“…Thus, healthy behaviours may indirectly link Type A with low inflammation. The present results showed a moderate, but relevant, negative relationship between Type A personality and BMI, which is in agreement with recent research demonstrating an association between conscientiousness and lower BMI in people with type 2 diabetes [30]. It is also worth mentioning that minor weight loss has been shown to dramatically reduce systemic inflammation.…”

“…This is quite expected since smoking reflects a risky health behavior. A similar negative effect of smoking on self-care behaviors among type-2 DM patients was reported from a study in Australia (Skinner et al, 2014). Moreover, the current study multiple regression analysis confirmed the independent positive effect of regular checking of blood glucose on patients' practice of foot self-care.…”

Abstract:Background: Foot health problems are common in the elderly due to pathological changes in their feet. The aim of this study was to identify diabetic foot risk factors among the elderly at Zagazig City Subjects and methods; Analytic cross sectional study design was utilized. The study was conducted at Zagazig health insurance clinic for the elderly diabetic patients with purposive sample composed of (280) of the elderly diabetic patients. Tools, tool I, Interview questionnaire sheet composed of four parts (socio demographic characteristics, medical past &present history of diabetes, assessing patient foot care practice and assessment of risk factors of diabetic foot) and tool II, physical assessment of diabetic foot condition. Results it revealed that approximately one-half of the patients were 60-65 years old, only more than the third of studied patients had adequate foot care practice; the foot inspection revealed that the majority of them had abnormal foot and statistically significant relations between patients practice and their level of education, job type and income. The foot inspection revealed that the patients had no infection, no ulcer and no low blood flow had a higher percentage of normal examination. Conclusion The study found several factors associated with higher incidence of diabetic foot among the elderly diabetic patients including: low educational level, longer duration of diabetes, smoker, lack of foot care and poor footwear. Recommendations: Educate diabetic patients, about diabetic foot care practice through educational program to reduce the risk of complications.

“…The study found that treatment outcome for T1DM patients was overall worse than for individuals without diabetes. Motivation levels and personality traits (low persistence and accomplishment levels), could explain these results, as suggested in studies with DM patients [15]. The fact that individuals with T1DM present with low persistence which is associated to low frustration tolerance and low perseverance may explain the high levels of dropouts and the poor outcomes found among these individuals.…”

BackgroundCo-morbidity between Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and eating disorders (ED) has been previously described; however the effect of this illness on the outcomes for conventional ED treatments has not been previously investigated. This study aims to compare clinical, psychopathological and personality features between two samples of ED individuals: those with comorbid T1DM and those without (No-DM); and to identify differences in treatment outcomes between the groups.MethodsThis study compares treatment outcome, dropouts, ED psychopathology and personality characteristics for 20 individuals with ED and T1DM and 20 ED patients without diabetes, matched for diagnostic and treatment type.ResultsThe study found higher dropout rates from therapy in individuals with T1DM and worse treatment outcome in spite of having no significant differences in eating disorder psychopathology, although individuals with T1DM report misusing insulin.ConclusionsThe low levels of motivation to change, and insulin abuse in T1DM patients, may suggest that treatment for patients with ED and T1DM should consider the individual’s personality and role of insulin abuse when determining the appropriate intervention.
