Objective: To determine the correlation between eosinophil count and aminotransferase levels among patients with and without diabetes from a polyclinic in the district of Villa El Salvador. Materials and methods: An observational, analytical and correlational study was conducted with 767 individuals, out of which 500 were patients without diabetes and 267 were patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus for at least six months and undergoing treatment. The study variables included age, sex, basal glycemia, eosinophil count, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess normality and Spearman's correlation coefficient was applied. The cut-off point for statistical significance was set at a = 0.05. Data analysis was performed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Statistics 25.0 software for Windows. Results: Among patients without diabetes, elevated AST and ALT levels were observed in 46.40 % and 27.20 %, respectively. In contrast, 62.50 % of patients with diabetes had elevated AST levels, while 35.50 % had elevated ALT levels. Among patients with diabetes, a moderate and negative correlation between eosinophil differential count and AST (Rho = -0.665) and ALT (Rho = -0.586) levels was found, whereas the group of patients without diabetes showed a weak or null correlation. Conclusions: Eosinophil count is moderately and negatively correlated with aminotransferase levels among patients with diabetes. Given the study limitations and the lack of direct precedents, further research with larger populations are needed. The interaction between polymorphonuclear cells, such as eosinophils, and hepatic and systemic inflammatory markers, such as aminotransferases, may serve as an early pathophysiological indicator of diabetes mellitus, potentially years or decades before the onset of micro- and macrovascular systemic complications of this endocrinopathy.

Objetivo: determinar las principales complicaciones asociados a la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 en pacientes geriátricos de una casa de salud de la ciudad de Riobamba. Método: investigación de tipo descriptiva, transversal y retrospectiva, se recolectaron los datos de las historias clínicas a una población de adultos geriátricos mayores a 60 años de una casa de salud en la ciudad de Riobamba. Resultados: 56% de los participantes fueron mujeres con diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus tipo 2. La media de edad fue de 70.8 años, aunque se consideró una edad mayor de 80 años para el desarrollo de complicaciones como cardiopatías, retinopatías y nefropatías. La nefropatía fue la complicación crónica más común, con una prevalencia del 26.7% en adultos mayores con diabetes. Además, se encontró que el 46.7% de los pacientes requerían insulinoterapia como parte de su tratamiento, mientras que solo el 0.8% dependía de intervenciones no farmacológicas, como dieta y ejercicio. Conclusiones: existió una alta prevalencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en mujeres mayores de 70 años, con la nefropatía como la complicación crónica más común. El elevado porcentaje de pacientes que requieren insulinoterapia resalta la importancia de un enfoque farmacológico en el manejo de la enfermedad. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de intervenciones específicas y protocolos de tratamiento adaptados a las características de la población de adultos mayores con diabetes para prevenir y controlar eficazmente las complicaciones asociadas.

Background: Overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) are major health problems both in Mexico and the world. Because of the chronic low-grade inflammatory state that characterizes OW and OB, they are considered as cardiovascular risk factors. The leuko-glycemic index (LGI) is a ratio used as a prognostic factor to predict complications in patients with vascular diseases. Objective: To assess the utility of LGI index as an inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction marker in patients with OW and OB. Material and methods: Comparative cross-sectional study in 124 patients of Family Medicine Unit 80 of Mexican Social Security Institute. Young adults aged between 18-50 years old, and BMI between 18.5 and 40 kg/m2, without diagnosis of chronic diseases, auto immunities or immunodeficiencies were included. Bioelectrical impedance (weight, height, BMI, % body fat, lean mass) and blood sample (blood count, glucose, lipid profile, inflammatory, endothelial dysfunction markers) were assessed. Patients were grouped according to their BMI: OB, OW and normal weight (NW). Results: LGI was found to be significantly elevated in OB and OW patients vs. NW. The LGI correlated positively with inflammation and DE markers: IL-6, TNF-a, vWF. A value = 405 was estimated with ROC curves as cut-off point for LGI to predict the likelihood of inflammation and ED in OW and OB patients. Conclusions: ILG is relevant as a predictive marker of cardiovascular disease by reflecting inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in patients with OW and OB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the association and risk of hypercholesterolemia among adult patients with prediabetes treated at a medical center in the district of Villa El Salvador in Lima, Peru. Materials and methods: An analytical, prospective and cross-sectional study conducted with data from medical consultation records of 749 patients treated at a polyclinic in the district of Villa El Salvador in Lima, Peru. Asymptomatic adult patients who had routine and preventive checkups were included in the research. Patients with endocrine and metabolic disorders or being treated with hypoglycemic drugs were excluded. The study variables were sex, hypercholesterolemia and prediabetes. The association analysis was performed using the chi-square test and the risk was evaluated by means of the odds ratio. In addition, the multivariate analysis was conducted through a binary logistic regression, and an alpha value of 0.05 and a confidence level of 95 % were considered as the cut-off point to determine the statistical significance. Results: There was a statistically significant association between prediabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Females with prediabetes were 1.66 times more likely to develop hypercholesterolemia than females with normal baseline glucose levels, while males with prediabetes were 2.37 times more likely to have high cholesterol than males with normal baseline blood glucose levels. Conclusions: Prediabetes is associated with hypercholesterolemia, thus increasing its risk. It is justifiable to carry out the joint measurement of fasting total cholesterol and baseline glucose in disease prevention and health promotion campaigns,regular checkups and follow-up of patients with risk factors for diabetes, prediabetes and hypercholesterolemia. This helps reduce the hemodynamic and cardiovascular consequences of high cholesterol levels and the worsening of the joint morbidity and mortality of chronic hyperglycemia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El nuevo modo de monitorizar al paciente con diabetes, mediante los sensores continuos de glucemia, permite un conocimiento más íntimo de dicho paciente. La monitorización continua de glucosa permite asimismo que la adecuación del tratamiento resulte inmediata. En este editorial se anima a los farmacéuticos comunitarios a adaptarse y evolucionar, para abrazar el nuevo paradigma que permite estar aún más ligado al paciente y ayudarle a interpretar los datos que genera.

Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación y el riesgo de hipercolesterolemia en pacientes adultos prediabéticos atendidos en un centro médico del distrito de Villa El Salvador en Lima, Perú. Materiales y métodos: Estudio analítico, prospectivo y transversal, con datos de historias clínicas de consultas médicas de 749 pacientes atendidos en un policlínico del distrito de Villa El Salvador, Lima, Perú. Se incluyó a pacientes adultos asintomáticos que asistieron a evaluaciones de rutina y preventivas. Se excluyó a pacientes con enfermedades endocrino-metabólicas o en tratamiento con fármacos hipoglucemiantes. Las variables de estudio fueron sexo, hipercolesterolemia y prediabetes. El análisis de asociación se realizó por medio de la prueba de chi cuadrado y el riesgo fue evaluado por medio de la oportunidad relativa; asimismo, se realizó el análisis multivariado por medio de regresión logística binaria y se consideró como punto de corte en decisión de significancia estadística el valor alfa igual a 0,05 y un nivel de confianza de 95 %. Resultados: Hubo asociación estadísticamente significativa entre prediabetes e hipercolesterolemia. Las mujeres prediabéticas tuvieron 1,66 veces más riesgo de desarrollar hipercolesterolemia que las mujeres con niveles de glucosa basal normales, mientras que los hombres con prediabetes tuvieron 2,37 veces más riesgo de tener colesterol alto que los hombres con niveles de glucemia basal normales. Conclusiones: La prediabetes se asocia con la hipercolesterolemia, lo cual aumenta su riesgo. Es justificable realizar la medición conjunta del colesterol total en ayunas junto con la medición de la glucosa basal en campañas preventivo-promocionales de salud y en consultas periódicas, así como durante el seguimiento de pacientes con factores de riesgo de diabetes, prediabetes e hipercolesterolemia, a fin de reducir las consecuencias hemodinámicas y cardiovasculares del colesterol elevado en la sangre y el agravamiento de la morbimortalidad conjunta de la hiperglucemia crónica.

Introducción: la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) se define como un trastorno metabólico caracterizado por niveles de glucosa en sangre crónicamente elevados. La DM2 representa el paradigma de las enfermedades crónicas en las que existe una estrecha asociación entre factores familiares y ambientales. Por este motivo, este estudio tiene como finalidad determinar la asociación del riesgo a desarrollar DM2 y los hábitos tóxicos no ilícitos en pacientes que residen en una comunidad rural de Peravia, República Dominicana. Tales incluyen: alcohol, café y té. Metodología: Estudio observacional, transversal, analítico y prospectivo. Se aplicó cuestionario, recolectaron datos antropométricos y se determinó glucosa capilar a la muestra (n=304). Resultados: la prevalencia a presentar un alto riesgo a desarrollar DM2 en la población es de 35.5%, mientras que la prevalencia a presentar riesgo bajo es de 64.5%. En cuanto a hábitos tóxicos, no existió correlación positiva entre consumo de té y desarrollo de DM2. Sin embargo, sí entre el consumo de café y alcohol. Conclusiones: los habitantes de salinas presentan un bajo riesgo a desarrollar DM2, pero utilizan factores de riesgos modificables que aumentan la prevalencia a DM2.

