Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
A diabetes mellitus é uma insuficiência absoluta ou relativa de insulina que resulta da deficiente secreção desta por parte das células pancreáticas ou da oposição à acção da insulina. A diabetes é uma das endocrinopatias mais frequentes no cão. Quando é diagnosticado com diabetes mellitus, o animal pode encontrar-se num estado dependente de administração exógena de insulina de insulina, em que as células já não produzem insulina, ou num estado de não dependente de insulina, em que as células ainda possuem alguma função residual. No cão, a diabetes mellitus dependente de insulina é uma patologia multifactorial. Alguns dos factores implicados na etiologia da doença são: predisposição genética, infecção, patologia que provoque antagonismo à insulina, fármacos, obesidade, insulite imunomediada e pancreatite. Todos os factores referidos desempenham um papel que culmina na perda de função das células , hipoinsulinemia, deficiência no transporte da glucose para o interior das células e aceleração do processo de gluconeogénese hepática e glicogenólise. A insuficiência em insulina provoca a diminuição da utilização da glucose, levando a hiperglicemia. A glucose, como é uma molécula pequena, é filtrada pelo glomérulo renal; quando a capacidade de reabsorção de glucose das células dos túbulos renais a partir do filtrado glomerular é excedida, ocorre glicosúria. A glicosúria provoca diurese osmótica, que leva a polidipsia. Como a entrada da glucose nas células do centro da saciedade é mediada pela insulina, o centro da saciedade não inibe o centro da alimentação. Os quatro sinais clássicos de diabetes são então poliúria, polidipsia, polifagia e perda de peso. O principal objectivo da terapêutica instituída é eliminar os sinais clínicos observados pelo dono, o que pode ser conseguido com uma administração ponderada de insulina, dieta, exercício e com a prevenção ou controlo de doenças inflamatórias, infecciosas, neoplásicas e endócrinas. As complicações mais frequentes são cegueira devido à formação de cataratas, pancreatite crónica e infecções recorrentes do tracto urinário, das vias respiratórias e da pele. Os animais diabéticos têm ainda o risco de desenvolver hipoglicemia e cetoacidose. A cetoacidose diabética é consequência da diabetes que resulta em formação de corpos cetónicos no fígado, em acidose metabólica, desidratação severa, choque e possivelmente morte. A maior parte dos cães diabéticos vive menos de 5 anos após o diagnóstico, sendo que os primeiros seis meses são decisivos para o controlo da doença. Com cuidados apropriados por parte dos donos, avaliações regulares por parte do veterinário e uma boa comunicação entre o cliente e o médico veterinário, muitos animais diabéticos podem levar vidas relativamente normais durante vários anos.
ABSTRACT - Diabetes mellitus, which is a very common endocrinopathy in the dog, is an absolute or relative insufficiency in the production of insulin by the pancreatic cells or an impaired sensitivity to the hormone or both. When diagnosed with diabetes mellitus some animal may need insulin therapy immediately, for their cells produce no insulin - insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and some others may have a slower loss of function of cells - non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The etiology of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in the dog is multifactorial, being related to genetic susceptibility, infections, insulin resistance inducing disease, drugs, obesity, immune mediated insulitis and pancreatitis. All these factors lead to the functional loss of pancreatic cells, impaired transport of glucose into cells and enhancing the hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolisis. The classic clinical signs of diabetes mellitus are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss. The insulin deficiency leads to a decrease in glucose use and sequent hyperglycemia. Being a small molecule, glucose is filtrated in the renal glomérulos; when the ability of reabsorbing glucose of the tubular cells is overwhelmed, glycosuria occurs. Glycosuria leads to osmotic diuresis, which in turn leads to polydipsia. To enter the satiety center cells, glucose needs insulin. Without it, the satiety center never inhibits the hunger center. The treatment of diabetes aims to control the clinical signs described, and that con be achieved with insulin therapy, diet, exercise and prophylaxis and control of infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic or endocrine diseases. The most frequent consequences of diabetes mellitus in dogs are blindness as a consequence of diabetic cataracts, chronic pancreatitis and urinary tract, skin and upper respiratory tract infections. Diabetic dogs have an increased risk of developing hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis leads to hepatic production of ketone bodies, metabolic acidosis, severe dehydration and even death. Most diabetic dogs live up to 5 years after they are diagnosed, the six first months being the most important ones. With proper care from the owner, regular reevaluations with the veterinarian and good communication between veterinarian and owner, the diabetic dog can have an ordinary life for several years.

Abstract:
In this thesis we studied the influence of osmotic loading on vasopressin secretion and water intake in experimentally-induced diabetes mellitus, in the insulin deprived state as well as when treated with insulin, in order to investigate whether the osmotic drive for vasopressin release and thirst is altered in the diabetic state. Four dogs were used for the experiments to be reported. They were infused with hypertonic sodium sulfate to investigate the influence of osmotic loading on water intake and vasopressin secretion in the control, insulin-treated diabetic and diabetic conditions. Forty-eight hours of insulin depletion did not produce a change in the basal plasma vasopressin levels, even though there was a significant increase in plasma osmolality. In addition, forty-eight hours of insulin depletion did not alter the sensitivity of the osmoreceptors controlling vasopressin release and thirst. The effect of the diabetic condition on the osmotic threshold is subject to interpretation of the data. If glucose is considered an osmotically effective solute in the diabetic state, there is an upward resetting of the osmostat for vasopressin release and thirst, and a downward or leftward shift of the osmostat when glucose is not considered to be effective osmotically. The results of the present study provide evidence that the osmotic sensitivity of vasopressin release and thirst is not affected by the presence or absence of insulin. However, whether there is a true resetting of the osmostat for vasopressin release and thirst in the diabetic state depends on the assumption mode concerning glucose permeability.

