Background: Diabetes education, as an essential component of diabetes management, improves various aspects of diabetes mellitus including lowering Haemoglobin A1c. There is a number of surveys evaluating diabetes knowledge.Methods: The purpose of this study to measure diabetes knowledge of patients with diabetes mellitus after a structured group education programme named as diabetes school. This study is an observational study and the design is a cohort study. The study took place in 2017-2018. The duration of follow-up is 4 weeks. Fifty-four patients aged over 18 with a previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, who attended to the diabetes school education programme, were included to the study. Twenty-three patients participated in the true-false version of the revised Michigan diabetes knowledge questionnaire before and after the programme.Results: Twenty female and 3 male patients were aged 60.43±9.97 years. The scores improved significantly after the education programme (7.61±4.59 vs 12.39±3.35, p<0.0001). The number of patients correctly identifying more than half of the statements showed a steep increase after the programme (n=6, 26.0% vs n=17, 73.9%). Before education programme 13 had poor knowledge, 9 had moderate, and 1 had good knowledge. After completion 6 had poor knowledge, 11 had moderate, and 5 had good knowledge.Conclusions: Diabetes school is effective in improving diabetes knowledge in patients with diabetes mellitus. Revised Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire can be used to evaluated diabetes knowledge. It may aid to detect the subgroup of patients who are lack knowledge of various aspects of diabetes mellitus.

Background: Not smoking, performing >150 min of aerobic physical activity (PA) and muscle strengthening exercises/week, and consuming >5 portions of fruit and vegetables/day are lifestyle recommendations for both the general population and people with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A total of 15,771 and 15,461 persons from the Austrian Health Interview Surveys 2014 and 2019, respectively, including 4.9% and 6.0% of people with DM, were analysed in terms of their smoking, PA, and nutritional behaviours. Logistic regression models were performed for the lifestyle factors, adjusted for socio-demographic and health-related factors. Adjusted interactions between the survey year and DM on the lifestyle factors were computed. Results: The proportions of smokers were 23.9% and 20.2%, of people complying with the PA recommendations were 24.9% and 21.4%, and with fruit and vegetables recommendations were 7.1% and 5.5%, respectively, with significantly lower proportions of smokers and persons complying with the PA recommendations among people with DM. The fully adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for people with DM were 1.09 (0.94–1.26), 1.44 (1.23–1.69), and 0.90 (0.71–1.13) for smoking, not complying with PA recommendations, and not complying with fruit and vegetables recommendations, respectively. The proportion of people complying with PA recommendations decreased to a greater extent (p < 0.001) in people with DM (16.5% to 8.3%) compared to people without DM (25.3% to 22.3%). Conclusion: Diabetogenic lifestyle behaviours increased in the general Austrian population in recent years, which was especially true for people with DM regarding PA.

This study examined the clinical characteristics including stress-related factors of eating disorders in a sample of 312 diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure. The prevalence rate of bulimia nervosa was 5.1% (16 of 312 patients). The 16 patients with bulimia nervosa were 8 men and 8 women over 58 years old. Looking at the subjects by cause of end-stage renal failure, those with diabetes mellitus exhibited significantly higher prevalence rate of bulimia nervosa than two nondiabetic groups (diabetes 10%; nephritis 1.6%; others 1.9%). As for the association of bulimia nervosa and stress-related factors, end-stage renal failure patients with diabetes who exhibited bulimia nervosa showed significantly higher scores on a measure of alexithymia. These results suggest that, when liaison psychiatrists see diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure who exhibit bulimia nervosa, they should pay close attention to stress-related symptoms including alexithymia.