Introduction: The synergetic evaluation of the hyperglycemia and the white blood count as leukoglycemic index (LGI) joins a bigger number of adverse events during the internment in patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the leukoglycemic index (LGI) in the appearing of in-hospital complications in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Method: Multicentral and historic cohort study, which included 1133 patients inserted in the Cuban Registry of Acute Myocardial Infarction, among January 2018 and June 2021. Patients were divided in quartiles and in groups according to the optimal cut-point calculated for the LGI. Results: Optimal cut-point of the ILG to predict complications was 1188.4 (sensibility 61.4%; specificity 57.3%; area under curve 0.609; p < 0.001). The appearing of in-hospital complications was significantly increased in the LGI’s quartiles; as well as in the two groups according to cut-point. The analysis of logistic regression revealed that the LGI was an independent predictor of in-hospital complications (OR [IC 95%] = 1.27 [1.11-1.46]; p = 0.001). When the LGI was associated to the multivariate model, its predictive capability was rose (area under curve 0.813; p < 0.001). Kaplan Meier’s curves showed significant differences among groups of patient (p = 0.030). Conclusions: The LGI is an independent predictor of appearing of in-hospital complications in STEMI. The addition of the LGI to a basal model of risk has a strong positive effect in the prediction of adverse prognosis in patients with STEMI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: dairy products have long been recommended as part of a healthy eating plan, but there is a controversial opinion about whether or not they should be included in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objective: the aim of this study was to know if there is an association between the intake of total dairy and dairy subgroups and the chance of having T2D, and the status of markers of glucose metabolism. Methods: three hundred and forty-two adult subjects participated in the study. A validated food-frequency questionnaire was applied to establish the dairy intake. Clinical-pathological and anthropometric variables (height, weight, waist circumference and serum concentrations of blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], high sensitive C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNFα], interleukin [IL] 6 and IL-10) were measured. Consumption tertiles were calculated for each dairy subgroup. Correlation coefficients, multiple linear regression models and logistic regression models were used to assess the relation between dairy product consumption and markers of glucose metabolism. Results: a negative correlation was observed between the consumption of fermented dairy products and IL-10 (r = -0.27, p = 0.0206). Fermented dairy products were inversely associated with blood glucose, and HbA1c. Total dairy intake was positively associated with a lower chance of having diabetes in tertiles 2 and 3 of consumption, in relation to the reference tertile, adjusted for age, smoking habit, and alcohol intake, body mass index (BMI) and dietary variables. Conclusions: with this study, we broaden our understanding of the role of dairy intake in diabetes risk. However, more long-term studies are needed to confirm the associations and explore different confounding factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: in patients with diabetes mellitus, the haptoglobin genotype is considered a risk factor for the onset of heart disease. It has been reported that in diabetics, the Hp 2-2 genotype generates a five-fold greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to diabetic patients with another genotype. This study aims to determine the haptoglobin genotype in diabetic patients who come to the Viedma Clinical Hospital laboratory from November 2018 to January 2019. Methods: 76 sera from fasting diabetic patients with a lipid profile request were analyzed. For the determination of the three haptoglobin genotypes, a commercial enzyme immunoassay kit (Hp-Epitope ELISA) was used; The enzymatic method was used to determine glycemia and lipid profile. Results: of the total studied population of diabetic patients, 12% have the Hp 2-2 genotype. In those uncontrolled patients, the glycemia values (201 mg/dl) are statistically significant in relation to the other two genotypes. These uncontrolled diabetic patients with the Hp 2-2 genotype also have significantly elevated levels of cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides in relation to the other two genotypes. Conclusions: our results coincide with previous studies which indicate that diabetic patients who have the Hp 2-2 genotype have a greater risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease compared to the other 2 genotypes.

En la diabetes, los episodios de hipoglucemia son a menudo una complicación común que requiere una acción urgente para que los valores de glucosa del paciente regresen dentro del rango normal, caso contrario, pueden ocurrir convulsiones y daños en los nervios. Se define y clasifca como hipoglucemia: si el resultado del valor de glucosa es inferior a 70 mg. Entonces se debe aplicar la regla 15/15 si el paciente se mantiene lucido, despierto, está consciente y es capaz de ingerir alimentos o líquidos o vía oral, de lo contrario, será necesario y urgente la administración de glucagón. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 39 años, con antecedentes: tiempo de enfermedad de 5 años: diabetes mellitus tipo 2, con tratamiento de insulina NPH cada 24 horas desde hace dos años, quien informó que presentaba hace aproximadamente diez minutos: "mareos", debilidad y “frío”, además manifestó una sensación indescriptiblemente extraña de “miedo”, palpitaciones y sudoración profusa solo en la frente. En seguida se le procede a la toma de hemoglucotes arrojando un resultado de "LO” signifca que la glucemia es inferior a 20 mg/dl, una situación que debe ser atendida en forma inmediata y oportuna, puede presentarse complicaciones negativas en la paciente. Este reporte de caso tiene el objetivo principal de valorar los resultados del glucómetro en la consulta de enfermería y poder tomar decisiones inmediatas con intervenciones de enfermería que permita atender la urgencia de la hipoglucemia en la consulta de enfermería en un hospital. Esta situación permitió brindar educación diabetológica en el paciente: identifcando la situación de hipoglucemia, identifcación de sus síntomas, los valores bajos de glucosa, las intervenciones en forma segura y rápida con ofrecer la toma de un alimento como tomar un caramelo o algún producto que contenga azúcar, por ejemplo: uvas, zumos de fruta, refresco con azúcar o un vaso de frugo, o medio vaso con agua y dos cucharadas de azúcar o una cucharada de miel. Cualquiera de estas opciones puede ser efectiva y lo que sea más accesible al paciente. Para la resolución del caso: se procedió a servir medio vaso de jugo envasado a fn de equilibrar los valores de glucosa del paciente en la sangre. La evolución del paciente fue avorable, salió lucido, despierto y regresó a casa en forma normal.

Contexto: uso de monitoria intermitente de glucosa en pacientes que se encuentran en hemodiálisis. Objetivo: describir el comportamiento de la glucosa, mediante monitorización intermitente en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica que se encuentran en hemodiálisis. Metodología: estudio observacional prospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica de diferentes causas que se encuentran en hemodiálisis. A su vez, se analizaron los resultados de las glucometrías antes y durante la sesión de hemodiálisis renal en 85 paciente hospitalizados, y posteriormente, se analizaron los valores de las glucometrías el día de hemodiálisis en 47 pacientes ambulatorios. Resultados: se incluyeron 132 pacientes con una mediana de edad de 61 años, 54.5% de sexo femenino, procedentes en gran parte de la ciudad de Neiva, Huila. El 93.9% tenían antecedentes de HTA; el 63.6% tenían anemia y el 53.8% diabetes mellitus, con un tiempo promedio de terapia de reemplazo renal de 3,05 años. El promedio de la glucometría al inicio de la hemodiálisis fue de 18,9 mg/dl mayor, respecto al valor postdiálisis entre los pacientes con diabetes, y solo de 14,0 mg/dl en los pacientes sin diabetes. Independientemente del antecedente de diabetes mellitus, el comportamiento de las glucometrías fue similar con valores más altos al inicio de la terapia observándose un descenso posterior con pocos registros de hipoglucemia. Conclusiones: en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica que se encuentran en hemodiálisis el monitoreo intermitente de glucosa capilar, se evidencia un comportamiento en los valores de glucemia que muestran un descenso intradiálisis con elevación posterior al terminar la terapia de reemplazo renal.

