Abstracts

Egyptian Diabetes
Challenges in the New Horizon
Prof Inass Shaltout
Professor of Internal Medicine Diabetology, Cairo University

Diabetes mellitus is a major emerging clinical and public health
problem in Egypt A modern lifestyle, characterized by inactivity and a
high-energy diet, is adopted Rural
populations with more traditional
lifestyles exhibit lower rates of diabetes risk factors and diabetes,
whereas urban populations, and particularly those of a higher socioeconomic
status, have higher rates of both risk factors and diabetes Changes in
physical activity and dietary patterns have promoted the development of
diabetes and if we do nothing, by the year 2025, more than 9 million
Egyptians 13 of the population above 20 year old will have diabetes

Diabetes and Ramadan: to fast or not to fast?
Prof A CHRAIBI,I BENABBAD
Unit of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Nutrition, Ibn Sinas Hospital

The approach of the holy month of Ramadan is for the doctors in
general, and the diabetologists in particular, a quasi obligatory occasion
of consultation of the diabetics The Moroccan diabetics generally ask
doctors for an authorization to fast However many situations exist
explaining sometimes contradictions on medical opinions which express the
degree of relation doctor-patient and especially the impact of the socio-
cultural
traditions

The International Consensus on Diabetes and Ramadan, even if it is old of
more than 10 years, still a reference for a lot of Moroccan doctors but
also for other doctors of Muslim countries Nevertheless it has to be
updated because of the advent of new anti-diabetic medications In practice
to the question: does the diabetic have to fast or not?

The simple answer is no, however in front of the insistence of the patient
and sometimes with the authorization of the doctor; a lot of diabetics fast
under conditions which are not controlled medically

New medications, in particular the soft insulin secretagogues or those with
a long life action and also the analogs of insulin made possible to several
patients to fast without notable riskAll things considered, even if on the
scale of the population it is always advises to diabetics to dont fast; on
an individual scale, the patient eager to fast with their doctors can
combine their efforts so that the fasting involves fewer risks possible and
perhaps a good value

Structure of an Diabetologische Schwerpunktpraxis and its position in
the
web of medical institutions for the treatment of patients with diabetes
mellitus in the Federal Republic of Germany

Prof Richard Berthold

- On the one hand the structure and the sequencing of an Diabetologische
Schwerpunktpraxis will be shown

Examples for that are the care for a large number of diabetics by types,
the realization of varying patient-customized diabetics instructions, the
regular structured follow-up of various parameters relevant to diabetes,
the qualification and advanced training of employees, spatial requirements,
introduction of DMPs

- On the other hand the cross-linking with diverse medical facilities and
various professional groups who are also involved in the treatment of
patients with diabetes mellitus for example general practitioners,
podiatrists, physiologists, heart specialists, nephrologists, foot
ambulance will be pointed out

Case study of a patho physiological orientated therapy with a patient
having diabetes mellitus type 2 considering the individual situation and
the sickness
progression

Prof Richard Berthold

A patient having diabetes mellitus type 2 appears in my
Diabetologische Schwerpunktpraxis for the first time after the occurrence
of diabetes has been recognized and after an insulin therapy has been
started recently at a hospital following a metabolism disorder We will
have a typical care and coaching of the patient with a patho
physiological change in therapy and a formidable improvement of the
metabolic parameters
Patients opinion on the barriers to diabetes control in areas of conflicts
The Iraqi example

Abbas Ali Mansour-MD- Assistant professor of Medicine- Department of
Medicine, Basrah College of MedicineBasrah ,Iraq

Background: The health system in Iraq has undergone progressive decline
since the embargo that

