Over the last few years, the question, “can type 2 diabetes be reversed?” came to the surface after several observations of partial or complete remission from the disease were seen in response to surgical and non-surgical interventions for weight management. This leads us to propose an alternative model for type 2 diabetes management by targeting body weight instead of our current classic model of targeting blood glucose levels by anti-hyperglycemic medications. The proposed alternative model may be successful in the early stages of type 2 diabetes as we currently have several effective tools. Untimely, this model of intervention may reduce cost and improve patients’ quality of life.

Prediabetes is defined as a state of abnormal glucose homeostasis where blood glucose levels are elevated above those considered normal, but not as high as those required for a diagnosis of diabetes. Prediabetes is associated with high risks of developing serious diseases and poor quality of life of the patient. Globally, there are about 352.1 million people with prediabetes. By 2045, the number of able-bodied patients with a similar diagnosis is expected to double to 587 million. In this connection, timely diagnosis and identification of risk groups for the correction of carbohydrate metabolism is of great importance. The article provides data from numerous studies, a description of tactics and methods of treatment for patients with prediabetes.

Abstract Background: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have been used to manage diabetes with reasonable glucose control among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in recent decades. CGM systems measure interstitial fluid glucose levels to provide information about glucose levels, which identifies fluctuation that would not have been identified with conventional self-monitoring. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a classical tool to achieve glycaemic control. However, the effectiveness of glucose control, costs, and quality of life are needed to evaluate and compare CGM and SMBG among adults with T2D.Methods: The review will compare the various forms of CGM systems (i.e flash-CGM, real-time-CGM, retrospective-CGM) versus SMBG/usual intervention regarding diabetes management among adults with T2D. The following databases will be searched: Cochrane Library, Science Direct, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and grey literature for the identification of studies. The studies involving adults (aged ≥ 18 years old) will be included. We will include and summararize randomised clinical trials (RCTs) with respect to authors, publication type, year, status, and type of devices. Studies published in English between February 2010 and March 2020 will be included as the field of CGMs among T2D patients has emerged over the last decade. Primary outcomes that will be measured will be; HbA1c, body weight, time spent with hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia, blood pressure, quality of life. Secondary outcome measured will be morbidity, all-cause mortality, user satisfaction, and barriers. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment will be conducted independently by at least two authors. A third author will determine and resolve discrepancies. Moreover, the quality of the evidence of the review will be assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Tool (GRADE).Discussion: The systematic review will synthesise evidence on the comparison between using CGMs and SMBG. The results will support researchers and health care professionals to determine the most effective methods/technologies in the overall diabetes management. Moreover, this review will provide more detailed information about the barriers of using CGMs to improve implementation.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42020149212

ABSTRACTDiabetes mellitus is an abnormality of insulin secretion, insulin action, or both of which are marked by an increase in blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia. Various problems caused by diabetes mellitus often make individuals experience excessive anxiety, this can affect the quality of life.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of social and family support on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the working area of Mangasa Health Center in Makassar City. The research method uses descriptive analytic with cross sectiona technique approach. The results of the study using unpaired t test showed that there is a social influence sampling on quality of life (p = 0.02), and there is a family influence on quality of life (p = 0.01). The conclusion from the results of the study is that there is an influence of social and family support on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Keywords : Diabetes mellitus, social and family support, quality of life ABSTRAK Diabetes mellitus merupakan kelainan sekresi insulin, kerja insulin, atau keduanya yang ditandai dengan kenaikan kadar glukosa darah atau hiperglikemia.

Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine the associations between patient dissatisfaction and diabetes outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Primary data from 615 adults with type 2 diabetes from 2 adult primary care clinics completed validated questionnaires. Patient dissatisfaction was measured by asking participants to what degree over the past 12 months were they very dissatisfied with the care they received from their primary care provider. Diabetes outcomes included self-care behaviors, quality of life, and A1C. A1C was abstracted from the medical record. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess associations between patient dissatisfaction, self-care, blood glucose, and quality of life. Results After adjusting for covariates, this study demonstrated that higher patient dissatisfaction was significantly associated with poor general diet, worse blood glucose levels, and lower mental component score for quality of life. Conclusions In patients with type 2 diabetes, patient dissatisfaction had a significant association with higher blood glucose levels, poor general diet, and low quality of life. Demographic factors driving patient dissatisfaction included young age, low income, and low health literacy. Future studies should investigate how to address patient satisfaction in an effort to improve health outcomes.

Abstract Background Ethnobotany knowledge in a community has shaped local wisdom in utilizing plants to treat diseases, such as the use of Malaka (Phyllanthus emblica) flesh to treat type 2 diabetes. This study presented evidence that the phenolic extract of the Malaka flesh could reduce blood sugar levels in the diabetic induced rats. Methods The phenolic extract of the P. emblica was administrated to the glucose-induced rats of the Wistar strain Rattus norvegicus for 14 days of treatment where the Metformin was used as a positive control. The data generated were analyzed by the two-way ANOVA Software related to the blood glucose level and by SAS Software related to the histopathological studies at a significant 95% confidence. Results The phenolic extract with concentrations of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight could reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. The post hoc Dunnet test showed that the administration of the extract to the rats with a concentration of 100 mg/kg body weight demonstrated a very significant decrease in blood glucose levels and repaired damaged cells better than administering the extract at a concentration of 200 mg/kg weight body. Conclusion The evidence indicated that the phenolic extract of the Malaka flesh can be utilized as anti type 2 Diabetes mellitus without damaging other organs.