Contexto: en la actualidad, la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2) constituye una enfermedad de alta prevalencia en el mundo, se caracteriza por una incapacidad para regular la glucosa plasmática e implica para su desarrollo varias fases, las cuales incluyen la resistencia a la insulina y la disfunción de las células beta pancreáticas. Los mecanismos biológicos que llevan al desarrollo de la enfermedad implican alteraciones intracelulares en órganos como el músculo esquelético, secundarios a lipotoxicidad y glucotoxicidad, los cuales favorecen el desarrollo de resistencia a la insulina, adicionalmente, la presencia de estas mismas alteraciones en células beta, que da como resultado la reducción en la producción de insulina. Objetivo: comprender los mecanismos biológicos de cómo el ejercicio influye tanto en la prevención como manejo de la DMT2. Metodología: se revisaron artículos en bases de datos electrónicas (últimos diez años) y textos guías de Endocrinología y Fisiología del Ejercicio, con relación a la DMT2 y el ejercicio. Resultados: el ejercicio físico, tanto de fuerza como de resistencia, ha demostrado mejorar la actividad metabólica muscular, reducir la inflamación sistémica, favorecer la función mitocondrial, modificar la composición corporal y contribuir a la función de las células beta. Al parecer, buena parte de estos efectos son secundarios a la acción endocrina del músculo, pero también al impacto metabólico y energético que el ejercicio implica. Conclusiones: esta revisión demuestra los mecanismos biológicos de cómo el ejercicio es un pilar clave en la prevención y el tratamiento de la DMT2.

The article is about the paradigm shift in the treatment of diabetes thanks to continuous glucose monitoring. It mentions that new drugs for diabetes, such as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2), and glucagon-like peptide 1 analogs (GLP1), have contributed to reducing diabetes mortality. Additionally, the importance of continuous glucose sensors is highlighted, as they allow for better understanding of the patient and immediate treatment adjustments. It is mentioned that these devices are available for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who meet certain requirements. The article concludes by encouraging pharmacists to adapt to this new paradigm and help patients interpret the data generated by continuous glucose monitoring. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: Evaluate the association between glycemia on admission and adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID19 in a Peruvian national hospital. Methods: Retrospective, observational cohort study. We collected data from electronic medical records of COVID19 patients in a medical specialties service. Patients were classified according to blood glucose levels on admission: = and >140mg/dL. Primary outcome was mortality, and the secondary a composite that included mortality, septic shock, mechanical ventilation, or transfer to ICU. We also evaluated hospital stay and a multivariate logistic regression sub analysis was performed in diabetic patients. Results: 169 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 61 years, 64.5% were male. 71% had at least one comorbidity, the most frequent: arterial hypertension (34%), obesity (30%) and diabetes (26%). 70% presented tomographic gravity. Median blood glucose at admission was 126.5mg/dL (IQR: 109-157mg/dL), one of every 3 had blood glucose levels >140mg/dL. Mortality rate was 9700 deaths per 100000 person-weeks, with a frequency of 21.3%. No significant difference was found between hyperglycemia and normoglycemia, mortality and in composite outcome. Patients with hyperglycemia on admission had longer hospital stay than normoglycemic patients (19 vs 13 days, p<0.01). In sub-analysis with multivariate logistic regression for composite outcome among diabetic patients, admission blood glucose >180mg/dL presented OR of 6.42 (95% CI: 1.07-38.6) for composite outcome, adjusted for age and clinical severity at admission. Conclusions: Hyperglycemia at admission was associated with a longer hospital stay and diabetic patients with hyperglycemia >180mg/dL had a 6-fold increased risk of presenting an adverse outcome.

Objetivo. Determinar si existe correlación entre los niveles de glucosa basal con los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos en pacientes asintomáticos o con molestias inespecíficas que acuden a consulta para evaluaciones de rutina. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico correlacional. Las variables fueron los niveles de colesterol, triglicéridos y glucosa. Se recabo información de 637 pacientes mayores de 18 años en un policlínico del distrito de Villa el Salvador desde enero hasta julio del año 2021, en el análisis estadístico se utilizó el programa SPSS 21, para el estudio de correlación se usó el coeficiente de Spearman con un nivel de significancia de 0,01. Resultados. Solo el 50,60% y 50,90% de pacientes tuvieron niveles normales de colesterol y triglicéridos, respectivamente. El 15,90% de pacientes presenta pre-diabetes y el 15,10% tiene diabetes mellitus. Asimismo, se encontró una asociación baja y positiva entre glucosa y colesterol (0,145) y entre glucosa y triglicéridos (0,255) así como una correlación moderada y positiva entre colesterol y triglicéridos (0,405). Conclusión. Existe un bajo grado de asociación entre las variables estudiadas por lo que no es posible determinar los valores de colesterol y triglicéridos en base a glucosa y viceversa, esto se puede atribuir a que los niveles de glucosa y colesterol están regulados por factores fisiológicos y genéticas distantes.

