Introduction: Acupuncture is a widely used technique for the treatment of diabetes
in Asian countries. Nevertheless, there are few studies with appropriate methodological
rigor evaluating its effectiveness and promoting a standardized procedure in the western
world. The FreeStyle libre glucose monitoring system has specific characteristics,
being diverse from the traditional monitoring methods. It does not require finger
prick and identifies glucose variations, especially nocturnal hypoglycemia.
Objectives: Evaluate the short-term effect of acupuncture in the treatment of type
2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) using the FreeStyle libre system.
Method: In a randomized, controlled, prospective, open-label trial, we randomly assigned
20 insulin independent DM2 patients to undergo acupuncture (group 1) or in the control
group (group 2). Participants should be between 20 and 75 years old, diagnosed with
DM2 for at least 3 years, and with stable glycemic control (evaluated through glycated
hemoglobin). Patients should not be in use of glucocorticoids or insulin, be pregnant
or have record of nephrotic syndrome, hepatic insufficiency, hyperthyroidism, acromegaly
or renal insufficiency. Demographic data, baseline characteristics, biochemical and
metabolic profiles were analyzed before the intervention. Participants underwent continuous
glucose monitoring for 14 days, period in which they did not change diet, exercise
or medication. Group 1 received acupuncture 4, 8 and 12 days after installation of
the monitoring system. The acupuncture treatment promotes energetic rebalance and,
in this study, diabetes-specific treatment points were used in all patients (B38,
IG4, R24, E36 e BP9). This trial was approved by the ethics committee (CAAE—60576616.6.0000.5572)
and registered at Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (UTN) is U1111-1199-9630.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics
(Table 1). In group 1, mean glucose level obtained through 14 days monitoring after
acupuncture treatment was 143 ± 28,8 mg/dl, whilst in group 2, who did not undergo
acupuncture, the mean level was 165.8 ± 30.2 mg/dl (p-0.015) (Fig. 1).

Conclusion: In this randomized pilot trial, there was an improvement in global glycemic
control during the 14 days of monitoring in the acupuncture group. Despite the small
sample of this trial, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics.
Further studies with larger cohorts should be performed.

Introduction: Real-world data on diabetes mellitus (DM) in Brazil is scarce. Given
the complexity of current DM management, an understanding of the disease profile is
essential to inform clinical and public health decisions.
Objective: We aimed to describe the proportion of T1DM and T2DM patients with HbA1c < 7.0%,
the socio demographic and clinical characteristics of DM patients and the therapeutic
strategies adopted in Brazil.
Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study, conducted between January
and June 2016 in 250 public and private healthcare centers, randomly selected across
Brazil.
Results: Overall, 2590 patients (51.8% male) were included, of which 244 (9.4%) had
T1DM and 2 346 (90.6%) had T2DM. Most T1DM patients (43.4%) were in the 18-30 age
group and most T2DM patients (51.5%) were in the 5170 age group. BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 was
found for 14.6% of T1DM patients and 36.6% of T2DM patients. Mean age at diagnosis
was 25.1 (SD 15.8) years for T1DM and 50.8 (SD 12.6) years for T2DM. Most patients
(76.9%) are followed in the private healthcare sector. The most frequent comorbidity
was dyslipidemia (46.7%; n = 1209), both for T1DM patients (20.1%; n = 49) and T2DM
patients (49.4%; n = 1160). HbA1C < 7.0% was found for 41.8% (95% CI [34.7%; 49.0%])
of T1DM patients and for 52.3% (95% CI [50.1%; 54.5%]) of T2DM patients. Among T2DM
patients, 14.4% (n = 338) were insulin-treated, of which 55.6% (n = 188) with NPH,
23.7% (n = 80) with fast-acting insulin analogues, 22.8% (n = 77) with long-acting
insulin analogues, 13.6% (n = 46) with regular insulin and 3.6% (n = 12) with premixed
insulin. The oral antidiabetics most commonly used by T2DM patients were metformin
(n = 1538; 65.6%), followed by DDP-4 inhibitors (n = 774; 33.0%) and sulfonylureas
(n = 644; 27.5%). On average, patients attend 3.7 appointments per year for diabetes
management (T1DM: 4.3; T2DM: 3.6).
Conclusion: A high proportion of patients in this cohort did not meet the glycemic
control target of HbA1C < 7.0%, even though most were under pharmacological treatment.
Given the risk of diabetic complications posed by uncontrolled disease, further action
should be taken to address this issue. Globally, this study offers valuable insight
into DM’s epidemiology and management in Brazil. Funding: This study was funded by
Sanofi.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease that has a high prevalence around
the world. In 2014, the World Health Organization estimated that 422 million adults
had the disease, worldwide. The DM is one of the main causes of disability, which
can negatively affect productivity in active workers. In Brazil, the National Institute
of Social Security (INSS) is responsible for granting benefits and salaries in cases
of absenteeism due to illness.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological profile
of INSS beneficiares receiving disability benefits due to DM.
Methods: A retrospective study based on analysis of 184 patients who requested disability
benefits due to diabetes mellitus from the INSS, in a city located in the south of
Minas Gerais- Brazil. The analyzed data were characterized by age, gender and employment
situation through the ICD-10 (E10, E11 and E14) from January 2014 to February 2016.
Results: The results showed that diabetes mellitus represented 34.2% of all disability
benefits requests associated with endocrine diseases (n = 538). Considering just the
diabetes ICDs, Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (E10) represented 63.6%, followed
by non-insulin-dependent Diabetes (E11) with 24.4% and unspecified diabetes mellitus
(E14) with 12%. The majority of beneficiaries were male (71.7%), associated with urban
jobs (53.3%) especially administrative posts, ranging from 50 to 64 years old (63%).
Conclusion: The profile of workers who have requested benefits due to diabetes mellitus
showed that the majority of beneficiaries were male adults, working in urban jobs
ranging from 50 to 64 years old, mainly affected by Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
disease. In addition, these beneficiaries can be more susceptible to workplace thermal
conditions, stress and other issues inherent to the disease, such as hypo or hyperglycemia.
These data should help in the implementation of strategies and measures to prevent
the work disability caused by diabetes involving Brazilian workers. As consequence,
it is expected that there will be a reduction in costs related to the absence of these
workers.

