“…According to the current study, the prevalence of depression is 30.83% of individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus. The current study's findings were consistent with a crosssectional investigation conducted in Egypt (33.3%) and Bahrain (35%), respectively (13,14). The prevalence reported in this study was also higher than that reported by Engidaw et al (11) and Waitzfelder et al (7) in their study from Ethiopia and USA, respectively.…”

BackgroundSuicidal thoughts and depression are associated with patients with diabetes, especially patients with low socioeconomic backgrounds and prolonged illness.ObjectiveWe aimed to estimate suicidal thoughts and depression among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the slums of Karachi.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted across 38 locations in the slums of Karachi to understand depression, suicidal thoughts, and other supporting factors of depression associated with T2D. The three-item Oslo Social Support Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale, and the Ask Suicide Screening Questions were used to screen the patients.ResultsA total of 504 study participants were interviewed, with a response rate of 98%. The prevalence of depression among patients with diabetes was 30.83%, and suicidal ideation was 20.39%. In the final multivariate analysis, being socioeconomically poor, physically disabled, and having poor social support were independent predictors of depression.ConclusionDiabetes, low socioeconomic level, a lack of social support, and physical disability were all linked to depression. Therefore, trained health providers should conduct an early depression-focused routine screening for patients with diabetes.

“…In the present study, participants who had tested negative for COVID-19 were more willing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. This is consistent with a previous study (32). On the other hand, in the present study, getting COVID-19 infection was not significantly associated with acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination, while those with relatives infected with COVID-19 were more willing to get the vaccine.…”

Background: We tried to understand whether or not there is a relationship between smoking and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Current regular smokers for the last six months and age and sex-matched non-smokers were included. Patients with current alcohol consumption (one drink a day) and patients with malignancies or inflammatory, infectious, or devastating disorders were excluded. Results: The study included 247 smokers and 167 non-smokers. The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of smokers were 46.2 years and 26.6 kg/m2, respectively, and 70.0% of them were male. Although the mean weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and hematocrit values were similar in both groups, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and DM were lower in the smokers (102.3 versus 111.6 mg/dL, p=0.007 and 8.9% versus 14.3%, p<0.05, respectively). Similarly, high density lipoproteins (HDL) were lower in the smokers, again (40.9 versus 44.0 mg/dL, p<0.05). On the other hand, triglycerides (163.1 versus 151.3 mg/dL, p<0.05) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) (123.8 versus 117.5 mg/dL, p<0.05) were higher in the smokers. Parallel to triglycerides and LDL, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (10.6 versus 9.3 mm/h, p<0.05) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (2.3 versus 2.0 mg/L, p<0.05) were also higher in them. Conclusion: Smoking-induced low-grade inflammation on vascular endothelium in whole body may terminate with the endothelial dysfunction, accelerated atherosclerosis, end-organ insufficiencies, early aging, and premature death. FPG and HDL may be negative whereas triglycerides, LDL, ESR, and CRP positive acute phase reactants terminating with lower prevalence of DM but higher incidence of dyslipidemia in smokers. Key words: Smoking, fasting plasma glucose, diabetes mellitus, high density lipoproteins, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins, dyslipidemia

“…Other factors affecting patients' health literacy included exercising, duration of hypertension and family history of hypertension. Many studies showed that there is association between bad lifestyle, low level of health literacy and low control of hypertension [25,[30][31][32][33]. Low level of health literacy means that patients didn't comprehend the needed information regarding the importance and how to control the disease, as exercising.…”

“…Four cross-sectional studies with control showed that the prevalence of depression was almost double in the diabetic cases than their control. (24,26,28,31) Two studies from Egypt showed a statistically significant association between depression and poorly controlled diabetes, female gender, longer duration of diabetes, insulin users, and those with diabetic complications (32,33). Among 4 Saudi studies, two studies showed a significant association between depression and poorly controlled diabetes (23,34) and the other two showed higher depression rates significantly associated with diabetic complications (31,35).…”

Background: Despite the continuous efforts aimed at prevention in the studied primary health care centers, there was a notable increase in amputation rate, which has a significant negative impact on survival of diabetic patients. Sufficient awareness of diabetic patients about foot care as well as its proper practice, is essential in preventing diabetic foot problems and amputation. Objectives: To assess the knowledge and practice of foot care among diabetic patients attending primary healthcare centers. Patients and methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Taif city, among adult diabetic patients attending the primary health care centers, belonging to the Ministry of Health during the proposed study period from February to May 2022. An Arabic self-administered questionnaire including four sections (sociodemographic factors, patients’ knowledge about self-care of diabetic foot, patients’ practices regarding self-care of diabetic foot and the barriers for not routinely checking for diabetic neuropathy at diabetic foot clinic) was utilized for data collection Results: A total of 385 diabetic patients were included in the study. Their ages ranged between 14 and 75 years with an arithmetic mean of 40.6 and standard deviation of 13.2 years. Females represented 60.5% of them. Almost two-thirds of the participants (64.4%) were type 2 diabetic patients. Almost one quarter of diabetic patients (26.4%) expressed a good level of knowledge regarding foot care; particularly older patients (p=0.033), those living in urban areas (p=0.002), the employed (p=0.007), type 2 diabetics (p=0.029) and patients who obtained their information about foot care from internet/social media or health staff (p=0.004). Good foot care-related practice was reported among 42.1% of the diabetic patients; particularly Saudi patients (p=0.029), higher educated (p=0.016), employed (p=0.032), those with higher family income (p=0.048) and those who had their information about foot care from health staff (p<0.001). Conclusion: A relative suboptimal level of both knowledge and practice related to foot care was observed. Educational programs including practical sessions, preferably through using videos regarding the best practice of foot care are highly recommended for diabetic patients.
