Construção e validação de ferramenta educativa sobre insulinoterapia para adultos com diabetes mellitus / Construction and validation of an educational tool on insulin therapy for adults with diabetes mellitus

Resumo A insulinoterapia empregada no tratamento do Diabetes Mellitus (DM) carece de ferramentas educativas que auxiliem a prática de autocuidado. Dessa forma, objetivou-se elaborar e validar uma ferramenta educativa destinada a promover a compreensão da relação entre variação glicêmica e insulinoterapia em adultos com DM1 e DM2. Trata-se de um estudo metodológico desenvolvido em três etapas: i) elaboração da ferramenta educativa; ii) validação de conteúdo e aparência por comitê de juízes; iii) pré-teste com o público-alvo. Participaram da segunda etapa dez juízes e da terceira etapa 12 adultos com DM 1 ou 2, em uso de insulina. Para avaliar a adequação do material educativo pelo comitê de juízes foi utilizado o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC). Para validação pelo público-alvo foram calculados os percentuais de concordância por itens. Como resultado, desenvolveu-se a ferramenta educativa Meu Diário de Tratamento (MDT), que obteve IVC médio de 99,6% e percentual de concordância de 99%. Conclui-se, portanto, que o conteúdo e a aparência da ferramenta MDT foram validados e adequados culturalmente para a população de adultos com DM tipo 1 e 2.

Abstract The insulin therapy used to treat Diabetes Mellitus (DM) lacks educational tools to assist self-care. Thus, we aimed to develop and validate an educational tool for the relationship between glycemic variation and insulin therapy for adults with type 1 and 2 DM. The study was developed in three stages: i) elaboration of the educational tool; ii) validation of content and display by a panel of judges; iii) pre-test with a target audience. Ten judges participated in the second stage, and 12 insulin-dependent adults with type 1 or 2 DM participated in the third stage. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to evaluate the adequacy of the material by the judges. The percentages of the agreement by item were calculated for validation by the target audience. The My Treatment Diary (MTD) educational tool was then developed. It obtained a mean CVI of 99.6% and a percentage of agreement of 99%. The results demonstrated that the content and display of the MTD tool were validated and culturally appropriate for the population of adults with type 1 and 2 DM.

O aluno com diabetes: avaliação dos pais sobre o ambiente escolar / The student with diabetes: parental assessment of the school environment

Introdução: O diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) é uma das doenças crônicas mais comuns da infância. O adequado controle do DM1 engloba uma ação multidisciplinar e envolve ambientes nos quais as crianças passam grande parte do tempo do seu dia, as escolas. Objetivos: Identificar a realidade vivenciada pelo aluno com diabetes no ambiente escolar sob a visão dos pais ou responsáveis. Métodos: Aplicado um questionário a 200 pais ou responsáveis por alunos com diabetes matriculados na educação infantil, nos ensinos fundamental e médio de escolas públicas e privadas de Belo Horizonte, compreendidos entre a faixa etária dos quatro aos dezoito anos. Resultados: A escolha da escola pelos pais foi influenciada pelo fato da criança ter diabetes em 16,5% dos casos. Houve negação inicial de matrícula. Foram necessárias explicações sobre o DM1 para os professores em 67,5% dos casos. Para 74,5% dos pais, os professores das escolas envolvidas não possuem o conhecimento necessário sobre diabetes. A maioria das crianças tem a permissão para realizar a glicemia capilar em sala de aula. Cerca de 54,5% dos alunos com diabetes fazem o uso de insulina na escola, entretanto, grande parte delas não oferecem um local específico para tal procedimento. A merenda escolar foi considerada inadequada. Houve relato de bullying. Alguns foram impedidos de participarem de excursões e até mesmo da educação física. Conclusão: Os alunos com DM1 vivenciam uma realidade inadequada no ambiente escolar. A maioria das escolas não está preparada do ponto de vista técnico e estrutural para receber estas crianças.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood. Proper control of DM1 encompasses a multidisciplinary action and involves environments in which children spend much of their day, such as schools. Objectives: To identify the reality experienced by students with diabetes in the school environment from the perspective of parents or guardians. Methods: A questionnaire was applied for 200 parents or guardians of students with diabetes enrolled in early childhood education, in the elementary and high schools of public and private schools in Belo Horizonte, in the age group of four to eighteen years. Results: The parents' choice of school was influenced by the fact that the child had diabetes in 16.5% of cases. There was an initial denial of registration on school. Explanations about DM1 were needed for teachers in 67.5% of cases. For 74.5% of parents, school teachers do not have the necessary knowledge about diabetes. Most children are allowed to take capillary blood glucose in the classroom. About 54.5% of students with diabetes use insulin at school, however, in most of them there are not a specific place for such procedure. The school meal was considered inadequate. There was a bullying relationship. Some students were prevented from getting involved in extracurricular activities such as excursions and in physical education. Conclusion: Students with DM1 experience an inadequate reality in the school environment. Most schools are not technically and structurally prepared to receive these children.

