“…A recent study reported that gender and family history of DM and education were the predictor of knowledge, attitudes, practices for DM. 29 Concerning attitudes and practices, our results are similar to a study, but higher knowledge scores were reported among students in that study. 30 More awareness regarding any disease could decrease the prevalence of the disease.…”

Purpose This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding diabetes mellitus (DM) among university students. Material and Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine, Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University (KAU) Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), in 2018. All participants were the registered students at the foundation year in the branch of KAU, Rabigh. A questionnaire was developed that had questions related to knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results A total of 1428 participants (770 [53.9%] females and 658 [46.1%] males) were included in the study. Surprisingly, there were 315 (22.1%) students who had been diagnosed with hypertension or told by the healthcare professional that he/she has increased blood pressure, and 223 (15.6%) had high blood sugar. There were 785 (55%) participants who had one or more DM relative. Among our students, only 186 (13%) had good knowledge scores, while 569 (39.8%) and 673 (47.1%) had moderate and poor knowledge scores, respectively. Interestingly, 1190 (83.3%) participants had positive attitudes, while 238 (16.7%) had negative attitudes. More than half of the participants, 844 (59.1%), were practicing adequately for preventing DM. It was observed that females had significantly better general knowledge about DM, its risk factors, signs and symptoms, control and management, complications, and total knowledge scores. Our results showed that the female gender was associated with good knowledge and positive attitude and relatives diagnosed with DM were associated with good knowledge score. The participants who had DM relative and hypertension were more likely to have good attitudes and practices, respectively, in preventing DM. Conclusion Our students’ knowledge score was not up to the mark. Interestingly, participants had positive attitudes and practicing adequately for preventing DM. The female gender was associated with good knowledge scores and positive attitudes.

Review Article introduCtionRamadan fasting (RF) observed by adult Muslims entails abstinence from food, water, all oral substances, intravenous fluid therapy, and smoking between dawn and sunset during the 9 th month of the Muslims' lunar calendar. [1] Ramadan's impact on health and disease stems from the biological effects of prolonged fasting during the daytime and possible overfeeding at night and its various social changes. The last three decades witnessed a rising interest in the research on RF in health and disease. [2] Diabetes has been the most extensively studied single medical condition in connection with RF. [3] Despite the increase in volume of the literature, concern has been voiced regarding the quality of publications on the subject. [4,5] The literature on health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals, making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. We therefore aimed to provide a thematic overview of the global research work conducted in the realm of RF during 2020 on the impact of RF in people with diabetes. We aimed to provide a concise bird's eye view of the literature published in a year and to identify the basis of evidence that may guide clinical practices for the years to come. matErials and mEthodsThis is a narrative, nonsystematic review of the literature retrieved from one online database over a full calendar year (2020). The PubMed search engine of the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the U.S. National Library of Medicine was used. The search term ("Ramadan Fasting" OR "Fast of Ramadan") AND diabetes, with time filters from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, was used to identify the relevant records. Retrieved articles were examined forThe literature on health aspects of Ramadan fasting (RF) is widely spread in many journals, making it not readily accessible to those interested in the subject. We aimed to provide a narrative overview of the global literature production in 1 year (2020) on diabetes and RF. This was a narrative, nonsystematic review of the international literature from a single major medical online database (i.e., PubMed) during the year 2020. The search term "Ramadan fasting AND Diabetes" was used, and the relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account. The publications spanned a vast array of topics related to RF, including assessments of safety and efficacy profiles of older and newer diabetes therapies, modes of insulin delivery, evaluating the role of utilizing advanced technology for the treatment, and monitoring of blood glucose during RF. Increased interest was evident in capturing patients' perspectives and healthcare professionals' perceptions, attitudes, and practices during Ramadan. Fasting by high-risk groups was studied. Not surprisingly, some reports covered COVID-19 and Ramadan and the role of telemedicine in ramadan. The current literature review presents this year's research data on the safety of fasting practices, care models, and patients' experiences and perspectives....

Diabetes is a chronic illness that occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin or when the body cannot use the produced insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose from meals enters the body's cells for energy. The overall goal is to assess diabetes patients' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about prevalent diabetic complications. This research used a descriptive qualitative methodology to assess diabetes complication knowledge, attitude, and practice. Ninety-eight diabetic patients were visiting the Egyptian Hospital in Mogadishu for four weeks. The data was collected using questionnaires. Finally, SPSS 20 was utilized for analysis. The research was performed from May to July 2020 with a non-probability sample size of 98 diabetics. The bulk of responders were aged 40 -60 (36.7%). Type 2 was the most common (47.96%). 44.9% of respondents had diabetes for more than ten years. 60.2% had regular checkups, and 54.1 percent had therapy. 52% of participants were on a diet. 63.3% of respondents do not exercise often. However, most responders know the common issues (75%). Less than half of those polled had problems (41.8%). 22% incidence of Diabetic ketoacidosis. 78.6% of respondents know variables that decrease diabetes complications, whereas 22.4% do not. 37.8% of respondents saw a doctor for diabetes problems, whereas 62.2% did not. Diabetic patients' knowledge, attitude, and practice were satisfactory for fundamental illness entanglements and self-testing. These findings may also be due to patient notification and, therefore, long-term illness that leads them to get acquainted with things alone.