Abstract:
People with diabetes mellitus are more likely to die from cardiovascular causes than those without diabetes, and modifiable risk factors, such as hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension can be targeted in intervention programs to decrease this risk. In addition to tertiary care for patients with diabetes, there is a need for simple programs to be implemented in the community that allow the benefits of improved metabolic and blood pressure control to be realised more widely. Pharmaceutical care comprises the detection, prevention and solution of drug-related problems in a quantifiable form, so that outcomes of care can be easily reviewed and monitored. Previous studies of pharmaceutical care programs in patients with diabetes do not provide conclusive evidence of the benefit of pharmaceutical care. The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients with diabetes mellitus in an Australian context. In order to develop a pharmaceutical care program, the characteristics of an Australian cohort of patients with diabetes were reviewed. The Fremantle Diabetes Study (FDS), was a community-based prospective observational study of diabetes care, control and complications in a postcode-defined region of 120 097 people surrounding the port city of Fremantle in Western Australia. It was intended that the FDS annual reviews would provide important local information in order to design and implement a prospective pharmaceutical care program. A pilot pharmaceutical care program was subsequently developed for use in a diabetes outpatient clinic. This program was then modified for use in a community-based sample of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, drawn from the FDS cohort.
Demographic parameters, including ethnicity and treatment details, were reviewed at study entry for the full FDS cohort and then over time for a subset of patients that returned for four subsequent annual assessments. Insulin use was more common in patients of Southern European origin compared with the Anglo-Celt group irrespective of the level of glycaemia, at baseline. This difference persisted during subsequent follow-up but was not associated with improved glycaemic control. These findings demonstrated that there are important ethnic differences in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The pilot pharmaceutical care program was carried out in high-risk diabetes mellitus patients attending a hospital outpatient clinic. The patients had poor glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and/or were on three or more prescription medications. In the pharmaceutical care arm, a clinical pharmacist reviewed and monitored all aspects of the patients' drug therapy in collaboration with other health care professionals at six weekly intervals for six months. The control patients received usual outpatient care. Seventy-three patients were recruited into the study, of whom 48 (66%) were randomised to receive pharmaceutical care. One in six patients was taking complementary medicines. The pharmaceutical care program provided patients with important medication information that resulted in changes to drug therapy. However, the six-month program did not lead to an improvement in glycaemic control. The next phase of the study adapted the pilot hospital-based pharmaceutical care program to a community-based setting.
Two hundred and two type 2 diabetes mellitus FDS patients were recruited, of whom 101 (50%) were randomised to the pharmaceutical care program, and all were followed for 12-months. There were significant reductions in risk factors associated with coronary heart disease in the case but not the control group over time, specifically glycaemic control, lipid levels, and blood pressure. Glycosylated haemoglobin fell from 7.5% to 7.0% (P<0.0001), total cholesterol fell from 5 mmol/L to 4.6 mmol/L (P<0.0001), systolic blood pressure fell from 158 mmHg to 143 mmHg (P<0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure fell from 77mmHg to 71mmHg (P<0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that pharmaceutical care program involvement was an independent predictor of benefit after adjustment for key variables. The 10-year coronary heart disease risk for patients without a previous coronary event was reduced by 4.6% over the 12-month study period in the pharmaceutical care group (P<0.0001), while there was no change in the controls (P=0.23). This phase of the study showed that medium-term individualised pharmaceutical care reduced vascular risk factors in a community-based cohort of patients with diabetes and that provision of a multifactorial intervention can improve health outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus. As part of the pharmaceutical care program, a high level of complementary medicine use was found. As a result, a study of complementary medicine use was undertaken in 351 patients from the FDS. A convenience sample of FDS patients was interviewed regarding their use of complementary medicines. A literature search was conducted to assess the potential impact of these medicines on diabetes, concomitant medications or diabetes-related co-morbidities.
Eighty-three of 351 (23.6%) patients with diabetes had consumed at least one complementary medicine in the previous year and 42% (77/183) of the products potentially necessitated additional patient monitoring or could be considered potentially inappropriate for a diabetic patient. The data indicated the need for patient disclosure of complementary medicine use and adequate monitoring for complementary medicine-related adverse events, as part of the pharmaceutical care process. The pharmaceutical care model was established to provide a framework by which drug use could be improved to enhance patients' clinical and health-related quality of life outcomes. For the present study, a straightforward pharmaceutical care program was adapted from a hospital setting to a community setting, where the principal requirement was a clinical pharmacist who had completed a self-directed diabetes-training program. In this context, clinically relevant parameters improved over the course of the study period. Pharmaceutical care programs such as this can begin the process of translating the findings of large and expensive clinical trials into standard clinical practice.

Monografia apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Medicina Dentária
O objectivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, através da literatura, as possíveis associações entre diabetes e doença periodontal. A expressão “doença periodontal” é usada para designar, um conjunto de manifestações patológicas que afectam as estruturas de suporte dos dentes e caracteriza-se clinicamente por sintomas e sinais como inflamação, bolsas de profundidade variável à sondagem, perda de inserção, recessão gengival e mobilidade dentária. Estudos epidemiológicos permitiram identificar múltiplos factores de risco para a doença periodontal, entre os quais se incluem bactérias, nível baixo de higiene oral, envelhecimento, tabagismo, factores genéticos e certas doenças ou afecções sistémicas, designadamente a diabetes. A associação de diabetes mellitus com a doença periodontal foi amplamente investigada nos últimos anos. As evidências sugerem que a diabetes e a doença periodontal se relacionam por duas vias: a infecção periodontal crónica aumenta a gravidade da diabetes e complica o controlo metabólico e a diabetes diminui a resposta do hospedeiro à infecção periodontal. Considerando esta relação entre as duas patologias, os diabéticos devem ser objecto de cuidados especiais no âmbito da Medicina Oral e, particularmente quanto aos cuidados preventivos de saúde periodontal. The objective of the present work is to do a literature review these problable interrelationships between diabetes and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a generic expression used to name a variety of periodontium pathological manifestations that affect the tooth functional support structures and is characterized by inflammatory signs, periodontal pockets, epithelical adherence loss, gingival recession, and tooth mobility. Epidemiological studies identified multiple risk factors for the periodontal illness, including bacteria, low level of oral hygiene, genetic factors, aging, tobacco use, gender, socio-economic status and certain systemic conditions like diabetes mellitus. The association between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease has been widely investigated in the last two decades. Scientific evidence suggests that there´s a two-way relationship between diabetes mellitus and periodontitis, in one way diabetes increase infection susceptibility and in reverse way periodontal chronic infection severity and makes metabolic control more difficult. Considering the relationship between these two pathologies, diabetic patients should be object of special oral care and keep a good periodontal health.