Background: measuring the concentrations of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is one of the most effective techniques to evaluate the glycemic control in diabetic patients. Objective: to characterize the results of glycosylated hemoglobin test in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 at the Provincial Center for Patient Care with Diabetes in Camagüey, from May 2018 to September 2019. Methods: a descriptive cross study in patients older than 40 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was performed in the institution and period mentioned before. The universe was 150 patients and the sample was 80 patients selected by exclusion criterion. In addition to the glycosylated hemoglobin test, it also evaluated age, sex, color of skin, anthropometrics measures, risk factors, the evolution of the disease, micro and macrovascular complications. Results: the patients comprised into 50 and 60 years old were frequent (63.75 %). The female was the most affected sex (61.25 %) and the white skin patients (80 %). The hypertriglyceridemia was the major number (63.75 %) fallowed by mix dyslipidemia (47.50 %). The higher risk of micro and macrovascular complications was in 31 patients with significant statistic relation to the high values of HbA1c. An 87.5 % presented arterial hypertension and a 70 % alteration in the body mass index. The diabetic neuropathy was the predominant complication (70 %). Conclusion: there was a relation between patient with deficient glycemic control and major alteration in the lipid profile.

Introducción: Circunferencia de cintura (CC), índice cintura/talla (ICT) e índice de masa corporal (IMC) elevados se relacionan con mayor riesgo cardiometabólico. El objetivo fue identificar puntos de corte antropométricos que permitan discriminar a sujetos en riesgo aumentado de presentar tensión arterial y glucemia elevadas en adultos argentinos. Métodos: Se utilizaron los resultados de la 4ta ENFR argentina. Se incluyeron sujetos de 18 a 65 años a quienes se les haya medido directamente tensión arterial, glucemia y antropometría (n=4.254 y 1.683 sujetos de ambos sexos para tensión arterial y glucemia elevadas respectivamente). Se calculó el área bajo la curva ROC. El punto de corte óptimo fue el que presentó menor diferencia entre sensibilidad y especificidad. Se calcularon odds ratios ajustados (ORa) para cada punto. Resultados: En varones los puntos de corte para tensión arterial elevada fueron CC=91,5 cm (ORa=3,55; IC95%=2,97-4,24), ICT=0,541 (ORa=3,12; IC95%=2,61-3,73) e IMC=27,0 kg/m2 (ORa=3,04; IC95%=2,55-3,63); y para glucemia elevada CC=94,5 cm (ORa=2,46; IC95%=1,64-3,70), ICT=0,559 (ORa=2,35; IC95%=1,55-3,55) e IMC=28,6 kg/m2 (ORa= 3,23; IC95%=2,14-4,88). En mujeres, para tensión arterial elevada fueron CC=88,5 cm (ORa=3,57; IC95%=2,84-4,41), ICT=0,542 (ORa=3,45; IC95%=2,79-4,27) e IMC=26,7 kg/m2 (ORa=3,25; IC95%=2,64-4,02); y para glucemia elevada CC=93,5 cm (ORa=4,28; IC95%=2,72-6,75), ICT=0,573 (ORa=3,61; IC95%=2,31-5,66) e IMC=27,8 kg/m2 (ORa=3,14; IC95%=2,03-4,87). Conclusión: Los adultos argentinos a quienes se les mida CC sobre la piel y se encuentren por encima de los puntos de corte aquí identificados, cuentan con un riesgo significativamente mayor de presentar tensión arterial y glucemia elevadas.

The measurement of glucose in canines is a common procedure in daily clinical practice. Currently this value can be obtained by use of portable devices and laboratory tests. This research was carried out in order to provide more knowledge about the importance of glucose measurement, since in recent years it has lost value among the hematological tests to be considered because it is only related to certain pathologies such as diabetes or other metabolic diseases. The present study aimed to compare the glucose values in dogs obtained with a portable glucometer for human use, veterinarian use, and the standard laboratory test. This comparison may indicate the reliability of the results obtained through the evaluated methods. A blood sampling of 50 clinically healthy canines was taken and submitted to glucose evaluation using the three methods. Our investigation showed that the three ways of assessing blood glucose have statistically different results (p < 0.05). Glucose values had final averages of 84.14 mg/dL, 101.12 mg/dL, and 91.12 mg/dL for the portable glucometer for human use (Accu-chek® Active, Roche Diagnostic, Mannheim, Germany), veterinary (aLcose® Vet Glu, jjPlus Corporation, New Taipei, Taiwan) and the standard laboratory test, respectively. In conclusion, portable glucometers for human use underestimate the glucose values, and those for veterinary use overestimate them compared to the standard laboratory test. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The administration of antibacterial agents to reduce or eliminate pre and postoperative infections in diabetics has been polemic and controversial topic in Dentistry for decades. Objective: To determine glycemic control in diabetic patients after applied stomatological treatments and the use of antibacterial prophylaxis. Methods: Observational descriptive cross-sectional study in 32 diabetic patients who required dental assistance in primary care. The variables type of diabetes, dental treatment performed, use of antibacterial prophylaxis, type of antibacterial agent prescribed and glycemic control were operationalized. For the determination of the latter, the blood glucose figures were measured instants before the treatment carried out and 24 hours later. The mean values obtained were compared through Wilcoxon of the signed ranks and U-Mann-Whitney non-parametric tests. Results: The most performed stomatological treatments were dental extraction and scaling. Numbers of glycemia suffered increases after these procedures, but were not clinically significant and were not related to the use of antibacterial prophylaxis. Glycemic control was adequate in 84.4 % of diabetic patients. Conclusions: The glycemic control of diabetic patients after the stomatological treatments performed is adequate and is not related to the use of antibacterial prophylaxis.

