A mother (Y) aged 55 years, was hospitalized with ‘Status Asthmaticus’, for 4 days in a hospital, with admission through an Emergency Department Service. The case history was ‘Intermittent Asthma’ with corticosteroid inhaler treatment for the past three years and ‘Diabetes Mellitus’ (DM) Type 2, controlled by the treatment of Metformin and Acarbose. The results of the history, physical examination, and laboratory lead to the main diagnosis ‘Status Asthmaticus’. Blood glucose before and when at the hospital was within normal limits (with treatment). Asthma attack was absent during the last 2 years, relapsed 2 years ago because of 'Bronchopneumonia'.

Abstract The aim of this review study was to assess the past significant events on diabetes mellitus, transformations that took place over the years in the medical records of treatment, countries involved, and the researchers who brought about the revolutions. This study used the content analysis to report the existence of diabetes mellitus and the treatments provided by researchers to control it. The focus was mainly on three main types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, and type 3 diabetes). Ethical consideration has also helped to boost diabetic studies globally. The research has a history path from pharmaceuticals of organic-based drugs to metal-based drugs with their nanoparticles in addition to the impacts of nanomedicine, biosensors, and telemedicine. Ongoing and future studies in alternative medicine such as vanadium nanoparticles (metal nanoparticles) are promising.

<p>Diabetes mellitus is a health problem that will affect the health status of patients. Motivational interviewing a counseling technique focusing on clients and it is designed for helping individuals explore and accomplish ambivalence in behavior. This systematic review aimed at describing effectiveness motivationaI interviewing on self-management of diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. There are 1359 articles of 526 ScienceDirect articles, 422 ProQuest, 290 PubMed, and 121 Ebsco articles. The systematic review method began by identifying 20 articles from four electronic databases for previous studies that were published during 2011-2021. The results of the systematic review obtained that motivational interviewing can provide improved self-management and control blood glucose DM type 2 patients. The conclusion motivational interviewing can affect the patient's self-management especially on blood glucose profile, dietary compliance, quality of life, self-efficacy, HbA1c levels of DM type 2 patients.</p>

ABSTRACTBackground Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease which characterized by hyperglycemia due to abnormalities insulin secretions, insulin performance, or both of them. The condition of insulin resistance in DM type 2 causes chronic complications such as diabetic nephropathy. It has become the second leading cause of end-stage kidney disease, and one of the most common and demaging complication of diabetes. The level of creatinine in blood is one of the parameters used to assess renal function, as in the plasma concentration and excretion in the urine within 24 hours. Serum creatinine levels greater than the normal value suggests an impaired renal function. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine serum creatinine levels in patients with DM type 2 in Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. Methods The method uses an analytical study with description, used accidental sampling methods, involving 30 patients with DM type 2. Blood samples were analyzed for creatinine levels and data are presented as table. The reslts  of this study showed that 60% samples had high levels of serum creatinine, 30% samples had normal levels serum creatinine, and 10% samples had low levels serum creatinine. From the result was concluded, most patients with DM type 2 in Sanglah Genaral Hospital have highly serum creatinine levels.                                                        Keywords: creatinine serum, DM type 2

Over the past 20 years a number of simulations or models have been developed as a basis for tracking and evaluating the impact of pharmacological and other interventions in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. These models have typically tracked the natural course of these diseases generating long-term composite claims for cost-effectiveness. These claims can extend over the lifetime of the modeled patient cohort. Set against the standards of normal science, however, these claims lack credibility. The claims presented are all too often either immune to failure or are presented in a form that is non-testable. As such they fail to meet the key experimental requirements of falsification and replication. Unfortunately, there is a continuing belief that long-term or lifetime models are essential to decision-making. This is misplaced. The purpose of this review is to argue that there is a pressing need to reconsider the needs of health system decision makers and focus on modeled or simulated claims that are meaningful, testable, reportable and replicable in evaluating interventions in diabetes mellitus.   Type: Commentary

Hypoglycemic therapy over the past 20 years has expanded considerably with the use of new classes of more effective and safer medicines. Alongside the aging of the general population, the survival of diabetic subjects has significantly increased, thus exposing them to a greater risk of developing co-morbidities. This represents a challenge for the diabetologist, who must acquire ever broader concepts for the management of a complex and multi-organ disease. We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and pulmonary adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe with brain and bone metastases who, subjected to innovative and integrated treatments agreed between specialists of different disciplines, is still alive and free of cancer symptoms 23 months after diagnosis (Diabetology)

Objective: To evaluate the Grand-Aides Program for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) according to the variables of body weight, blood pressure, medication adherence, and hospital consultation and readmissions.Methods: Patients ages 18 years or older with a past medical history of T2DM, hypertension (HTN), and/or obesity and who were recently seen in the emergency department (ED) or recently admitted to the hospital were eligible to enroll in the Grand-Aides Program. Eligible patients were identified after hospital or ED discharge and were asked to enroll in the in-home based program from March 2016 through June 2018. In-home visit protocol was defined prior to patient enrollment with intense in-home visits during the first weeks of enrollment followed by monthly visits for the duration of enrollment in the program. In-home visit frequency was adjusted on as needed basis so that patients at higher risk for ED visits or hospitalization were seen more frequently. In-home visits were performed by trained Grand-Aide who for the purpose of this study was a certified nursing assistant (CNA). The Grand-Aide underwent eighty hours of didactic training which included visit protocols, visit schedules, and data collection. The one-on-one in-home patient with every visit were supervised by a registered nurse (RN) or nurse practitioner (NP) via video or telephone contact near the conclusion of the visit. Active patients at the University of Virginia Family Medicine clinic were eligible for enrollment. Fifty-seven patients with T2DM worked with Grand-Aides for three months and an additional forty-eight T2DM patients worked with Grand-Aides for twelve months. Emergency department visits, all 30-day hospital readmissions, as well as blood pressure readings, medication adherence, weights, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were compared with the prior twelve months.Results: Systolic (p < .001) and diastolic (p < .01) blood pressures decreased (p < .01) at 1 year. At baseline 56 percent of the patients had a systolic blood pressure of >130 mmHg despite treatment; after 12 months, 48 percent of these were < 130. In those whose baseline diastolic blood pressure was > 90 mmHg, 100 percent had diastolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg at 1 year. Medication adherence by ARMS test at 1 year was 94 percent. Despite trending downward, weight and HbA1c did not change significantly. In the preceding, 58 percent had at least one ED visit, which was reduced by 50 percent (p < .01) with Grand-Aides; 30-day all-cause readmissions reduced by 50 percent to 6.3 percent. Conclusions: The Grand-Aides program was associated with a significant change in blood pressure control, high medication adherence and reductions in ED visits and readmissions that compare favorably with published comparative data. For systems “at risk” for preventable increased health care expense burden, the Grand-Aides program can result in significant savings.
