Title : Age at diagnosis and duration of type 2 diabetes seen in Benin City, Nigeria Authors: A. E. Edo ; G. O. Edo, Author ; O. A. Ohenhen, Author ; N. P. Ekhator, Author ; W. C. Ordiah, Author Publisher: Cambridge [United Kingdom] : FSG Communications Ltd Publication Date: 2015 Series: African Journal of Diabetes Medicine, ISSN 1468-6570 No. 23(1) Pagination: p.18-19, fig. Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 1468-6570 Languages : English Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 - diagnosis Family Characteristics Patients Nigeria - Benin City Abstract: It has been reported that type 2 diabetes is occurring at an earlier age than previously. We have therefore studied the age at diagnosis and duration of type 2 diabetes among Nigerians. There were 732 patients studied, of whom 467 (64%) were female. Mean age was 58±11 years, and mean diabetes duration was 5±5 years. The commonest age at diagnosis was in the fifth decade and 69% of the patients had been diagnosed within the last 5 years. This may be due to increased rates of diagnosis of diabetes, or high mortality in those with a longer duration of diabetes.

Title : Association between serum insulin and uric acid concentrations in type 2 diabetic subjects in Nigeria Authors: Y. P. Mamza, Author ; B. R. Aladeusi, Author ; R. M. Gali, Author ; D. S. Mshelia, Author ; R. Y. Genesis, Author ; S. A. Habu, Author Publisher: Cambridge [United Kingdom] : FSG Communications Ltd Publication Date: 2017 Series: African Journal of Diabetes Medicine, ISSN 1468-6570 No. 16(2) Pagination: p.11-13, fig., tab. Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 1468-6570 Languages : English Keywords: Uric Acid Abstract: Diabetic patients who are hyperuricaemic appear to be at increased risk for developing diabetic complications, renal disease, and cardiovascular disease. The present study was undertaken to determine the association between serum insulin and uric acid concentrations in individuals with type 2 diabetes and control subjects attending the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) in Nigeria. One hundred and sixty (160) subjects with an age range of 30–75 years participated in the study: 100 confirmed type 2 diabetes subjects and 60 non-diabetic controls. A significantly (p<0.05) high mean serum insulin was observed in type 2 diabetes subjects as compared with controls (9.3±2.0 vs 5.1±0.6 μlU/L). No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in the mean serum uric acid of diabetic and control subjects (358±89 vs 334±66 μmol/L). There was a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.410; p<0.05) between serum insulin and uric acid levels in type 2 diabetes subjects.

Title : Bacteriological evaluation of diabetic ulcers in Nigeria Authors: F. A. Orji ; N. C. Nwachukwu, Author ; E. C. Udora, Author Publisher: Cambridge [United Kingdom] : FSG Communications Ltd Publication Date: 2009 Series: African Journal of Diabetes Medicine, ISSN 1468-6570 No. 17(2) Pagination: p.19-21, tab. Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 1468-6570 Languages : English Keywords: Diabetic Foot - therapy Diabetic Foot - mortality Bacterial Infections Anti-Bacterial Agents Nigeria - Enugu Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. The lesions are usually infected, and this study was carried out in Enugu State, Nigeria to determine the common bacterial pathogens that infect ulcers and their antimicrobial susceptibly patterns. Deep wound swabs were collected from 71 consecutive diabetic patients admitted with foot ulcers into the medical wards of University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu (26% of 274 total diabetes-related admissions). Polymicrobial isolates of Clostridium spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, or Klebsiella aerogenes were found in 26 (53%) cases. Clostridium species showed susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, and high resistance to beta-lactams. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella aerogenes showed resistance to the aminoglycosides and beta-lactams. All the gram-negative organisms showed significant susceptibility to the fluoroquinolones used. Clostridium species, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella aerogenes were the most common causes of diabetic foot infections in the study and the rates of antibiotic resistance were observed to be relatively high. Antibiotic susceptibility testing remains of paramount importance in the management of diabetic foot ulceration. Bacteriological evaluation of diabetic ulcers in Nigeria [] / F. A. Orji ; N. C.

Title : Blood glucose and serum lipid profiles during pregnancy Authors: C. N. Ekhator ; M. I. Ebomoyi, Author Publisher: Cambridge [United Kingdom] : FSG Communications Ltd Publication Date: 2012 Series: African Journal of Diabetes Medicine, ISSN 1468-6570 No. 20(1) Pagination: p.16-19, tab. Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 1468-6570 Languages : English Keywords: Blood Glucose Pregnant Women Pre-Eclampsia - prevention and control Cholesterol, LDL Nigeria - Benin City Abstract: Pregnancy is associated with significant changes in the functions of the normal liver and understanding these changes is essential to a proper clinical evaluation of liver abnormalities during pregnancy. This study aimed at determining blood glucose level, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the three trimesters of pregnancy among women in Benin City, Nigeria. This was a prospective cohort study, in which 50 blood samples were collected at each mid trimester of pregnancy. Controls were age-matched, non-pregnant women. Data were analysed using ANOVA and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results showed that glucose concentration was significantly higher in pregnant women than the control group, and it was highest in the third trimester of pregnancy. Lipid profile results showed that TG was significantly lower in the control group than in pregnant women. TG was highest in first trimester pregnancy and least in the control group. HDL was significantly lower in the first trimester than in the control group, second or third trimester. Delayed TG clearance is a function of increased blood TG levels and when this occurs with high blood pressure in pregnancy, it could lead to the development of pre-eclampsia. This association may be significant in understanding the process of pre-eclampsia and may help in developing strategies for prevention and early diagnosis of pre-eclampsia.
