Background: Uganda is located in East Africa and is among the countries with the lowest income globally. The ten health centres in this project serve populations in the under-privileged communities of Kampala. The objective of the study was to implement diabetes mellitus (DM) screening among tuberculosis (TB) patients in a routine program setting with limited resources and high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional observational study was conducted in ten health centres in Kampala, Uganda. As part of a project to implement DM screening in a routine setting, TB patients were screened for DM by trained health workers. A fasting blood glucose (FBG) value ≥7.0mmol/l was considered to indicate DM. For this study, aggregate data was collected and analysed using SPSS for Windows, version 13.0. Results: Among 4,590 TB patients registered, 4,016 (88.0%) were screened with random blood glucose (RBG). Of those with RBG ≥6.1mmol/l, 1,093 (83.3%) were screened with FBG. In total, 92 (2.3%) patients were diagnosed with DM and 66 (71.8%) of them were newly diagnosed. The proportion of TB patients screened with FBG in the health centres varied from 58.2% to 100%. The proportion of patients screened with FBG and the prevalence of DM were significantly higher in private health centres compared with public health centres. The health centres in peri-urban areas screened more patients with RBG than those in urban areas. Health centres without DM services screened a larger number of patients with RBG and FBG than those with DM services. Conclusions: It appears feasible to implement screening TB patients for DM in routine program settings with limited resources and high HIV prevalence. Its introduction requires close collaboration between TB and DM services. The challenges identified need government attention and certain institutional and service-related factors need to be better managed at times.

Health Information Technology (HIT) provides many opportunities for transforming and improving health care systems. HIT enhances the quality of health care delivery, reduces medical errors, increases patient safety, facilitates care coordination, monitors the updated data over time, improves clinical outcomes, and strengthens the interaction between patients and health care providers. Living in modern large cities has a significant negative impact on people’s health, for instance, the increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes. According to the rising morbidity in the last decade, the number of patients with diabetes worldwide will exceed 642 million in 2040, meaning that one in every ten adults will be affected. All the previous research on diabetes mellitus indicates that early diagnoses can reduce death rates and overcome many problems. In this regard, machine learning (ML) techniques show promising results in using medical data to predict diabetes at an early stage to save people’s lives. In this paper, we propose an intelligent health care system based on ML methods as a real-time monitoring system to detect diabetes mellitus and examine other health issues such as food and drug allergies of patients. The proposed system uses five machine learning methods: K-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The system selects the best classification method with high accuracy to optimize the diagnosis of patients with diabetes. The experimental results show that in the proposed system, the SVM classifier has the highest accuracy of 83%.
