Aim: It was aimed to examine the complication risk perception and diabetes self-management skills of individuals with diabetes. Material and Methods: The data of the descriptive and relational study were collected using google forms. The sample consists of 153 diabetic individuals. Data were collected with the recognition form, Diabetes Mellitus-Risk Perception Scale, and Diabetes Self-Management Skills Scale. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and median were used as descriptive statistical methods in the evaluation of the data. The distribution of the data was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk test. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal- Wallis test and Spearman correlation analysis were used to evaluate non-parametric data. Results: The mean age of the sample was 49.96 years, 51% were female, 24.8% were illiterate, 5.2% had postgraduate education, 45.1% had poor income, 60.1% had Type 2 diabetes and 36.6% had the highest It has few complications. 87.6% of individuals with diabetes were worried about the development of complications, their self-management scores were found to be higher than those of the nonconcerned group, and a statistically significant difference was found (p

研究目的我们旨在评估新一代胰岛素格列卫u-300在实际生活中对空腹血糖、HbA1c、低密度脂蛋白和甘油三酯水平的影响。 材料与方法:我们回顾性分析了2019年向埃斯基谢希尔-奥斯曼加齐大学内分泌与代谢门诊申请就诊的患者,这些患者使用格列卫u-300替代了老一代基础胰岛素,且抗脂治疗没有改变。我们比较了基线和 3 个月后的空腹血糖(毫克/分升)、HbA1c(%)、低密度脂蛋白(毫克/分升)和甘油三酯(毫克/分升)值。 我们还按性别对这些数据进行了评估。 对连续变量进行了 Shapiro-Wilk 正态性检验。对正态分布变量采用配对样本 t 检验,对非正态分布变量采用 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks 检验。结果分析了 109 名患者的数据。对照组患者开始使用格列宁 u-300 后,空腹血糖的平均值和中位值均有所下降。但在统计学上没有差异(P=0.06)。与基线值(9.61%)相比,HbA1c 控制值(8.8%)在统计学上有显著下降(p

Type 1 diabetes is a process that children with diabetes and their parents can manage through repetitive training, care and close monitoring that they need to continue throughout their lives at the time of diagnosis. Type 1 forms diabetes management components into insulin treatment, healthy nutrition, physical activity, self-monitoring, multidisciplinary close-up and nursing approach. Insulintherapy is central to these components. With the development of diabetes technologies, an electromechanical pump entered the lives of the diabetic child and his or her parents, who automatically sends insulin continuously.In this compilation article, the advantages and disadvantages of the insulin infusion pump, which has become widely used globally, have been discussed in detail in the literature.

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the frequency of food consumption of university students and to examine the effect of nutritional knowledge levels on Body Mass Index (BMI). Material and Methods: A questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional habits, general nutrition information questionnaire (GBBA) and food consumption frequency was applied to 812 students studying at Istanbul Aydın University. Data were analyzed with SPSS v26. Results: The average age of the student is 20.87±1.27 years, 68.4% of the students are female and 31.6% are male. The mean BMI of the students was 22.82±2.91 kg/m2, 8.7% were underweight in terms of BMI, 65.3% were normal weight, 22.8% were obese and 3.2% were obese.

Aim: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is an important incretin hormone secreted from enteroendocrine L cells. GLP-1 analogs are used for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Ovarian hormones are well known in playing critical roles in regulating cardiovascular functions. Cardiovascular disease incidence increases in postmenopausal women. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of administration of liraglutide, a GLP 1 analogue, on cardiac function and cardiac tissue oxidative stress in ovariectomized rats. Material and Methods: Thirty two young female Wistar albino rats were used in the study. Subjects were randomly divided into control, liraglutide-treated control, ovariectomized (OVX), and liraglutide-treated OVX groups. Ovariectomy and sham surgical procedures were performed in 2-month-old female rats. Liraglutide treatment (150µg/kg, subcutaneous, 14 days) was started five weeks after the ovariectomy operation. After measuring the heart rate and blood pressure at the end of the 14-day period, the animals were sacrificed, brown and white adipose tissue weights, and heart tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), nitrate, glycogen and ascorbic acid levels were measured. cardiac glycogen level was increased in the OVX group treated with OVX and liraglutide compared to the control group. Nitral levels in the heart tissue were found to be decreased with ovarectomy. Liraglutide treatment maintained nitrate levels in the heart at control levels. In addition, liraglutide administration reduced retroperitoneal fat deposition in OVX rats. Conclusion: Our results showed that GLP-1 administration was effective in reducing the increased blood pressure due to ovariectomy and maintaining the decreased GSH level in the heart tissue.. Therefore, GLP-1 analogs can be considered as potential therapeutic agents in the regulation of blood pressure in the postmenopausal period.

Aim: The contemporaneous increase in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and obesity prevalence in children has led to conflicting reports regarding the effects of weight excess on beta-cell function and clinical manifestation of T1D. We aimed to analyze the association between body mass index (BMI) and beta-cell function in a large cohort of new-onset T1D youth. Material and Methods: This study included 204 consecutive children with T1D aged 1-18 years. We retrospectively reviewed the medical data. The preservation of C-peptide was defined as a C-peptide level ≥0.6 ng/mL. Comparisons of variables between groups were made using appropriate statistical procedures. Results: Eighteen percent of children were overweight or obese. Overweight/obesity was associated with significantly higher C-peptide levels at onset [0.57 (0.05-2.99) vs 0.41 (0.05-2.58) ng/ml, p=0.01]. Preservation of C-peptide levels was observed in 67% of patients. Patients with preserved C-peptide levels were older at onset [10.4 (1.9-16.5) vs 7.5 (1.1-17.3) yr, p<0.001], more likely to be pubertal (61.2% vs 22.6%, p<0.001) and had a higher BMI SDS (0.03±1.37 vs -0.67±1.47, p=0.001). The proportion of individuals with preserved C-peptide levels increased with increasing BMI, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (29.9% to 45.9%, p=0.06). While there was a positive correlation between BMI SDS and C-peptide levels (rs=0.24, p=0.001), HbA1c levels negatively correlated with BMI SDS (r=-0.16, p=0.025). proportion of the study population. Obese and overweight children had a greater residual beta-cell function at the onset of T1D. It could be speculated that they were diagnosed at an earlier phase of beta-cell damage.
