Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major concern for the developed as well as developing countries. It poses with enormous disabilities and economic burden to the victims. The treatment cost of diabetes is increasing day by day. Aim: To ascertain how type 2 diabetes mellitus is incurring economic burden to the patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted during the period from January to June 2010 on 110 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka. The patients were selected conveniently and data were collected by face to face interview with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire. For estimation of economic burden, both direct and indirect treatment costs were calculated. Results: The study revealed that majority (36.4%) of the patients were in the age group of 46-55 years with the mean age of 53.65 (+10.44) years. Majority (60.0%) of them had lower monthly family income (Tk.5, 000-Tk.10, 000) and 36.4% of them lived in urban area. Most of the patients (90.9%) were under treatment with drug, diet control and physical exercise. Regarding sources of fund for treatment, 31.8% patients used their savings while 27.3% took loan, 20% got help from relatives and the remaining 20.9% got donation and sold wealth. Average treatment cost incurred by the patients was estimated to Tk. 5543.35 (+1273.29). Average direct treatment cost was estimated to Tk.2656.88 (+1367.23) of which average drug cost was Tk.653.36 (+476.36), investigation cost was Tk.596.73 (+375.56), travel cost Tk.530.31 (+795.46), attendant cost Tk.865.87 (+734.22) and consultation fee was Tk.244.48 (+167.22). Average indirect cost was calculated to Tk.3081.27 (+1275.91) which was only due to loss of income due to illness. Conclusion: The study findings will enable the health policy makers and health care providers at different levels to provide need based cost-effective health care services to reduce the economic burden of diabetes mellitus patients.

.......A patient who was first diagnosed with a chronic disease often does not fully understand the meaning or significanceof the chronic disease with which his/ her body suffers, against the risk of future complications if the disease is not well-controlled. On the other hand, in this reported case, the patient’s expectation was that her chronic disease, the T2DM, can be cured. Therefore, a shared understanding between health care providers and patient is likely the key to commencing the course of managing any chronic disease in a patient effectively.......

Factors Associated

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases causing many serious complications worldwide. Therapeutic non-compliance leads to treatment failure thus making diabetes a serious problem to both the individuals and the health care providers. There are many factors which influence patient’s compliance. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of therapeutic compliance and factors associated with therapeutic non-compliance.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending the urban health centre, Chidambaram.  Compliance and factors associated with non-compliance were assessed using Morisky Medication adherence questionnaire.Results: 108 diabetic patients were enrolled. The overall compliance rate was found to be 39.8%. A statistically significant association was found between non-compliance and associated chronic diseases (p=0.007), financial problems to buy the medicines (p=0.001), reporting side effects with the prescribed medicines (p=0.049), missed at least one dose in last one week(p=0.01).Conclusions: Majority of the patients were non-compliant. This emphasizes the need of strengthening health system and improving patients knowledge through teaching programs.

The Impact

Abstract Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease closely related to personal life style. Therefore, achieving effective self-management is one of the most important ways to control it. There is evidence that social support can help to improve the self-management ability of patients with T2DM, but which social support is more effective has been rarely explored. The purpose of this study is to construct an integrated model to analyze which social support has more significant impact on self-management of T2DM, and provide reasonable suggestions to health care providers on how to effectively play the role of social support. Methods We established a social support indicator evaluation system and proposed an integrated model that combines ANP (Analytical Network Process) and CRITIC (CRiteria Importance through Intercriteria Correlation) methods to evaluate the impact of social support on T2DM self-management from both subjective and objective perspectives. The weights calculated by the model will serve as the basis for us to judge the importance of different social support indicators. Results Informational support (weighting 49.26%) is the most important criteria, followed by tangible support (weighting 39.24%) and emotional support (weighting 11.51%). Among 11 sub-criteria, guidance (weighting 23.05%) and feedback (weighting 14.68%) are two most relevant with T2DM self-management. This result provides ideas and evidence for health care providers on how to offer more effective social support. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study in which Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tools, specifically ANP and CRITIC, are used to evaluate the impact of social support on improving self-management of type 2 diabetes. The study suggests that incorporating two sub-indicators of guidance and feedback into the diabetes care programs may have great potential to improve T2DM self-management and further control patient blood glucose and reduce complications.

Abstract Background Women developing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are subsequently at a higher risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes later in life. Screening and effective management of women with GDM are essential in preventing progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus. We aimed to explore the perspectives of healthcare providers regarding the barriers from the health system context that restrict the timely screening and effective management of GDM. Methods We conducted six in-depth interviews of health care providers- four with nurses and two with obstetricians in the public hospitals in India’s major city (Bengaluru). The interviews were conducted in the preferred language of the participants (Kannada for nurses, English for the obstetricians) and audio-recorded. All Kannada interviews were transcribed and translated into English for analysis. The primary data were analyzed using the grounded theory approach by NVivo 12 plus. The findings are put into perspective using the socio-ecological model. Results Health care providers identified delayed visits to public hospitals and stress on household-level responsibilities as barriers at the individual level for GDM screening. Also, migration of pregnant women to their natal homes during first pregnancy is a cultural barrier in addition to health system barriers such as unmet nurse training needs, long waiting hours, uneven power dynamics, lack of follow-up, resource scarcity, and lack of supportive oversight. The barriers for GDM management included non-reporting women to follow - up visits, irregular self-monitoring of drug and blood sugar, trained staff shortage, ineffective tracking, and lack of standardized protocol. Conclusion There is a pressing need to develop and improve existing GDM Screening and Management services to tackle the growing burden of GDM in public hospitals of India.

The sexual problem became a sensitive issue and embarrassed among patients, especially among those who are living with diabetes. The study aimed to dig up deeply the experience of male patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 who underwent sexual dysfunction. The qualitative study with phenomenology approach was applied in this study. We collected the data by using an interview method. Fifteen samples were recruited using the purposive sampling technique and selected from Endocrine Polyclinic Martha Friska Hospital. The interview transcriptions were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis approach. Four themes related to the patients’ experience on sexual dysfunction have been analyzed in this study including 1) feeling that the sexual libido was high in the midst of the limitation of sexual dysfunction, 2) inferior feelings toward mates, 3) attempting to adapt to sexual changes, 4) trying to solve sexual problems in different ways. The participant had bad experience wich influence their quality of life with their partner. We suggested to the health care providers, including doctors, nurses, etc. to design the cultural program for addressing the sexual problem and completed the facilities for sexual favors. Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, Experience, sexual dysfunction