Abstract:
Sammanfattning Diabetes mellitus karakteriseras av högt blodsocker och är ett samlingsnamn för olika diabetessjukdomar där typ 1-diabetes och typ 2-diabetes är de vanligaste sjukdomarna. Kroppens blodglukoshalter regleras av hormonet insulin som är ett nödvändigt hormon för att kroppens celler ska kunna ta upp kolhydrater, aminosyror och fett. Vid typ 1-diabetes förstörs bukspottkörtelns insulinproducerande betaceller av kroppens eget immunförsvar. Viktiga transplantationsmetoder för att återställa bukspottkörtelns endokrina funktion är pancreas- och öcellstransplantation som båda resulterat i främst minskade akuta hypoglykemier men även förbättrade blodsockervärden och insulinfrihet. Pancreastransplantation är en mer riskfylld operation jämfört med öcellstransplantation och studier har visat på mer postoperativa komplikationer men längre och högre insulinfrihet hos patienter som genomgått pancreastransplantation. Tanken utvecklades till att jämföra litteratur som behandlar studier som jämför pancreas- och öcellstransplantation hos diabetiker avseende komplikationer, glukoskontroll och insulinfrihet. Syftet med arbetet var att göra en jämförelse mellan litteratur som behandlar pancreastransplantation respektive öcellstransplantation hos patienter med diabetes mellitus för att utröna vilken behandling som ger minst komplikationer och behov av insulinbehandling efter transplantation och en uppföljningstid på minst 1 år. Litteraturstudien baseras på 6 kohortstudier som alla erhölls via databasen PubMed. Studierna är utförda i Schweiz, USA, Tjeckien, Kanada och utgår från i grunden samma frågeställning men har delvis olika patienturval och metoder. Studie 2 och studie 5 har betydligt högre studiepopulation än övriga studier vilket ger högre bevisvärde för resultatet i dessa studier. Resultatsammanställningen visar att på både kort och lång sikt är komplikationsrisken betydligt större hos patienter efter pancreastransplantation jämfört med öcellstransplantation. Allvarliga, omedvetna hypoglykemier, som är livshotande tillstånd, är ovanliga hos patienter efter båda typerna av transplantation. På både kort och lång sikt visar pancreastransplanterade patienter betydligt lägre HbA1c-värden och betydligt högre C-peptidvärden jämfört med öcellstransplanterade patienter. Resultatet visar, i linje med tidigare resultat, att insulinfriheten består hos fler pacreastransplanterade patienter och under längre tid jämfört med öcellstransplanterade patienter. Efter 5 år är >50% av pancreastransplanterade patienter insulinfria medan motsvarande siffra hos öcellstransplanterade patienter är <10%.För att besvara syftet har litteraturstudien visat att vid jämförelse mellan litteratur som behandlar pancreastransplantation respektive öcellstransplantation hos patienter med diabetes mellitus ger öcellstransplantation minst akuta komplikationer men pancreastransplantation högst insulinfrihet, minst behov av insulinbehandling, efter transplantation och en uppföljningstid på minst ett år.
Abstract Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia and is a collective name for different diabetic diseases. Type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are the most common diseases. Insulin, which is the regulatory hormone for the body`s blood glucose levels, is necessary for the body`s cells to be able to absorb nutrition like carbohydrates, amino acids and fat. In type 1 diabetes the pancreas insulin-producing beta cells are destroyed by the body`s own immune system. Important transplantation methods to restore pancreatic endocrine function are whole pancreas transplantation and islet transplantation. Both methods of transplantation mainly decreased acute hypoglycaemia and improved blood sugar levels and insulin therapy. Pancreas transplantation is a more risky operation compared to islet transplantation. Patients who have gone through pancreatic transplantation in general have shown more postoperative complications but at the same time also longer periods without insulin therapy compared to patients who have gone through islet transplantation. The aim of this study was to make a comparison between literature dealing with pancreatic transplantation and islet transplantation regarding complications, glucose control and insulin requirements with a follow-up time of at least 1 year. The literature study is based on 6 cohort studies, all obtained through the PubMed database. The studies were conducted in Switzerland, USA, Czech Republic, Canada and are basically based on the same question but have partly different patient selection and methods. Study 2 and study 5 have a significantly higher study population than other studies, which gives higher evidence of the results of these studies. The results compilation shows that in both the short and the long term, the risk of complications is significantly greater in patients after pancreatic transplantation compared to islet transplantation. In both the short and long term, pancreatic transplant patients show significantly lower HbA1c values and significantly higher C-peptide values compared to islet transplant patients. Severe unconscious hypoglycaemia is a life-threatening condition. However, severe unconscious hypoglycaemia is uncommon in patients after both types of transplantation. The result shows, in line with previous results, that insulin freedom persists in higher number of pancreatic transplant patients and for longer period of time compared to islet transplant patients. After 5 years >50% of pancreatic transplant patients are insulin free while the corresponding number in islet transplant patients is <10%. In summary, data presented in this literature study show that islet transplantation give less acute complications, but that whole pancreas transplantation results in better glucose control for a longer time period.

As the prevalence of GDM increases, it is increasingly important to identify subgroups of women within the GDM umbrella whose pathophysiology and associated pregnancy risk necessitates a different management approach in order to optimise maternal and neonatal outcomes. Glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY) and islet autoimmunity are two such clinical entities. Recently, new pregnancy-specific screening criteria (NSC) for GCK-MODY were proposed to identify women with GDM who warrant GCK genetic testing. We tested the NSC and HbA1c in a multiethnic GDM cohort. The prevalence of GCK-MODY in women with GDM was ~1%. The NSC performed well for Anglo-Celtic women, but less well for women from other ethnic backgrounds. Antepartum HbA1c was not higher in those with GCK-MODY. We report the first two cases of antepartum fetal GCK genotyping and demonstrate how knowledge of fetal GCK genotype guides the management of maternal hyperglycaemia. We examined the prevalence, clinical significance and antepartum to post-partum trajectory of glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADA), insulinoma-associated antigen-2 autoantibodies (IA-2A), insulin autoantibodies (IAA) and zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies (ZnT8A) in a multiethnic GDM cohort. 9.9% of women were positive for one islet autoantibody antepartum. No participant had multiple islet autoantibodies. ZnT8A were the most common islet autoantibody. For women with positive GADA, IA-2A or IAA antepartum, islet autoantibody positivity typically persisted post-partum and 20% of women had post-partum glucose levels consistent with diabetes. In contrast, women with positive ZnT8A antepartum typically demonstrated normal ZnT8A titres post-partum and normal post-partum glucose tolerance. ZnT8A may be a marker for islet autoimmunity in a proportion of women with GDM, but the clinical relevance of ZnT8A in GDM needs further research.

Abstract:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can affect up to 1 in 5 of pregnancies and is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including pre-eclampsia, neonatal hypoglycaemia, large for gestational age, increased adiposity and birth trauma. Good glycaemic control is the key to reduce these outcomes. Diet and lifestyle modification followed by insulin as necessary is the conventional type of management. Metformin is increasingly used in pregancy but with limited evidence, its role in GDM has not been well-established. A systematic review including both randomized and non-randomized controlled studies have been conducted to evaluate the contemporary evidence of metformin in GDM. It is suggested that metformin in GDM could be a useful alternative to insulin and is regarded as the best oral anti-hyperglycaemic agent in GDM management currently. However, almost half of metformin-treated GDM patients required supplementary insulin to achieve target glucose levels (metformin failure). Women with higher metabolic risk factors are likely to develop metformin failure. A clinical cohort of metformin-treated GDM is used to develop the predictive model to identify GDM women who are at risk of metformin failure. It has been found that women identified by new IADPSG and NICE 2015 fasting criteria are highly likely to develop metformin failure. It has also been established a number of algorithm based on various baseline characters of GDM women which will help primary healthcare physicians choose the best medication for GDM management. One of the possible side-effects of metformin includes lowering of serum vitamin B12 levels whereas serum vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy which is associated with increased insulin resistance. It is reported that in low vitamin B12 state, offspring’s insulin resistance is found to be higher among women with high folate low B12 state. Hence, in order to fully appreciate the role of vitamin B12 deficiency in metformin failure, it is first necessary to understand the effects of folate in low vitamin B12 condition on pregnancy outcomes in GDM. It has also been found that in normal vitamin B12 GDM women, serum folate levels are negatively associated with plasma glucose levels but not low B12 state. This underlines the fact that in order for folate to have its role, it is important to have normal vitamin B12 levels. Despite increasing use of metformin, it is not yet routine to check vitamin B12 levels before it is given. It is important to understand whether vitamin B12 has a role in metformin action. Thus, the mechanism by which vitamin B12 deficiency might interfere with metformin action was studied. In vitamin B12 deficient hepatocytes, metformin stimulation of AMPK was reduced which was followed by reduced downstream signalling in lipid metabolism. This effects were reversed by vitamin B12 supplementation. Thus, it is concluded that vitamin B12 deficiency could interfere with metformin action and before metformin is given, every GDM woman should be checked for serum vitamin B12 levels and should be supplemented if deficient. Overall, vitamin B12 could play a critical role in GDM management and it is important for every GDM woman to have normal vitamin B12 levels.

