Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex chronic disease that requires ongoing medical care with a multifactorial risk reduction strategy beyond glycemic control. Self-management, education, and support are essential to prevent acute complications and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Stress levels may affect fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 2-hours postprandial blood glucose (2HPPBG). Objectives: This study aims to determine the effect of stress levels on the therapeutic outcomes of type 2 DM patients at the regional public hospital of West Nusa Tenggara province. Methods: This observational, cross-sectinal research was carried out on a sample of 37 patients using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Data analysis used a linear regression test. Results: The results showed that stress had a significant effect on FBG (p=0.038) and 2HPPBG (p=0.001) levels.

This study aims to investigate the influence of patient characteristics on the choice of insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatients in Denpasar municipality. This is a descriptive analysis study using the patient's medical records as research material. Patients who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria are being recorded based on their medical records. Characteristics that are taken are age, gender, fasting blood glucose level (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level (2-hours PPG) and HbA1c values of patients. Types of insulin therapy gained from patient medical records and drug use report in pharmacy. Characteristics data and type of insulin analyzed using correlation test to determine the effect of the patient characteristics on the selection of insulin therapy. 43 patients became the research subject. Males gendered patients (72.09%) and the patients aged less than 65 years (90.70%) are the dominant characteristics of the research subjects. The average value of FBG of patients is 212 mg / dL; 2-hours PPG 280 mg / dL and HbA1c 10.1%. There is a correlation between sex, age, HbA1c value and FBG with the type of insulin obtained by patients (p <0.05). Based on the results of statistical tests, age and gender have a strong correlation on insulin choice, HbA1c and FBG level has a moderate influence and 2-hours PPG have a weak correlation. Patient characteristics had an influence on the type of insulin choice for diabetes mellitus type 2 outpatient in the Denpasar municipality.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, treated by insulin and oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHA). Despite treatment, to protect diabetic population from its complications is difficult. So, there is a need for an OHA with different mechanism of action and minimal side effects. Bromocriptine Mesylate QR (Quick release) formulation was approved by FDA for treatment of type 2 DM. Hence, this study was planned to highlight the usefulness of Bromocriptine QR in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Total 140 patients with type 2 DM were randomized into two groups. The control group was treated with Metformin 500 mg BD (twice daily) and Glipizide 5 mg BD for a period of 3 months. The study group received Bromocriptine quick release 1.6 mg once daily, metformin 500 mg BD and Glipizide 5 mg BD for a period of 3 months. In both control and study groups, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose was monitored at 0, 1st, 2nd and 3rd month. HbA1C was done at baseline and at the end of 3 months.Results: There was statistically significant decrease in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose and HbA1C when compared to baseline in both control group (p <0.05) and study group (p <0.05) at the end of 3 months. But the decrease in FBS, PPBS, HbA1C was higher in the study group (p=0.0001) than the control group (p=0.001).Conclusions: In type 2 DM patients, Bromocriptine QR, combined with metformin and Glipizide reduced fasting and postprandial blood glucose and HbA1C significantly compared to metformin and glipizide alone.

Objective: Pharmacological therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus features various combinations of treatments, with different therapies providing different levels of effectiveness. In clinical settings, choices are driven by cost, effectiveness, and safety considerations, and these choices are still under question in Indonesia. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of metformin-sulfonylurea and metformin-acarbose combination therapies on glycemic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was carried out at Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital in Jakarta and utilized a retrospective cohort study design. Participants had consumed the same drug without switching for six months and were divided into a metformin-sulfonylurea group (n = 100) and a metformin-acarbose group (n = 100). The effectiveness of treatment was evaluated by considering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), two hours postprandial glucose, and fasting blood glucose. Results: After six months’ consumption, there were no statistical differences between results for the metformin-sulfonylurea and metformin-acarbose groups in terms of change of HbA1c (p = 0.062), controlled two hours postprandial blood glucose (p = 0.649), and controlled fasting blood glucose (p = 0.282). Regular exercise was the most significant factor for constant/decreased HbA1c, whereas being male and following a diet were the most significant factors for controlled two hours postprandial blood glucose and fasting blood glucose, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the analysis performed, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of six months’ consumption of metformin-sulfonylurea and metformin-acarbose on HbA1c, two hours postprandial blood glucose, and fasting blood glucose.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) comprises a group of common metabolic disorders that share phenotype of hyperglycemia. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the correlation between glucose monitoring by fasting blood glucose or two hours postprandial blood glucose with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetic patients. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted over a period of six month in the Department of Biochemistry. Institute of Medical, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Sixty inpatients with Diabetes mellitus type 2 were assessed for daily fasting and postprandial blood sugar for 15 consecutive days. HbA1c was measured on the 15th day. Result: Both postprandial blood glucose and fasting blood glucose significantly correlated with HbA1c. Postprandial blood glucose showed better correlation to HbA1c than fasting blood glucose (r = 0.630, P <0.001 vs. r =0.452, P = 0.05). Conclusion: These results show that postprandial blood glucose correlated better than fasting blood glucose to HbA1c. Thus, postprandial blood glucose predicted overall glycemic control better than fasting blood glucose. This finding has potential implications for treatment and monitoring of metabolic control in type-2 diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by pancreas the inability to produce insulin or ineffectively insulin use.Fracture risk in type 2 DM patients increases even though the bone density is normal. This study aimed to examine thecorrelation of osteopontin (OPN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in type 2 DM patients. An observational analytical studywas conducted in 73 type 2 DM patients in Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from October to November 2018. The subjectswere examined for blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, two hours postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, OPN, and ALPlevels. P-value <0.05 was statistically significant with a 95% confidence interval. Poorly controlled type 2 DM had higher OPNlevels than well-controlled (20.5±2.8 vs. 14.8±3.1 ng/mL, p <0.001). The ALP concentration was also higher in poorlycontrolled type 2 DM patients (79.9±31.7 vs. 61.1±25 U/L, p=0.003). The levels of OPN and ALP were significantly correlatedin type 2 diabetes (r=0.273; p=0.020) and in well-controlled patients (r=0.353; p=0.047) but no correlation was found inpoorly controlled type 2 DM patients (r= -0.073; p= 0.652). In this study, a significant correlation was found between OPNand ALP in patients with type 2 DM and well-controlled. Further study involving healthy controls and bone ALPmeasurement is needed.