Introduction: The Perdersen method is a simple method to assess impairment of hypoglycemia
awareness, which is a major risk factor for severe hypoglycemia.
Objective: To assess hypoglycemia awareness in consecutive type 1 diabetes patients
using the Pedersen method and evaluate their glycemic profile and frequency of hypoglycemia.
Method: The Pedersen consists in confronting patients with the question: “Do you recognize
symptoms, when you have a hypoglycemia?” and gives the possibility of one of four
answers: (1) “Always”; (2) “Usually”; (3) “Occasionally”; (4) “Never”. The population
is then stratified in three groups: Normal awareness of hypoglycemia (NAH)—patients
who answered “always”; Impaired awareness (IAH)—patients who answered “usually”; Unawareness
of hypoglycemia (UAH)—patients who answered “occasionally” or “never”. For all subjects,
glycemic profile and hypoglycemia frequency were prospectively evaluated in detail
in a 1 month period.
Results: In total, 98 patients with a mean age of 26 years and 13 years of diabetes
duration were classified as UAH = 28.6%, IAH = 22.4%, and NAH = 49%. Patients with
hypoglycemia unawareness (UAH) were older and had longer diabetes duration. The proportion
of patients who reported at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia in the last year
was significantly lower in patients with NAH (p < 0.001). When asked what level of
blood glucose triggered their symptoms of hypoglycemia, significantly more patients
with UAH reported levels < 40 mg/L (NAH = 4.2%, IAH = 4.5%, UAH = 57.0%, p < 0.001).
In the analyses of the 4 weeks period of prospective data collection we observed a
progressive increase in the average number of episodes of hypoglycemia as hypoglycemia
perception decreased (NAH = 6.5 ± 5.3, IAH = 8.8 ± 4.4, UAH = 11.5 ± 8.4; p = 0.004).
The proportion of patients with at least one episode of hypoglycemia with no warning
symptoms (i.e. no symptoms and capillary glucose < 52 mg/L) was highest in those with
UAH (p < 0.001 vs. NAH and p = 0.011 vs. IAH). On univariable analysis, age (OR = 1.07;
p = 0.002), diabetes duration (OR = 1.07; p = 0.027), and creatinine clearance (OR = 0.81;
p = 0.014) were associated with unawareness of hypoglycemia. On multivariable analysis,
there was no factor independently associated with unawareness of hypoglycemia.
Conclusion: The Pedersen method is a simple and feasible clinical tool that correctly
identified patients with high risk for severe hypoglycemia.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic non-communicable disease that occurs
due to hereditary and/or environmental factors. Adherence to drug therapy is essential
to avoid complications.
Objective: To identify adherence and drug therapy and the difficulty that these individuals
with type 2 DM have in relation to treatment adherence through the Morisky-Green Test
(MGT) and Brief Medication Questionnaire (BMQ).
Method: Quantitative, descriptive, exploratory cross-sectional study. Study conducted
with patients diagnosed with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. The results were analyzed
by the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) 17, using Chi square tests
and Fisher‘s exact test, was considered significant p < 0.05. All participants signed
the informed consent form—TCLE. This research was approved by the Research Ethics
Committee of the Health Sciences Teaching and Research Foundation of the health secretariat—FEPECS/SES,
CAAE 45288915.6.0000.5553.
Results: Among the 99 patients interviewed, the majority were female (71.7%), aged
60.4 ± 1.0 years, married (54.5%), household 36 (36.4%), whose family income was constituted
up to a minimum wage (34.3%). Regarding adherence to medication therapy, it was found
to be moderate for both sexes, 48% (Female) and 50% (Male), through the MGT evaluation.
The BMQ showed women with a likely adherence to treatment (55%) with a higher incidence
and men focused on a low adherence rate (36%). Regarding the limitations for adherence,
45.5% of the individuals reported having difficulty reading what is written on the
medication packages and 24.2% reported having difficulty remembering the time to take
the medications.
Conclusion: Through MGT there was similar adherence to medication therapy between
men and women, whereas in the BMQ women showed a more likely adherence to higher incidence.
The limitation in reading what is written on the packages and remembering the timetables
for their ingestion were some of the difficulties to adherence to drug therapy referred
by the patients (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

