ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: This study assessed the effects of Acacia Senegal (AS) combined with insulin on Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity and mRNA expression, serum glucose, renal function, and oxidative stress in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Sixty rats were equally divided into six groups: normal control, normal+AS, diabetic (DM), DM+insulin, DM+AS, and DM+insulin+AS groups. Diabetes mellitus (type 1) was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg), and insulin and AS treatments were carried until rats were culled at the end of week 12. Serum glucose and creatinine levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured. Renal homogenate levels of NKA activity and gene expression, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and reduced glutathione (GSH) were evaluated as well as kidney tissue histology and ultrastructure. Diabetes caused glomerular damage and modulation of blood and tissue levels of creatinine, glucose, HbA1c, malondialdehyde, NKA activity and gene expression, SOD, catalase and GSH, which were significantly (p<0.05) treated with AS, insulin, and insulin plus AS. However, AS+insulin treatments were more effective. In conclusion, combined administration of AS with insulin to rats with DN decreased NKA activity and gene expression as well as oxidative stress, and improved glycemic state and renal structure and function.
Este estudio evaluó los efectos de Acacia senegal (AS) combinada con insulina sobre la actividad Na+/K+- ATPasa (NKA) y la expresión de ARNm, la glucosa sérica, la función renal y el estrés oxidativo en un modelo de nefropatía diabética (ND) en ratas. Sesenta ratas se dividieron equitativamente en seis grupos: control normal, normal+AS, diabética (DM), DM+insulina, DM+AS y DM+insulina+AS. La diabetes mellitus (tipo 1) se indujo mediante una única inyección de estreptozotocina (65 mg/kg), y los tratamientos con insulina y AS se llevaron a cabo hasta que las ratas fueron sacrificadas al final de la semana 12. Se midieron niveles séricos de glucosa y creatinina, hemoglobina A1c (HbA1c). Se evaluaron los niveles de homogeneizado renal de actividad NKA y expresión génica, malondialdehído, superóxido dismutasa (SOD), catalasa y glutatión reducido (GSH), así como la histología y ultraestructura del tejido renal. La diabetes causó daño glomerular y modulación de los niveles sanguíneos y tisulares de creatinina, glucosa, HbA1c, malondialdehído, actividad y expresión génica de NKA, SOD, catalasa y GSH, los cuales fueron tratados significativamente (p<0,05) con AS, insulina e insulina más AS. Sin embargo, los tratamientos con AS+insulina fueron más efectivos. En conclusión, la administración combinada de AS con insulina a ratas con DN disminuyó la actividad de NKA y la expresión genética, así como el estrés oxidativo, y mejoró el estado glucémico y la estructura y función renal.

There is no safe and effective prevention for insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM) mellitus, which makes it highly dependent on its treatment. This systematic review with meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials investigated the overall effects of dietary supplements of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and non-essential compounds with antioxidant properties, fatty acids, and amino acids in IDDM. Searches of MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, LILACS, The Grey Literature Report, and ClinicaTrials.gov, and citations from previous reviews were used to identify reports published through July 2023. The Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool was used to analyze the risk of bias and GRADE was used to assess the quality of the results. Fifty-eight studies (n=3,044) were included in qualitative analyses and seventeen (n=723) in meta-analyses. Qualitative analyses showed few positive effects on some metabolic function markers, such as endothelial and renal function and lipid profile. Meta-analyses showed a positive effect of omega-3 on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (RMD=-0.33; 95%CI: -0.53, -0.12, P=0.002; I2=0%; GRADE: low quality; 4 studies) and of vitamin D on fasting C-peptide (FCP) (RMD=0.05; 95%CI: 0.01, 0.9, P=0.023; I2=0%; GRADE: very low quality; 4 studies). Most studies showed bias concern or high risk of bias. A recommendation for dietary supplementation in IDDM cannot be made because of the few positive results within different interventions and markers, the serious risk of bias in the included studies, and the low quality of evidence from meta-analyses. The positive result of vitamin D on FCP is preliminary, requiring further investigation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of blood glucose control on the imaging severity and clinical symptoms of facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 286 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Spinal Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from December 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups according to whether T2DM was diagnosed at admission. Age, gender, presence of hypertension, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. The duration of diabetes was recorded. Fasting blood glucose and peak postprandial blood glucose were monitored for 3 consecutive days. Plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were assessed by blood biochemical results. Diabetic patients were divided into three sub-groups according to fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c): ideal blood glucose control (HbA1c<6.5% and fasting blood glucose<6.1 mmol/L), good (6.5%≤HbA1c≤7.5% or 6.1 mmol/L≤fasting blood glucose≤7.0 mmol/L), and poor (HbA1c>7.5% and fasting blood glucose>7.0 mmol/L). Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the degree of low back pain. Pathria grading system was used to assess the severity of FJOA at different levels of the lumbar spine on lumbar CT. Mann-whitney U test was used to compare the difference of FJOA between L 1-S 1 segments in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of diabetes on FJOA. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the difference of FJOA between different segments in diabetic patients among different sub-groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of blood glucose control on FJOA. Results:A total of 121 patients in the diabetic group and 165 patients in the non-diabetic group were included. L 4, 5 FJOA grade 3(2, 3) in diabetic patients was greater than grade 2(1, 3) in non-diabetic patients with significant difference ( Z=-3.179, P=0.001), and diabetes was an independent risk factor for L 4, 5 FJOA [ OR=1.767, 95% CI(1.032, 3.025), P=0.038]. There was no significant difference in age, BMI, sex ratio, prevalence of hypertension and blood glucose fluctuation values among different subgroups of glycemic control in the diabetic group. Patients in the poor glucose group had higher FJOA grades 2(1, 2), 3(3, 3) and 3(2, 4) at L 1, 2, L 4, 5 and L 5S 1 than those in the ideal glucose group at grades 1(1, 2), 2(1.5, 3) and 2(1, 2) with significant differences ( H=9.530, P=0.009; H=18.248, P<0.001; H=27.916, P<0.001). Patients in the poor glucose group had higher grades 3(3, 3) and 3(2, 4) of osteoarthritis of the L 4, 5 and L 5S 1 facet joints than those in the good glucose group, grades 3(2, 3) and 2(1, 2) with significant differences ( H=18.248, P<0.001; H=27.916, P<0.001). Low back pain was positively correlated with poor glycemic control, L 4, 5 and L 5S 1 FJOA ( r=0.512, P<0.001; r=0.383, P<0.001; r=0.484, P<0.001). Poor glycemic control was an independent risk factor for FJOA at L 4, 5 and L 5S 1 [ OR=4.963, 95% CI (1.095, 22.496), P=0.038; OR=6.010, 95% CI(1.061, 34.049), P=0.043]. Conclusion:Compared with non-diabetic patients, patients with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of osteoarthritis in the facet joints of L 4, 5. Compared with diabetic patients with good or ideal glycemic control. Patients with poor glycemic control had more severe osteoarthritis of the L 4, 5 and L 5S 1 facet joints. Patients with severe facet joint degeneration and poor glycemic control often suffered more from severe low back pain.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combination of curcumin and piperine supplementation on Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), Homeostatic Model of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), Body Mass Index (BMI) in patients with prediabetes and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This review was done to identify potential herbal remedies that may help improve glycemic parameters, leading to better health outcomes in combination with current antidiabetic treatment.@*Methodology@#This systematic review was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). It was conducted in 2023 with sources and databases from MEDLINE, EBSCO-Host, ScienceDirect and ProQuest. This paper included randomized-controlled trials exploring the effects of the combination of curcumin and piperine on patients with prediabetes and T2DM. Systematic reviews, observational studies, case reports, case series, conference abstracts, book sections, commentaries/editorials, non-human studies and articles with unavailable full-text and written in non-English language, were excluded. The key terms for the literature search were “curcumin,” “piperine,” “prediabetes” and “Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.” We use Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB) 2 for quality assessment of the included studies and Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4 to do the meta-analysis.@*Results@#A total of three studies were included in this systematic review. Two studies from Neta et al., and Cicero et al., showed no significant difference in HOMA-IR, BMI and FPG levels between the curcumin, piperine and placebo groups. One study from Panahi et al. demonstrated a significant difference in BMI levels between the curcumin and piperine and placebo groups (p <0.01). The meta-analysis showed that FPG levels, HOMA-IR and BMI improved among patients with diabetes given in curcumin and piperine with reported mean differences (MD) of = -7.61, 95% CI [-15.26, 0.03], p = 0.05, MD = -0.36, 95% CI [-0.77 to 0.05], p = 0.09, and MD = -0.41, 95% CI [-0.85 to 0.03], p = 0.07, respectively).@*Conclusions@#The supplementation of curcumin and piperine showed a numerical reduction in FPG, HOMA-IR and BMI, but were not statistically significant. Further research is needed as there is a paucity of studies included in the review.