Physiologically, women`s sexual functioning consists of desire, arousal, plateau, orgasm and resolution. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a highly prevalent, age-related and progressive problem. It has multiple causes and dimensions including biological, psychological and interpersonal elements. Several disorders, encompassing issues with sexual desire and arousal, orgasm malfunctioning and sexual pain, can be differentiated within the FSD entity. Diabetes is considered to be a major cause of the impaired sexual function. Although women with diabetes have even frequency of cardiovascular and neurological complications as males, FSD has been paid rather less attention in research than the sexual dysfunction in men with diabetes, particularly exclusive in females with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Usually, FSD is more related to the psychosocial issues, especially depression, than to cardiovascular, metabolic and other traditional risk factors, which are more characteristic for men. The sexual difficulties among T1DM women require much more attention. Their regular annual in-depth evaluation should routinely include queries regarding the presence of depressive symptoms and their sexual functioning. *Correspondence to: Djordje S POPOVIC, Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders, Clinical Center of Vojvodina Medical Faculty, University of Novi Sad, Hajduk Veljkova 1, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, Tel: +38163551606, +381214843758, Fax: +38121525081, E-mail: pitstop021@gmail. com; djordje.popovic@mf.uns.ac.rs; djordje.popovic@kcv.rs","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121203613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most significant risk factors are: age >25 years, obesity, high parity, family history of DM, past history of GDM or macrosomic infant. GDM therapy should be based on a healthy diet, exercising and glycemic control, with or without insulin. The presence of GDM has important implications for both the baby and the mother. As regard baby complications, GDM is associated with a significantly increased risk of macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, birth injuries as well as neonatal hypo glycemia and hyperbilirubinemia, genetic risk for the development of obesity, diabetes and/or metabolic syndrome in childhood. As regard mother complications, GDM is a strong risk factor for the development of permanent diabetes later in life (40% in 10 subsequent years) and GDM in successive pregnancies (35%), stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence, doubled risk for overactive bladder during premenopausal period, cardiovascular morbidity. This review briefly examine the risk factors, diagnostic criteria, best therapy and management, short and long term complications for the mother and the fetus associated with such pathology. *Correspondence to: Andrea Ciavattini, Department of Clinical Sciences, Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Università Politecnica delle Marche, Via Corridoni, 60124 Ancona, Italy, Tel: +39 071 596 2053; E-mail: a.ciavattini@univpm.it","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116328885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first examination, she had poor glycemic control and body weight reduction with decreased fat mass had been caused by uncontrolled diabetes. She had severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy with microalbuminuria. When she had weight gain after her glycemic control was improved, she still had fat loss in the lower limbs with abdominal fat excess. She had insulin deficiency and relatively severe insulin resistance. According to the clinical findings and genetic analysis, she might fit the category of familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD)1. We administered liraglutide for her diabetes care, as previous report suggested the effectiveness of liraglutide in patients with FPLD1 for about three months. We assessed changes in fat distribution and insulin resistance during liraglutide therapy using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Liraglutide effectively has achieved favorable glycemic and body weight control for a long period. The DEXA showed that fat mass in the upper limbs and trunk was increased, but we could speculate no further increase as her body weight was stable. The OGTT showed the amelioration of insulin resistance and insulin secretory capacity adjusted for insulin sensitivity. We thought that this might be caused by the blood-glucose-reducing effects of liraglutide and preventive effects on obesity through increasing the fat storage capacity of adipocytes. The intensified multifactorial intervention with liraglutide, anti-hypertensive drugs, and statin attenuated diabetic microangiopathies. The present case suggests that liraglutide might be as an efficient therapeutic option through its pleiotropic effects in diabetic patients with FPLD1.","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132112600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: 26 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity were recruited into an open-label study of the GOLO Weight Management System with Release supplement at a single clinical site. 16 subjects completed the study over a 13-week treatment period. Results: After 13 weeks of open-label treatment, subjects lost an average of -3.3 kg (SD 2.47; p<0.001) which represented an average of -3.53% (SD 0.02) weight loss and was statistically significant. Statistically significant reductions in several body measurement parameters were demonstrated including BMI -1.17 kg/m2 (0.75, p<0.001), waist circumference -6.41 cm (4.22; p<0.001), hip circumference -3.81 cm (3.68, p<0.001), and body fat mass -2.34 kg (2.29, p<0.001). Reductions in Hemoglobin A1C averaged -0.61% (0.86; p=0.01) and reductions in HOMA-IR, a measure of insulin resistance, averaged -2.25 (3.33; p=0.02) both statistically