La diabetes mellitus es una de las patologías humanas con un alto índice de mortalidad lo cual motiva seguir investigando su control, específicamente con extractos de plantas. Esto nos incentivó a evaluar el efecto hipoglucemiante de Geranium ayavacense L. “pasuchaca” y Stachis arvensis L. “subssacha” sobre la glicemia en ratas usándose como referente a la glibenclamida. Las ratas tuvieron 240 gramos de peso promedio. Se estimó a 30 animales en 5 lotes de 6 cada uno, sometiéndolos en ayunas y se les indujo hiperglicemia a una dosis de 2 g de kg/p.c. de glucosa vía orogástrica. El primer lote recibió agua, el segundo lote recibió glucosa, el tercer lote tomó glucosa más pasuchaca, el cuarto lote recibió glucosa más subssacha y el quinto lote recibió el carbohidrato y glibenclamida. La dosis empleada de pasuchaca y subssacha fue de 400 mg/kg. En los 5 lotes se valoró la glicemia a los 0”, 30”, 60”, 90” y 120 minutos. Hubo diferencias significativas de los promedios de glicemia entre los lotes analizados por ANOVA al 5% de significancia (p < 0,05). En nuestras condiciones experimentales, la dosis de Geranium ayavacense L. “pasuchaca” a 400 mg/kg en ratas presentó el mejor efecto hipoglicémico.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most serious public health problems in Mexico. The most worrying factor is the lack of control of it, which has a direct impact, causing severe damage to the health and quality of life of the patient and its family, as well as an economic burden to the health system. The development of a non-invasive method for measuring blood glucose would provide to patients a simple and painless way of monitoring and consequently better control of diabetes. Objective: To investigate, develop and validate a non-invasive sensor by means of spectroscopy for the estimation of the blood glucose level. Material and methods: An analysis of a cross-sectional analytical correlation study was carried out in the facilities of the laboratory at the UMAE No. 1, Bajío. Voluntary adult patients who attended the laboratory of the UMAE to take serum glucose levels were included, and simultaneously the measurement was carried out through a non-invasive method by spectroscopy and, later, both results were compared to demonstrate the validity of the device. Results: By the Bland-Altman mean difference analysis, it was identified that only one patient had an extreme value, and that the method to measure glucose non-invasively overestimates up to 10.2% of the central glucose value. Conclusion: Comparing these results with the standards for digital glucometers, it is concluded that our device is capable of providing accurate glucose levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Glycemia is a word of easy definition, blood glucose, but it is no longer simple when you want to understand the meaning of a certain result. The challenge is to correctly interpret the value found.

Objective: To determine the association between family support and glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who attend the outpatient endocrinology office of the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo. Materials and methods: A quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 158 diabetic subjects over 18 years of age whose glycosylated hemoglobin was obtained at the time of the consultation using the Epi Info version 7.9.2 software, with a 95 % confidence level, 5 % accuracy and 12.11 % expected frequency. A non-probability convenience sampling was used. A data collection sheet was employed to register the patients' sociodemographic, clinical and social environment data, as well as the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III (FACES III) to determine the family support. A chi-square test was used to determine the association between family support and glycemic control. Results: Female patients accounted for 50.6 % (n = 80) of the sample. The mean age was 63.5 ± 12.10 years. The patients' children (50.6 %, n = 80) and spouses (20.3 %, n = 32) were the most likely primary caregivers. Out of the 158 study subjects, 98 (62 %) had a good glycemic control, 44 % of whom (44.9 %) presented an adequate family support. Out of the 60 patients with no glycemic control, 16 (26.6 %) had an adequate family support. A statistically significant association between family support and glycemic control was demonstrated, with X² = 5,252 and Ï? value < 0.05. Conclusions: There is a significant association between family support and glycemic control among the diabetic patients treated at the outpatient endocrinology office of the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo.

Introduction: there is a recent increase in interest in the use of medicinal and phytotherapeutic plants. Objective: to verify the effect of ethanolic extracts from different parts of fruits of two species of the genus Syzygium, on glucose and lipid levels in the blood, using animal models. Results: the bark extract of the seeds of S. cumini (Lamarck) Skeels proved to be effective in reducing blood glucose levels. This same extract was also effective in lowering blood cholesterol levels. The extract from the seed nuclei of S. cumini (Lamarck) Skeels and S. paniculatum (Gaertn) were effective in reducing blood triglyceride levels. Extracts from all parts of the fruits of S. cumini (Lamarck) Skeels and of the seed nuclei of S. paniculatum (Gaertn) prevented weight gain in the animals. Conclusion: in general, the seed extract of both species showed a direct influence on the parameters and characteristics under study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To estimate the prevalence of total, diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes, and the prevalence of poor glyce­mic control in Mexico, and its associated factors. Materials and methods. Data from 3 700 adult participants were analysed in the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Diabetes prevalences were estimated with population weights, and the factors associated with total diabetes and poor glycemic control with Poisson regression models. Results The total prevalence of diabetes was 13.7% (9.5% diagnosed, 4.1% undiagnosed); 68.2% of people with diagnosed diabetes presented poor glycemic control. Longer disease duration, living in the centre or south of the country and being treated in pharmacies were associated with poor glycemic control. Being treated in a social security system was associated with better glycemic control. Conclusion. Multisectoral efforts are needed to strengthen screening, timely diagnosis and disease control, considering differences by region and type of health service.

