Importance of Screening for Wellbeing in Diabetes Management

 Abstract

Diabetes (Type 1 and 2) is a chronic metabolic disorder impacting both the mind and the body of the individual. The impact on the mind includes emotional, social, cognitive and psychosocial wellbeing of the individual. Thus, diabetes management must not only focus on the impact of the disease on the body but also understand its cognitive, psychological and lifestyle implications.

Given the negative impact of the stress on both the mind and the body, stress screening and management must be incorporated in diabetes management. This review explores stress, its impact on physical and psychological wellbeing in the context of diabetes management. Evidence is presented on the challenges related to measurement of stress and its negative impact on the wellbeing of the individual. Based on the comparison (complexity, scalability, etc.) between measurement of stress and wellbeing, the review highlights the importance of screening for wellbeing using simple psychological wellbeing measurement tool (WHO-5) and its usefulness in providing the framework for assessment of conditions such as stress, depression, etc..

  CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL JUNIPER PUBLISHERS     Authored by Mario A Pitalua Rodriguez  Abstract Background and Objective: Visualization enables researchers to view variable diffusion spatially to pinpoint geographic areas of interest for further investigation, particularly with big or large amounts of data. Without the ability to visualize large amounts of data concerning diseases, such as CVD, important relationships may be missed that could have the potential of affecting public health policy and practice. Material and Methods: A subset of 60 variables previously reported as related to CVD is utilized for the at-risk population of CVD at the county level in the United States. CVD indicators across a geographical space (i.e., an Interstate highway in this study) expose differing levels of factors through areas of small and large populations. Results: The visual representation simplifies and summarizes the data allowing identification

Naturceuticals: A New Hope for Treatment of Diabetic Complications-Juniper Publishers

  CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL JUNIPER PUBLISHERS   Authored by Farid A Badria  Introduction Diabetes mellitus is collection of metabolic disorders characterized by high serum glucose level in the body that is due to low insulin secretion or due to cellular unresponsiveness toward produced insulin. This high level of glucose produces the conventional symptoms of polyphagia, polydipsiaand polyuria [ 1 ]. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause diverse complications, diabetic ketoacidosis and non ketotic hyperosmolar coma fall under acute complications [ 2 ] while chronic complications comprise multiple tissue damage that results in stroke, cardiovascular disease, foot ulcers, renal failure and eye damage [ 3 ]. The general features of hyperglycemia-induced tissue damage are shown schematically. The DCCT (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial) and the UKPDS (U.K. Prospective Diabetes Study) established that hyperglycemia (far left of the figure) cause

Fibrinolytic, Platelets and Endothelial Microparticles Abnormalities among Obese Type 2 Diabetic Patients--Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS- OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DIABETES & OBESITY Abstract Background: The prevalence of cardiovascular disorders is progressively increased among type diabetic (T2DM) patients. While, the influence of association between obesity and T2DM on the level of platelets and endothelial microparticles remain to be fully elucidated. Objective: The aim of this was to measure the abnormalities of Fibrinolytic parameters, fibrinogen, platelets and endothelial microparticles among obese T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: Fifty non-smokers obese type 2 diabetic patients were included in this study. The mean age was47.13±5.42 year and mean body mass index was 33.34±4.11 kg/m2 refers as the first group (A). Initially, a physician at King Abdulaziz University Hospital examined all participants; their medical history was taken to collect information about general condition, physical activity and current medications if any. All subjects with any c