A new Brazilian regional scenario of Type 2 diabetes risk in the next ten years.

AIMS: According to a recent national diabetes screening performed by our group in 2018, 18.4% of the Brazilians were found to have high blood glucose. The objective of the present study was to estimate the risk of developing type 2 DM (T2DM) in the next ten years in Brazilian population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in community pharmacies across Brazil, in 2018, where pharmacists applied the FINDRISC questionnaire to estimate the population's risk of developing T2DM within a ten-year period. RESULTS: The study included 977 pharmacists from 345 municipalities distributed across the five geographical regions of Brazil. Of the 17,580 people evaluated, the South region was found to have the highest frequency (59.6%) among people at very low and/or low risk of developing T2DM, while the North region, the most underserved, presented the highest and/or very highest T2DM risk (24.1%). The factors that mostly and importantly impacted these regional differences were body mass index; the highest daily consumption of vegetables and fruits; history of high blood glucose and family history of T1DM/T2DM. CONCLUSION: These results showed an impressive change of direction concerning diabetes numbers between the most underserved region in public health care and one of the most developed and best organized regions concerning health assistance, the North and the South, respectively.

Fatores associados ao diabetes mellitus tipo 2 entre trabalhadores de uma empresa pública de Belo Horizonte / Factors associated to type 2 diabetes among employees of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Introdução: Características ocupacionais têm sido apontadas como fatores de risco adicionais para o desenvolvimento do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2). Trabalhadores cujas rotinas de trabalho dificultam a adoção de hábitos saudáveis relacionados à alimentação e atividade física podem estar mais vulneráveis a desenvolver esse agravo. Objetivo: Estimar os fatores sociodemográficos, clínicos, ocupacionais e de hábitos de vida associados ao DM2 entre trabalhadores de uma empresa pública de Belo Horizonte. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 443 trabalhadores de uma empresa hospitalar pública de Belo Horizonte (MG). Foram aplicados questionários envolvendo características sociodemográficas, ocupacionais, juntamente com o Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) e coletados dados bioquímicos. Para análise dos fatores associados ao diabetes, utilizou-se a regressão logística multivariada, considerando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Entre os trabalhadores, 6,3% tinham diagnóstico de diabetes tipo 2 e 13% encontravam- se na faixa de risco alto/muito alto de desenvolver a doença nos próximos 10 anos. Observou-se que as pessoas com idade acima de 54 anos, circunferência da cintura alterada, que usavam medicamentos para hipertensão arterial e que tinham história de diabetes na família apresentaram maior chance de desenvolver a doença em comparação a pessoas com menos de 45 anos, cintura normal, que não usavam medicamento para hipertensão e sem história familiar. Conclusão: A idade avançada, a obesidade abdominal, a hipertensão arterial e a história familiar foram fatores associados ao diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 2.

Background: Occupational aspects have been described as additional risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Workers whose job interferes with healthy eating and physical activity might be more susceptible to disease. Objective: To investigate sociodemographic, clinical, occupational and lifestyle factors associated with DM2 among employees of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methodology: Cross-sectional study with 443 employees of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte. We administered a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire and the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) and collected biochemical data. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate factors associated with diabetes. The significance level was set to 5%. Results: 6.3% of the participants had a diagnosis of DM2 and 13% were found to be at high or very high risk to develop disease within 10 years. Participants aged above 54, with abnormal waist circumference, who took antihypertensive drugs or had family history of diabetes exhibited higher odds of developing disease. Conclusion: Older age, abdominal obesity, hypertension and family history of diabetes were associated with diagnosis of DM2.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus: can coaching improve health outcomes?