The association between achievement of individualized glycemic targets and hypoglycemia
risk in the real-world setting is unknown. DUNE was a 12-week, prospective, observational,
multinational, real-world study (conducted Feb 2015–Jul 2016) in adults with T2DM
newly (at time of enrollment) or recently (< 12 months) initiated on basal insulin
(BI) therapy. The study aimed to assess individualized HbA1c target achievement and
its association with symptomatic hypoglycemia (occurrence/frequency). Of 3139 evaluable
participants, 99.7% were set individual HbA1c targets by their physicians (57% set
at 7.0–7.4%). At week 12 both insulin-naïve and prior BI participants showed a mean
HbA1c decrease from baseline with limited up-titration of insulin dose (Table); only
28 and 27%, respectively, achieved individual HbA1c targets (Table), with an average
insulin dose of 0.31 U/kg/day at week 12. Overall, symptomatic hypoglycemia was reported
by 16% of participants. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed a positive
association between the occurrence and frequency of symptomatic hypoglycemia and HbA1c
target achievement (Table). To conclude, results from this real-world study show that
while HbA1c levels fell substantially, most participants did not achieve individual
HbA1c targets; participants who reached target were more likely to experience symptomatic
hypoglycemia. Study code: OBS13780. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global health problem of the century. It
is observed that 90 to 95% of DM cases are of people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(DM2). Complications resulting from this morbidity can be systemic as peripheral.
Therapeutic resources such as ear acupuncture have been used for the purpose of maintaining
physiological balance and reducing the risks of complications from Diabetes.
Objective: To evaluate the evidence found in the literature on the action ear acupuncture
on glycemic control in people with T2DM.
Methods: Systematic review in the databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Cinahl, Cochrane,
Scoppus, PEDRo, Science Direct, with keywords: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus · Auriculotherapy/Type
2 Diabetes Mellitus · Acupressure/Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus · Ear acupuncture; adapted
to each base, with the inclusion criteria: experimental works published in the last
10 years.
Results: 79 articles found. After reading the title, 22 articles composed the sample
for analysis in its entirety. In the final sample, five studies answered the guiding
question and presented the inclusion criteria. These showed ear acupuncture as an
effective intervention for glycemic control. Despite this diversity, auriculotherapy
can be applied by means of seed techniques (3 studies), with manual stimulation and
electrical stimulation in the auricular pavilion (2 studies), both with variable number
of sessions.
Conclusion: Treatment protocol varied from and there is no consensus among the experts
on the number of sessions, duration of treatment and the points applied.

Background: Discontinuation of drug treatment may be considered a common problem in
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and, consequently, contribute to inadequate
glycemic control. A systematic approach to improving adherence consists of: assessing
adherence, removing barriers to overcoming them, and finally establishing follow-up
plans that confirm the change in planned treatment and the evaluation of their goals.
Aim: To describe action plans related to the behavior of adherence to oral antidiabetic
drugs (OADs), developed by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary care,
as well as to identify the perceived barriers and respective coping strategies to
effect this behavior.
Method: A cross-sectional study derived from a randomized controlled trial. Individuals
(n = 44) who used oral antidiabetics and who had the ability to read and write in
Brazilian Portuguese, composed the sample and were invited to elaborate behavioral
strategies to improve OADs adherence. Ethics Approval: The study was approved by the
University of Campinas’ Ethics Board, approval number 1.278.099/2016, 1.408.883/2016
and 1.528.738/2016 and conducted according to the recommendations of the Declaration
of Helsinki.
Results: It was evidenced that 97.7% of the action plans were associated with taking
OADs after meals, 36.4% of the participants chose to take OADs in the room, and 45.4%
associated them with activities of daily living such as preparing breakfast, brushing
teeth and bathing. In daily activities, forgetfulness (21.4%), presence of adverse
events (59.1%) and absence of routine (6.1%) were the most prevalent barriers raised
by patients. The preparation of daily coping plans, such as leaving the tablets in
an easily accessible place (17.3%), eating every three hours (14.3%), drinking 2 L
or more of water per day (7.2%) and standardized mealtimes (6.1%) were the coping
strategies that were most related to overcome the behavioral failure gap.
Conclusion: Most of the action plans were associated with taking OADs to temporal
markers or the wake/sleep cycle. The development of coping planning including day-to-day
activities were the strategies that most related to overcoming the behavioral failure
gap. These findings provide support for the application of these strategies to promote
adherence to drug therapy among patients with T2DM.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are associated with increased risk of
disability, hospitalization and death in populations, especially in diabetic patients.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) accounts for 90–95% of all cases of diabetes. It usually
occurs in obese individuals and is older than 40 years. Approximately 70–80% of patients
with T2DM have a set of factors that implies a high cardiovascular risk (abdominal
obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance or diabetes and arterial hypertension),
thus denominating the metabolic syndrome (MS). The dyslipidemia found in patients
with MS is highly atherogenic, considerably increasing the cardiovascular risk of
these patients, since the combination of these multiple risk factors makes this population
a group of patients highly susceptible to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), with a risk
up to 3× greater for the event cardiovascular, up to 4x for death by CAD and up to
2.4× for death from any cause. The more components of MS the patient has, the greater
the risk of CVD and the presence of MS in patients with pre-existing CVD increases
the risk of a new event in these people.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical differences, the
impact and the characteristics of hospitalizations for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS),
either acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation (STEMI) or acute myocardial
infarction with ST-segment elevation IAMCSST) in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methodology: Retrospective study from the charts of diabetic patients followed up
by the Endocrinology Team who were diagnosed with ACS (IAMSSST and IAMCSST) between
March/2012 and March/2017. Clinical data included sex, age, main cause of admission,
comorbidities, and mean length of hospital stay. Patients hospitalized with other
macrovascular causes (cerebrovascular disease and peripheral arterial insufficiency)
were excluded. Data are presented in absolute numbers and percentages.
Result: Of the 446 admissions due to macrovascular causes, 86% were due to ACS (n = 384,
73% male and mean age 62.5 ± 12.4 years). The main age group was between 61 and 70 years
(59%). The main diagnoses at hospital discharge were: 34% AMI (with/without SST),
57% AI and 9% noncardiac chest pain. The mean hospital stay was 16.8 ± 2.6 days. Overall
mortality occurred in 3% (n = 6), occurring only in patients with AMI/AI.
Conclusion: Our data reaffirm the diabetic condition as an independent risk factor
for cardiovascular events, being 2 to 3 times greater in males, which are more prone
to the development of coronary diseases, being the main cause of hospitalization in
this population. These results reinforce the need for a simultaneous intervention
between glycemic control and the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in order
to weaken the central determinants involved in the genesis of atherosclerosis.

