“…The higher percentage of females recorded here more than males Table 1 is striking and agrees with the study of Ogunbodede et al [11] who gave a higher female to male ratio in his study. Also, Chinenye et al [12] in a multi-center study in Nigeria reported a ratio of 2:1, female: male ratio of diabetic patients; however, these results do not reflect the pattern observed in other studies involving diabetic patients with periodontal diseases outside the tertiary health centers in Nigeria where the male: female ratio is reported to be close to 1:1 [13][14][15].…”

“…Similarly, Kapp et al [21] reported that respondents with diabetes showed a considerably higher prevalence of tooth loss of up to 5 and 6 or more teeth, compared with no tooth loss in non-diabetic respondents. Studies in a Nigerian population in Ile-Ife reported that the mean number of missing teeth was higher for diabetic subjects 1.56 ± 2.39, than the non-diabetic subjects 0.96 ± 1.64 [11]. The reason for these higher number of tooth loss in diabetic patients has been attributed to a lack of knowledge of the undesirable bi-directional relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease such that hyperglycemic environment will result in periodontal disease and periodontal disease on the other hand, will increase insulin resistance which could lead to tooth loss if left unchecked [1,22].…”

Study background: This research is to assess the number of missing teeth and to examine the relationship between age and tooth-loss in diabetic patients. Methods:The study consisted of 201 diabetic patients and an equal number of non-diabetic patients as control. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed which contained close-ended questions and this was followed by an oral examination of each patient; number of missing teeth were recorded in a data collecting sheet. Data was evaluated using SPSS 20 version. Results:Respondents were within age-group 30-73years for diabetics and 32-68years for non-diabetics. The mean number of missing teeth in diabetics was 5.22 ± 0.73 while non-diabetics had 3.17 ± 0.53 which was statistically significant when p-value was ≤ 0.005. Diabetic patients, within the age-group of 35-44 had 3.21 mean missing teeth and those within the age-group of 64-75 years had 7.31 mean missing teeth. Conclusion:The mean number of missing teeth in the diabetic patient and the control increased gradually as patients grew older but tooth loss was more pronounced in the diabetics. The result here agrees with results in other parts of Nigeria and worldwide. Within the limitations of this study, tooth loss is more in diabetic patients than nondiabetics and increases more in diabetics as both groups grow older.

“…For instance, we found that only one study conducted in Nigeria reported on the use of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) devices. In this cohort of 531 diabetic patients receiving care in an urban setting, only 27.2% had access to HBGM 11. It was not reported whether this translated in a better outcome of care or not.…”

Evidence has been accumulating on the importance of the rising burden of diabetes mellitus on the African continent at an increasingly higher pace. In the first paper of this series of two companion papers, recent evidence on the prevalence, pathogenesis and comorbidities of obesity and diabetes mellitus in Africa were summarised. In this second paper, we focus on recent developments pertaining to the prevention, screening and the economic burden of diabetes and obesity on the continent. There are indications that awareness on diabetes and chronic diseases at large has increased in Africa in recent times. However, the care for diabetes largely remains suboptimal in most countries, which are not adequately prepared to face the prevention and control of diabetes, as the costs of caring for the condition pose a tremendous challenge to most local economies. Moreover, translation strategies to prevent and control diabetes and obesity, on the continent, are still to be evaluated.

“…A lifetime risk as high as 15 to 25 % has also been reported [11,12]. The prevalence of DFU among diabetic patients varies widely from about 14.8 % in Ethiopia to 21.2 % in Calabar, Nigeria [13][14][15][16]. In Lagos, Nigeria, Ogbera et al [17] found a high prevalence of 41.5 % for DFU.…”

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is associated with a high rate of morbidity, prolonged hospital stay, and serious complications including limb amputation. The objective of this study was to determine the outcome of DFU among medical inpatients in the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, Nigeria. Data from case records of diabetes-related admissions into the medical wards of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu (UNTH) between January 2009 and December 2012 were analyzed. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS v17. Out of 726 diabetes mellitus (DM)-related admissions (59.1 % males, 40.9 % females), DFU accounted for 119 (16.4 %), of which 65.5 % were males and 34.5 % were females. The mean duration of diabetes in DFU patients was 7.2±5.8 years, while the median (interquartile range) duration of the ulcer before the presentation was 24 (14-60) days. The mean age of patients with DFU was 55.2 ± 13.2 years, while the duration of hospital stay ranged from 2 to 98 days, median (interquartile range (IQR)) of 16 (9.8-30.3)days. Out of the 119 DFU admissions, 88 (73.9 %) were discharged, 15 (12.6 %) died, while 16 (13.5 %) discharged themselves against medical advice (DAMA). Of those who were discharged, about 75 % were discharged with nonhealed ulcers either for outpatient care or to surgical units. The most common Wagner grade of ulcer was grade 3 (41.5 %). Risk factors for ulceration were peripheral vascular disease in 47.1 % and peripheral neuropathy in 57.6 %.Mortality due to DFU accounted for 10.6 % of all diabetes mortality. Diabetic foot ulcer was a common reason for admission and characterized by late presentation and advanced ulcer stage. Diabetes foot ulcers admitted and managed in the medical wards were associated with poor outcome.