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the introduction of coaching in the interdisciplinary care of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus in the public health care system. Subjects and methods: Ten patients routinely attending a public health care service and with a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level above 75% participated in eight coaching sessions. This study evaluated the patients' self-management of the disease and personal behavior. The participants were assessed at the beginning of the program and on two occasions after the intervention, with evaluation of biochemical and anthropometric data, and frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Questionnaires were applied during these evaluations to analyze emotional burden (B-PAID), medication adherence (Morisky Adherence Scale), and self-efficacy (IMDSES). Results HbA1c had a median level of 8.0% (range 76-10.3%) at the beginning of the study and reduced significantly 3 months after initiation of the intervention (7.78% [6.5-10%], p = 0.028), with no significant increase at 6 months (8.3% [713-9.27%], p = 0.386). SMBG improved significantly from the beginning to the end of the study, with the median number of glucose tests per week varying from 16.5 (range 0-42) at baseline to 29.0 (7-42) at 3 months and 27.5 (10-48) at 6 months (p = 0.047). No significant differences were observed in anthropometric parameters or in the scores of the instruments between the three measurements. Conclusion: A coaching intervention focused on patients' values and sense of purpose may provide added benefit to traditional diabetes education programs and could be an auxiliary method to help individuals with type 1 diabetes achieve their treatment goals.

Association of different biomarkers of renal function with D-dimer levels in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (renal biomarkers and D-dimer in diabetes).

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the association between different renal biomarkers with D-Dimer levels in diabetes mellitus (DM1) patients group classified as: low D-Dimer levels (< 318 ng/mL), which included first and second D-Dimer tertiles, and high D-Dimer levels (≥ 318 ng/mL), which included third D-Dimer tertile. Materials and methods D-Dimer and cystatin C were measured by ELISA. Creatinine and urea were determined by enzymatic method. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using CKD-EPI equation. Albuminuria was assessed by immunoturbidimetry. Presence of renal disease was evaluated using each renal biomarker: creatinine, urea, cystatin C, eGFR and albuminuria. Bivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess which renal biomarkers are associated with high D-Dimer levels and odds ratio was calculated. After, multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess which renal biomarkers are associated with high D-Dimer levels (after adjusting for sex and age) and odds ratio was calculated. Results Cystatin C presented a better association [OR of 9.8 (3.8-25.5)] with high D-Dimer levels than albuminuria, creatinine, eGFR and urea [OR of 5.3 (2.2-12.9), 8.4 (2.5-25.4), 9.1 (2.6-31.4) and 3.5 (1.4-8.4), respectively] after adjusting for sex and age. All biomarkers showed a good association with D-Dimer levels, and consequently, with hypercoagulability status, and cystatin C showed the best association among them. Conclusion Therefore, cystatin C might be useful to detect patients with incipient diabetic kidney disease that present an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, contributing to an early adoption of reno and cardioprotective therapies.

Educação nutricional no tratamento do diabetes na atenção primária à saúde: vencendo barreiras / Nutrition education in diabetes treatment in primary health care: overcoming barriers

O diabetes é um problema de saúde pública, que exige acompanhamento nutricional constante, para alcance de metas do tratamento e a maioria das pessoas é atendida nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, onde o relato de dificuldades com o plano alimentar e não adesão ao tratamento são frequentes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar um programa de educação nutricional diferenciado para Estratégias de Saúde da Família e identificar fatores que dificultam o seguimento do plano alimentar. Trata-se de um estudo longitudinal, com 77 pessoas com diabetes, que foram clinicamente avaliadas, receberam educação e orientação nutricional em um programa individual de 60 minutos, sendo reavaliadas em 3 meses, com melhora significativa da qualidade alimentar (diminuição do consumo mensal de óleo e açúcar e melhora do perfil de ingestão alimentar), e identificação dos principais fatores, que limitavam o tratamento, como comer em menor quantidade, alimentar-se em horários regulares, as restrições alimentares e a ansiedade. Não houve associação entre dificuldade em seguir a dieta com as variáveis renda, escolaridade e estado civil. Educação nutricional focada em diferentes realidades, com baixo custo e fácil realização é possível de ser realizada na Atenção Primária com bons resultados, abrindo a perspectiva para diferenciação do programa de educação em grupos, com otimização do tempo dos profissionais nesta realidade.