Abstract:
People with diabetes mellitus are more likely to die from cardiovascular causes than those without diabetes, and modifiable risk factors, such as hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension can be targeted in intervention programs to decrease this risk. In addition to tertiary care for patients with diabetes, there is a need for simple programs to be implemented in the community that allow the benefits of improved metabolic and blood pressure control to be realised more widely. Pharmaceutical care comprises the detection, prevention and solution of drug-related problems in a quantifiable form, so that outcomes of care can be easily reviewed and monitored. Previous studies of pharmaceutical care programs in patients with diabetes do not provide conclusive evidence of the benefit of pharmaceutical care. The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients with diabetes mellitus in an Australian context. In order to develop a pharmaceutical care program, the characteristics of an Australian cohort of patients with diabetes were reviewed. The Fremantle Diabetes Study (FDS), was a community-based prospective observational study of diabetes care, control and complications in a postcode-defined region of 120 097 people surrounding the port city of Fremantle in Western Australia. It was intended that the FDS annual reviews would provide important local information in order to design and implement a prospective pharmaceutical care program. A pilot pharmaceutical care program was subsequently developed for use in a diabetes outpatient clinic. This program was then modified for use in a community-based sample of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, drawn from the FDS cohort.Demographic parameters, including ethnicity and treatment details, were reviewed at study entry for the full FDS cohort and then over time for a subset of patients that returned for four subsequent annual assessments. Insulin use was more common in patients of Southern European origin compared with the Anglo-Celt group irrespective of the level of glycaemia, at baseline. This difference persisted during subsequent follow-up but was not associated with improved glycaemic control. These findings demonstrated that there are important ethnic differences in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The pilot pharmaceutical care program was carried out in high-risk diabetes mellitus patients attending a hospital outpatient clinic. The patients had poor glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and/or were on three or more prescription medications. In the pharmaceutical care arm, a clinical pharmacist reviewed and monitored all aspects of the patients' drug therapy in collaboration with other health care professionals at six weekly intervals for six months. The control patients received usual outpatient care. Seventy-three patients were recruited into the study, of whom 48 (66%) were randomised to receive pharmaceutical care. One in six patients was taking complementary medicines. The pharmaceutical care program provided patients with important medication information that resulted in changes to drug therapy. However, the six-month program did not lead to an improvement in glycaemic control. The next phase of the study adapted the pilot hospital-based pharmaceutical care program to a community-based setting.Two hundred and two type 2 diabetes mellitus FDS patients were recruited, of whom 101 (50%) were randomised to the pharmaceutical care program, and all were followed for 12-months. There were significant reductions in risk factors associated with coronary heart disease in the case but not the control group over time, specifically glycaemic control, lipid levels, and blood pressure. Glycosylated haemoglobin fell from 7.5% to 7.0% (P<0.0001), total cholesterol fell from 5 mmol/L to 4.6 mmol/L (P<0.0001), systolic blood pressure fell from 158 mmHg to 143 mmHg (P<0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure fell from 77mmHg to 71mmHg (P<0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that pharmaceutical care program involvement was an independent predictor of benefit after adjustment for key variables. The 10-year coronary heart disease risk for patients without a previous coronary event was reduced by 4.6% over the 12-month study period in the pharmaceutical care group (P<0.0001), while there was no change in the controls (P=0.23). This phase of the study showed that medium-term individualised pharmaceutical care reduced vascular risk factors in a community-based cohort of patients with diabetes and that provision of a multifactorial intervention can improve health outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus. As part of the pharmaceutical care program, a high level of complementary medicine use was found. As a result, a study of complementary medicine use was undertaken in 351 patients from the FDS. A convenience sample of FDS patients was interviewed regarding their use of complementary medicines. A literature search was conducted to assess the potential impact of these medicines on diabetes, concomitant medications or diabetes-related co-morbidities.Eighty-three of 351 (23.6%) patients with diabetes had consumed at least one complementary medicine in the previous year and 42% (77/183) of the products potentially necessitated additional patient monitoring or could be considered potentially inappropriate for a diabetic patient. The data indicated the need for patient disclosure of complementary medicine use and adequate monitoring for complementary medicine-related adverse events, as part of the pharmaceutical care process. The pharmaceutical care model was established to provide a framework by which drug use could be improved to enhance patients' clinical and health-related quality of life outcomes. For the present study, a straightforward pharmaceutical care program was adapted from a hospital setting to a community setting, where the principal requirement was a clinical pharmacist who had completed a self-directed diabetes-training program. In this context, clinically relevant parameters improved over the course of the study period. Pharmaceutical care programs such as this can begin the process of translating the findings of large and expensive clinical trials into standard clinical practice.

