“…We used mean and single FPG measurements for glycemic control and total cholesterol and triglyceride test for lipid profile assessments. Glycemic control was classified as good or poor based on the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) (good: FPG < 130 mg/dL; poor: FPG ≥ 130 mg/dL) [13]. …”

Background The aim of this study was to assess target diabetic goal achievements and to explore variables associated with them. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2015 and April 2016 on 188 type 2 diabetic patients attending Ayder Referral Hospital's outpatient diabetic clinic. Glycemic control was assessed using fasting plasma glucose values and total cholesterol and triglyceride were used to evaluate lipid profiles. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to identify factors associated with poor glycemic control, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Result Mean duration of diabetes was 6.5 years. Combined glycemic, lipid, and blood pressure targets were achieved only in 8.5% of the participants. More males achieved combined targets than females. Separately, while above two-thirds of the patients had poor glycemic control (67%), more than half of the participants have had poor lipid (58.5%) and blood pressure (52.1%) control. A significant portion of the patients (68.1%) had also comorbidities other than hyperglycemia. In bivariate and multivariate analyses, longer duration of diabetes disease (AOR: 3.4; P = 0.013) and marked month to month fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability as measured by large standard deviation (AOR: 2.5; P = 0.023) were significantly associated with overall poor mean FPG results. Female sex was also significantly associated with dyslipidemia (AOR: 1.9; P = 0.049). Conclusion The study showed that achievements of combined diabetic goals are generally poor.

“…Moreover, understanding gender differences in T2DM can be useful for policymakers who are tasked with reducing the gender gap in employment and researchers who want to analyze deeply these decision factors. Korea should consider developing tailored and evidence-based prevention and disease management programs for diabetic patients using gender-specific remedies [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

Previous studies have analyzed the impact of diabetes mellitus on labor market participation by men and women, but gender difference between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and employment has not been the focus. This study aims to explore gender differences between T2DM and employment status. Data from the Korea Health Panel Study, 2013–2015 were analyzed by distinguishingT2DM and non-diabetes (N = 11,216). The empirical model was established and the generalized two-stage least squares (2SLS) was estimated, controlling for endogeneity. A family history of diabetes, as an instrumental variable, was related to an individual’s genetic predisposition to develop diabetes. The estimated results for the 2SLS showed the interaction effects between T2DM and employment. T2DM had a statistically significant and negative effect on employment for women only. The comparison with non-diabetes showed that women with T2DM had a lower probability of employment by 51.9% (p < 0.05). Exposing gender bias in employment suggests that healthcare policies and disease management programs for diabetic patients should adopt gender-specific remedies.

“…Rozważając relacje między aktywnością zawodową a cukrzycą, należy zauważyć uwzględnienie tego aspektu w międzynarodowych [40,41] i polskich [30] zaleceniach klinicznych dotyczących postępowania u chorych na cukrzycę. Podkreśla się w nich, że chorowanie na cukrzycę nie może stanowić przyczyny dyskryminacji lub nierównego traktowania w dostępie do pracy, a ograniczenia zawodowe powinny być nakładane jedynie w oparciu o indywidualną ocenę każdego chorego, uwzględniającą schemat leczenia (insulinoterpia czy pochodne sulfonylomocznika), świadomość hipoglikemii, historię medyczną (epizody i przyczyny ciężkiej hipoglikemii), a także opinię lekarza prowadzącego.…”

“…Za potencjalne czynniki szkodliwe i uciążliwości, które mogą niekorzystnie wpływać na przebieg cukrzycy, uznano zmianowy i nocny czas pracy [30,40,41], czynności wymagające zwiększonego wysiłku fizycznego, zwłaszcza o statycznym charakterze, oraz narażenie na dwusiarczek węgla i niektóre pestycydy [30]. Wskazuje się przy tym potrzebę dostosowywania warunków pracy do pracownika z cukrzycą, w szczególności na edukację pracodawców, dostosowanie czasu pracy, wprowadzenie optymalnej liczby przerw i zapewnienie miejsca umożliwiającego pomiary glikemii oraz uzupełnianie węglowodanów.…”

In this article the authors attempted to analyze the arguments for considering diabetes as a work-related disease. An overview of literature has been done out of articles published in the years 1980-2016, with the use of combination of key words referring to employment, workplace, and diabetes. The PubMed database was the source of data. The authors indicate that the following arguments are in favor of diabetes being recognized as a work-related disease: diabetes is not an occupational disease, it is not directly related to the work environment or the way the work is performed, but there are observed adverse effects of occupational work-related nuisances, such as night shift work, long work hours, job strain or workplace standing time, which influence its development and course. The number of publications on diabetes, including the problem of occupational work is comparable to the number of analogous publications concerning work-related diseases such as hypertension or ischemic heart disease. Moreover, some aspects of professional activity and diabetes were also included in clinical recommendations for the workplace, which is uncommon in the case of other diseases, even those generally recognized as work-related. Data from medical references, indicating the effectiveness of workplace interventions aimed at preventing diabetes development and/or worsening of its course should be considered as an argument for the inclusion of diabetes into the group of work-related diseases. This should also support the need for further research and practical actions aimed at preventing diabetes at the workplace. Med Pr 2017;68(5):667-675.
