“…A tertiary hospital study in Nigeria among Nurses on the management of diabetes mellitus showed that educational intervention training could improve knowledge of the management of diabetes mellitus [22]. Protocols and guidelines were recommended to be placed in strategic positions in the hospitals to assist the nurses in the management of the patients.…”

The aim: this study aims to assess the prevalence of hyperglycaemia, the association between diet quality, physical exercise and blood glucose levels among hypertensives attending a secondary health centre in Nigeria. There is a paucity of data concerning these issues and the study would contribute positively to future management of the patients. Methods: the study was a cross-sectional study of 354 hypertensives that was conducted at the State Hospital, Oyo, Nigeria. The systematic sampling technique was used to recruit patients, and the data were analysed using SPSS software version 23. Linear regression was done to determine the predictors of hyperglycaemia, and logistic regression was done to determine the predictors of diet quality. Results: the mean age of the respondents was 52.60(SD±8.26) years. The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in this cohort was 19.60 %. The association of glycated haemoglobin (HbAic) with High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) was negative, weak in strength and statistically significant (p-value=0.034). For every 1 unit decrease in High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), there was a statistically significant increase in HbAic by about 0.383 units (95 % C.I equals -0.737 to -0.029, p-value=0.034). For every 1 unit increase in total Cholesterol, there was a significant increase in HbAic by about 0.158 units (95 % CI equals 0.007 to 0.308, p-value=0.04). Age group <45 years were about 2 times less likely to have good diet quality than those of 55 years and above (OR=0.502; 95 % CI=0.270 – 0.932, p-value=0.029). Conclusions: the study has assisted to characterise this population of hypertensives in terms of serum glucose levels. The prevalence of hyperglycaemia was high among these hypertensives. The predictors of hyperglycaemia were HDL and Cholesterol. Also, the predictor of good diet quality was the age of the respondents

“…It must be taken into consideration that the use of educational programmes are an important part of DM control [14]. Analysis of the application data was also useful for demonstrating the prevalence of the involvement of patients in general, considering the population under analysis (patients already diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and under medication control), showing the relationship between personal antecedents with diabetes -75% of diabetic patients also had associated hypertension.…”

Introduction andObjective. Diabetic foot is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is the leading cause of lower limb amputation. Use of the application 'Cuidando do Pé' (Caring for the Foot), with the aim of achieving better preventive alternatives and seeking better patient monitoring. Materials and method. Cross-sectional study, carried out with 20 patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, in routine consultations between June -November 2022. The collection was performed from a questionnaire made available through the application 'Cuidando do Pé' and the behaviours given accordingly. Results. 40% did not know about foot care; among those who did, 80% had never had their feet evaluated by health professionals, 55% did not perform proper care, and 30% claimed to have chronic pain at the site. None of the patients presented deformities or changes in skin integrity or colour; however, absent pilification (20%), xeroderma (25%), cracks (5%), hypertrophic (5%) or hypotrophic (5%) nails, humid (5%) or macerated (5%) interdigital spaces, decreased superficial (35%) and deep (5%) sensibility, altered reflexes (20%), lower limb oedema (15%), cold temperature (5%), and decreased peripheral pulses (up to 25%) were presented. Conclusion. Most of the patients with type II DM analysed did not perform proper foot care, and many did not know what this care was and were classified, on average, as having moderate risk of developing complications. Several alterations were presented, most of which could be avoided with routine consultations and more information on comorbidities associated with type II DM. The application 'Cuidando do Pé' is a viable alternative for better standardisation of care, also having simplicity and accessibility for health workers.
