“…Patients were instructed to take the study drugs once daily orally and 30 min before food and to follow the diabetic diet (avoiding sweet dishes, 1 cup rice/day, including wheat and ragi daily in diet, 3 major meals converted to 5 minor meals, 50% food, and 50% vegetables). [ 8 ] Patient's compliance was assessed by advising them to return the used tablet strips during follow-up. All the adverse events were assessed in accordance with the WHO causality assessment scale.…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications have been implicated in hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress. Antioxidants can improve glycemic control, lipid profile, and cognitive functions. We assessed the effect of Vitamin E and omega 3 fatty acids (OFA) on the above parameters. One hundred patients with type 2 DM receiving metformin 500 mg and glimepiride 1 mg were randomized to receive add-on therapy of Vitamin E 400 mg or OFA once daily for 12 weeks and the third group served as control. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), lipid profile, and mini-mental state examination were done at baseline and 12 weeks. Eighty-seven patients completed the study. A significant reduction in FBS, PPBS, and HbA1c was observed in all the three groups at 12 weeks. There was significant reduction in total cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) in patients receiving either of the antioxidants and also significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein in patients receiving OFA at 12 weeks compared to baseline. BMI and WHR were significantly increased in control group. Intergroup analysis showed that in patients receiving Vitamin E and OFA, the reduction of FBS, PPBS, and HbA1c were similar. The patients receiving OFA had significant reduction in TG compared to control. There was no significant effect on cognitive function. Vitamin E and OFA had beneficial effects on lipid profile and anthropometric measurements; however, the glycemic control was similar to the patients in control group.

Management of diabetes in police custody: a liaison initiative between a diabetes specialist service and the police force

The management of people with diabetes in police custody has received little attention. Few guidelines are available for police officers to manage people with diabetes who are being detained in custody, despite the risk of metabolic derangement occurring in this situation. The use of drugs and alcohol by the detainee prior to arrest may confuse identification of the symptoms and signs of hyper‐ and hypoglycaemia, and emergency treatment in hospital may be required because of inadequate or inappropriate management while in custody. To evaluate current practice, to identify problem areas and to help implement change, a liaison was established between a specialist diabetes service and the local police force. An experienced diabetes specialist nurse identified problem areas in collaboration with the police custodial team and the forensic nursing service. Input from specialist medical and dietetic staff was sought and issues pertaining to awareness, staff training, equipment and dietary provision were evaluated. This liaison initiative led to the implementation of training for police staff to deal with people with diabetes who require insulin therapy, in blood glucose monitoring and in the management of diabetic emergencies. Equipment for diabetic management in the police station was upgraded, and training provided for its use. Police awareness of the potential problems associated with diabetes was heightened. Audit and further evaluation of these changes are being performed to ensure that these acquired skills and staff competence are maintained. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons.
