ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence and the risk factors of anxiety or depression and in the first degree relatives (FDRs) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ). Methods A total of 102 T2DM patients who visited our hospital from May to July 2010 and their FDRs completed SAS,SDS,and life satisfaction evaluation. The medical history of T2DM patients was collected and compared with their FDRs with or without mental disorders. The correlations of risk factors with anxiety or depression were analyzed, t test or X2 test were used for statistical analysis and a P value less than 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results The incidence of anxiety or depression of FDRs was 31.4% and 17.6%,respectively. The life satisfaction score of FDRs with mental disorders was significantly decreased ( t = 4. 26 and 4. 09, P＜0. 05 ). Fasting glucose level of T2DM patients with anxious or depressive FDRs was significantly increased ( t = -2. 48 and -2. 15, P＜0. 05 ). Higher medical cost and multiple treatment strategies were positively correlated with SAS and SDS score of the FDRs. Conclusion Higher incidence of mental disorders and lower satisfaction scores could be found in the FDRs of T2DM patients. Better control of blood glucose and reduced treatment cost and strategies may be useful in improving metal condition and life satisfaction of the FDRs of T2DM patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effective of weight loss on blood glucose,lipid profile,and blood pressure in over-weight or obesity patients combined with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).Methods Body weight of 91 over-weight or obesity IGT patients were managed by doctors and nurses.Body weight,waist circumference,blood glucose,lipid profile,blood pressure and liver function of the patients were compared at 3 months with baseline.Results After 3 months' intervention,the levels of body weight,waist circumference,fasting plasma glucose,postprandial glucose,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and glutamie oxalacetie transaminase (COT),instead of triglyeeride and hish-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),were significantly reduced.Over weight or obesity IGT patients saw a 1.8 and 2.3 kg body weight loss,respectively.Decreased plasma glucose and blood pressure were found both in the over-weight group and in the obesity groups,but decreased waist circumference and GOT were found only in the over-weight patients.Conclusions Body-weight control may improve the blood glucose,blood pressure,central obesity,or fatty liver in over weight or obesity IGT patients.For those obesity patients,longer and stronger body weight control should be needed.
