Objective To compare pregnancy outcomes in patients with early versus usual gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design A retrospective cohort study. Settings The Women’s Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar. Participants GDM women who attended and delivered the between January December 2016. was diagnosed based on 2013-WHO criteria. study included 801 patients; of which, 273 E-GDM 528 U-GDM. Early (E-GDM) (U-GDM) were defined as detected before after 24 weeks’ gestation, respectively....
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has been suggested to be associated with hypoglycemia and impaired unawareness. We have assessed the relationship between CAN extensive measures of glucose variability (GV) in patients type 1 2 diabetes.Participants diabetes underwent continuous monitoring (CGM) obtain GV extent hyperglycemia cardiovascular reflex testing.Of 40 participants (20 T1DM 20 T2DM) (aged 40.70 ± 13.73 years, duration 14.43 7.35 HbA1c 8.85 1.70%), 23 (57.5%) had CAN. Despite a...
Key content Diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy (DKP) is a serious complication that poses several challenges with respect to diagnosis, management and prevention. This article covers the precipitating factors for DKP as well prevention of complication. Learning objectives To manage acute crisis DKP. increase awareness reduce perinatal morbidity mortality associated Ethical issues Despite adequate knowledge care patients diabetes, DKA major cause concern? awareness,
Abstract There are currently several diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes (GDM). Both the WHO -2013 and NICE diagnose GDM based on a single step 75 g OGT; however; each uses different glucose thresholds. Previous studies have shown that prevalence of using (GDM-N) is lower than WHO-2013 (GDM-W). Qatar has national in pregnancy program which all pregnant women undergo OGTT screening criteria. This study aims to define both high-risk population. retrospective included 2000 who...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is highly prevalent in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Mobile health (m-health) can improve communications between diabetic patients medical teams, this, turn, may enhance engagement self-management. Droobi a multi-language mobile application designed to support self-management of with DM. The study aimed explore experiences educators about their communication before after implementation Droobi, diabetes management app. We interviewed convenience sample...
Background: The somatostatin analog, pasireotide, is used for the treatment of acromegaly after failure surgery and/or first-line medical treatment. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old male reported that during a workup obesity in his home country, hyperprolactinemia was diagnosed and 3.5 × cm pituitary macroadenoma identified on MRI. He received cabergoline 6 months; then he lost to follow-up. presented at our Endocrine clinic 2 years later (BMI 49.5 kg/m ). Biochemical revealed addition...
Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency is associated with indicators of pre-diabetes including, insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction and elevated plasma glucose controversial findings from current trials. This study aims to investigate the long-term effect vitamin on metabolism sensitivity in pre-diabetic highly vitamin-deficient subjects. Methods One hundred thirty-two participants were randomized 30,000 IU weekly for 6 months. Participants underwent oral tolerance test (OGTT) at...
Graves’ disease (GD) may display uncommon manifestations. We report a patient with rare complications of GD and present comprehensive literature review. A 35-year-old woman presented two-week history dyspnea, palpitations, edema. She had raised jugular venous pressure, goiter, exophthalmos. Laboratory tests showed pancytopenia, alkaline phosphatase level, hyperbilirubinemia (mainly direct bilirubin), hyperthyroidism [TSH: <0.01 mIU/L (reference values: 0.45–4.5), fT4: 54.69 pmol/L...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has emerged as a rapidly spreading contagious across globe. Recent studies showed that people with diabetes mellitus, severe obesity, and cardiovascular are at higher risk of mortality from COVID-19. It been suggested increased is due to chronic inflammatory state associated type 2 diabetes. This study aimed evaluate efficacy pioglitazone, strong insulin sensitizer anti-inflammatory properties, in improving clinical...
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has revealed that glycemic variability and low time in range are associated with albuminuria retinopathy. We have investigated the relationship between metrics derived from CGM a highly sensitive measure of neuropathy using corneal confocal microscopy participants type 1 2 diabetes.A total 40 diabetes 28 healthy controls underwent quantification nerve fiber density (CNFD), branch (CNBD), length (CNFL) inferior whorl (IWL) those for four consecutive...
Hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal and neonatal complications. Cinacalcet a calcimimetic medication that used in the treatment of hyperparathyroidism; its use limited to few case reports.Case report literature review.We are reporting on 37-year-old patient who was admitted hospital dyspnea at 24 weeks gestation. A routine blood test revealed hypercalcemia; corrected calcium level 3.17 mmol/L, parathyroid hormone elevated 168 pg/mL. The asymptomatic....
Glucose monitoring is key to the management of diabetes mellitus maintain optimal glucose control whilst avoiding hypoglycemia. Non-invasive continuous techniques have evolved considerably replace finger prick testing, but still require sensor insertion. Physiological variables, such as heart rate and pulse pressure, change with blood glucose, especially during hypoglycemia, could be used predict To validate this approach, clinical studies that contemporaneously acquire physiological...
Pregnancy in the setting of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. There strong evidence to suggest that use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) better glycemic control reduced adverse pregnancy outcomes. As hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems are increasingly used among women T1D, many prefer continue off-label these during pregnancy. However, most available HCL systems' targets algorithms not designed overcome challenges face insulin therapy We reporting...
Objective: The incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy (DKP) varies from 0.5%, the lowest reported rate western countries, to 8.9% a study conducted China. associated fetal mortality is 9-36%. This aimed assess current incidence, causes, and outcomes identify factors with favorable outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review 20 hospital admissions 19 pregnant women 3,679 pregnancies delivered between June 2012 May 2015 was conducted. Those successful DKP management (group A) or...
Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during pregnancy better glycemic control in women T1DM. However, no clear benefits have been demonstrated reducing feto-maternal outcomes pregnant