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of acute and chronic glycemic ratio on the prognostic assessment in vulnerable phase of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods:The clinical data of 98 AHF patients who treatment in Nanjing Pukou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2019 to May 2022 were collected retrospectively, the patients were followed up for 3 months, according to whether adverse events occurred in the vulnerable phase, the patients were divided into adverse prognosis group (31 cases) and non-adverse prognosis group(67 cases). The acute and chronic glycemic ratio was calculated based on the intravenous blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c). The influencing factors of adverse prognosis of AHF patients in vulnerable phase was analyzed by Cox risk proportion model, the predictive value of acute and chronic glycemic ratio on adverse prognosis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve and compared the risk of adverse prognosis in patients with different acute and chronic glycemic ratio. Results:The severity of cardiac function grading as well as total cholesterol, urea nitrogen, blood glucose, acute and chronic glycemic ratio, highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CPR), left ventricular anteroposterior diameter, right atrial anteroposterior diameter in the adverse prognosis group were higher than those in the non-adverse prognosis group: (3.88 ± 0.18)mmol/L vs. (3.76 ± 0.24) mmol/L, (9.39 ± 1.07) mmol/L vs. (8.68 ± 1.79) mmol/L, (10.49 ± 2.20) mmol/L vs. (7.64 ± 1.57)mmol/L, 1.37 ± 0.47 vs. 1.04 ± 0.35, (3.85 ± 0.36) mg/L vs. (3.68 ± 0.28) mg/L, (48.47 ± 7.86) mm vs. (45.37 ± 3.56) mm, (47.18 ± 5.04) mm vs. (44.05 ± 6.11) mm, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that hypertension, white blood cell count, blood sodium, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, acute and chronic glycemic ratio were the risk factors for adverse prognosis in vulnerable phase ( P<0.05). The area under the curve of acute and chronic glycemic ratio for predicting adverse prognosis in vulnerable phase was 0.718 (95 CI: 0.618 - 0.805, P<0.01), with specificity of 62.7%, sensitivity of 77.4%, and cut-off value of 1.07. According to the cut-off value of acute and chronic glycemic ratio, the patients were divided into acute and chronic glycemic ratio>1.07 group (43 cases), acute and chronic glycemic ratio≤ 1.07 group (55 cases), there was a statistically significant difference in the event free survival between the two groups ( P<0.01). Conclusions:AHF patients who with high acute and chronic glycemic ratio have a high risk of adverse prognosis in the vulnerable phase, which can be used as a predictor of the prognosis patients.

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To perform a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, evaluating the effect of probiotics, prebiotics or symbiotics supplementation on glycemic and inflammatory control in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Data source: The Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), Clinical Trials, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases were searched. Randomized clinical trials of pediatric patients with DM1 using probiotics, prebiotics or symbiotics were included, regardless of year or language of publication. Studies that did not evaluate glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were excluded. Metabolic results (HbA1c, total insulin dose and C-peptide) and inflammatory control [interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)] during probiotic supplementation or similar, related to modification of the intestinal microbiota, were analyzed. PROSPERO ID: CRD42022384485. Data synthesis: Five studies were selected for a systematic review. Regarding metabolic markers, only one of the articles that analyzed HbA1c showed a significant decrease (p=0.03) in the intervention group. One study identified a reduction in the total dose of insulin and increased C-peptide levels. Regarding the evaluation of inflammatory parameters (IL-10, TNF-α, INF-γ), there were no statistical relevant modifications. Conclusions: Current data from the literature were not conclusive in identifying an improvement in glycemic control and did not observe changes in inflammatory parameters with the use of probiotics, prebiotics or symbiotics in pediatric patients with T1DM.
RESUMO Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática de ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados avaliando o efeito da suplementação de probióticos, prebióticos ou simbióticos no controle glicêmico e inflamatório em crianças com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1). Fontes de dados: As bases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), Clinical Trials, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) foram pesquisadas. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados de pacientes pediátricos com DM1 em uso de probióticos, prebióticos ou simbióticos, independentemente de ano ou idioma de publicação. Foram excluídos os trabalhos que não avaliaram hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c). Os resultados metabólicos (HbA1c, dose de insulina total e peptídeo C) e o controle inflamatório [interleucina-10 — IL-10), fator de necrose tumoral-alfa (TNF-α) e interferon-gama (IFN-γ)] durante a suplementação de probióticos ou similares, relacionados à modificação da microbiota intestinal, foram analisados. ID PROSPERO: CRD42022384485. Síntese dos dados: Cinco estudos foram selecionados para revisão sistemática. Com relação aos marcadores metabólicos, apenas um dos artigos que analisaram a HbA1c apresentou diminuição significativa (p=0,03) no grupo intervenção. Um estudo identificou redução da dose total de insulina e aumento dos níveis de peptídeo C. Quanto à avaliação dos parâmetros inflamatórios (IL-10, TNF-α, INF-γ), não houve modificações de relevância estatística. Conclusões: Os dados atuais da literatura não foram conclusivos em identificar melhora no controle glicêmico e não observaram mudanças nos parâmetros inflamatórios com o uso de probióticos, prebióticos ou simbióticos em pacientes pediátricos com DM1.