Background and aims: Plasma glucose is the main stimulus for insulin secretion (IS),
but non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and the incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) also
are important modulators of IS. The incretin effect (IE) accounts for the ~40–80%
higher IS after oral ingestion compared to intravenous glucose. Palmitate impairs
IE by downregulating GLP-1 receptor signaling in beta-cell lines and isolated mouse
islets. Insulin resistance and defective IE are common in T2DM. Thus, increased NEFA
levels could impact beta-cell function through an impairment of IE. Our aim was to
test whether an acute NEFA reduction induced by acipimox (ACP, a potent inhibitor
of lipolysis) improves IE in T2DM.
Materials and Methods: 13 patients (10F/3 M; 54.8 ± 7.6 years, mean ± SD; BMI = 32.8 ± 5.6 kg/m2;
HbA1c = 7.24 ± 0.48%) received a 3 h OGTT (75 g) and a 3 h isoglycaemic glucose infusion
(IV) on separate days. Both tests were repeated after ACP ingestion (200 mg 2 h before
and 1 h after starting glucose). C-peptide deconvolution was used to calculate IS
rates; mathematical model to quantitate ß-cell function and IE. Main parameters: insulin
secretion rate (ISR); glucose sensitivity (ßGS), i.e., the slope of the IS/glucose
dose–response curve; glucose-induced potentiation (PGLU), a time-dependent modulation
of the dose–response; incretin-induced potentiation (PINCR) calculated as the fold
IS increment during OGTT compared to IV glucose.
Results: On the OGTT, ACP decreased NEFA OGTT-area-under-curve (AUC) by 55 ± 14% (64 ± 28
vs 27 ± 9 mol L−1 h−1, p < 0.01). Fasting glycaemia, OGTT and IV glucose AUCs were
similar before and after ACP, while ACP decreased incremental OGTT-glucose AUC (744 ± 163
vs 902 ± 262 mol L−1 3 h−1, p < 0.05). ISR was lower during IV than OGTT both in the
control (58 ± 19 vs 70 ± 23 nmol m−2; p < 0.01) and ACP studies (53 ± 15 vs 64 ± 20 nmol m−2;
p < 0.01). ACP reduced ISR (64 ± 20 vs 70 ± 23 nmol m−2, p < 0.05) and did not change
ßGS (32 ± 11 vs 26 ± 9 pmol min−1 m−2 mM−1), PINCR (1.17 ± 0.14 vs 1.12 ± 0.19 fold),
PGLU, plasma glucagon and GIP (all p = ns). In contrast, ACP improved insulin sensitivity,
estimated as the oral glucose sensitivity index, OGIS (326 ± 44 vs 291 ± 60 ml min−1 m−2,
p < 0.05). Changes in ISR were directly related to changes in NEFA (rho = 0.62, p = 0.03)
and inversely related to OGIS (rho = −0.73, p = 0.01).
Conclusion: In patients with type 2 diabetes, acute pharmacological NEFA reduction
lowers glycaemia and enhances insulin sensitivity but does not improve the incretin
effect.

Introduction: The short-term consumption of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids it
is enough to change the metabolism. The adipose tissue hypertrophy and dysfunction
induced by saturated fatty acids consumption represent strong markers to cardiometabolic
risk. On the other hand, omega-3 food sources seems to protect from excess of adiposity,
inflammation and hyperphagy.
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the short effects of flaxseed oil, riches
in 3, against high-fat diet disturbances in adipose visceral tissues.
Materials and methods: Animals C57BL6 J, 4 weeks old, were distributed in 3 groups
(N = 6 each), maintained during 3 days under specific diets: control diet (CTL—4%
soy oil), High-fat diet (HFD—35% lard), and High-fat diet with 10% of flaxseed oil
in substitution of lard (FS—25% from lard). It was carried out food intake, fasting
glucose, body weight gain, metabolic and physiological parameters, lipidomics and
histopathological analysis.
Results: On the 1st., the food intake significantly increased in the HFD group compared
to CTL (P < 0.05) while in the last day (3rd day), there was a significant increase
in the HFD group, compared to FS (P < 0.05). FS diet did not protected mice from weight
gain in comparison to HFD group. However, surprisingly, the total fat depots in mesenteric
adipose tissue from FS group was smaller than HFD group (P < 0.05), and the difference
between HFD and CTL group on mesenteric, epididymal and retroperitoneal tissues was
extremely significant (P < 0.001). Interestingly, the 3 fatty acid (C18:3 α-linolenic)
bioavailability was confirmed by lipidomics, through its incorporation into adipose
tissues from FS group in comparison to HFD group (P < 0.001). In addition, FS oil
replaced diet was able to restore 6:3 balance (5:1), even under high fat conditions,
when compared to HFD group (14:1).
Conclusion: Therefore, acutely high-fat diet consumption was able to impair several
metabolic parameters, while 3 fatty acid sources can protect against these damages.
We believe that the sporadic imbalances on diet is not a risk for metabolic diseases.
However, changes in the food pattern influenced by western diet, and the continuous
consume of high-fat meals con be harmful and determinant to the dysmetabolism (Fig.
1).