followed the second gulf war in 1991 The aim of this study is to see
barriers to glycemic control
form the patient perspective, in a diabetic clinic in the south of Iraq
Methods: A cross sectional study from the diabetes out-patient clinic in Al-
Faiha general hospital
in Basrah, South Iraq for the period from January to December 2007 The
study includes
diabetic
patients whether type 1 or 2 if they have at least one year of follow up in
the same clinic Those
with A1C ? 7 were interviewed by special questionnaire, that was filled in
by the medical staff of
the clinic The subjects analyzed in this study were adults ? 18 years
old with previously diagnosed
diabetes n 3522 The duration of diabetes range from 1 to 30 years
Results: Mean A1C was 84 2 percent, with 835237 patients with A1C
less than 7 and
2688763 equal to or more than 7 Of 3522 studied patients, 466 were
men and 515 were
women, with mean age of 5378 1281 year and age range 18-97 years
Patient opinion for not
achieving good glycemic control among 2688 patients with HbA1C ? 7
included the following No
drug supply from primary health care center PHC or drug shortage is a
cause in 508 of cases,
while drugs and or laboratory expense were the cause in 502 Thirty point
seven percent of
patients said that they were unaware of diabetics complications and 209
think that diabetes is an
untreatable disease Thirty percent think that non-control of their
diabetes is due to migration after
the war No electricity or erratic electricity,
self-monitoring of blood
glucose SMBG is not
available, or strips were not available or could not be used, and
illiteracy as a cause was seen in
15, 108 and 99 respectively
Conclusion: Our patients with diabetes mellitus declared that of the causes
for poor glycemic
control most of them related to the current health situation in Iraq

EXERCISE FOR OBESITY - HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?

Prof Nadim Haboubi

Exercise is an important part of weight management, particularly in
the long term However, there is conflicting evidence about how much
exercise obese subjects need to perform Diet, genetic or other factors
may contribute to the difference in weight between normal and obese
subjects if physical activities are equal between groups Obese subjects
may therefore need to be more active and perform more exercise than their
normal weight counterparts in order to lower or maintain their weight

Effectiveness of Monochromatic Infrared Photo Energy MIRE in improving
Balance of Diabetic Peripheral
Neuropathy
Mohamed N El Bahrawy 1 Foad Abd Allah2
Departments of Neurology Faculaty of Physical therapy , 1 clinical
Neurology,Faculaty of Medicine, 2 Cairo-University

Background and purpose of work:
Patients with long standing diabetic peripheral Neuropathy suffers marked
affection of lower limb proprioception and often develop balance problems
that can significantly increase fall risk The purpose of this study was to
determine whether the application of Monochromatic infrared photo energy
MIRE to the lower extremities of patients with diabetic peripheral
Neuropathy would improve balance and gait patterns Patients and Methods:
The study conducted on 40 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy
divided equally into two groups20 patient each Group I received
exercise program only, Group II received in addition to exercise program 30
minutes Monochromatic Infrared Photo Energy MIRE
three times a week for one month Tandem walkTW test was used to assess
mean step width,
speed and end sway pre and post therapy in both groups of
patients Results: Both groups were selected to have identical clinical
characteristics, mean of age, duration of both diabetes and peripheral
Neuropathy, Blood sugar control Highly statistical significant difference
p 00001 between the two groups regarding speed post therapy
implicating the beneficial effect of Monochromatic infrared photo energy
MIRE on balance parameters Conclusion: As deducted from the observed
data as well as from the reviewed literature we could recommend that the
application of 12 photo therapy sessions induced improvement in balance and
consequently decrease the incidence of falls in diabetic peripheral
neuropathy

Study of Metabolic Control of Diabetic Patients at
Gabir Abuliz center
October 2007_august 2008

Dr zienab ABasheer, Dr khanssaMalamin, Dr rogiaAali,
Prof ElmohdiMAElmohi

Gabir Abuliz is specialized centre for diabetes at Khartoum It
includes medical ,surgical, ophthalmologic,
nutritional and educational
departments Our referred clinic is conducted once per week
This is prospective; cross sectional study 141 Sudanese patients
were studied Most of the patients 348 age lie between 50_60yrs
84have diabetes for less than 10 yrs
Male : female ratio is 7:10
61were type2 diabetes
Metabolic control of patients was assessed by measuring the fasting
blood sugar , HbA1c, BMI fasting lipid profile
The overall metabolic control in the study showed that 326 had a
good metabolic control ie fasting blood sugar less than 117mg/dl While
HbA1c was 6 in 357
Regarding the body weight of the patient ,335 were overweight
And 294 were obese
337 of the patients had fasting serum cholesterol 200mg/dl
We conclude that diabetes is common disease of high morbidity and
need more attention regarding metabolic control As far as we have high
percent of obesity and hyperlipidemia

diabetic and 84 have diabetes for less than 10 years
Their complication found to be distributed as follows:
Peripheral neuropathy 386,

Ischemic heart disease 318,

hypercholesterolaemia 333,

hypertriglyceridaemia 331,

nephropathy 89,

autonomic neuropathy 31,

We think that rate of long term complications were higher in comparison to
other studies
