Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder resulting from either loss of insulin producing cells, insufficient insulin action, or both. Knowledge can play an important role in preventing diabetes mellitus and its complications. There is limited information regarding knowledge and related factors regarding diabetes mellitus among non-diabetic adult community members in the study area. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine knowledge and associated factors towards diabetes mellitus among non-diabetes community members of Gondar city. Methods Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on non-diabetic community members from July 1-29, 2019 in Gondar city. The participants were selected randomly from each households. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. EpiData version 3.1 was used for data entry and SPSS version 20 was used for data processing and analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated for most variables. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the associated factors. A variable was considered significantly associated at p-value<0.05. Result A total of 633 study subjects participated in this study with a mean age of 36.12 (± 12.87) years. Of these study participants, 572 had awareness about diabetes mellitus and 51.4% (95% CI: 47.4%, 55.8%) had good knowledge. Being male [Adjusted odds ratio = 1.62 (95% CI: 1.05, 2.48)], monthly income of 3000-5000 birr [Adjusted odds ratio = 1.88 (95% CI: 1.03, 3.41)], monthly income of �5001 birr [Adjusted odds ratio = 2.37 (95% CI: 1.17, 4.78)], previous training on diabetes mellitus [Adjusted odds ratio = 4.37 (95% CI; 3.04, 7.37)], being grade 9-12 [Adjusted odds ratio = 3.1 (95% CI: 1.09, 8.66)], having college and above

“…Pakistani and Iranian studies reported female participants to be less aware of DM than their male counterparts (16,17). However, in another Pakistani study, female participants scored higher in terms of awareness about DM when compared to males (18). Also, in a Turkish study, male diabetic patients were more likely to be informed than the female patients (15).…”

“…Most of our participants were of Turkish origin and resided in the urban areas, which might have contributed to the indifference. A number of studies are available in the literature that report the rural and low-income populations to be less aware of DM, whereas a higher level of education causes an increase in diabetes knowledge (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). A study from Cameroon demonstrated that educational level had a direct influence on the level of knowledge regarding topics such as risk factors, symptoms, complications, and the management of DM (22).…”

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity (OB) are rising problems globally, and are also rapidly growing health issues in Turkey. The lack of a proper public awareness has worsened the situation, thereby hampering the implementation of preventive measures. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a questionnaire, speci cally designed for measuring the level of awareness of the general Turkish population on DM and OB. Material and Method: The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) questionnaire was modi ed to measure the in uence of knowledge about diet and physical activity on DM and OB among the Turkish population. We investigated the relationship between the level of knowledge of volunteers on DM and OB and other factors, such as age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), education, and having DM or a family history of DM. The results were analyzed appropriately using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple logistic regression model. The present study was observational and designed prospectively. Results: According to the observations, only 30.1% of the total volunteers that took part in the study had an awareness of DM and OB. There was no statistical difference on the level of knowledge about DM and OB between the various gender groups included in the study (p= 0.590). The participants with university level education scored the highest. The mean scores of knowledge on DB and OB were found to be lowest among the people with low SES; however, surprisingly, people with high/very high SES also scored low. Discussion: The results obtained indicated that the level of awareness of DM and OB was moderate and insuf cient. DM and OB were present in approximately 6.5 and 15.2 million people in Turkey, respectively. With a diminished awareness among the Turkish people on DM and OB, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the young population to create awareness on a large scale for the betterment of the future generations.

“…34 However, the authors of the present study perceive that such health awareness and anti-tobacco campaigns should be further reinforced in vulnerable populations such as in individuals who present a family history of smoking and/or DM. According to Masood et al, 35 a deprived socioeconomic status (SES) and poor education are associated with a lower diabetes awareness. Moreover, Park et al 36 recommended that patient education focusing on tobacco cessation positively impacts attitudes towards quitting smoking.…”

Background It is hypothesized that in the long‐term, (a) peri‐implant inflammatory variables (plaque index [PI], bleeding on probing [BOP], probing depth (PD) and crestal bone loss [CBL]) are worse in cigarette‐smokers (CS) and patients with type‐2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than never‐smokers (NS) without T2DM. The aim of the present 7‐year follow‐up clinical observational study was to assess the survival of dental implant in CS and NS with T2DM. Methods Study participants were divided into four groups based on glycemic status and self‐reported cigarette‐smoking habit: a) CS with T2DM; b) CS without T2DM; c) NS with T2DM; and d) NS without T2DM. Demographic information was collected using a questionnaire and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were measured. Peri‐implant PI, BOP, PD, and CBL were measured. Sample‐size was estimated was statistical analysis was done using analysis of variance. P <0.01 was considered significant. Results In total, 101 male patients were included. There was no significant contrast in age among the groups. Every partaker in the study groups had one dental implant placed in posterior maxilla or mandible. The mean HbA1c levels were significantly higher among CS (P <0.01) and NS (P <0.01) with T2DM than individuals without T2DM. Peri‐implant PI (P <0.01), PD (P <0.01), and CBL (P <0.01) were significantly higher among CS and NS with T2DM and CS without T2DM than NS without T2DM. Peri‐implant BOP was significantly higher among CS and NS with T2DM than CS and NS without T2DM (P <0.01). Conclusions Peri‐implant inflammatory variables were worse among CS and NS with T2DM than NS without T2DM. A state of chronic hyperglycemia seems to be a stronger mediator of inflammation than cigarette smoking in patients with T2DM.
