Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-communicable endocrine disease that has a considerable impact on both the health and quality of life (QoL) of patients. This study aimed to investigate the sociodemographic factors associated with the quality of life among the Lebanese population with DM. Methods: A cross-sectional study that enrolled 125 diabetic patients aged ≥18, was conducted between January and June of 2021. The validated Arabic version of the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire is utilized by all patients to measure the quality of life (QoL). A logistic regression was then performed. Results: The life domains "freedom to eat" and "freedom to drink", were the most negatively impacted by diabetes. According to the multivariate analysis monthly income OR 3.4, 95 % CIs 1.25 -9.6, P = 0.017, educational level (OR) 0.2, 95 % CIs 0.07 -0.89, HbA1c (OR) 7, 95 % CIs 1.5 -32.35, and FBG [odds ratio (OR) 1.01, 95 % (CIs) 1.004 -1.021, P = 0.005] were independently associated with impaired QOL. Conclusion:The study showed that diabetes generally had a negative impact on QoL. The findings also suggest that certain sociodemographic factors, such as monthly income and educational level along with clinical parameters like HbA1c, might be associated with a lower quality of life among Lebanese diabetic patients.

Objective: Diabetes is a chronic and common global disease that requires particular care behaviors for the rest of life. People with diabetes can be trained to achieve optimal self-care. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of stage-matched educational intervention on behavior change and glycemic control in elderly patients with diabetes. Matherials and methods: In this controlled clinical trial, 110 type 2 elderly patients with diabetes were selected randomly from health centers in Malard city, Iran, and were assigned to the control and experimental group equally. Data collection instruments were: demographics questions, scales to assess transtheoretical model constructs and stage of change, and blood samples for determining FBS and HbA1c. The mentioned variables were measured before, 1, and 3 months after the stage-matched educational intervention. The educational intervention consisted of 2 group intensive training sessions of about 45 minutes and daily messages via mobile phone for 3 months. The educational topics were about healthy diet and caring behaviors. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 and independent & paired t-test, chi-square, one-way ANOVA, and ANCOVA. The significance level was considered less than 0.05. Results: The mean age of study participants was (66.5 ± 3.91) years. Also, the average duration of diabetes was (7.18 ± 4.21) years, and 50% had a Junior high school education. A significant decrease was found in mean FBS (from 187 ± 43.4 to 136.42 ± 36.34, p < 0.05) and HbA1c (from 8.28 ± 1.26 to 7.26 ± ± 1.10, p < 0.05) in the experimental group, and also the mean of self-care behaviors in the experimental group increased significantly from baseline (from 1.51 ± ± 1.71 to 1.45 ± 0.92, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Educational intervention based on the stages-of-change model can improve glycemic control and behaviors related to controlling diabetes, so it is necessary to pay attention to essential psychological variables in designing educational interventions in order to control blood glucose in patients with diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the important causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal failure (ESRF). Even with the best available treatment options, management of T1DM poses significant challenges for clinicians across the world, especially when associated with CKD and ESRF. Substantial increases in morbidity and mortality along with marked rise in treatment costs and marked reduction of quality of life are the usual consequences of onset of CKD and progression to ESRF in patients with T1DM. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPK) is an attractive and promising treatment option for patients with advanced CKD/ESRF and T1DM for potential cure of these diseases and possibly several complications. However, limited availability of the organs for transplantation, the need for long-term immunosuppression to prevent rejection, peri- and post-operative complications of SPK, lack of resources and the expertise for the procedure in many centers, and the cost implications related to the surgery and postoperative care of these patients are major issues faced by clinicians across the globe. This clinical update review compiles the latest evidence and current recommendations of SPK for patients with T1DM and advanced CKD/ESRF to enable clinicians to care for these diseases.
