“…These data can be seen in our results, where their presence significantly affects almost all of the components or scales analysed in the SF-36, confirmed in recent studies such as the one carried out by Domínguez et al [22]. As described by Yeboah et al [37], we understand that diabetic patients who have asymptomatic arterial disease are unaware of the evolution and sometimes the presence of this condition.…”

“…Peripheral arterial disease, understood as an obstructive arteriosclerotic complication with signs and symptoms of complete or partial interruption of peripheral blood flow [18], was considered in the presence of a compatible ankle brachial index (ABI) according to the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) (<0.9)-this method has been validated and is used in the clinical setting [19][20][21]-and a grade II to grade IV of the Leriche-Fontaine classification of arterial symptomatology was used [22].…”

“…The index was calculated by dividing the highest blood pressure at the level of the foot by the brachial blood pressure, which resulted in a higher figure [23]. Blood pressure measurement was performed with a Spead-Doppler-Systeme 8 Mhz emission frequency Doppler and a manual progressive pressure cuff, placed 3-4 cm above the brachial crease and 4-5 cm above the intermalleolar line at the ankle [19,22], bilaterally and simultaneously. Data obtained from the posterior tibial and pedal artery system were also recorded.…”

The co-existence of complications and diabetes mellitus is related to a worsening in quality of life compared to not presenting comorbidities. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a different impact on quality of life according to gender and to establish the physiological parameters that these patients have in relation to diabetes-related complications. The sampling was continuous non-probabilistic, involving legal age patients with diabetes mellitus. All of the participants were administered the generic SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. The presence of peripheral artery disease was considered from an ankle brachial index <0.9 and grade II to grade IV of the Leriche–Fontaine classification. Nerve dysfunction was detected from a neurotensiometer test, and the presence of diabetic foot was detected from a dermal examination and co-existence with arteriopathy and/or neuropathy. Men presented significantly better quality of life values on the mental health, emotional role and health transition scales. Despite this, in the presence of complications such as vasculopathy, neuropathy or diabetic foot, the perception of well-being changes, showing that men and women face the disease in different ways. Despite the fact that the physical parameters of diabetic patients are similar according to the complications that they present, the adult women in our environment have lower levels of quality of life than men in most cases. This may be related not only to pathophysiological differences but also to sociocultural factors.

“…Average glucose concentrations (mg day À1 AE SEM) for 4a, 4g, and 4h were 74. 33 182 The antidiabetic action of reported compounds was checked by tail tipping method for streptozocin-induced higher glucose levels in male Wistar rats. The promising antidiabetic activity of TZN-4 and TZN-8 was higher than the reference drug.…”