ABSTRACT Objective: The optimal target for blood glucose concentration in critically ill patients is unclear. We will perform a systematic review and meta-analysis with aggregated and individual patient data from randomized controlled trials, comparing intensive glucose control with liberal glucose control in critically ill adults. Data sources: MEDLINE®, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and clinical trials registries (World Health Organization, clinical trials.gov). The authors of eligible trials will be invited to provide individual patient data. Published trial-level data from eligible trials that are not at high risk of bias will be included in an aggregated data meta-analysis if individual patient data are not available. Methods: Inclusion criteria: randomized controlled trials that recruited adult patients, targeting a blood glucose of ≤ 120mg/dL (≤ 6.6mmol/L) compared to a higher blood glucose concentration target using intravenous insulin in both groups. Excluded studies: those with an upper limit blood glucose target in the intervention group of > 120mg/dL (> 6.6mmol/L), or where intensive glucose control was only performed in the intraoperative period, and those where loss to follow-up exceeded 10% by hospital discharge. Primary endpoint: In-hospital mortality during index hospital admission. Secondary endpoints: mortality and survival at other timepoints, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, vasoactive agents, and renal replacement therapy. A random effect Bayesian meta-analysis and hierarchical Bayesian models for individual patient data will be used. Discussion: This systematic review with aggregate and individual patient data will address the clinical question, 'what is the best blood glucose target for critically ill patients overall?'

RESUMO Objetivo: Não está claro qual é a meta ideal de concentração de glicose no sangue em pacientes em estado grave. Realizaremos uma revisão sistemática e uma metanálise com dados agregados e de pacientes individuais de estudos controlados e randomizados, comparando o controle intensivo da glicose com o controle liberal da glicose em adultos em estado grave. Fontes de dados: MEDLINE®, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials e registros de ensaios clínicos (Organização Mundial da Saúde, clinical trials.gov). Os autores dos estudos qualificados serão convidados a fornecer dados individuais de pacientes. Os dados publicados em nível de ensaio qualificado que não apresentem alto risco de viés serão incluídos em uma metanálise de dados agregados se os dados individuais de pacientes não estiverem disponíveis. Métodos: Critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados que recrutaram pacientes adultos, com meta de glicemia ≤ 120mg/dL (≤ 6,6mmol/L) comparada a uma meta de concentração de glicemia mais alta com insulina intravenosa em ambos os grupos. Estudos excluídos: aqueles com meta de glicemia no limite superior no grupo de intervenção > 120mg/dL (> 6,6mmol/L), ou em que o controle intensivo de glicose foi realizado apenas no período intraoperatório, e aqueles em que a perda de seguimento excedeu 10% até a alta hospitalar. Desfecho primário: Mortalidade intra-hospitalar durante a admissão hospitalar. Desfechos secundários: Mortalidade e sobrevida em outros momentos, duração da ventilação mecânica invasiva, agentes vasoativos e terapia de substituição renal. Utilizaremos metanálise bayesiana de efeito randômico e modelos bayesianos hierárquicos para dados individuais de pacientes. Discussão: Essa revisão sistemática com dados agregados e de pacientes individuais abordará a questão clínica: Qual é a melhor meta de glicose no sangue de pacientes graves em geral?

ABSTRACT
Introdução:A doença periodontal corresponde àcondição que acomete os tecidos de proteção e/ou suporte do dente através de uma inflamação crônica causadapor patógenos.Estacondição pode ser modificada ou associada às doenças sistêmicas, como por exemplo, o diabetes mellitus tipo II (DM2).Objetivo:Avaliar quais os efeitos da terapia periodontal não cirúrgica sobre o controle glicêmico de pacientes diagnosticados com DM2.Metodologia:Revisão integrativa elaborada a partir de pesquisas clínicas randomizadas indexadas nas bases de dados Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science e BVS, na qual foram utilizados os descritores "periodontal diseases treatment", "glycemic control" e "metabolic control".Resultados:Dos trabalhos avaliados, seis foram selecionados para compor a revisão, tendo em vista os critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos. Logo, é notório que a terapia periodontal básica indica melhora no controle glicêmico dos pacientes com DM2, de acordo comanálise da HbA1c e PCR,portanto, com base nos resultados dessa pesquisa, o tratamento periodontal não cirúrgico parece contribuir para o controle metabólico. Apesar disso, alguns estudos se opõem aoresultadodo controle glicêmicodesses pacientes, reforçando a existência de variáveis que interferem nos resultados da pesquisa, como os níveis de hemoglobina, estágio da doença periodontal, amostra, dietae atividade física dos pacientes.Conclusões:O resultado deverá ser avaliado com maior cautela, tendo em vista as possibilidades de variáveis presentes nesse tipo de pesquisa. Por fim, ensaios controlados devem ser realizados para alcançar um maior esclarecimento a respeito dos efeitos da terapia periodontal não cirúrgica no controle glicêmico de pacientes com DM2 (AU).