Introduction: The risk of hypoglycemia during and after exercise is a limiting factor
to regular exercise in patients with type 1 diabetes. Studies related to intermittent
exercise, characteristic of most sports and games, present contradictory results regarding
glycemic responses and the risk of hypoglycemia induced by exercise.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of intermittent
high intensity exercise on the glucose response of children and adolescents with type
1 diabetes, related to the insulin application schedule.
Materials and Methods: Participated in the study 30 patients with type 1 diabetes
mellitus, Z score of BMI 0.13 ± 0.93; Chronological age 13.09 ± 1.90; duration of
disease 6.47 ± 3.77; Concentration of HbA1c 9.69 ± 1.56%. The patients had a standardized
meal and insulin application was performed in the clinic (mean basal insulin 25.75 ± 8.47 U/kg/d
and fast acting insulin 17.31 ± 11.35 U/kg/d). Two tests were performed in cycle ergometer,
intensity of 60% VO2max, interspersed by five high-intensity sprints every 5 min,
tests were performed one and 2 h after the application of insulin (T1 h and T2 h).
Blood glucose was assessed at the beginning and at the end of the tests and for 8 h
after the end of the tests using the continuous glucose monitor (MCG).
Results: Pre-and post-test glycemic variation was higher in T2 h (−30.66 mg/dl) than
in T1 h (−19.78 mg/dl, p = 0.007). There was a significant difference between the
mean number of occurrences of hypoglycemia in the 8 h following the tests (p = 0.017).
The hypoglycemic odds ratio showed a higher odds ratio for hypoglycaemia after exercise
and up to 8 h after insulin administration (OR: 37.94% CI 9.30–15.75).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the practice of intermittent high-intensity
exercises performed 1 h after insulin and feeding showed a lower risk of hypoglycemia
in the following 8 h compared to the exercises performed 2 h later. Ethics Approval
The study was approved by Ethics Committee on Human Research at Hospital de Clínicas,
UFPR, CAAE 44193214.7.0000.0096 with opinion number 1,101.60. (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The evaluation of the autocare in patients with diabetes mellitus has
as checking finality if the patients put in practice the directions that they receive
of the health professionals to reach a better control glicêmico and lipídico, to maintain
the appropriate weight and to obstruct or to delay complications resulting from the
disease.
Objective: This study aimed to value the autocare of the patient at the next dimensions:
general food, specific food, physical activity, monitorização of the glicemia, care
with the feet, use of the medication and the practice of the tobaccoism.
Method: Cross study carried out in a public hospital of Brasilia, DF—in the period
from 12th of January till 21st of May of 2016. The sample was composed by 100 patients
with DM1 and DM2, both sexes, ages between 18 and 64 years attended in the outpatient
department of endocrinologia of this hospital more than a year ago. A validated questionnaire
was applied, QAD—Questionnaire of Activity of Autocare with Diabetes.
Resulted: The care with to the food was satisfactory with reduced consumption of sweets
and fats in the diet; the practice of physical activity between the participants of
this sample was low. The use of prescribed medicines and direction as for the care
they was with the feet that they had bigger adhesion as the patients. Regarding tobaccoism
practice, 41% of the interviewed ones said to have smoked in some phase of the life,
nevertheless, in the moment of the inquiry, only 6% maintains the habit.
Conclusion: This study reinforces the importance of the autocare for control and prevention
of the complications of diabetes mellitus (Fig. 1).

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the main endocrinopathy in pregnancy and its
treatment aims to reach an adequate maternal glycemic control and reduce the adverse
perinatal outcomes. The classic treatment is diet (D), physical activity (PA) and
insulin (I), the last one associated to hypoglycemia and weight gain. On the other
hand, metformin (MTF) does not lead to hypoglycemia neither weight gain. However,
there are limited data regarding the use of metformin during pregnancy.
Goals: The aim of the study was to retrospectively analyze the impact of the glycemic
control on perinatal outcomes of the diabetic pregnant women who received MTF, alone
or associated with insulin, and to compare the results with those on conventional
treatment.
Methods: We analyzed the medical records of the diabetic pregnant women who were attended
at the Endocrinology Clinic of Hospital do Servidor Público Municipal between 2009
and 2016. The incidence of fetal macrosomia, prematurity, respiratory distress, hospitalization
in intensive care unit and abortion were analyzed and correlated to the glycemic control.
Good glycemic control was defined by the presence of at least 80% of capillary blood
glucose within the following range: pre-prandial < 90 mg/dL, 1 h postprandial < 140 mg/dL,
2 h postprandial < 120 mg/dL
Results: 98 pregnant women were evaluated and divided into four groups: D + PA (n = 27),
D + PA + I (n = 33); D + PA + MTF (n = 12); and D + PA + MTF + I (n = 26). The mean
age of the patients was 34.9 years old, which was similar between the four groups.
In the group D + PA, 3/27 women had adverse outcomes. Two (67%) of them had poor glycemic
control. In the group D + PA + I, 8/33 pregnant women presented adverse perinatal
outcomes. Of these, three (37.5%) were poorly controlled. In the D + PA + MTF group,
5/12 pregnant women had adverse outcomes, of which four (80%) had poor glycemic controls.
Finally, in the group who received D + PA + MTF + I, 9/26 had adverse outcomes and
of these, eight (89%), had inadequate glycemic control (Fig. 1).