Foundation: various sources claim that there are differences in some anthropometric and hemodynamic variables between individuals with normal, risk and pathological glycemia, which makes necessary to show new evidence. Objective: to determine the relationship between anthropometric and hemodynamic variables with the glycemia figures in individuals of the Cienfuegos municipality in 2010. Methods: a correlational cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. The sample consisted of 925 individuals. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, skin color, abdominal waist, body mass index, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure, cardiovascular reactivity index and glycemia. Nonparametric statistical tests were applied to evaluate the correlation between fasting blood glucose and the study variables, with a significance of 99 %. The results are presented in tables and graphs. Results: there was a predominance of white skin color and female gender and individuals between 35-44 years represented the highest percentage of the sample. Patients with risk glycemia and diabetics had an increase in the study variables above normal. Conclusions: there is a positive correlation between glucose concentration and the analyzed variables, which explains anthropometric and hemodynamic imbalances in patients with glycemia risk and pathology.

Fundamentación: diversas fuentes aseveran que existen diferencias en algunas variables antropométricas y hemodinámicas entre individuos con glucemia normal, riesgo y patológica, por lo cual se hace necesario mostrar nuevas evidencias. Objetivo: determinar la relación entre variables antropométricas y hemodinámicas con las cifras de glucemia en individuos del municipio Cienfuegos en el 2010. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 925 individuos. Las variables analizadas fueron: edad, sexo, color de la piel, cintura abdominal, índice de masa corporal, presión arterial sistólica, diastólica y media, índice de reactividad cardiovascular y glucemia. Se aplicaron pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas para evaluar la correlación entre la glucemia en ayunas y las variables de estudio, con una significación del 99 %. Los resultados se presentan en tablas y gráficos. Resultados: hubo predominio del color de piel blanca y el sexo femenino y los individuos entre 35-44 años representaron el mayor porcentaje de la muestra. Los pacientes con glucemia de riesgo y diabéticos presentaron un incremento de las variables de estudio por encima de lo normal. Conclusiones: existe una correlación positiva entre la concentración de glucosa y las variables de estudio analizadas, lo que explica los desbalances antropométricos y hemodinámicos en pacientes con glicemia riesgo y patológica.

Foundation: Impaired maternal glycemia figures can cause perinatal morbidity and mortality. The study of impaired fasting blood glucose in pregnant women is of relevant importance, due to its impact on perinatal outcomes; and it requires new analyzes, in correspondence with the current criteria.Objective: to compare perinatal results of pregnant women with impaired fasting glycaemia, with those of those who presented an impaired glucose tolerance test.Methods: a descriptive study was carried out in the obstetrics department of the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima Hospital, in Cienfuegos, from January to December 2016. A number of 144 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus, according to criteria of the World Health Organization were studied and were divided according to the diagnostic criteria in: patients with impaired fasting blood glucose and patients with impaired glucose tolerance test. Both groups were compared in terms of clinical variables and perinatal results. Square Chi was used (p Results: the groups compared showed similar results in terms of age, body mass index, time of pregnancy at diagnosis, parity, treatment, gestational age at birth; as well as in the perinatal results: rate of labor induction and cesarean section, congenital malformations, fetal microsomia and low weight, neonatal asphyxia, neonatal ventilation and admission to neonatal intensive care.Conclusion: pregnant women with impaired fasting blood glucose showed clinical characteristics and perinatal results similar to pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance test.

Foundation: blood glucose and leukocyte count at admission have shown prognostic significance in patients with myocardial infarction. Leuko-glycemic index is a recently proposed marker as a predictor of mortality. Objective: to evaluate the usefulness of the leuko-glycemic index in the stratification of the risk of in-hospital death after STEMI. Method: a prospective observational study was conducted which included all patients admitted consecutively with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation and Killip> I class, from January 2012 to June 2015 at the Provincial University Hospital Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán. Clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic data were collected and the prognostic implication of the leuko-glycemic index in in-hospital mortality was determined through binary logistic regression. The studied variables were: age, sex and color of the skin, medical history and cardiovascular risk factors, clinical data such as systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate at admission. Results: LGI was a predictor of mortality in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients (c = 0.673 and c = 0.707) respectively. There was a positive correlation between the Killip class and the leuco-glycemic index (r: 0.471 p Conclusions: the leuko-glycemic index in the course of an acute myocardial infarction can be associated with a higher in-hospital mortality. Its detection would be useful in the prognostic stratification of acute coronary syndrome.

Objective. To estimate the association between sweet­ened beverages (SB) consumption with adiposity indica­tors and metabolic status among young Chilean adults. Materials and methods. We analyzed food frequency consumption, body mass index (BMC), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (BFP), glucose and triglycerides in 931 young adults randomly selected from Valparaiso Region using multivariate regression models controlling confusion and interactions factors. Results. The median age was 24.9 years; (95%CI: 92.3-95.3) reported SB consumption, 33.1% received more than two portions (≥500 ml) daily what was associated with an increase in glycemia (β=2.40; p=0.024) (both sexes), with BMI (β=1.48, p=0.04), WC (β= 4.50; p=0.009) and BFP (β=3.02, p< 0.001) only in women. Conclusion. High consumption of SB increases glycemia in young adults and only in women, indicators of adiposity, relevant antecedents to formulate policies that decrease SB consumption and its consequences.

