“…While the healthcare services in Oman have witnessed tremendous improvement, the quality of care of diabetes has been reported to be sub-optimal. [16][17][18] It is needless to say that improvement in the quality of care of diabetes contributes to preventing the devastating complications of diabetes mellitus and thereby reducing the burden on the patients, their families, and the healthcare cost. [5,6,36] Decision makers should ensure that enough resources are made available for the care of patients with diabetes.…”

“…Many patients with diabetes lack awareness and knowledge of diabetes and its complications. [14,15] Research has indicated that diabetes care is suboptimal, [16,17] and hindered by many challenges such as lack of human resources, medications, and laboratory support. [17] A key element in improving the quality of diabetes care recognized by many researchers in Oman [16][17][18] was through implementing self-management programs.…”

Background and aim: Management of diabetes requires using different approaches that include self-management in which the patients are the main key players. Diabetes self-management contributes to preventing diabetes-related complications and improving the QOL of patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to explore the factors influencing diabetes selfmanagement from the perspectives of the patients with type-2 diabetes in Oman. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured individual interviews was used to conduct this study. A purposive sample of 21 Omani patients with type-2 diabetes were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and translated into English. Content analysis and constant comparison were used to analyze the data. Results: Eight factors influencing DSM were identified: awareness of diabetes complications and the importance of DSM, ability to adapt, support, fear of consequences, frustration and helplessness, complying with sociocultural norm/ritual, lack of care, and planning. Conclusions: To improve the quality of diabetes care and decrease the devastating diabetes-related complications, managing diabetes has to take the form of a collaborative approach that put into consideration the factors influencing diabetes selfmanagement that were identified by this study.

“…On the other hand,. S Al-Sinani [42] announced that nearness of T allele in FTO quality polymorphisms in SNPs rs9939609 was related with expanded danger of creating T2DM in hefty Iraqis. In T2DM, the small allele (T) for rs9939609 was essentially higher (31.25%) comparative with the objective stout populace (20%) (P=0.0001).…”

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the association of the fat-mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the various aspects of BMI in Egyptian patients. FTO quality polymorphism was distinguished utilizing PCR-RFLP in 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 40 evidently sound control subjects. All members were exposed to clinical assessment including estimating systolic and diastolic circulatory strain, BMI, midsection perimeter (WC), neck circuit (NC) and abdomen hip proportion (WHR) and evaluation of both quantitative insulin affectability check record (QUICKI) and HOMA-IR. People with AA genotype were 6.8 occasions bound to have DM than TT genotype patients. T allele was viewed as a defensive factor while An allele was a free hazard factor for T2DM. AA and AT genotypes are noteworthy indicators of type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was noteworthy increment in BMI, NC, WHR (in females) and WC (in guys) in AA genotype bunch contrasted with TT and AT genotype gatherings. HOMA-IR was distinguished higher in AA genotype bunch contrasted with TT and AT genotype gatherings. An allel of (FTO rs9939609) quality polymorphism was seen as altogether connected with expanded danger of T2D and expanded BMI in Egyptian patients.

“…The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 700 million adults will have diabetes in 2045. Excess blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can also damage the nervous system (neuropathy), kidneys (nephropathy), and eyes (retinopathy), causing significant morbidity, disability, and reduced quality of life, with high economic costs [2,3].…”

Aims: To determine the prevalence and predictors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Saudi males and females with diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 507 patients with diabetes between May and August 2018. The data extracted from patients’ records included demographic and clinical information and laboratory investigations. The retinopathy data were based on fundus photography graded into five categories: no DR, NPDR, MNPDR, SNPDR, and PDR. Results: The patients’ mean age was 47.3 years, the majority (59.3%) being female and T2DM being the most common type (52.4%). The prevalence of no DR was 51.4%; NPDR, 4.4%; MNPDR, 7.7%; SNPDR, 3.7%; and PDR, 5.1%. The duration of DM, as well as the severity of hypertension and neuropathy values rose significantly as DR progressed, underlining the pivotal role of hyperglycemia as the primary driver of diabetic complications. The odds ratio for the presence of hypertension was 1.8 (95% CI 0.9–3.5); hypertension showed the highest risk of DR. Stratification according to gender showed a significantly higher DR risk in females than males. Interestingly, nephropathy played a significant role in the DR risk in T1DM. Conclusions: Among T1DM and T2DM patients, the severity of DR is associated with risk factors including the DM duration, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and neuropathy. The impact of these factors varies with gender and diabetes type. Therefore, the severity of DR could define patients at a high risk of macro/microvascular complications and enable earlier interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality among T1DM and T2DM patients.