Background: Exposure to air pollution has unfavorable cardiometabolic effects. Particulate
matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is associated with the induction of chronic inflammation in many
tissues. Leptin signaling in the hypothalamus participates in the maintenance of energy
homeostasis. Leptin resistance may occur due to hypothalamic low grade inflammation
in obese models. One of the mechanisms that triggers the low grade inflammation is
the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway by lipopolysaccharide (LPS),
which is one of the components of MP2.5.
Objectives: Therefore, the aims of the present study are to investigate: 1) TLR4 gene
expression in the hypothalamus of C57BL/6 J mice (C57) exposed to PM2.5 (polluted)
compared to C57 exposed to filtered air (FA); 2) the changes in weight gain, energy
intake and energy expenditure (respirometry), glucose tolerance (GTT) and insulin
tolerance (ITT) in TLR4- knockout mice (TLR4KO) exposed to PM2.5 or FA.
Materials and methods: 6 weeks-old male mice were exposed to PM2.5/FA in the Harvard
Ambient Fine Particles Concentrator at University of Sao Paulo during 3 months. All
mice received standard diet (Nuvilab®) and potable water ad libtum. After this period,
part of these mice was submitted to intraperitoneal leptin sensitivity protocol, which
consisted of daily injections of leptin for 2 days followed by saline injections for
3 days. During this protocol, body weight and food intake were measured daily. Another
part of the mice underwent to glucose and insulin tolerance tests (GTT and ITT) made
in different weeks. At the end of all in vivo experiments, mice were killed for tissues
dissections after intraperitoneal leptin or saline stimulation. Hypothalamus and epididymal
adipose tissue were collected and kept under −80 °C.
Results: As a result, it was observed that the polluted C57 mice had increased body
weight, adipose mass and serum insulin concentration. The GTT and ITT were altered
in the polluted C57 compared to C57 FA. There was no difference on food intake between
groups; however, the oxygen consumption was significantly lower in polluted C57 compared
to FA mice, suggesting lower energy expenditure in this group. Leptin resistance in
the hypothalamus was observed in the polluted C57 mice compared to FA mice, because
body weight and food intake in response to leptin only decrease in the FA C57 mice.
TLR4 gene expression levels were elevated in the hypothalamus of polluted C57 mice.
The TLR4KO exposed to MP2.5 did not present changes in body weight or adipose mass
and hypothalamic leptin sensitivity was similar to FA C57 mice. In addition, GTT and
ITT were similar between polluted TLRKO and FA C57 mice.
Conclusion: Together, the data suggest that the air pollution participates in the
genesis of obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. The increase of adiposity
was due, at least in part, to the reduction of energy expenditure. Hypothalamic inflammatory
pathways may be involved in leptin resistance induced by air pollution, because the
TLR4 deletion protected the animal from obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.

Background: Some studies suggest an association between diabetic kidney disease (DKD)
and vitamin D (VD), but there is no data about the effect of high dose of VD on DKD
in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Our pilot study aims to evaluate albuminuria reduction
in patients with T1DM supplemented with high dose of VD.
Methods: 22 patients received doses of 4000 and 10000 IU/day of cholecalciferol for
12 weeks according to patient’s previous VD levels. They were submitted to continuous
glucose monitoring system (CGMS), 24-h ABPM and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio
(UACR) before and after VD supplementation.
Results: There was a reduction of DKD prevalence at the end of the study (68 vs 32%;
p = 0.05), with no changes on insulin doses, HbA1c, glycemic variability (GV) and
blood pressure (BP) values. A correlation between percentage variation of VD levels
(∆VD) and albuminuria at the end of the study was presented (r = −0.5; p < 0.05).
Among T1DM patients with DKD at the beginning of the study, 8/13 (62%) had their DKD
stage improved, while the other five ones (38%) showed no changes (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Our pilot study suggests an association between VD high dose supplementation,
lower prevalence and improvement in stages of DKD in T1DM.