Diabetes is a public health problem that requires constant nutritional monitoring to reach treatment goals. Most patients are treated at Primary Health Units, where the account of difficulties with the diet plan and nonadherence to treatment are common. The objective of this study was to evaluate a differentiated nutritional education program for the Family Health Strategies and identify factors that prevent compliance with the diet plan. This is a longitudinal study with 77 people with diabetes who were clinically evaluated, received nutritional education and orientation in a 60-minute individual program, and were reassessed at 3 months. Results included significant improvement in diet quality (decrease in monthly consumption of oil and sugar and improved food intake profile), and identification of the main factors limiting treatment, how to eat in smaller quantities, eating at regular times, dietary restrictions, and anxiety. There was no association between difficulty in following the diet and the variables income, education, and marital status. Nutrition education focused on different realities, with low cost and easy application, can be carried out in primary care with good results, opening up the prospect for differentiation of the education program in groups, with optimized use of professionals' time in this reality.

Results Cystatin C presented a better association [OR of 9.8 (3.8-25.5)] with high D-Dimer levels than albuminuria, creatinine, eGFR and urea [OR of 5.3 (2.2-12.9), 8.4 (2.5-25.4), 9.1 (2.6-31.4) and 3.5 (1.4-8.4), respectively] after adjusting for sex and age. All biomarkers showed a good association with D-Dimer levels, and consequently, with hypercoagulability status, and cystatin C showed the best association among them. Conclusion Therefore, cystatin C might be useful to detect patients with incipient diabetic kidney disease that present an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, contributing to an early adoption of reno and cardioprotective therapies.

Perfil e evolução clínica dos pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1: Estudo longitudinal em um centro de referência secundária de Minas Gerais / Profile and clinical evolution of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A longitudinal study at a secondary reference center in Minas Gerais / Perfil y evolución clínica de pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1: estudio longitudinal en un centro de referencia secundaria del estado de Minas Gerais

Objetivou-se avaliar o perfil e a evolução clínica dos pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) de um centro de referência secundária de Minas Gerais. Trata-se de estudo longitudinal com 174 pessoas com DM1 atendidos em um centro de referência secundária de Minas Gerais no período de 2010 a 2015. Avaliaram-se variáveis sociodemográficas, tempo de diabetes, tratamento, comorbidades, hemoglobina glicada (A1c) e LDL colesterol. Utilizou-se o teste T pareado e de McNemar para as comparações anuais da A1c e do LDL-c, com nível de significância inferior a 5%. Os resultados mostraram que 5,7% dos pacientes estavam em uso de sistema contínuo de infusão de insulinas, 61,5% de NPH e 32,8% de glargina; 47,1% dos pacientes usavam estatina; 63,21% chegaram ao serviço com valores de A1c acima de 8%, sendo 27,0% acima de 10%. Ao final do primeiro ano de acompanhamento, esse percentual reduziu-se para 49,9%, com maior redução dos que tinham A1c acima de 9%. Observouse diminuição significativa nas médias de A1c (9,01±2.46 em 2010 e 8,2±1.74 em 2011; p<0,001), mantendo-se sem alterações nos demais anos. Apurou-se também significativa redução do LDL-c ao longo de todo o período de acompanhamento (p<0,005). Concluiu-se que o atendimento multidisciplinar dos pacientes com DM1 contribuiu para a melhora dos parâmetros metabólicos logo no primeiro ano de acompanhamento.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile and clinical evolution of patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(T1DM) at a Secondary Reference Center in Minas Gerais. This is a longitudinal study with 174 individuals with T1DM treated at a Secondary Reference Center in Minas Gerais between 2010 and 2015. The studied variables were: Socio-demographic characteristics, time with diabetes, treatment, comorbidities, glycated hemoglobin (A1c) and LDL cholesterol. Paired t-test and McNemar test were used for the annual comparisons of A1c and LDL-c, considering a significance level of 5%. The results showed that 5.7% of the patients were is use of continuous insulin infusion system, 61.5% of NPH and 32.8% of glargine; 47.1% of the patients used statin; 63.21% came to the service with A1c values above 8% and 27.0% above 10%. At the end of the first year of follow-up, this percentage decreased to 49.9%, with a greater reduction of those with A1c above 9%. There was a significant decrease in A1c averages (9.01 ± 2.46 in 2010 and 8.2 ± 1.74 in 2011, p <0.001), which remained unchanged on the following years. There was also a significant reduction of LDL-c over the entire follow-up period (p <0.005). We concluded that the multidisciplinary care of patients with T1DM contributed to the improvement of metabolic parameters on the first year of follow-up.

