The considerable volume of literature dealing with the normal range of blood-sugar values in ruminants and with the effect of varying nutritive conditions upon it is reviewed in some detail. Attention is drawn to differences between ruminant and non-ruminant mammals, and an attempt is made to explain them in the light of present knowledge of digestive processes in the ruminant. Data are presented on the normal range of blood-sugar values in sheep, both in Australia and in England, and on the effect of nutritive factors and of pregnancy on these values. The mean blood-sugar values determined by the author in non-pregnant ewes in Australia and in England were 34.8 ± 3.06 and 39.1 ± 3.37 mg. per cent. respectively. The observed range in both pregnant and non-pregnant ewes was 18-57 mg. per cent., but 94 per cent. of values fell between 25 and 46 mg. per cent. This range was obtained in sheep bled usually in the morning, before feeding. A delayed rise, which is slight and always below hyperglycaemic levels, was observed after feeding; the afternoon samples showed higher values than the morning samples. Thus, the normal range of blood-sugar values in fed sheep, at any time of day, is considered to be 25-50 mg. per cent. The level of blood sugar was affected neither by the plane of nutrition nor by the bodily condition of non-pregnant ewes. Gestation in ewes in good condition was observed not to affect the level, although evidence was obtained of lowered blood-sugar levels during the last two months of gestation in ewes in poor condition. Expressed as a percentage of the pre-fasting level, the decrease in blood sugar observed during a four-day fast was similar to that observed in non-ruminants, but the response was delayed. Fasting for a period of 24 hours had little effect on the blood-sugar level in non-pregnant sheep in good condition; in many cases there was little change after the period had been extended to 46 hours. On the other hand, a fast of 24 hours' duration produced a marked hypoglycaemia in ewes in poor bodily condition during the last two months of gestation, blood-sugar levels as low as 8.6 mg. per cent. being recorded.

Background: The incidence of diabetes mellitus has significantly increased in the last two decades. Gestational diabetes mellitus, GDM, is a complication that affects both pregnant women and newborn babies. Pregnant women that are diagnosed with GDM are 7 times more likely to be diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus. In addition, infants born by GDM mothers are at higher risk of developing diabetes mellitus in the future. Objective: The study aims to review the literature on the diet control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Results: Controlling blood sugar within the normal range during pregnancy can decrease negative pregnancy outcomes. However, most pregnant women with GDM cannot control their blood sugar within the normal range because of a lack of knowledge and skill in selecting appropriate foods. They also often experience inconsistency in their diet control behavior Most pregnant women worry about gaining too much weight, and most pregnant women with GDM have to learn how to choose their food properly in terms of both nutrients and quantity in order to control their blood sugar levels within the normal range. Conclusion: Diet control during pregnancy is one way to prevent the negative consequences of GDM for both mothers and infants. The food proportion for pregnant women with gestational diabetes is CHO: PRO: FAT = 50: 20:30 and also to consume an appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals and water each day.

BACKGROUND: The increasing of diabetes mellitus cases in Indonesia may be due to changes in people’s lifestyles, which is lack of exercise. Factors that may contribute to the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus sufferers other than genetics are exacerbated by environmental factors. Exercise interventions have been effective in counterbalancing diabetes complications. Yoga exerts a beneficial effect on insulin kinetics and the resulting lipid profile. Yoga helps redistribute body fat and reduces obesity which may lead to insulin resistance. In addition, other types of physical activity that can be done by diabetes mellitus patients are adequate morning walking while having scenery leisure for 30 min or more. AIM: This study was conducted to determine the effect of yoga therapy and walking therapy on diabetes mellitus patients in the community. METHODS: Quantitative research using randomized control trial, conducted in Gedongan Village, Baki Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency, involving 54 samples divided into three groups. Inclusion criteria: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, fasting glucose levels of 126 mg/dl, no complication, and no insulin therapy or diabetes medication. The outcome measured was fasting blood sugar levels. The intervention group performed therapy for 12 weeks with a duration of 3 times a week. RESULTS: The average fasting sugar levels in the yoga group pre (217.00) post (187.72) p (0.001), the walking group averaged pre (209.89) post (193.83) p (0.001), and the control group averaged pre (221.50) post (225.17) p (0.067). CONCLUSION: There was an effect of yoga therapy and walking therapy on reducing fasting glucose levels.