Background: In Mexico there are 50% patients that have metabolic decontrol so in 2008 the Program of Attention for the Diabetic Patient of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (DiabetIMSS) was implemented, that it uses strategies for prevention and integral attention for the people by educative session's to achieve a metabolic control in the long term. Objective: To identify the metabolic control of diabetic patients after ending the educational program DiabetIMSS. Material and methods: Observational, descriptive, transverse, ambispective study in 242 patients selected by nonprobabilistic sampling by quota with a diagnosis of ICD 10 of DM2 with ≥ 1 year of discharge from DiabetIMSS. Statistical analysis with Chi square. Results: Group 1 with ≤ 2 years of discharge and group 2 with > 2 years. Group 1 with metabolic decontrol in 79%, and group 2 with 81%; in both, hyperglycemia predominated with 64% and 57% and normal BP with 82.8% and 88.1% respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 65.7% and 70.6% in both cases. Obesity it's related to dyslipidemia (74.4%), HTA (54.4%) and glycemic uncontrol (69.1%). Conclusion: Poor metabolic control was found in diabetic patients after ending DiabetIMSS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMEN Introducción: La prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta es considerada la prueba de oro para la medición de la producción de insulina endógena en pacientes con diabetes tipo 1. Objetivo: Determinar la utilidad de la prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta con Nutrial I para evaluar la función de las células β en diabéticos tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente y la relación de esa función con algunas características clínicas y bioquímicas. Métodos: Se estudiaron variables bioquímicas como la glucemia, hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), péptido C y fracciones lipídicas. La prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta con Nutrial I se aplicó a 18 sujetos con diabetes tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente y a 8 voluntarios con edades comprendidas entre 19 y 35 años. El consumo del suplemento Nutrial I se calculó según el peso del paciente. Se obtuvieron muestras para glucemia y péptido C a los -10, 0, 30, 60, 90 y 120 minutos. Resultados: Se observaron concentraciones elevadas de glucemia y disminuidas de péptido C durante la prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta en los diabéticos tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente, en comparación con los voluntarios, así como, diferencias en las áreas bajo la curva de péptido C (AUC-pc) (p= 0,001). En los diabéticos tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente se evidenció una correlación negativa entre el AUC-pc con los niveles de glucemia en ayunas (r= -0,747; p ( 0,0001) y la HbA1c (r= -0,535; p= 0,022). Por el contrario, se encontró una correlación positiva entre el AUC-pc y el péptido C en ayunas (r= 0,722; p= 0,001). El AUC-pc después de la prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta es mayor en los sujetos con glucemia en ayunas si GA < 7 mmol/L con respecto a los sujetos con glucemia en ayunas ( 7 mmol/L (p= 0,012). Conclusiones: El empleo del Nutrial I en la prueba de tolerancia de comida mixta fue útil en la evaluación de la función de las células β en diabéticos tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente. Los valores bajos de glucemia en ayunas durante esta prueba son marcadores indirectos de una función residual de células ( más conservada en los diabéticos tipo 1 de diagnóstico reciente.

Introducción: El Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad durante los últimos años ha sido postulado como tratamiento no farmacológico para enfermedades como la diabetes tipo II en diferentes poblaciones, sin embargo, son pocos los estudios que se han realizado en adultos mayores. Objetivo: Determinar el efecto agudo de una sesión de Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad sobre los niveles de glucosa en adultos mayores físicamente activos. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio experimental. La muestra estuvo conformada por 19 adultos mayores (60-85 años). El grupo fue sometido a una sesión de Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad, en la que se combinaron ejercicios de fuerza con resistencia cardiovascular, y se realizaron 12 ejercicios con duración de 30 segundos de trabajo por 10 de descanso. La intensidad de la sesión fue controlada a través de la Escala de Percepción del Esfuerzo OMNI-GSE. Se midió la talla (cm), el peso (kg) e índice de masa corporal. Los niveles de glucosa en sangre fueron determinados antes y después de la sesión. Resultados: Se obtuvo una disminución significativa en los niveles de glucosa en sangre posterior a la realización de la sesión de Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad (pre: 140,5 mg/dL y post: 116,1 mg/dL; p < 0,01) Conclusiones: El Entrenamiento Interválico de Alta Intensidad reduce en una sola sesión los niveles de glucosa en sangre en adultos mayores.

Introducción: La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una emergencia mundial debido a su alta prevalencia, altos costos financieros y sociales para su control y tratamiento. Objetivo: Revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la relación que existe entre el Apoyo Social y El Control Glucémico en pacientes adultos con Diabetes Tipo 2. Metodología: La búsqueda de la literatura se realizó en idioma inglés y español, en las bases de datos Google Académico, EBSCO Academic Research Complete, PubMed y Springer. La lectura crítica de los estudios, se realizó a través de la guía para estudios de prevalencia de Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal. La síntesis de la literatura se realizó de acuerdo al modelo propuesto por Ferreira, Urrutia y Alonso en 2011. Resultados: La revisión incluyó 12 estudios de correlación, de los cuales 9 mostraron relación del Apoyo Social con el control glucémico. Así mismo se identificó que el Apoyo Social es un factor para el control glucémico cuya estructura principal es la familia y el cónyuge. Conclusiones: Según la evidencia disponible el apoyo social es un factor protector frente a los eventos estresantes para el paciente, resulta necesario considerar el apoyo social en las consultas de control y que este, forme parte de las terapias educativas dedicadas a mejorar el control glucémico de los pacientes con DT2.
