diet (ratio=0.059, 1/17), glucose level (ratio=0.067, 1/15), insulin regulation (ratio=0.222, 2/9) and webpage (ratio=0.167, 1/6) were significantly low compared to DM itself (all p < 0.001).Patients in Korea with DM tend to have insufficient knowledge about diet and insulin regulation; continuously providing diet and insulin regulation information are desirable. It is hoped that the patients would be motivated to participate actively by “knowledge sharing.” Through this process, patients learn about their diseases not from the physicians but from among themselves.Citation: Kim H-S, Jeong YJ, Baik SJ, Yang SJ, Kim TM, Kim H, Lee H, Lee S-H, Cho JH, Choi I-Y, Yoon K-H.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the QOL of patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Study Design: This was a prospective, observational study. Duration of Study: The study was conducted from August 2019 to January 2021 in Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad. Methodology: Patients of either sex with ≥1year history of diabetes willing to give the consent were included in the study. Patients of either sex with <1year history of DM, Pregnant/lactating women and patients not willing to give the consent were excluded from the study. Data on Blood glucose levels (FBS, PPBS) and HbA1C was also obtained and assessed. QOLID questionnaire was administered to the patients and assessed which consisted of a set of 34 items representing 8 domains such as Role limitation due to the physical health, Physical endurance, General health, Treatment satisfaction, Symptom botherness, Financial worries, Mental health, and Diet satisfaction). Results: A total of 200 patients were analysed in the study,108(54%) were males and 92(46%) were females. The average age of the patients was 58.5 years with majority being 51-70years (73.5%) of age. Patients with higher age and females had poor QOL compared to others. The correlation between various categorical variables with that of scores of QOL in various domains was assessed, Age of the patients influenced QOL score in various domains like RLPH (p value-0.038), PE (p value-0.0183), and SB (p value-0.0002), Gender has influenced QOL score in domains like RLPH (p value-0.0008), PE (p value-0.0106), TS (p value-0.0005) and Educational Qualification has influenced QOL score in RLPH (p value-0.0008), GH (p value-<0.0001), TS (p value-<0.0001), E/MH (p value-<0.0001). Conclusion: The results concluded that overall QOL was noticeably low in Diabetic patients especially in Women and elderly thus indicating that Diabetes management is not restricted to treatment but also requires attention on QOL of patients.

Diabetes mellitus is a rapidly growing major health problem world-wide. The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus is complex, requiring continuous medical care by health care professionals and considerable self-care efforts by patients. A collaborative and integrated team approach in which pharmacists can play a pivotal role should be sought when managing patients with diabetes. Pharmacist-led care programs have been shown to help patients with diabetes succeed in achieving treatment goals and improving outcomes. Hence, the aim of this narrative review is to address and summarize the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions in the management of diabetic patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched from the date of database inception to June 2019. All randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of pharmacist-based interventions on diabetic patients in comparison with usual care were included in study. Outcomes of interest included short-term and long-term measures such as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and secondary outcomes were blood glucose level, blood pressure (BP), lipid profile, body mass index (BMI), 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, medication adherence, health related quality of life (HRQoL), and economic outcomes. Twenty-five studies were included in this systematic study. They were heterogeneous in terms of interventions, participants, settings and outcomes. Pharmacist-led self-management interventions included education on diabetes and its complications, medication adherence, lifestyle and education of self-management skills. Few studies even focussed on patients need through a tailored intervention. We found that those who received the pharmacist care had a statistically significant improvement in HbA1C, blood pressure, lipid profile, health-related quality of life, and CHD risk. These results underline the added value of pharmacists in patient-related care.  Hence this review supports the involvement of pharmacists as a member of health- care teams in managing diabetic patients at diverse settings worldwide.

The co-existence of complications and diabetes mellitus is related to a worsening in quality of life compared to not presenting comorbidities. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a different impact on quality of life according to gender and to establish the physiological parameters that these patients have in relation to diabetes-related complications. The sampling was continuous non-probabilistic, involving legal age patients with diabetes mellitus. All of the participants were administered the generic SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. The presence of peripheral artery disease was considered from an ankle brachial index <0.9 and grade II to grade IV of the Leriche–Fontaine classification. Nerve dysfunction was detected from a neurotensiometer test, and the presence of diabetic foot was detected from a dermal examination and co-existence with arteriopathy and/or neuropathy. Men presented significantly better quality of life values on the mental health, emotional role and health transition scales. Despite this, in the presence of complications such as vasculopathy, neuropathy or diabetic foot, the perception of well-being changes, showing that men and women face the disease in different ways. Despite the fact that the physical parameters of diabetic patients are similar according to the complications that they present, the adult women in our environment have lower levels of quality of life than men in most cases. This may be related not only to pathophysiological differences but also to sociocultural factors.

Diabetes Mellitus/DM is an increase in blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia which causes various complications in some important organs such as eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. A proper diet of diabetes mellitus patients is determined based on the amount of food intake, scheduled meal, and daily food composition. This study is a descriptive research, and aim to identify the diets of diabetic patients in Pusong, Lhokseumawe with 108 in population. The number of research samples were 52 respondents using purposive sampling techniques.  The sample criteria applied with several conditions, such as had been suffering from type 2 DM for more than 5 years and able to read and write in Indonesian. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire with a Cronbach alpha test value of 0.841. The results showed that 78.8% of respondents were not able to control the type of daily food consumption, 73.1% were not able to control the amount of daily food, 67.3% were not able to obey the scheduled meal and 72.2% of the respondents were adhere to a daily diet. According to this research result, it is important to identify the factors that contribute to the diet of patients with diabetes mellitus in the future.

Loss Of Motion

Adhesive capsulitis (АС) has an incidence of 20% in diabetic patients. The tightening of the shoulder capsule ("freezing") can cause gradually increasing limitation in active and passive range of motion (ROM) of shoulder. Consequences of the increasing limitations are reduced quality of life and patient disability. It is thought that AC is a self-limiting disorder that resolves in 1?2.5 years in most cases. However, new clinical data indicate both long-term persistent pain and residual loss of motion in 10% of patients without diabetes and in 85% of patients with diabetes. In this review, we summarize the results from different clinical trials in which risk factors and pathogenesis of AC in diabetic patients as well as the diagnosis and efficacy of various methods for the treatment of AC were examined.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that induces elevated plasma glucose levels. Diabetic patients are more susceptible to infections, especially fungal infections. There is a direct relationship between increased blood glucose levels and the number of Candida hyphae in the oral mucosa. This study aimed to evaluate oral candidiasis and the different Candida species found in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Methods: A search for studies on oral candidiasis and diabetes mellitus was carried out in the following databases: PubMed (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library), Web of Science (WoS) and Google Scholar. For dichotomous outcomes, the estimates of effects of an intervention were expressed as odds ratios (OR) using the Mantel-Haenszel (M-H) method with 95% confidence intervals. Results: 25 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Diabetes Mellitus patients tripled the probability of being infected by Candida species (OR:3.16, p<0.001). Likewise, Candida species infections were more likely in patients with poor glycemic control (OR:2.94, p<0.001) and with dentures (OR:2.22, p<0.001). In contrast, neither gender nor diabetes mellitus type of diabetes conditioned fungal infections (p>0.05). The most prevalent Candida species in both diabetics and controls were C. albicans and C. tropicalis. Diabetics had significantly fewer C. non-albicans species oral infections than non-diabetics (p=0.04). Conclusions: Diabetics are more prone to oral candidiasis, especially C. albicans infections.