significant. Positive trends were observed in reductions of fasting blood glucose [-24.19 mg/dl (52.31), p=0.08] and insulin levels [-2.91 uIU/dl (5.75); p=0.06] that were not statically significant. Conclusions: Treatment with the GOLO Weight Management Program and Release supplement for 13 weeks resulted in weight loss and improvements in glycemic control and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. *Correspondence to: Robert J Buynak, MD, 55 University Suite 106, Valparaiso, IN 46385, USA, Tel: 219-464-8302, E-mail: rbuynak@att.net","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131605299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statins can also lead to similar neuropathic symptoms independent of diabetic status. When statins are prescribed in patients of diabetes, it is not possible to distinguish whether neuropathic pain is secondary to diabetes or to statin therapy. This review analyzes the molecular mechanisms involved in etio pathogenesis of neuropathy caused either by diabetes or by statin therapy. ATP deficiency and ion channel abnormalities may be responsible for the symptoms of neuropathy in diabetes, and a similar mechanism is at play in statin induced neuropathy. This is seen to occur independent of blood sugar levels. Areas covered: Literature published between 1980 and 2019 on the etio pathogenesis of neuropathy, insulin receptor defects, cholesterol biosynthesis, action of statins and of Coenzyme Q, KATP and calcium channels was reviewed. A comprehensive search on PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases was carried out. Expert opinion: Statins activate KATP channels and directly affect neurons. Activation of KATP channels inhibits calcium channels which should theoretically be beneficial in neuropathic symptoms. However, statins lead to a simultaneous deficiency in levels of ubiquinone because of their inhibitory action on cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, This leads to neuropathy. Insulin receptor defects in diabetes may be leading to a similar pathogenesis in the causation of diabetic neuropathy. *Correspondence to: Devindra Sehra MD, DTCD, Sehra Medical Center ,Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi -110026 , India, E-mail: sehradev@yahoo.com Received: August 01, 2019; Accepted: August 26, 2019; Published: August 28, 2019 Introduction Statins are prescribed widely for both primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. They act by their lipid lowering action, as well as by their pleiotropic effects. The number of patients who are on statin therapy is gradually and steadily increasing [1,2] Statins have been found to be generally safe; but they may be responsible for the side effects which so far have been attributed to the disease process per se for which they are being prescribed; and long term trials specifically exploring this aspect would unravel their real safety [3,4] That statins lead to increasing incidence of new onset diabetes has recently been reported in literature [5]. Since a large number of patients who have been prescribed statins are already suffering from diabetes, it is practically not possible to evaluate whether the worsening of diabetes in these patients is because of diabetes per se or because of statin therapy. Statin therapy per se may be causing polyneuropathy, which itself is a common complication of diabetes. It is difficult to interpret whether the reported polyneuropathy is because of statin therapy in a diabetic patient, or because of disease process of diabetes per se. This becomes significant because statins are prescribed very commonly in ","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122119848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It affects the patient's quality of life by imposing psychological and emotional consequences including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence. Hence, this study aimed to scrutinize the prevalence of impotence and its associated factors among diabetic patients. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was employed on 330 systematically selected male diabetic patients in tertiary hospitals, Northern Ethiopia from March 2019 to January 2020. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews, entered to Epi data version 4.4.2.1, and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used for analysis. Variables with p< 0.25 in the bi-variable analysis were fitted to multivariate analysis. Then, the adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI was used to report the association whereas statistical significances declared at P≤0.05. Finally, the findings were presented using texts and frequency tables. Results: This study was conducted on 330 male diabetic patients with an overall response rate of 97.1%. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction among men with diabetes mellitus was found to be 87%. Having average monthly income above poverty line [AOR=5.6; 95%CI: 2.08-15.08], long duration on diabetic follow-up [AHR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.40-2.00], not engaging in daily physical exercise [AOR=4.73; 95%CI: 1.83-12.23], and using oral medications for diabetes mellitus [AHR= 6.27; 95% CI: 2.01-19.58] were significantly associated with erectile dysfunction among male diabetic patients. Conclusion: Erectile dysfunction is highly prevalent among diabetic patients. Moreover, prolonged diabetic follow-up, family monthly-income above the poverty line, using oral hypoglycemic agents, and lack of daily physical exercise were independent risk factors of impotence. Thus, it is advisable to conduct universal screening for this population group with open discussion during diabetic visits to enable timely detection and management.","PeriodicalId":309709,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Updates","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121676914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
