Type II diabetes is predominantly preventable and managing diabetes by using standard protocols and measures such as promoting healthy living, self-care education in patients, regular screening, with the aim of early diagnosis of disease and its treatment is necessary. These modalities can potentially prevent complications and premature death due to diabetes. Therefore, according to increasing prevalence of diabetes in Iran, along with the growth of aging and lifestyle changes towards urbanization and inactivity, it is necessary to plan for the prevention, care and screening of diabetes in rural areas, especially in the cities, which still have a large proportion of unknown patients.

Evaluation Survey

Obesity has been recognized as a worldwide public health problem. It significantly increases the chances of developing several diseases, including Type II diabetes. The roles of insulin and leptin in obesity involve reactions that can be better understood when they are presented step by step. The aim of this work was to design software with data from some of the most recent publications on obesity, especially those concerning the roles of insulin and leptin in this metabolic disturbance. The most notable characteristic of this software is the use of animations representing the cellular response together with the presentation of recently discovered mechanisms on the participation of insulin and leptin in processes leading to obesity. The software was field tested in the Biochemistry of Nutrition web-based course. After using the software and discussing its contents in chatrooms, students were asked to answer an evaluation survey about the whole activity and the usefulness of the software within the learning process. The teaching assistants (TA) evaluated the software as a tool to help in the teaching process. The students' and TAs' satisfaction was very evident and encouraged us to move forward with the software development and to improve the use of this kind of educational tool in biochemistry classes.

The Relationship

Diabetogenic effect of organochlorine, organophosphorus, and copper-containing pesticides and. to a lesser degree, of carbamates, has been established. Diabetes developed in remote periods after exposure to these agents. The relationship between diabetes incidence and the type of pesticide and its concentration used at a certain territory is statistically unreliable, which may be explained by the multifactorial nature of this disease; the correlation is medium-expressed. A greater diabetogenic action was observed for type II diabetes; the ecological risk index, characterizing the tendency to increase of the morbidity, is more informative. The authors explain the diabetogenic effect of pesticides by their general toxic action.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem and its burden is expected to increase in developing countries such as Nigeria. One of the most frequent complications of type II diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, and a major cause of blindness worldwide especially among adults. Objective: To determine the awareness of diabetes – related eye health risks and complications among type II diabetics in Lagos, Nigeria. Method: The study was carried out in Rhowil Medical Centre in Lagos, Nigeria and adopted qualitative methodology. Data was collected via semi-structured interviews. Interviews were carried out on nine type II diabetes patients above the age of eighteen via purposive sampling. The interviews were analyzed based on Kvale’s framework for the qualitative data analysis. Results: Knowledge of diabetes, sources of information, cultural health beliefs and practices, and communication were themes that emerged from the thematic analysis. The data revealed significant gaps in awareness of diabetes-related eye complications amongst type II diabetics. Data showed poor knowledge of diabetes-related eye diseases and of inadequate awareness of the connection between diabetes and ocular complications. Also, education, health literacy and communication barrier problems between health professionals and diabetic patients were also evident. In addition, sources of information on diabetes and eye care, as well as health beliefs influenced awareness. Conclusion: Findings from this study can inform strategic plans of public health authorities in addressing the growing diabetes epidemic by developing effective health education programs with the aim to increase awareness amongst people living with diabetes in the region.

The Relationship

Diabetic nephropathy is accountable for nearly third of the world cases of last step of renal disease; it becomes a major public health problem with social and economic burden. To assess the relationship between Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.  The present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the department of Ophthalmology at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, over a period of 12 months during  March 2018- February’ 2019 and were assess for the relationship between Retinopathy and Nephropathy. All patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients with Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy were included in the study. Majority (64.0%) patients had diabetic nephropathy and 36(36.0%) had not diabetic nephropathy. Almost three fourth (73.4%) patients was found diabetic retinopathy in diabetic retinopathy and 27(54.0%) in without diabetic retinopathy. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two group. This study suggests that Diabetic Nephropathy has a significant association with the presence of Diabetic Retinopathy in persons with Type II DM. Bangladesh Med J. 2019 May; 48 (2): 24-27

Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) was not infectious and prevalence multifactorial to increased on Indonesia. It was the fourth largest in the world of type II DM.People awareness was about type II DM needed to can help prevent the incidence increased incidence and prevalence it. Objective to identify risk factors type II DM associated with outpatients at Panjatan II Public Health Center. Method Cross sectional study was conducted on 82 outpatient of Public Health Panjatan II. We used purposive sampling with spesific clasification criterias. Data collection were characteristic physical test and laboratory test. family history and age were significantly to outpatients with type II DM.