Introduction: Allergy to human insulin or its analogues is rare. No effective strategy
has been found yet. The incidence is estimated between 1 and 2.4% on insulin-treated
patients. Reactions range from local signs to anaphylaxis. Individuals may be allergic
to the insulin molecule itself or to pharmaceutical excipients such as protamine,
zinc or metacresol. A defective injection technique (intradermal application) facilitates
the development of such reactions. The underlying mechanisms of allergy may be type
I (IgE-mediated), type III (IgGmediated immune complex) and type IV (T cell-mediated
late-type hypersensitivity). Epidermal Langerhans cells carry a foreign antigen to
T lymphocytes and perform a key role on the beggining of cutaneous immune responses
and responses to chemical allergens found on the surface of the skin.
Case report: Patient 55 years old, fem, DM2 for 4 years, in the use of 2 sulfonylureas
(SUs)at the same time and NPH insulin, came to our hospital. She denied allergies.
SUs were suspended. Metformin was introduced and adjusted to be used with insulin.
Ten days later she returned presenting erythema and pruritus at the site of insulin
application, that had no improvement with antihistamine drugs nor taking off technique
application error and there was an itchy maculopapular rash after 10 min around the
injection spot, the same being observed after switching to another Insulin (Detemir).
IgE antibody specific for insulin was positive. Insulin was suspended and started
SGLT2 inhibitor together with DDP4 inhibitor, and submitted to desensitization protocol
according to scheme Pföhler et al. In a new insulin test 3 months later, the skin
reaction was again presented.
Discussion: The frequency of allergic reactions to insulin has decreased significantly
since the introduction of the recombinant human form and it´s analogues. The hypersensitivity
reactions are now generally due to the presence of various additives of pharmaceutical
formulas. Treatments go from the use of antihistamines drugs to desensitization therapy.
Systemic corticosteroids can be used as long as attention is paid to glycemic control.
Changing Insulin could be effective because of little differences in amino acid sequences
and their antigenicities. Initially, the patient presented with a good response to
desensitization, although presented recurrence before the end of the protocol. The
availability of oral treatments allowed the control without the use of insulin at
this time.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a progressive metabolic disease.
Several factors may contribute to the aggravation of this disease, such as overweight
and visceral fat accumulation. It is well known that some visceral fat assessment
methods could be complex and expensive. But, since waist circumference (WC) correlates
directly with the amount of visceral fat, it can be used as a useful alternative method
of measurement. Besides that, when WC results are compared to the body mass index
(BMI) ones, a better evaluation of metabolic and cardiovascular risk is performed.
Objective: To analyze the nutritional status of diabetic patients by using anthropometric
measurements.
Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative and descriptive study was carried out with
type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized in a university hospital, located in the city
of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil, in a period of April to July 2016. Patients were
asked about socioeconomic issues and were performed some anthropometric assessments
(BMI and WC). Optimal WC cut-offs were 80 cm and 94 cm, in men and women. While for
BMI the cut off used was 18.5 to less than 25 kg/m2. All the patients understood and
accepted the Informed Consent Term (ICT).
Results: Fifty-five patients with type 2 DM were interviewed. Most of them were females
(54.55%) with ages ranging from 32 to 78 years (mean: 61 ± 9.75 years). The mean time
of diagnosis was 15 ± 10 years. Regarding the level of education, it was noted that
most of the diabetic patients had only incomplete elementary schooling (81.81%). This
might contributed to a low adherence to treatment. In the present study, it was found
that the frequency of overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was high (41.8%), often resulting
from a sedentary lifestyle and a high consumption of processed foods. Waist circumference
analyzes showed an elevated risk of metabolic alterations in both women (93.33%) and
men (52%), demonstrating the impact of this measurement on the occurrence and progression
of diabetes.
Conclusion: Most of the patients had elevated WC and almost half had overweight. This
condition of body fat accumulation in patients with type 2 DM is cause of concern,
since it is a factor that impairs the metabolic control. This contributes to the appearance
of chronic complications of diabetes. The role of nutritional therapy aims to introduce
and sensitize the patient to having healthy living habits that provide a better quality
of life.

Background: There are numerous tools, social networking platforms and sites that share
information. Studies highlight the importance of YouTube as a source of useful information
about some diseases, including Diabetes Mellitus (DM). However, no study has evaluated
YouTube‘s use in Brazil as a source of information on diabetic neuropathy. This term
is used to describe a group of manifestations characterized by the presence of symptoms
and/or signs of peripheral and autonomic nerve dysfunction in people with DM after
the exclusion of other causes.
Objective: In this study, our aim was to research the source and audience of videos
on YouTube Brazil regarding diabetic neuropathy.
Materials and methods: The Web site (www.youtube.com) was searched on May 16, 2017,
for the associated terms “diabetic neuropathy,” “neuropathy treatment,” and “neuropathy
complications.” The videos of greater than 30-min duration, without audio, not recorded
in Brazilian Portuguese language and those not related to the focus were excluded.
Were included the videos associated with the terms and available on the rst 10 pages
(200 videos) of search results. The videos were analyzed independently by G.N. and
G.S. Were recorded the following parameters for all videos: the upload date, number
of views, duration, “likes,” “dislikes”, and comments. The video sources were categorized
into 4 groups: organizational, professional, personal and advertisement. Approval
by the ethics committee was not required, since YouTube search is not directly involved
with humans using public domain material.
Results: Our search resulted in a total of 346 videos, of which 200 were pre-selected,
and 34 analyzed. The 34 videos analyzed were published between 2007 and 2016, and
presented the following metrics: 308,693 views; 1,464 “likes”; 93 “dislikes”; 46 comments;
and total duration of 4 h, 33 min and 56 s. The video source revealed the following
classification: organizational, n = 19; professional, n = 10; personal, n = 5; and
advertisement, n = 0.
Conclusion: It was evidenced that YouTube in Brazil is little used in both the availability
and the search for information about diabetic neuropathy. So, we should admit its
educational potential to be explored. There was greater contribution of health organizations
and health professionals in the elaboration of the videos. However, videos not related
to the theme predominated, which could to appoint, a risk of sharing inaccurate or
misleading information about the diabetic neuropathy. Studies will be needed to analyze
the quality of content about diabetic neuropathy presented on YouTube videos in Brazil.