Adult patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) represent one-fifth of all 30-day unplanned hospital readmissions but some may be preventable through continuity of care with better DM self-management. We aim to synthesize evidence concerning the association between 30-day unplanned hospital readmission and patient-related factors, insurance status, treatment and comorbidities in adult patients with DM. We searched full-text English language articles in three electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL) without confining to a particular publication period or geographical area. Prospective and retrospective cohort and case–control studies which identified significant risk factors of 30-day unplanned hospital readmission were included, while interventional studies were excluded. The study participants were aged ≥18 years with either type 1 or 2 DM. The random effects model was used to quantify the overall effect of each factor. Twenty-three studies published between 1998 and 2018 met the selection criteria and 18 provided information for the meta-analysis. The data were collected within a period ranging from 1 to 15 years. Although patient-related factors such as age, gender and race were identified, comorbidities such as heart failure (OR=1.81, 95% CI 1.67 to 1.96) and renal disease (OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.34 to 2.12), as well as insulin therapy (OR=1.45, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.71) and insurance status (OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.22 to 1.63) were stronger predictors of 30-day unplanned hospital readmission. The findings may be used to target DM self-management education at vulnerable groups based on comorbidities, insurance type, and insulin therapy.

Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by measured blood sugar levels that are lower than normal values in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. The impact of hypoglycemia cause a decrease in peripheral tissue perfusion resulting in decreased consciousness. Hypoglycemia detection is useful to early detect of the symptoms of hypoglycemi, hence it could be treated quickly and accurately. The purpose of this study is to determine the related factors (age, knowledge, long-term of diabetes mellitus, and the availability of blood glucose measuring devices) with the ability to detect hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus tipe 2 at a provincial hospital of Banda Aceh. This study used a descriptive correlative design. The study population was all diabetes mellitus type 2 patients who experienced hypoglycemia who visited to the Endocrine Polyclinic at a provincial hospital in Banda Aceh in 2018 totaling 1,364. The sampling used in this study is a purposive sampling technique for 99 respondents. Data collection using a questionnaire in a Gutman scale totaling 25 statements. The questionnaire reliability tested used Cronbach alpha = 0.955. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test (α = 0.05). The results showed that no relationship between patient’s age with hypoglycemia detection ability (p=0.322), there was a relationship between knowledge with hypoglycemia detection ability (p=0.003), there was no relationship between long-term of diabetes mellitus with hipoglycemia detection ability (p=0.157), and there was a relationship between the availability of an independent glucose check (glucometer) with hypoglycemia detection ability (p=0.049). Based on the results, patient knowledge, availability of glukometer have a significantly affects on the ability to detect hypoglycemia. It is recommended to nurses in hospitals to increase knowledge of early detection of hypoglycemia in patients, education in using glucose check, and routine blood sugar checks in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Self-management is essential in preventing complications among patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The behaviourof patients to implement Diabetes Self-Management (DSM) is influenced by several factors which needsfurther study. This descriptive study aimed to identify factors contributing to DSM among patients with Type2 Diabetes Mellitus (DMT2). 94 respondents were recruited using randomized sampling obtained from aninpatient unit in one hospital in West Java province. Self-rating instruments were used to identify demographydata, knowledge about DSM, self-efficacy scale, and DSM questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was conductedto explain demography data, knowledge, self-efficacy and DSM. Findings indicated respondents demonstratedmoderate level of knowledge (M=7,53), and self-efficacy (M=34,8), and high level of DSM (M=89,28).Post-hoc analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between age (r=-0,209); p=0,043), education level(p=0,008), and self-efficacy (r=0,214; p= 0,038). No significant relationship was not identified with DSM(r=0,317; p=0,187). It is concluded that age, level of education, and self-efficacy were contributed to DSM.

Oculomotor Nerves

Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest causes of neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a heterogeneous group of neuropathic disorders to which patients with diabetes mellitus are susceptible; more than one kind of neuropathy can frequently occur in the same individual. Abnormalities are also known to occur in nearly every anatomic subdivision of the eye in diabetic patients. Oculomotor palsy appears to be common in diabetes mellitus for their occurrence in isolation to suggest diabetes. Nerves to the external ocular muscles are most commonly affected, particularly the oculomotor or third cranial nerve. The third nerve palsy of diabetes is characteristic, being of sudden onset, accompanied by orbital and retro-orbital pain, often associated with complete involvement of the external ocular muscles innervated by the nerve. While the human and experimental animal literature is replete with studies on the peripheral nerves in diabetes mellitus, there is but a paucity of reported studies dealing with the oculomotor nerves and their associated extraocular muscles (EOMs).
