In addition, self-management is a consequential contributor to glycemic control. In light of the mortality, morbidity, decreased quality of life, and financial burden caused by T2DM, the author wanted to explore the diagnosis experiences of type two diabetics. Could their experiences be a contributing factor to less-than-optimal treatment outcomes? Methods: The author interviewed nine consenting adults with T2DM in person, over the telephone, and via videoconference over four weeks in March and April 2023.

DR is the principal cause of blindness in adults of working age and responsible for a worsening in quality of life despite preventable and treatable causes. To date, most of the epidemiological research on DR in Ethiopia has been limited to prevalence estimates from cross-sectional studies. This study determined the incidence of retinopathy and its predictors among type 2 diabetic patients Methods: Hospital-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 420 adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019. Data were extracted from medical records and entered into Epi info version7.2.2.6and exported to Stata 14 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model were used to identify predictors of diabetic retinopathy. In a multivariable analysis variable having a p-value < 0.05 in the Cox; PH model was considered as predictors of diabetic retinopathy. Results: Overall, 19.5% (95% CI; 16.2-23.8) of the study population developed diabetic retinopathy, with a median survival time of 30.4 months.

We conducted this retrospective study to examine the effect of hyperglycemia on outcomes in patients with diabetes with coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Method: A retrospective analysis of 25 adult patients with diabetes with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU between 1st January to 15 th February 2021 was done. Demographics details, past medical history, random blood sugar, medical management, ventilatory requirements, and survival data were obtained from medical record files and computerized patient recording systems. Outcomes such as mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, and length of hospital stay were analyzed. Result: The median age of the patients was 61 years with a male preponderance. Hypertension is the most common co-morbidity associated with diabetes patients. The median blood sugar level was consistently high in the non-survivors although the result was not statistically significant. Clinical management showed that 84% of patients received insulin, 16% (oral hypoglycemic agents) 72% (steroids) and (64%) mechanical ventilation. The median ICU stay was 8(2-72) days, the median hospital stay was 13(6-79) days and overall mortality in patients with diabetes with COVID-19 was 52%.

The availability of mortality statistics in type 1 diabetes and HIV/AIDS is critical for addressing the two conditions in one setting. Objective: To compare the mortality of children and youth living with Diabetes (CYLDM) versus children and youth living with HIV (CYLHIV). Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional approach extracted data from registries of Tanzania Diabetes Association (TDA) and National AIDS Control Programme (NACP). Mortality was defined as death recorded in the registry. STATA version 14 was used for analysis. Results: A total of 3822 data for CYLDM and 33,941 CYLHIV were extracted. Almost fifty-one per cent (50.8%) and 27.2% were males CYLDM and CYLHIV respectively, mean age (SD) at diagnosis was 14 (± 5.8) and 9.4 (± 7.3) years for CYLDM and CYLHIV, respectively. Total death was 95 (3.0%) in CYLDM and 3718 (11%) in CYLHIV. Mean age (SD) at death was 17 (± 4.5) years for CYLDM and 11 (± 8) years for CYLHIV. The loss to follow up rate was 33.7% for CYLDM and 43.7% for CYLHIV. Conclusion: The estimated death rate was high in CYLHIV compared to CYLDM. Both conditions had a high rate of loss to follow up. This study serves as the basis for prospective studies to determine causes and possible mitigation against mortality and loss to follow up in these two chronic conditions.","PeriodicalId":92797,"journal":{"name":"International journal of diabetes and clinical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48351228","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}

Excess consumption of sugar is one of the main causes of the issue. There are many sweetening ingredients that claim to be the solution to substitute normal sugar while maintaining the blood sugar level at a low level, yet the evidence is lacking and not always substantiated. Sweetch Natural Sugar Replacement is a proprietary natural sugar alternative product composed of a blend of different plant-derived sweetening ingredients. It has zero calories, no added flavor, non-GMO, and the same taste profile and measure as sugar (1:1 replacement). It is appropriate in drinks as well as any form of cooking. The objective of this study is to evaluate changes in blood sugar levels, as well as the safety of human volunteers after oral absorption of Sweetch Natural Sugar Replacement, substantiating Sweetch claim on zero glycemic response. The efficacy and safety analyses were performed using the principles of a fasting blood sugar level test on 22 randomized subjects practicing a healthy lifestyle. Participants were divided into 2 groups: An active group using the investigational product (IP; 50 g of the IP dissolved into mineral water.) versus a controlled group using a placebo (plain mineral water). After 12 hours of overnight fasting, volunteers took their drink orally and their blood samples were taken at specific time points (T0, T30 min, and T2 h) to measure blood glucose levels. Results indicate that there is no significant difference in the average blood glucose level at various time points between the active group and the placebo group. This study confirms that Sweetch Natural Sugar Replacement does not cause any noticeable changes in blood sugar levels post-oral administration. No adverse health events were observed throughout the study. Through this study, Sweetch Natural Sugar Replacement’s claim on zero glycemic index (GI) is proven legitimate.","PeriodicalId":92797,"journal":{"name":"International journal of diabetes and clinical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48493990","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}
