“…The incidence of stroke attributable to diabetes mellitus has been rising steadily especially in southern Nigeria. 28 This calls for urgent health education on prevention measures for hypertension and diabetes mellitus targeted specifically for males in the riverine communities to salvage their already compromised health status.…”

Background: The global burden of non-communicable diseases is enormous, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study assessed the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus and associated factors among adult residents of riverine communities in Niger delta region of Nigeria. Methods: A community-based descriptive cross-sectional study. Adults aged 18 years and above residing in riverine communities who attended a free medical outreach programme were screened for hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Anthropometry and measurements were done using standard methods. Data was analysed using SPSS version 26. Results: Of the 1597 participants, 1066 (66.6%) were females, 470 (29.4%) overweight and 356 (22.3%) were obese. Their mean age was 41.0±14.5 years. The prevalence of hypertension diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia was 37.6%, 3.9% and 65.6% respectively. Significant predictors of hypertension were age ≥40 years (OR =3.86, CI: 2.59-5.75, p<0.001), male sex (OR=1.78, CI: 1.19-2.65, p=0.005), overweight (OR=1.92, CI: 1.19-3.11, p=0.008) and obesity (OR=1.73, CI: 1.05-2.85, p=0.032). No statistically significant association between demographic characteristics and diabetes mellitus was observed. Conclusions: The high prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the riverine communities calls for an urgent need to set up community based noncommunicable diseases prevention programmes and then develop and implement effective targeted interventions to help residents of the riverine communities diagnosed with these conditions to better manage the disease.

“…Globally, DM is equally the principal cause of end-stage kidney disease. Foot ulcerations, limb amputation, erectile dysfunction, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, peripheral arterial disease, stroke and coronary artery disease are other potential complications of DM [17,18]. Cognitive decline is common in type 2 diabetes when compared with individuals of similar age groups but without diabetes.…”

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia that results from a defect in insulin secretion, action, or both. There are different types of diabetes mellitus, but type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common type globally. Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from a complex interaction between predisposing genes and unhealthy lifestyle choices. The risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, prediabetes, sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diets, and hypertension. Poorly controlled diabetes causes microvascular and macrovascular complications. The goals of management are to prevent these complications and optimise quality of life. Fasting plasma glucose, 2-hours post glucose load, random plasma glucose or HbA1c above a certain threshold diagnoses diabetes in the presence or classic symptoms otherwise, the tests are repeated on a second occasion. HbA1c is convenient and reliable but, it is affected by conditions affecting the turnover of red cells. Management of type 2 diabetes is individualised with focus on diabetes education, lifestyle changes, pharmacological therapy, management of co-morbidities, and monitoring of treatment. Various factors determine the drugs used, but metformin remains the cornerstone. Other cardiovascular risk factors must be adequately controlled.