Evaluation of creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations for estimation of glomerular filtration rate in type 1 diabetic patients.

Objective Several formulas based in different biomarkers may be used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GRF). However, all of them have some limitations, and it is very important to evaluate their performances in different groups of patients. Therefore, we compared GFR, as estimated by creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations, according to albuminuria, in type 1 diabetes (T1DM), in an observational case-control study. Subjects and methods T1DM patients were classified according to albuminuria: normoalbuminuric (n = 63), microalbuminuric (n = 30), macroalbuminuric (n = 32). GFR was calculated using creatinine-based and cystatin C-based (aMDRD, CKD-EPIcr, CKD-EPIcys, MacIsaac, Tan and CKD-EPIcrcys) equations. Spearman Correlation was used to evaluate the correlation of GFR estimated by the formulas with albuminuria. ROC curves were constructed to compare AUCs of GFR estimated by equations, in reference to macroalbuminuria. Sensibility, specificity and accuracy were calculated for a cut-off < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results GFR estimated by creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations significantly differed among normoalbuminuric, microalbuminuric and macroalbuminuric patients. Spearman correlation and AUCs of GFR estimated by creatinine-based and cystatin C-based formulas were very similar to each other, though cystatin C-based equations presented better correlation with albuminuria and higher AUCs than the creatinine-based ones, and the best accuracy to detect macroalbuminuric patients. Conclusion Although GFR estimated by all creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations permitted the differentiation between T1DM patients, according to albuminuria, cystatin C-based equations presented best accuracy to detect macroalbuminuria in T1DM patients and should be considered in the clinical routine in order to increase the possibility of early diagnostic of chronic renal disease.

Training adolescents with type 1 diabetes to carbohydrate counting without parents' help / Capacitação de adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1 para a contagem de carboidratos sem a ajuda dos pais

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program to enable adolescents with type 1 diabetes to count carbohydrates without the parents' help. Methods: Nineteen adolescents with type 1 diabetes from a diabetes center participated in four fortnightly meetings of one hour, with lectures and discussions about healthy nutrition, importance of nutrients for blood glucose, portion sizes, food replacements, and carbohydrate counting therapy. All meetings ended with exercises to check the learning. Adolescents were followed for one year after the intervention. Results: All participants were 100% successful in all the steps of the program and started carbohydrate counting in the main meals. Nutritional status and total daily insulin doses before and after the study did not differ. After 12 months, 68% of the adolescents counted carbohydrates at all times, 16% did so in extra snacks, and 16% were suspended from the new therapy. Eighty percent of the parents were satisfied with the program, believing teenagers were trained in the new therapy. Conclusion: A short nutrition education program successfully trained adolescents to count carbohydrates without the parents' help.

RESUMO Objetivo: Desenvolver e avaliar a eficácia de um programa de educação nutricional para capacitar adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1 na contagem de carboidratos sem ajuda dos pais. Métodos: Dezenove adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1 de um centro de diabetes participaram de quatro encontros quinzenais de uma hora, com palestras e discussões sobre alimentação saudável, importância dos nutrientes na glicemia, tamanho das porções, substituições de alimentos e contagem de carboidratos. Todos os encontros foram finalizados com exercícios para verificar o aprendizado. Os adolescentes foram acompanhados por um ano após a intervenção. Resultados: Todos os pacientes tiveram 100% de sucesso em todas as etapas do programa e começaram a contagem de carboidratos nas refeições principais. Não houve diferença no estado nutricional e doses totais diárias de insulina antes e depois do estudo. Após 12 meses, 68% dos adolescentes contavam carboidratos em todas as refeições, 16% nos lanches extras, e 16% tinham interrompido a nova terapia. Oitenta por cento dos pais estavam satisfeitos com o programa e acreditavam que os adolescentes estavam capacitados para nova terapia. Conclusão: Após um programa de educação nutricional, de curta duração, foi possível capacitar adolescentes na contagem de carboidratos sem a presença constante dos pais.