Introduction:Periodontal disease is a condition in which protective or supportive tissues of the tooth are affected by chronic inflammation caused by pathogens. This condition may be modified or associated with systemic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Objective:To evaluate the effects of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on glycemic control in patients diagnosed with T2DM. Methodology:An integrative review was performed using randomized clinical trials indexed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and BVS databases. The descriptors "periodontal disease treatment," "glycemic control," and "metabolic control" were used. Results:From the reviewed studies, six were selected for the review considering the established inclusion and exclusion criteria.Basic periodontal therapy improves glycemic control in patients with T2DM, as evidenced by analysis of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Therefore, based on the results of this research, nonsurgical periodontal treatment contributes to metabolic control. However, some studies contradict the effect of glycemic control in these patients, reinforcing the presence of variables that interfere with research results, such as hemoglobin levels, stage of periodontal disease, sample, dietand physical activity of patients. Conclusions:The results should be evaluated with more caution considering the potential variables present in this type of research. Finally, controlled trials should be conducted to understand better the effects of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on glycemic control in patients with T2DM (AU).

Resultados: De los estudios revisados, se seleccionaron seis para la revisión, considerando los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos. La terapia periodontal básica mejora el control glucémico en pacientes con DM2, como se evidencia en el análisis de la hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c) y la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR). Por lo tanto, basándose en los resultados de esta investigación, el tratamiento periodontal no quirúrgico contribuye al control metabólico. Sin embargo, algunos estudios contradicen el efecto del control glucémico en estos pacientes, lo que refuerza la presencia de variables que interfieren en los resultados de la investigación, como los niveles de hemoglobina, el estadio de la enfermedad periodontal, la muestra, la dieta y la actividad física de los pacientes. Conclusiones: Los resultados deben evaluarse con mayor precaución, considerando las posibles variables presentes en este tipo de investigación. Por último, se deben realizar ensayos controlados para comprender mejor los efectos de la terapia periodontal no quirúrgica en el control glucémico en pacientes con DM2 (AU).

Objetivo: analizar la correlación entre el tiempo en rango y la hemoglobina glicosilada de personas que viven con diabetes mellitus y realizan la monitorización continua de la glucemia o el automonitoreo de la glucemia capilar Método: revisión sistemática de etiología y riesgo basada en las directrices del JBI e informada según los Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, abarcando seis bases de datos y la literatura gris. La muestra incluyó 16 estudios y la calidad metodológica fue evaluada utilizando las herramientas del JBI. Protocolo registrado en Open Science Framework, disponible en https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NKMZB. Resultados: tiempo en rango (70-180 mg/dl) mostró una correlación negativa con la hemoglobina glicosilada, mientras que el tiempo por encima del rango (>180 mg/dl) mostró una correlación positiva. Los coeficientes de correlación variaron entre -0,310 y -0,869 para el tiempo en rango, y entre 0,66 y 0,934 para el tiempo por encima del rango. Un estudio se realizó en una población que hacía el automonitoreo. Conclusión: hay una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre el tiempo en rango y el tiempo por encima del rango con la hemoglobina glicosilada. Cuanto mayor sea la proporción en el rango glucémico adecuado, más cerca o por debajo del 7% estará la hemoglobina glicosilada. Se necesitan más estudios que evalúen esta métrica con datos del automonitoreo de la glucemia.
Objective: to analyze the correlation between time on target and glycated hemoglobin in people living with diabetes mellitus and carrying out continuous blood glucose monitoring or self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose. Method: systematic review of etiology and risk based on JBI guidelines and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta- Analyses, covering six databases and grey literature. The sample included 16 studies and methodological quality was assessed using JBI tools. Protocol registered in the Open Science Framework, available at https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NKMZB. Results: time on target (70-180 mg/dl) showed a negative correlation with glycated hemoglobin, while time above target (>180 mg/dl) showed a positive correlation. Correlation coefficients ranged between -0.310 and -0.869 for time on target, and between 0.66 and 0.934 for time above target. A study was carried out on a population that performed self-monitoring. Conclusion: there is a statistically significant correlation between time on target and time above target with glycated hemoglobin. The higher the proportion in the adequate glycemic range, the closer to or less than 7% the glycated hemoglobin will be. More studies are needed to evaluate this metric with data from self-monitoring of blood glucose.

