In the absence of treatment and vaccine against coronavirus, preventive measures must be adopted, especially by people with diabetes. The objective was to identify the preventive measures against the new coronavirus carried out by people with diabetes. This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 214 people with diabetes through a questionnaire provided by a Google forms link in June 2020. We used descriptive statistics and the Spearman test to compare means. Most participants were female (85.9%), young adults (84.1%), with type 1 diabetes (76.7%), and without complications (74.2%). A high average of glycated hemoglobin (7.5 ± 1.4), changes in selfcare routine (72%) and in blood glucose levels (72.8%), wearing masks (98.1%), washing hands with soap and water (96.7%), using alcohol gel (94.4%), and social distancing (85%) were observed. It is essential to reinforce care for the metabolic control of people with diabetes, in addition to optimizing strategies against the COVID-19 epidemic with a view to preventing and promoting health.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus diet regulation aims to achieve and maintain controlled blood glucose levels. The strict monitoring of patient's intake is intended to prevent complications due to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Objectives: To determine the conformity of energy and macronutrients between ABC menu planned and 1700 kcal diet standard. Methods: This study was a cross sectional study with descriptive approach. Research variables were energy and macronutrients of diet manuals and menu planned for Diabetes Mellitus inpatients. The conformity was known by identifying energy and macronutrients in the ABC menu cycle and standard recipes using Nutrisurvey Software and guidelines for estimates oil absorption, then compared with the energy and macronutrients on the 1700 kcal diet standard. Results: Standard 1700 kcal diet consisted of 1700 kcal energy, 63.8 grams protein, 47.2 grams fat, and 255 grams carbohydrate. The average menu A provided 1743.5±147 kcal of energy, menu B 1710.4±137.8 kcal, and menu C 1744.6±143.5 kcal. The average menu A provided 68.2±4 grams of protein, menu B 69.3±4.2 grams, and menu C 70±4.6 grams. The average menu A contained 71.2±10.5 grams of fat, menu B 68.4±10.3 grams, and menu C 67.7±11.1 grams. The average menu A consisted 212.3±14 grams carbohydrate, menu B 210.5±14 grams, and menu C 214.6±13.8 grams. Conclusions: Compared to 1700 kcal standard diet, the discrepancies of energy are at 0.6-22%, protein 0.2-27%, fat 20-104%, and carbohydrates 7-25%.

Abstract Introduction The new coronavirus disease 2019 is an emerging respiratory disease caused by the highly contagious novel coronavirus which has currently overwhelmed the world. Realizing a comprehensive set of infection prevention measures is a key to minimize the spread of this virus and its impacts in all healthcare settings. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the compliance towards COVID-19 preventive measures and associated factors among health professionals in selected public hospitals, southeast Ethiopia. Methods A descriptive hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 660 health professionals in public hospitals of southeast Ethiopia from October 1 to 31, 2020. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected by interview using structured and pretested questionnaires. Ordinary logistic regression modeling was used to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio. To declare the statistical significance of factors associated with the outcome variable, P-value < 0.05 and 95% confidence interval were used. Results A total of 654 health professionals were involved in the study; of whom, 313 participants were nurses. The overall good compliance and knowledge of health professionals regarding COVID-19 preventive measures were 21.6 and 25.5%, respectively. Working in the general hospital (AOR = 0.55; 95% CI 0.38, 0.79), service year (AOR = 2.10; 95% CI 1.35, 3.21), knowledge (AOR = 1.80; 95% CI 1.14, 2.89), and water availability (AOR = 3.26; 95% CI 2.25, 4.72) were some of the factors found to have a statistically significant association to compliance of health professionals regarding COVID-19 preventive measures. Conclusion In this study, nearly one fifth of health professionals had good compliance towards COVID-19 prevention practices. Thus, a consistent supply of COVID-19 prevention materials, facilities, and improving the knowledge of health professionals through on and off-job training are crucial.

Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease group with the characteristic blood glucose levels than normal (hyperglycemia) that occurs because abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin recognized when payable disorders, or combination of both. Regular blood glucose levels cause patients uncontrolled type 2 diabetes are at greater risk for experiencing problems of oral health, including gingivitis. Purpose of this research was to know the description of gingival status in patients of type 2 diabetes at RSU GMIM Pancaran Kasih Manado. This research is an observational descriptive with cross sectional study approach. The research population is all patients of type 2 diabetes outpatient clinic Interna RSU GMIM Pancaran Kasih Manado in September 2014. The research method is by using a Consecutive sampling with a sample of 100 people. The result of this research showed that the gingival status in patients of type 2 diabetes calculated based gingival index that most occur severe gingivitis was 45 respondents (45%). The gingival status that showed the severe gingivitis in patients of type 2 diabetes based on age 17 respondents (48,6%) in the age range of 51-60 years old, based on gender that most occur in women 27 respondents (49,1%), based on duration of suffering 25 respondents (55,6%) in the age range >10 years, and based on blood glucose control (HbA1c) that most numerous in patients with poor blood glucose 30 respondents (60%). Conclusion: The gingival status in patients of type 2 diabetes most occur severe gingivitis, and recommended in patients of type 2 diabetes to improve their healthy lifestyle in order to normalize blood glucose levels so as to reduce the occurrence of diabetes, more attention and maintain oral hygiene, especially the gingival health.Keywords: gingival status, patients of type 2 diabetes.Abstrak: Diabetes Melitus (DM) adalah suatu kelompok penyakit metabolik dengan karakteristik kadar glukosa darah yang melebihi normal (hiperglikemia) yang terjadi karena kelainan sekresi insulin, gangguan kerja insulin, ataupun kombinasi dari keduanya.

Abstract BACKGROUND Apart from the controversy of high glycemic index and glycemic load associated with precancerous cervical lesions, few studies have examined the impact of fasting blood glucose levels on HPV multiple infections. In a population of HPV-positive women with high-grade cervical lesions, we conducted the current study to appraisal the relationship between blood glucose levels and multiple HPV infections. METHODS The present study was a cross-sectional correlative study. A total of 629 participants with a pathologically confirmed HSIL with HPV infection were included from a hospital in China between 2018-1-1 and 2019-12-31. The target independent variable and the dependent variable were glucose level at baseline and multiplicity of HPV respectively. The ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for the risk of multiple infections were estimated using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The average age of 560 participants was 44.63 ± 10.61 years old, Result of fully-adjusted binary logistic regression showed glucose was negatively associated with risk of event of multiple infection after adjusting confounders (Odds ratio (OR)=0.84, 95%CI(0.57-1.22). Non-linear relationship was detected between glucose and multiplicity of HPV, with point at 5.4. After adjusting for the full range of variables, the effect sizes and confidence intervals for the left and right sides of the inflection points were 0.379 (0.196, 0.732) and 5.083 (1.592, 16.229), respectively. CONCLUSION In this cross-sectional study, both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia predicted an increased risk of multiple infections, demonstrating a U-shaped association between blood glucose levels and HPV multiple infections.