Abstract:
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), one of the leading causes of blindness in developed countries, is the major microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have demonstrated that the alteration of glial cells and the consequent loss of retinal neuronal cells occur before the vascular lesions are clinically detectable. Purpose: To find early biomarkers of glial activation in the aqueous humor (AH) of diabetic patients both in presence and in absence of clinically detectable signs ofDR. Materials and methods:During cataract surgery, 34 patients’ AH samples were collected as follows: 12 healthy subjects, 11 diabetic patients without DR and 11 diabetic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (5 without macular edema-ME and 6 with ME). Before surgery, full ophthalmic examination and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) (Spectralis HRA+OCT, Heildeberg Engineering) were performed in all eyes. The samples were analyzed for the quantification of total proteins by Bradford method, of GFAP, AQP1 and AQP4 by ELISA and of 40 inflammatory cytokines by protein array. Segmentation of retinal layers was also performed. Results:Mean concentration of GFAP, AQP1 e AQP4 was significantly increased in diabetics versus controls (324.44±262.54pg/µg vs 182.34±114.44pg/µg for GFAP; 105.72±15.69pg/µg vs 50.92±20.36pg/µg for AQP1; and 852.03+103.24pg/µg vs 33.58±21.20pg/µg for AQP4, p<0.05). GFAP showed an approximate 0.8 fold increase, AQP1 1.1 fold increase, whereas AQP4 about 24 folds increase in diabetic patients versus controls. When we separately evaluated DR-no ME eyes vs DR-ME eyes, there was a significant decrease in GFAP, AQP1 e AQPR in DR-ME eyes versus DR-no ME eyes, (Tukey Kramer post hoc p<0.05). GFAP and AQP1 showed even a slight fold decrease versus controls. AQP4/AQP1 concentration showed weak and non significant correlation (Tau=0.21, p=0.3) between these biomarkers, despite the trend in increase.Following cytokines were increased in diabetic patients (with or without DR) compared to healthy subjects: GFAP, AQP1, AQP4, IFNy, IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-3, IL-4, IL-10, IL-11, IL-17, TNF-α, TNF-ß, MCP1, MCP2, Eotaxin,Eotaxin 2, RANTES, sTNFRII, GM-CSF, IP-10, MIP1a, MIP1b. RNFL mean thickness was significantly higher in diabetic patients with DR and ME compared to diabetics without ME (both with and without DR) and healthy subjects (respectively 37.3 μm vs 24.3μm vs 26μm 5μm vs 26.8μm), and the same significance was observed in the inner (33.4μm vs 22.0μm vs 25.0μm 24.3μm) and the external (54.7μm vs 36.7μm 34.6μm 38.1μm) rings and in the superior (40.3μm vs. 26.1μm vs 29.2μm vs 29.5μm), inferior (44.3μm vs 27.2μm vs 29.1μm vs 30.1μm) and temporal (26.3μm vs 16.8μm vs 18.9μm vs 18.0μm) sectors.RNFL mean thickness was significantly reduced in diabetics with DR and without ME compared to healthy subjects. Conclusions: 23 different biomarkers of glial activation have been recognized in the AH of diabetic patients even with subclinical DR. These proteins could be used in the future as risk markers of occurrence of DR and could provide useful therapeutic targets for its prevention and therapy.
Presupposti dello studio: La retinopatia diabetica (RD), una delle principali cause di cecità nei paesi sviluppati, costituisce la più comune complicanza microvascolare del diabete mellito. Recenti studi hanno dimostrato che l’alterazione delle cellule gliali e la conseguente perdita di quelle neuronali si verificano prima che le lesioni vascolari siano clinicamente rilevabili. Scopo dello studio: Lo scopo dello studio è quello di ricercare biomarkers precoci di attivazione gliale nell’umore acqueo di soggetti diabetici non solo in presenza di segni clinicamente rilevabili di RD, ma anche in loro assenza. Materiali e metodi: In corso di intervento di cataratta, sono stati raccolti i campioni di umore acqueo di 34 pazienti così suddivisi: 12 soggetti sani, 11 pazienti diabetici senza retinopatia diabetica e 11 con retinopatia diabetica non proliferante (di cui 5 senza edema maculare e 6 con edema maculare-ME). Prima dell’intervento, tutti i pazienti sono stati sottoposti a visita oftalmologica completa e tomografia a coerenza ottica di tipo spectral domain (SD-OCT) (Spectralis HRA+OCT, Heildeberg Engineering). Nei 34 campioni è stata effettuata la quantificazione delle proteine totali con metodo Bradford, di GFAP, AQP1 ed AQP4 con test ELISA e di 40 citochine infiammatorie con protein array. E’ stata, inoltre, effettuata la segmentazione degli strati retinici sulle scansioni SD-OCT. Risultati: I valori medi delle concentrazioni di GFAP, AQP1 e AQP4nell’umore acqueo sono risultati significativamente più elevati nei soggetti diabetici rispetto ai controlli sani (p<0.05). L’incremento di GFAP e’ stato di circa 0.8 volte, di AQP1 di 1.1 volte e di AQP4 di circa 24 volte nei soggetti diabetici rispetto ai controlli. Le concentrazioni di GFAP, AQP1 e AQP4 sono risultate significativamente ridotte nei soggetti diabetici con ME rispetto ai diabetici senza ME, (Tukey Kramer post hoc, p<0.05). La concentrazione nell’umore acqueo, è risultata significativamente maggiore nei pazienti diabetici (con e senza RD) rispetto ai soggetti sani per le seguenti citochine: GFAP, AQP1, AQP4, IFNy, IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-3, IL-4, IL-10, IL-11, IL-17, TNF- α, TNF-ß, MCP1, MCP2, Eotaxin, Eotaxin 2, RANTES, sTNFRII, GM-CSF, IP-10, MIP1a, MIP1b.Lo spessore maculare medio di RNFL è risultato significativamente maggiore nei pazienti diabetici con RD e ME rispetto ai diabetici senza ME (con e senza RD) ed ai soggetti sani; lo stesso rapporto è stato osservato negli anelli interno ed esterno e nei settori superiore, inferiore e temporale. Lo spessore maculare medio di RNFL è risultato significativamente ridotto nei diabetici con RD e senza ME rispetto ai soggetti sani. Conclusioni: Sono stati riconosciuti nell’umore acqueo di soggetti diabetici 23 diversi biomarkers proteici di attivazione gliale presenti sin dallo stadio subclinico della RD. Questi potranno essere utilizzati in futuro come marcatori di rischio per l’insorgenza di tale complicanza microvascolare e costituire degli utili bersagli terapeutici per la sua prevenzione e cura.

Abstract:

Diabetes typ 2 är en kronisk sjukdom som är en av Sveriges största folksjukdomar med cirka 300 000 drabbade personer, ett stort mörkertal bär utan vetskap på sjukdomen. Diabetes typ 2 ökar kraftigt bland befolkningen i såväl Sverige som i övriga länder. Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att belysa faktorer som är av betydelse för följsamhet vid egenvård hos personer med diabetes typ 2. Denna litteraturstudie baseras på 14 vetenskapliga artiklar varav nio är kvantitativ och fem är kvalitativa publicerades mellan år 2003-2008. Artiklarna analyserades och resulterade i fyra kategorier:Relationer där stöd var den största faktorn, Livsperspektiv vilket innefattar kulturell bakgrund och förnekelse, Lidande med ilska och frustration över att drabbats av sjukdom och Kunskap som innefattade brist på förståelse och kunskap om sjukdomen och dess behandling. Genom kontinuerlig egenvårdsorienterad utbildning med individen i fokus och med stöd och förståelse från omgivningen gynnades patientens egenvård. Ökade kunskaper hos vårdpersonalen om hur människor med diabetes upplever sin livssituation kan bidra till utveckling och förbättring av

omvårdnaden. Vårdgivarens uppgift blir att motivera och uppmuntra patientens till livsstilsförändring.

Abstract:
Several methods have been proposed to evaluate a person's insulin sensitivity (ISI). However, all are neither easy nor inexpensive to implement. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a new ISI that can be easily and accurately obtained by patients themselves without costly, time consuming and inconvenient testing methods. In this thesis, the proposed testing method has been simulated on the computerized model of the type II diabetic-patients to estimate the ISI. The proposed new ISI correlates well with the ISI called M-value obtained from the gold standard but elaborate euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp (r = 0.927, p = 0.0045). In this research, using a stochastic nonlinear state-space model, the insulin-glucose dynamics in type II diabetes mellitus is modeled. If only a few blood glucose and insulin measurements per day are available in a non-clinical setting, estimating the parameters of such a model is difficult. Therefore, when the glucose and insulin concentrations are only available at irregular intervals, developing a predictive model of the blood glucose of a person with type II diabetes mellitus is important. To overcome these difficulties, under various levels of randomly missing clinical data, we resort to online Sequential Monte Carlo estimation of states and parameters of the state-space model for type II diabetic patients. This method is efficient in monitoring and estimating the dynamics of the peripheral glucose, insulin and incretins concentration when 10%, 25% and 50% of the simulated clinical data were randomly removed. Variabilities such as insulin sensitivity, carbohydrates intake, exercise, and more make controlling blood glucose level a complex problem. In patients with advanced TIIDM, the control of blood glucose level may fail even under insulin pump therapy. Therefore, building a reliable model-based fault detection (FD) system to detect failures in controlling blood glucose level is critical. In this thesis, we propose utilizing a validated robust model-based FD technique for detecting faults in the insulin infusion system and detecting patients organ dysfunction. Our results show that the proposed technique is capable of detecting disconnection in insulin infusion systems and detecting peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance.

Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus typ 2 är en kronisk sjukdom som ökar allt mer i Sverige och i övriga världen. Att få diagnosen diabetes innebär för patienten en svår upplevelse och förknippas ofta med komplikationer, vilket leder till upplevelsen av försämrad livskvalitet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva hur diabetes typ 2 patienter upplever sin livskvalitet. Frågeställningen var vilka faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten såväl positivt som negativt. Artikelsökningen i databaserna PubMed, Cinahl och Medline resulterade i totalt 12 vetenskapliga artiklar som behandlade ämnet och svarade på studiens syfte och frågeställning. I resultaten framgick att socialt stöd, egenvård, diabeteskomplikationer, psykologiska faktorer samt socioekonomiska faktorer påverkade patienternas livskvalitet på olika sätt. Sjuksköterskor behöver öka sina kunskaper om faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten och att öka förståelsen för patienterna. Genom patientundervisning och information, stöd, patientengagemang i egenvården samt uppmuntran till uppföljning av den kommer sjuksköterskan att bidra till en lyckad sjukdomsbehandling och att patienten bibehåller eller stärker sin livskvalitet.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic disease increasing in Sweden as well as worldwide. To be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes means a difficult experience and it is often associated with complications, leading to the perception of decreased quality of life. The purpose of this literature review was to describe how type 2 diabetes patients experience their quality of life. The question was which factors that affect the healthrelated quality of life in both positive and negative ways. Search for scientific articles in the databases PubMed, Cinahl and Medline resulted in a total of twelve scientific articles on the subject that answered the study's purpose and question. The results showed that social support, self care, diabetes complications, psychological factors and socio-economic factors affected patients' quality of life in different ways. Nurses need to increase their knowledge about factors that affect quality of life and increase understanding of patients. Through patient education and information, support, patient involvement in self care and encouragement to follow-up self care behaviours can the nurse contribute to a successful disease treatment and the patient maintain or increase their quality of life.

Abstract:
The aim of this literature study has been to investigate the general nurse's knowledge of diabetes type 1 and its complications. The questions were: What does the general nurse need to know about diabetes type 1? What does the general nurse know about diabetes type 1? To answer these questions, a literature study has been done of 8 scientific articles. The theoretical reference study on which the study has been based is Gustafsson's SAUK Model for affirmative nursing care. The result shows that the nurse lacks knowledge in the nursing care of diabetes patients and this reflects the fact that little research has been done on diabetes mellitus type 1 in recent years. The result also shows that guidelines for diabetes serve as a useful implement for keeping knowledge alive and for performing good nursing care.
Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att ta reda på allmänsjuksköterskans kunskaper om diabetes mellitus typ 1 och dess komplikationer. Frågeställningarna är: Vad behöver allmänsjuksköterskan veta om diabetes typ 1? Vad vet allmänsjuksköterskan om diabetes typ 1? För att besvara dessa frågeställningar görs en litteraturstudie med hjälp av 8 vetenskapliga artiklar. Den teoretiska referensram som ligger till grund för studien är Gustafssons SAUK- modell för bekräftande omvårdnad. Resultatet visar på att det finns brist på kunskap hos sjuksköterskan inom omvårdnad av patienter med diabetes. I resultatet speglas att det finns lite forskning gjord på diabetes mellitus typ 1 de senaste åren. Den visar även på att riktlinjer för diabetes är ett bra redskap för att hålla kunskaper vid liv och bedriva en god omvårdnad.

Estudo qualitativo que teve como objetivo compreender como as pessoas constroem a experiência de viver com diabetes mellitus, inspirado no pensamento interpretativista de Clifford Geertz e Arthur Kleinman, utilizando a análise de narrativas. Para chegar a compreensão da experiência, foram realizadas entrevistas, cuja análise revelou que ao reconstituírem suas vivências, as pessoas apresentam o diabetes como doença complexa, difícil de conviver, que infiltra-se em suas vidas, trazendo conseqüências ruins e ameaçando o futuro. A análise das representações narrativas, mostraram cinco diferentes modos pelos quais as pessoas controem a experiência de viver com o diabetes: viver sem prazeres, viver mantendo o diabetes sob controle, viver na esperança de uma vida melhor, viver em conflito e viver como se não tivesse diabetes. As histórias que as pessoas contam sobre suas vidas e sobre como é viver com diabetes, representam a expressão de uma experiência que foi sendo construída nas interações sociais, nas análises compartilhadas sobre os acontecimentos vividos e nas versões reelaboradas desses acontecimentos. Estes resultados confirmaram a tese que O diabetes mellitus e seus significados são elaborados pelas pessoas no percurso do seu processo de viver e podem diversificar de acordo com suas experiências pessoais e culturais.

Abstract:
Com o objetivo de verificar se as proteínas do sistema GH-IGF-IGFBP e o receptor do fator de crescimento insulina símile tipo I (IGF-IR) estão envolvidos na etiopatogenia do Diabetes Melito tipo 1 (DM1) , foram estudados 23 pacientes prépúberes portadores de DM1 em diferentes fases do diagnóstico (Grupo A: tempo de diagnóstico <= 6 meses; Grupo B: tempo de diagnóstico > 6 meses) e 10 indivíduos pré-púberes sadios como grupo controle (Grupo C). A expressão do mRNA do IGFIR realizada através do ensaio molecular de RT-PCR nos linfócitos periféricos T e B não demonstrou diferenças estatisticamente significantes nos linfócitos T quando comparados indivíduos diabéticos e controles, sugerindo que a ativação imunológica destas células seja independente da ação do IGF-IR. Observou-se uma maior expressão do mRNA do IGF-IR dos linfócitos B de pacientes diabéticos em relação ao grupo controle (p < 0,05). A avaliação das proteínas do sistema GH-IGF-IGFBP não demonstrou diferença estatística significante entre os grupos. Estes achados, associados à presença de auto-anticorpos para o DM1 (ICA, anti-GAD e anti-IA2) sugerem fortemente o papel do IGF-IR na ativação dos linfócitos B envolvidos na etiopatogenia do DM1
Aiming to verify if GH-IGF-IGFBP proteins system and insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR) are implicated on pathofisiology of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1), we studied 23 prepubertal patients with DM1 on different stages of diagnosis (Group A: time of diagnosis <= 6 months; Group B: time of diagnosis > 6 months) and 10 prepubertal healthy subjects as control group (Group C). The RT-PCR molecular assay for IGF-IR mRNA on peripheral T and B lymphocytes didn\'t show statistical differences between the groups when T cells were analyzed. We found an increase of IGF-IR mRNA expression on B cells from diabetic patients when compared to healthy subjects (p< 0,05). There were no differences in the GH-IGF-IGFBP proteins system levels between the groups. Our study suggest that IGF-IR in association with diabetes-related autoantibodies (ICA, anti-GAD and anti-IA2) presence could activate B cells involved on pathofisiology of DM1

