Background and Objectives: There is a paucity of literature on the dietary attitude (DA) of patients with type 2 diabetes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Although the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is high in Gulf countries, there remains a lack of understanding of the importance of dietary behavior in diabetes management among patients. Understanding the behavior of patients with diabetes towards the disease requires knowledge of their DA. Therefore, this study aimed to assess and evaluate the DA of type 2 diabetes patients, and it is the first of its kind in the KSA. Material and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 patients with type 2 diabetes. A self-administered DA questionnaire was used to collect the data. Psychometric properties of the questionnaire were assessed by face validity, content validity, exploratory factor analysis, and internal consistency reliability. The data were collected using a systematic random sampling technique. Results: The overall DA of the patients was inappropriate (p = 0.014). Patients had an inappropriate DA towards food selection (p = 0.003), healthy choices (p = 0.005), food restraint (p < 0.001), health impact (p < 0.001), and food categorization (p = 0.033). A poor DA was also observed in relation to the consumption of red meat (p <0.001), rice (p < 0.001), soup and sauces (p = 0.040), dairy products (p = 0.015), and junk food (p < 0.001). Conclusions: It is highly recommended that patients with diabetes receive counseling with an empowerment approach, as this can bring about changes in their dietary behavior, which is deeply rooted in their daily routine. Healthcare providers should also be well-informed about patients’ attitudes and beliefs towards diabetes to design tailored educational and salutary programs for this specific community. Diabetes self-management educational programs should also be provided on a regular basis with a special emphasis on diet and its related components.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health-care burden worldwide. AIM: The aim of the study was to explore how the quality of life (QoL) of DM patients could be affected in the Aseer Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). METHODS: A cross-sectional, multicenter study in DM patients of both sexes and all age groups in Aseer Province were done using a validated self-administered questionnaire. The study was conducted between April 1, 2018 and November 25, 2018. RESULTS: A total of 418 patients completed our questionnaire, of which 240 (58%) were male and 178 (42%) were female. Furthermore, 50.23% were married and 104 (24.16%) were illiterate. We found that 403 (96.42%) respondents had type-2 DM and 315 (75.35%) had a family history of DM. In addition, 132 (31.57%) respondents were on monotherapy whereas only 61 (14.59%) were using combination therapy. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity (166, 39.71%) and peripheral neuropathy the most prevalent complication of DM (157, 37.56%). CONCLUSION: DM had a significant impact on QoL among patients from Aseer Province in KSA. Our study underscores the importance of generating data on QoL among DM patients.

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is becoming increasingly prevalent in patients with diabetes mellitus in the Middle East. We examined the relationship of these bacteria and their resistance mechanisms to the diabetic disease status of patients in Saudi Arabia. Susceptibilities of 271 isolates to carbapenems, tigecycline and colistin were determined, followed by detection of carbapenemase genes. A bla VIM gene was detected in ~95 % of isolates; bla OXA-23 and bla OXA-40 genes were also prevalent. Diabetic patients were significantly more likely to carry carbapenem-resistant isolates. Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii is a serious problem in diabetic patients, and molecular detection of resistance mechanisms in these isolates is required.

ABSTRACT Introduction: According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of people with DM worldwide in 2010 was 285 million. This number increased to 371 million people in 2012 and increased to 387 million people in 2014. This number will continue to increase beyond 600 million people in 2035. The prevalence of DM in Jambi province based on interviews diagnosed by doctors and symptoms by 1.1 percent. According to the United Kingdom Prospective Study (UKPDS) report, the most important chronic complications are cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, retinopathy, and diabetic nephropathy.

Objective: To find out the prevalence of otorhinolaryngological disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus who presented to Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic at Al-Noor specialist hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Materials & Methods: This observational retrospective study was carried out over a period of one year, from July 15, 2004 to July 20, 2005 by the collaboration of ENT Department and Health Research Center of Al-Noor Specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Patients’ information was collected such as the demography, types and durations of diabetes, types of diabetic treatments, and fi nal ENT diagnosis. Subjects’ random blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were collected on the fi rst visit to the ENT-Outpatient Department. Results: One hundred patients met the inclusion criteria; with mean age of 51.5 years (age range 14-86 years). Thirty-nine percent of the patients were at the age of 45-54 years old. Males (52%) slightly out-numbered the females. Majority had diabetes mellitus type 2 and 78% patients had high HbA1c levels indicating poor glycemic controls. The most common ENT disorder was rhinitis (19%), followed by sensorineural hearing loss (12%) and malignant otitis externa (8%). Conclusion: The most common ENT disorder in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 was rhinitis, followed by sensorineural hearing loss. Majority of these patients had poor glycemic control, hence can explain the predominance of certain disorders over others.