RESUMEN Introducción: La diabetes continúa siendo una de las principales causas de discapacidad y muerte en la población mundial. Alrededor del 25% de las personas con diabetes desarrollarán una úlcera en alguno de sus miembros pélvicos inferiores. Objetivo: El presente estudio evalúa los aspectos clínicos relacionados con la amputación del miembro inferior pélvico en una cohorte de pacientes con diabetes mellitus. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, transversal, realizado en colaboración entre el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social y la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, implicó una revisión de expedientes de pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en el Hospital General Regional "Ignacio García Téllez". Se seleccionaron 100 expedientes clínicos y Electrónicos basados en criterios de inclusión, que incluían edad mayor de 18 años, afiliación en el sitio del estudio, evolución de la diabetes de al menos 10 años, tratamiento farmacológico para la diabetes y diagnóstico de pie diabético con curación completa o amputación como resultado. Los análisis estadísticos se realizaron mediante STATA y se obtuvo aprobación ética. Resultados: Los pacientes con un control glucémico óptimo cuantificando sus niveles de glucosa en ayunas (<130 mg/dl) así como sus valores de hemoglobina glicosilada (< 7%) tuvieron una menor frecuencia de amputaciones (p˂0,001; Chi2) en comparación con aquellos pacientes sin un control glucémico adecuado. Conclusión: Se encontró que ser hombre, valores de hemoglobina glucosilada superiores al 7% y valores promedio de glucosa en ayunas superiores a 130 mg/L aumentan la probabilidad de presentar una amputación de extremidad inferior.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Diabetes continues to be a leading cause of disability and death in the world's population. About 25% of people with diabetes will develop an ulcer in one of their lower pelvic limbs. Objective: The present study evaluates the clinical aspects related to lower pelvic limb amputation in a cohort of patients with diabetes mellitus. Lazarte Echegaray Hospital during the period 2017-2020. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study, conducted in collaboration between the Mexican Institute of Social Security and the School of Pharmacy of the Autonomous University of Morelos State, involved a review of records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Regional General Hospital "Ignacio García Téllez". One hundred clinical and electronic records were selected based on inclusion criteria, which included age over 18 years, affiliation at the study site, diabetes evolution of at least 10 years, pharmacological treatment for diabetes and diagnosis of diabetic foot with complete healing or amputation as an outcome. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA and ethical approval was obtained. Results: Patients with optimal glycemic control by quantifying their fasting glucose levels (<130 mg/dl) as well as their glycated hemoglobin values (< 7%) had a lower frequency of amputations (p˂0.001; Chi2) compared to those patients without adequate glycemic control. Conclusion: Being male, glycosylated hemoglobin values greater than 7% and mean fasting glucose values greater than 130 mg/L were found to increase the likelihood of having a lower extremity amputation.
ABSTRACT
La incidencia y prevalencia de la diabetes mellitus ha aumentado exponencialmente a nivel mundial en las últimas décadas. Los pacientes diabéticos presentan mayor probabilidad de sufrir graves complicaciones, en los procedimientos quirúrgicos en relación a la población general. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo, describir la repercusión del estado hiperglucémico perioperatorio en la etapa postoperatoria en pacientes diabéticos. Para el logro del objetivo planteado se realizó la consulta de diversas obras, que abarcan los resultados de investigación con diferentes modalidades relacionadas con la temática. Se pudo apreciar que la hiperglucemia perioperatoria se vincula con resultados adversos en pacientes a los que se les realiza cirugía general y que padecen diabetes mellitus, sin embargo, en los pacientes que se ha logrado control glicémico con terapia insulínica antes de la intervención, no presentaron mayor riesgo, que el que aparece en sujetos con buen control metabólico. La regulación de la glucosa en la etapa perioperatoria es un parámetro importante en el paciente diabético, que reduce considerablemente las complicaciones en los procedimientos quirúrgicos, las prolongadas estancias en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos, e incluso, la muerte.
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased exponentially worldwide in recent decades. Diabetic patients are more likely to suffer serious complications in surgical procedures compared to the general population. The objective of this article is to describe the repercussion of the perioperative hyperglycemic state in the post-surgical stage in diabetic patients. In order to achieve the stated objective, various works were consulted, which include the results of research with different modalities related to the subject. It was possible to appreciate that perioperative hyperglycemia is associated with adverse results in general surgery patients with diabetes mellitus, however, in patients who have achieved glycemic control with insulin therapy before the intervention, they did not present a greater risk than that which appears in subjects with good metabolic control. Glucose regulation in the perioperative stage is an important parameter in diabetic patients, which considerably reduces complications in surgical procedures, long stays in Intensive Care Units, and even death.