Abstract:
This theses on Diabetes Mellitus aims at giving an insight at various aspects of this chronic disease and the risk factors that lead to it; the varius ways it develops in the human body; the old and new approaches to treatment, both from a pharmacological and a non- pharmacologiacal point of view; ways to prevent and to manage the diabetes complications; how to improve the live of the diabetic patients who are faced with not only physical but also psychological problems; statistical data from around the world wkich focuses on epidemiology and outlines the issue of the cost of diabetes. Finally, this paper links diabetes mellitus with the Alzheimer's disease as a different expression of diabetes, since it is closely associated with several key neuronal factors implicated in dementia. In many respects, Alzheimer's is a brain form of diabetes. Even in the earliest stages of the disease, the brain's ability to metabolize sugar is reduced. Normally, insulin plays a big role in helping the brain take up sugar from the blood. But, in Alzheimer's, insulin is not very effective in the brain. Consequently, the brain cells practically starve to death.

Abstract:
DM is metabolic disorder characterized with hyperglycaemia at absolute shortage of endogenous insulin (DM1T), or at its relative shortage (DM2T). DM1T is a symptom of B-cell destruction in islets of pancreas Langerhans that occurs mostly on autoimmune basis. Lack of insulin results in disorder of glucose use and in increased catabolism of fat and proteins. The result of this disorder is hyperglycaemia, glycosuria, polyuria, thirst, eventually ketoacidotic coma. DM2T which prevalence is continuously increasing represents significant medical, social and economic problem. DM2T develops due to insulin resistance and later due to insufficient insulin secretion after each meal. Insulin resistance mostly develops in connection with obesity. In the course of disorder the defect of insulin secretion gradually worsens and micro and macro vascular complications develops that are the most frequent cause of death of patient suffering from the disorder. Diabetes treatment is of complicated and complex nature that has to be based on simultaneous intensive therapy, prevention, collaboration with patient, education, individual adjustment of treatment and therapeutic goals. The Czech Republic belongs to a few countries where diabetology as an independent branch of medicine exists. The goal of treatment is to ensure...

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this dissertation was to compare the efficiency of an insulin pump and an intensified insulin regime on atherosclerosis markers - especially the lipid spectrum in patients with diabetes mellitus. INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is an illness developing in an increasing number of persons. The aim of diabetes mellitus type 1 treatment is to compensate the symptoms of this pathology in an effort to postpone or reduce the complications of the illness. In diabetes patients, complications connected with atherosclerosis are very common. These consequences of diabetes become the most common cause of death of patients. The insulin pump and the intensified insulin regime are strategies with the help of which doctors attempt to influence the development of complications associated with diabetes. The choice between these two procedures is still under heated discussion. METHODS: At work we compared 50 patients treated with the insulin pump and 50 who had an intensified insulin regime. We compared the lipid spectrum, glycosylated hemoglobin, BMI, number of insulin units per day, and complications in both groups. We also studied the connection between this illness and diseases of the thyroid gland, or smoking. We compared the possible differences based on gender. MAIN FINDINGS: We did...

Abstract:
A Diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crónica encontra-se em larga expansão em todo mundo. Pode surgir em qualquer idade, afetando todo organismo, inclusive a cavidade oral. Apresentando manifestações orais como: xerostomia, hiposalivação, cárie dentária e doença periodontal. Estas manifestações orais apresentam maior incidência em pacientes com mau controlo glicémico, por esse motivo a melhor forma de prevenir as complicações orais associadas a diabetes é o controlo glicémico rigoroso seguindo as instruções do endocrinologista. O médico dentista deve fazer parte da equipa multidisciplinar para o acompanhamento do paciente diabético, dessa forma, oferecer acompanhamento médico completo reduzindo as complicações gerais e orais associadas à doença em questão. Na revisão bibliográfica presente destacamos as crianças diabéticas e abordamos a saúde oral da criança diabética e a importância do médico dentista para garantir um tratamento completo ao paciente diabético. Para a elaboração deste trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos científicos no período de março a setembro de 2018, nos motores de pesquisa: B-ON, Pubmed, Science Direct, Google académico, Scielo, Lenus, Wiley online library e UNICID.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that is expanding all over the world. It can appear at any age, affecting every organism, including the oral cavity. Presenting oral manifestations as: xerostomia, hyposalivation, dental caries and periodontal disease. These oral manifestations have a higher incidence in patients with poor glycemic control, so the best way to prevent diabetes-related oral complications is through strict glycemic control following the instructions of the endocrinologist. It is advisable for the dentist to be part of the multidisciplinary team for the follow-up of the diabetic patient and thus to offer complete medical control reducing the general and oral complications associated with diabetes. In the present bibliographic review we highlight the diabetic children and we discuss oral health in diabetics children and the importance of the dentist to guarantee a complete treatment to the diabetic patient. For the elaboration of this work a bibliographical research of scientific articles was carried out from March to September of 2018, in the search engines: B-ON, PubMed, Science Direct, Academic Google, Scielo, Lenus, Wiley online library and UNICID.