A 13-year-old adolescent boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus (1b) presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and cerebral edema. Grossly lipemic serum and lipemia retinals due to extremely high triglyceride (TG) level were observed without evidence of xanthoma or xanthelasma. Cerebral edema was treated by appropriate ventilation and mannitol administration. Normal saline was carefully given and regular insulin was titrated according to blood sugar levels. Triglyceride levels were reduced from 9,800 mg/dL to normal range within 9 days after conventional treatment was commenced without antilipid medication. Based on our review of the literature, this is the first reported case of confirmed pediatric DKA with severe hypertriglyceridemia and cerebral edema. In patients with DKA and hypertriglyceridemia, clinicians should be mindful of the possibility of associated acute pancreatitis and cerebral edema.

Abstract Background and Aims Co-existence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and kidney disease is common. In-patient hypo- and hyperglycaemia are associated with adverse outcomes and, for hypoglycaemia, an increased length of inpatient stay (LOS). NICE and the National Patient Safety Agency recommend in-patients with DM previously established on insulin be allowed to self-prescribe to reduce hypo and hyperglycaemia. It is unclear how this occurs in clinical practice in patients under nephrology care. We sought to describe glycaemic control and diabetes management in patients admitted to our nephrology service. Method All patients admitted to the Glasgow Renal and Transplant Unit between June and August 2020 were identified. In those with a previous diagnosis of DM, demographic data were collected including reason for admission and use of insulin. Self-prescription of insulin, blood sugar levels and episodes of hypo (BM <4mmol/L) and hyperglycaemia (BM >14mmol/L) were identified. Analysis was undertaken in SPSS v 27.0.1.0. Results One hundred and sixty-seven patients with a diagnosis of DM were admitted over the three month period. The remaining results refer only to the 90(54%) patients established on insulin before the index admission. Mean age was 58±7.1 years, 56% (n=50) were male and 77% (n=69) self-prescribed insulin throughout admission. Table 1 shows type of DM and regular insulin regimen. Mean HbA1C pre-admission was 68±6.4mmol/mol. Fifty-one (57%) patients were on dialysis and 12 (13%) had a functioning transplant. Reasons for admission included infection (n=21), to undergo a procedure eg arteriovenous fistula creation (n=21), AKI (n=10) and fluid overload (n=8). These 90 patients accounted for 113 admissions with a median LOS of 5 (2-9) days. In 46 (41%) admissions, there was at least one episode of hypoglycaemia and in 95 (84%) at least one episode of hyperglycaemia. During 12 (13%) admissions, there were neither hypo nor hyperglycaemic episodes. Insulin self-prescribers were younger (56±12.7 ‘v’ 60±9.7 years, p=0.04) and more likely to experience hypoglycaemia than those who did not self-prescribe (p=0.03). There was no significant increase in hyperglycaemia nor in median LOS between the groups. Episodes of hypoglycaemia were more likely with a lower mean fasting blood sugar (fbs), regardless of self-prescription of insulin (11±3.8 ‘v’ 13±5.1mmol/L, p=0.02) Conclusion Most patients with DM admitted under the care of nephrology, self-prescribe insulin. These patients are more likely to have an episode of hypoglycaemia and hypoglycaemia is more likely to occur if the fbs is <13mmol/L. It is unclear how our experience differs from that of other specialties. However, reducing renal function, eg in the setting of dialysis or AKI, and uncertainties regarding the carbohydrate content of hospital food may play a role in predisposing to hypoglycaemia. In order to facilitate safe management of DM in the inpatient nephrology wards, whilst preserving patients’ autonomy, attention should be paid to the fbs level and self-prescription of insulin should be permitted within a narrow range of the patients’ regular dosing regimen.

High blood glucose levels during pregnancy can lead to unfavorable outcomes in the mother, fetus, and neonatal state. This review focused on the latest guidelines on diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of gestational diabetes mellites. This narrative review was conducted by searching through several online databases including PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase for relevant articles using keywords such as "Gestational Diabetes", "Diabetes Mellitus", "Pregnancy", and "guideline" with no date limitations. Based on the literature review, proper treatment of diabetes during pregnancy results in a normal pregnancy, labor, postpartum state. The key to a normal pregnancy is to control and keep your blood sugar levels within the recommended range by various guidelines, which were the discussion subjects of this narrative review in detail. In addition to maintaining normal blood sugar levels before or during pregnancy, there should be a balance between diet, exercise, and insulin intake if indicated for treatment. Gestational diabetes control program needs close monitoring and appraisal with progression in the pregnancy. As a result, recognizing the burden of gestational diabetes is decisive for timely diagnosis and further evaluations by healthcare policymakers. Overall, multiple updates on the guidelines of gestational diabetes management are annually published, and a comparison of these guidelines could inform clinicians to update their approach.