ABSTRACT
Introducción. La calidad de los carbohidratos consumidos juega un papel importante en la prevención de las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT). Objetivo. Analizar el índice de calidad de los carbohidratos (ICC) en la población urbana costarricense y su relación con las variables sociodemográficas, antropométricas y la calidad y la diversidad de la dieta. Materiales y métodos. Los datos provienen del Estudio Latinoamericano de Nutrición y Salud, en una muestra representativa de 798 personas entre 15 y 65 años que residen en zonas urbanas de Costa Rica (2014- 2015). En una visita domiciliaria se administró un cuestionario para recolectar los datos sociodemográficos y se pesó y midió a los participantes. El consumo dietético se obtuvo mediante dos recordatorios de 24 horas en días no consecutivos. El ICC se calculó mediante el consumo de fibra, el índice glicémico, la relación carbohidratos sólidos/líquidos y la relación granos enteros/granos totales. Se comparó el ICC según el sexo, el grupo de edad, el nivel socioeconómico, el estado nutricional, la circunferencia de cintura y la calidad y diversidad de la dieta de los participantes. Resultados. El ICC se asoció positivamente con un mayor consumo de energía, carbohidratos totales, proteínas, grasas, colesterol, frutas, vegetales y leguminosas (p<0,001). Un mayor ICC se asoció positivamente con un mayor porcentaje de adecuación de micronutrientes y mayor índice de diversidad y calidad de la dieta (p<0,001), así como con un menor índice de masa corporal y una menor circunferencia de cintura al ajustar por sexo y edad (p<0,005). Conclusiones. El presente estudio demostró que un mayor ICC se asocia significativamente con mejores indicadores dietéticos e índice de masa corporal, por lo que resulta fundamental establecer en Costa Rica pautas dietéticas que permitan aumentar la calidad de los carbohidratos de la dieta con el fin de contribuir en la prevención de las ECNT(AU)
Introduction. The carbohydrate quality index (CQI) plays an important role in the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) and adequate macro and micronutrient intake. Objective. To analyze the carbohydrate quality index (CCI) in the Costa Rican urban population and its relationship with sociodemographic and anthropometric variables and the quality and diversity of the diet. Materials and methods. Data come from the Latin American Nutrition and Health Study (ELANS), in a representative sample of 798 people between 15 and 65 years of age who reside in urban areas of Costa Rica (2014-2015). During a home visit, a questionnaire was administered to collect sociodemographic data, and participants were measured and weighed. Dietary intake was obtained through two 24-hour recalls in non- consecutive days. The CQI was calculated using fiber intake, glycemic index, liquid/solid carbohydrate ratio, and whole grain/total grains. CCI was then compared according to sex, age-group, socioeconomic level, nutritional status and diet quality and diet diversity. Results. The CQI was positively associated with energy intake, total carbohydrates, proteins, fats, cholesterol, fruits, vegetables, and legumes (p<0,001). Also, CQI was associated with a higher percentage of micronutrient adequacy and diet quality and diversity (p<0,001), as well as with a lower body mass index and lower waist circumference when adjusting for sex and age (p<0,005). Conclusions. The present study showed that higher CQI is associated with better dietary and body mass index, which shows that it is essential to establish dietary guidelines for public health in Costa Rica that allows increasing the quality of carbohydrates in the diet to contribute to the prevention of chronic NCD(AU)

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of various oral hypoglycemic agents in the control of plasma blood glucose levels among Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Aims and Objectives: This study is aimed to evaluate the blood glucose controlling efficacy of various oral hypoglycemic drugs in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: This randomized and control study was conducted among the cases attending Department of General Medicine at Research cell of Chennai Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, during the period of June 2014 to July 2015. A total of 180 cases were randomly allotted to six groups. Group I was treated with Glibenclamide, Group-II was treated with Glibenclamide + Sitagliptin, Group-III was treated with Glibenclamide + Vildagliptin, Group-IV was treated with Metformin, Group-V was treated with Metformin + Sitagliptin, and Group-VI was treated with Metformin + Vildagliptin. Fasting, postprandial, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were assessed before and at 4, 8, and 12th weeks and the data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Results: Fasting and postprandial sugars were significantly reduced in Group V and Group VI during 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks. However, HbA1c levels were significantly reduced after 12 weeks of treatment in Group III, Group V, and Group VI. Conclusion: We conclude that metformin in combination with either Vildagliptin or Sitagliptin can help to reduce fasting, postprandial, and HbA1c levels (both in short-term and in long-term); however, Glibenclamide along with Vildagliptin could reduce only HbA1c levels (long-term alone).
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to verify the impact of carbohydrate counting (CC) on glycemic control and body weight variation (primary and secondary outcomes, respectively) between consultations in patients with diabetes mellitus (T1D) followed at a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil in a public health system environment. We also sought to investigate CC adherence. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 232 patients with T1D who underwent nutritional monitoring at a referral hospital for diabetes care between 2014 and 2018. To assess primary and secondary outcomes, data from 229 patients, 49 of whom underwent CC during this period and 180 individuals who used fixed doses of insulin, were analyzed. The impact of CC on glycemic control was assessed with the mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level at all consultations during the follow-up period. Results: In the model adjusted for the most confounders (except pregnancy), the mean HbA1c was better in the CC group (8.66 ± 0.4% vs. 9.36 ± 0.39%; p = 0.016), and body weight variation was lower (0.13 ± 0.28 kg vs. 0.53 ± 0.24 kg; p = 0.024). Adherence to CC was reported in 69.2% of consultations. Conclusion: CC optimized the glycemic control of individuals with T1D, resulting in less weight variation than in the fixed insulin dose group, which indicates that CC is an important care strategy for these patients.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the alternate use of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) with self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Materials and methods: Two weeks of open FGM (P2), both preceded (P1) and followed by 2 weeks (P3) of SMBG with a blinded FGM system. Mean absolute relative difference (MARD) was calculated by (-FGMi − SMBGi-) / SMBGi, where it was a paired data sample. Results: In total, 34 patients were evaluated. Time in range (TIR) did not change between P1 and P2. In 12 patients (35.3%), TIR increased from 40% at P1 to 52% at P2 (p = 0.002) and in 22 (64.7%), TIR decreased or did not change. FGM use resulted in decreased % time spent in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) (6.5% vs. 5.0%; p = 0.005), increased % time spent in hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL) (44.5% to 51%; p = 0.046) with no significant change in % TIR. The proportion of patients who reached sensor-estimated glycated hemoglobin (eA1c) < 7% decreased from 23.5% at P1 to 12.9% at P2, p = 0.028. For the whole sample, the MARD between the two methods was 15.5% (95% CI 14.5-16.6%). For normal glucose range, hyperglycemic levels and hypoglycemic levels MARD were 16.0% (95% CI 15.0-17.0%), 13.3% (95% CI 11.5-15.2%) and 23.4% [95% CI 20.5-26.3%)], respectively. Conclusion: FGM after usual SMBG decreased the % time spent in hypoglycemia concomitant with an undesired increase in % time spent in hyperglycemia. Lower accuracy of FGM regarding hypoglycemia levels could result in overcorrection of hypoglycemia.
ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre os níveis de adesão às recomendações de boas práticas em insulinoterapia e as métricas de controle glicêmico em pacientes com diabetes mellitus. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, realizado com 102 pacientes com diabetes mellitus. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e, em caráter complementar, com dados obtidos dos prontuários. Aplicaram-se quatro instrumentos de coleta: I) formulário de caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica, II) recordatório de orientações sobre insulinoterapia, III) folha de registro da automonitorização da glicemia capilar e IV) formulário de registro das métricas de avaliação do controle glicêmico. Resultados: Houve associação estatística significativa entre nível de não adesão (100%) às recomendações em insulinoterapia e tempo no alvo estimado ≤ 70%, assim como entre 80% de não adesão e desvio padrão ≥ 50 mg/dl. Conclusão: Esses achados validam que a não adesão às recomendações de boas práticas de insulinoterapia contribui para o descontrole glicêmico.
Objective: To analyze the relation between adherence levels to good practice recommendations for insulin therapy and glycemic control metrics in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted with 102 patients with diabetes mellitus. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews and complemented by information obtained from medical records. Participants answered four collection instruments: I) a sociodemographic and clinical characterization form, II) a reminder of insulin therapy guidelines, III) a capillary blood glucose self-monitoring record sheet and IV) a record form of glycemic control assessment metrics. Results: Results showed a statistically significant association between non-adherence level (100%) to insulin therapy recommendations with estimated time on target ≤ 70% and between non-adherence (80%) and standard deviation ≥ 50 mg/dl. Conclusion: These findings corroborate that non-adherence to good insulin therapy recommendations contribute to a lack of glycemic control

Las harinas de trigo, maíz, lentejas y arroz son elementales para la formulación de distintos alimentos de alto consumo en la población chilena. El proceso de extrusión es ampliamente utilizado por la industria alimentaria para generar propiedades que permitan la reconstitución instantánea de harinas. Sin embargo, dicho proceso tecnológico; afecta la cantidad, la estabilidad y la digestibilidad de los hidratos de carbono (CHO) del ingrediente alimentario. Estas propiedades nutricionales impactan directamente en la respuesta glicémica de los individuos y en el índice glicémico (IG) de los alimentos. La presente revisión analiza el efecto de la extrusión sobre las propiedades nutricionales de los CHO de alimentos elaborados a partir de harinas de consumo habitual en Chile. Factores como la temperatura, y en menor grado, la humedad y velocidad utilizadas en el proceso de extrusión, junto con el origen del grano utilizado, determinan las propiedades nutricionales de CHO presente en harinas extruidas. El estudio, control y estandarización de estas variables operacionales permitiría estandarizar la elaboración industrial de productos extruidos, impactando favorablemente; sobre la velocidad de hidrólisis de almidón y el IG de harinas de trigo, maíz, lentejas o arroz; y de alimentos formulados a partir de ellas.
Flours from wheat, corn, lentils, and rice are essential for the formulation of various high-consumption foods in the Chilean population. The extrusion process is widely used by the food industry to generate properties that allow for the instant reconstitution of flours. However, this technological process affects the nutritional properties of the carbohydrates (CHO) in the food ingredient, including quantity, stability, and digestibility; characteristics that directly impact the glycemic response of individuals and the glycemic index of foods. This review analyzes the effect of extrusion on the nutritional properties of CHO in foods made from commonly consumed flours in Chile. Factors such as temperature, and to a lesser extent, humidity, and speed used in the extrusion process, along with the origin of the grain used, determine the healthy properties of CHO in extruded flours. The utility of adjusting the mentioned variables in the extrusion process would allow for the standardization of industrial scaling in the production of extruded foods that would positively impact the starch hydrolysis rate and glycemic index of wheat, corn, lentil, or rice flours, and foods formulated from them.