A presente dissertação aborda a relação bidireccional entre a Diabetes Mellitus e a Peridontite. Para a realização do trabalho foi efectuada uma pesquisa electrónica na base de dados Google Académico, Pubmed, ScienceDirect e Cochrane. A periodontite é uma doença inflamatória crónica caracterizada pela destruição do periodonto. É altamente prevalente e pode ter um impacto significativamente negativo na qualidade de vida. A Diabetes Mellitus, principalmente se não controlada, encontra-se associada a um aumento da prevalência e severidade de periodontite. Da mesma forma, a inflamação periodontal compromete o controlo glicémico e encontra-se relacionada com um aumento da incidência de complicações diabéticas. Apesar da relação bidireccional entre a Diabetes Mellitus e a Periodontite se encontrar bem definida, os mecanismos que relacionam as duas doenças ainda não estão completamente compreendidos. Os principais mecanismos que se acredita estarem envolvidos no aumento do risco e gravidade de periodontite, em pacientes diabéticos, são mediados pelo estado hiperglicémico e pela acumulação de produtos finais de glicação avançada (AGEs), nos tecidos periodontais. O tratamento periodontal não-cirúrgico tem sido associado a melhorias no controlo glicémico, com reduções de HbA1c de, aproximadamente, 0.4%. A redução dos níveis de HbA1c encontra-se relacionada com a diminuição de complicações diabéticas. Por estas razões, a saúde oral deve ser promovida como um componente integrante do controlo da Diabetes Mellitus.
The present dissertation approaches the bidirectional relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Peridontitis. An electronic search, using Google Scholar, Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane, was made to accomplish this work. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of the periodontium. It is highly prevalent and can have a significantly negative impact on quality of life. Diabetes mellitus, especially if uncontrolled, is associated with an increase in the prevalence and severity of periodontitis. Similarly, periodontal inflammation compromises glycemic control and is related to an increased incidence of diabetic complications. Although the bidirectional relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis is well defined, the mechanisms that relate the two diseases are not still completely understood. The main mechanisms believed to be involved in the increased risk and severity of periodontitis in diabetic patients are mediated by the hyperglycemic state and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the periodontal tissues. Non-surgical periodontal treatment has been associated with improvements in glycemic control, with reductions in HbA1c of approximately 0.4%. The reduction of HbA1c levels is related to the reduction of diabetic complications. For these reasons, oral health should be promoted as an integral component of Diabetes Mellitus management.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Medicina Veterinária
A diabetes mellitus é uma doença metabólica de etiologia heterogénea, caracterizada por um aumento crónico da concentração de glicose no sangue devido a um defeito na produção de insulina ou falha na sua utilização a nível celular. A insulina é a base fundamental do tratamento da diabetes mellitus no cão, sendo factores coadjuvantes a dieta e o exercício. Os animais não tratados ou mal controlados podem sofrer complicações como a cetoacidose diabética. Este trabalho foi efectuado durante o estágio curricular no Centro Veterinário Valdelasfuentes e encontra-se estruturado em duas partes principais: revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema e apresentação de 4 casos clínicos, acompanhados durante o mesmo período. Tendo em conta o conhecimento teórico e prático adquiridos durante a realização deste trabalho, é possível concluir que o sucesso do tratamento depende essencialmente, do compromisso do proprietário em tratar a doença, da facilidade de regulação da glicemia, da presença de doenças concorrentes, assim como da prevenção de complicações crónicas relacionadas com a diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus consists of a group of metabolic diseases, with heterogenic etiology, that are characterized by a chronic excess of blood glucose concentration, resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Insulin is the cornerstone of therapy for Diabetes mellitus in dogs. Diet and exercise plays an integral role in the successful management of diabetic dog. Untreated animals or bad controlled ones can suffer complications as diabetic ketoacidosis. This work was performed during the curricular period in the Veterinary Center Valdelasfuentes and is structured in two main parts: bibliographical report and presentation of 4 case studies, accompanied during the same period. Based on practical and theoretical knowledge acquired during the achievement of this work, is possible to conclude that the success on handling this disease, depends essentially, on the owner commitment to treat the disease, on the facility of glucose regulation, on the presence of concurrent diseases, as well as the prevention of chronic complications related with the Diabetes mellitus.

The association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis (OT) is a controversial issue that has been investigated due to its high prevalence and incidence. Studies suggest that patients with DM1 and DM2 have an increased risk of fractures and that bone formation and bone microarchitecture are altered in both. The risk of fracture seems to be related to such factors as low skeletal bone density in DM1 and poor bone quality in DM2, but there are also extra-skeletal factors that increase the risk of falling. The metabolic mechanisms that may affect bone metabolism in DM are hypothetical and several studies have been done in this area that indicate the direct effects of insulin deficiency or insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in bone and bone marrow, advanced glycation end products (AGES) of matrix proteins bone, abnormal adipokine production and skeletal neuromuscular disorders as primarily responsible for the increased risk of fracture in individuals with DM. In addition to the literature review, a study was conducted in patients with T2DM followed regularly in Hospital Santa Maria. The factors known to mineral metabolism and bone metabolic disease, appears to be irrelevant. Thus, according to the data analyzed, it appears that in DM, the universal factors of mineral metabolism are no longer relevant because there would be something else more important, related to the disease.
A associação entre Diabetes mellitus (DM) e Osteoporose (OT) é um tema controverso e que tem sido investigado, devido à sua elevada prevalência e incidência. Os estudos sugerem que os doentes com DM1 e DM2 têm risco aumentado de fracturas e que a formação óssea e a microarquitectura óssea estão alterados em ambos. O risco de fractura parece estar relacionado com factores esqueléticos como a baixa densidade óssea na DM1 e a fraca qualidade óssea na DM2, mas também com factores extraesqueléticos com o aumento do risco de queda. Os mecanismos metabólicos que podem afectar o metabolismo ósseo na DM são hipotéticos e têm sido feitos vários estudos nesta área que apontam os efeitos directos da deficiência em insulina ou insulinorresistência e hiperglicémia no osso e medula óssea, produtos de glicação (AGES) das proteínas da matriz óssea, produção anormal de adipocina e perturbações neuromusculares esqueléticas como os principais responsáveis pelo aumento do risco de fractura em indivíduos com DM. Em complemento à revisão bibliográfica, procedeu-se a um estudo esploratório do metabolismo mineral nos doentes com DM2 seguidos regularmente na consulta de diabetes do Hospital de Santa Maria. Os factores conhecidos do metabolismo mineral e da doença metabólica óssea, parecem ser irrelevantes. Assim, segundo os dados analisados, parece que na DM, os factores universais do metabolismo mineral deixam de ser relevantes porque existiria outra coisa mais importante, relacionada com a doença.

This review is entitled “Diabetes Mellitus and Osteoporosis” and it focus the relationship between both pathologies, either Diabetes Mellitus secondary Osteoporosis, as well as Osteoporosis and Diabetes as comorbidities that lead to an increase in fracture risk, regarding the biological mechanisms that influence one and the other. Although diabetic metabolic changes are potential factors that influence bone metabolism and structure, as well as bone mineral density, their contribution to the fracture risk increment verified in individuals with both diabetes mellitus type 1 an type 2 is still subject of debate. A search has been made on the PubMed database, essentially literature written in the last 6/7 years that included Diabetes and Osteoporosis, with emphasis on bone metabolism but not leaving out fracture risk assessment. Additionally, the evidence based guidelines published by several international organizations had been appreciated too. The characteristic aspects of Diabetes Mellitus type 2 are focused, but some specifications of Diabetes Mellitus type 1 are also taken in consideration for the holisic comprehension of this pathology.
Este artigo de revisão tem como tema “Diabetes Mellitus e Osteoporose” focando-se na relação entre estas patologias, quer a Osteoporose secundária à Diabetes Mellitus, quer a Osteoporose e Diabetes como co-morbilidades que potenciam o risco de fractura, percebendo os mecanismos biológicos que as influenciam. Apesar das alterações metabólicas causadas pela diabetes serem potenciais factores que afectam o metabolismo, estrutura e densidade mineral ósseas, o seu contributo para o aumento do risco de fractura verificado em indivíduos com Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 e Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 é ainda alvo de discussão. Foi efectuada uma pesquisa da literatura publicada na base de dados da PubMed essencialmente nos últimos 6/7 anos que englobasse a Diabetes e a Osteoporose, com realce no metabolismo ósseo, não esquecendo o risco de fractura. Foram também revistas e apreciadas as “guidelines” baseadas na evidência, publicadas por diversas organizações internacionais. São focados os aspectos característicos da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, mas algumas especificidades da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 são também abordadas para uma compreensão mais completa desta patologia.