Background: The Blue Friday initiative was created by Cherise Shockley after being
diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Nowadays, Blue Friday is a campaign of the
International Diabetes Federation (IDF) with support from several institutions, including
the Brazilian Society of Diabetes. Its purpose is to make people aware of the importance
of bringing everyone together for the prevention and control of DM.
Objectives: This research aimed to analyze actions of the Blue Friday Campaign conducted
in the Fanpage Diabetes Diamantina (FDD) during the year 2016.
Materials and methods: This study analyzed the number of individuals reached by a
Blue Friday Campaign. The Diabetes Study Group of the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha
and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM) promoted the campaign during 30 weeks, between April and
November 2016. Photographs from 26 Brazilian States and the Federal District were
captured with a Sony Digital Camera. Thirty digital images of tourist spots in the
Brazilian States containing some reference in the blue color were selected and edited
using the software Microsoft Office PowerPoint®. Thus, all digital images received
the slogan of World Diabetes Day 2016: ‘Eyes on Diabetes’. The slogan was originally
written in English and translated into Portuguese. Messages were complemented by several
descriptions about DM in Portuguese, English and Spanish to be posted online in the
FDD. To identify general data with publication metrics, two researchers accessed the
Facebook database. Numbers of ‘likes’, ‘shares’ and ‘total reach’ of people who saw
the publications during all campaign time were analyzed.
Results: The data revealed an expressive virtual public involvement throughout the
campaign. The total reach, numbers of ‘like” and ‘share’ publications increased over
the months. At the end of the Blue Friday Campaign 2016 the postings reached 73,722
views in Brazil and in others more than 40 countries; 3,520 likes and 2,197 shares.
Conclusion: The total range of people who shared the images in FDD was high. The content
possibly informed and/or sensitized many people around the world about the great importance
of DM nowadays. In addition, the use of Brazilian tourist spots images attracted the
virtual interaction of the people each other and an involvement with the campaign
theme. Thus, the use of this social network as a complementary tool for educational
actions in favor of DM was relevant in this research. However, future studies are
needed, in order to understand the impact of this kind of virtual campaign about DM
education.

Introduction: Retinopathy is the third cause of blindness in adults in Brazil, and
it is the major one among people of productive age (16–64 years). It is also one of
the most common complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) being found after 20 years
of DM analysis, 90% of diagnosis being type 1 and 50–80% type 2 and the growth of
life expectancy of the patients is greatly increasing the incidences (Aragon, 2013).
Objective: Evaluate eye health of participants of a health promotion program for people
with Diabetes Mellitus in the Amazon.
Method: Descriptive study of quantitative approach. The data gathering was made through
analysis of fundoscopy results. Participation in the program was the inclusion criterion
used for the development of the study. The study was approved by the Ethics and Research
Committee (Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP) of the Federal University of Amapá (Universidade
Federal do Amapá), under Postal Code/CEP: 900.066/2015.
Results: Twenty-one (21) clinical examinations were analyzed, the majority of participants
were female (76.1%); male (23.8%) (Table 1). Description of the results analysis:
MACULA: brightness, 15 people (71.4%), low brightness, 2 people (9.5%) and no brightness
1 person (4.76%) and with no evaluation of the macula 2 people (9.5%). OPTIC DISC
WITH CUPPING: 0.2 (19%), 0.3 (19%), 0.4 (23.8%), physiological (14.2%) and no result
(23.8%). VESSELS: normal (61.9%), slight tortuous (4.7%), tortuous (4.7%), no vessel
evaluation (23.8%). CONTOUR: preserved (42.8%), regular (19%), no result (38%). DIAGNOSES:
Glaucoma, 1 person (4.7%), Cataract, 5 people (23.8%); Diabetic Retinopathy: mild,
1 person (4.7%), severe 1 person (4.7%); Hypertensive retinopathy, 1 person (4.7%),
Asteroid Hyalitis, 1 person (4.7%); Pterygium 1 person (4.7%) (Table 2)
Conclusion: The analysis of the data showed that most of the participants presented
good ocular health; it may be related to the satisfactory adherence to the DM treatment,
stimulated by the health actions developed in the Program for the Promotion of Diabetic
Health in the Amazon (Programa de Promoção à Saúde dos Diabéticos na Amazônia). However,
programmed assessment of visual function for the detection of ophthalmological changes
and early diagnosis of visual complications in the diabetic population is important
for the prevention of major diseases, especially blindness. For Nursing, it provides
the elaboration of a plan of care that adapts to the lifestyle and limitations of
the patient, in order to provide a better quality of life and active participation
in their own care (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Severe hypoglycemia, multiple admissions, glycemic variability and poor
adherence to treatment are some of the problems that young patients with type 1 diabetes
mellitus (DM1) face during disease progression. The continuous system of insulin infusion
(CSII), when indicated, becomes a technological allied helping to obtain glycemic
control and reduction of complications in young people, who often face the diagnosis
in early childhood.
Objective: To evaluate the profile, indication and the metabolic and social impact
of CSII use in young patients with DM1.
Method: Retrospective cohort of patients with DM1, attended at the Diabetes Mellitus
outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina de Marília,
CSII users.
Results: 22 patients (64% male, 82% white), with 15.5 ± 7.3 years; 10.3 ± 6.77 years
of disease evolution; started using CSII with 11.9 ± 6.55 and 6.91 ± 5.2 years diagnostic
time. The pump used by all patients was Medtronic® and 13.63% associated with continuous
monitoring. Hypoglycemia was the indication in 72.72%, followed by other causes: pregnancy,
depression (18.18%), frequent diabetic ketoacidoses (4.54%). The average glycosylated
hemoglobin (HBA1c) before and after the pump was 8.86 and 8.06%, respectively. There
was a reduction in the frequency of severe hypoglycemia of 50% in the pre-use period
of CSII to 13.6% after use. Prior to the use of the pump, we found 22.7% of hypoglycemic
convulsions and 22.7% of diabetic ketoacidosis. No episodes with CSII were observed.
The percentage of the basal insulin dose was 71% pre-pump and 49% post-pump. The mean
total insulin dose at multiple doses was 1.05 Ui/kg/day and after CSII; 0.89 Ui/Kg/day.
The improvement in the quality of life was reported in 100% of the patients.
Conclusion: All patients presented improvement in quality of life, reduced frequency
of severe hypoglycaemia and/or diabetic ketoacidosis. There was a better distribution
of the infused insulin, with an improvement in the ratio between basal insulin and
bolus, associated with a slight reduction in the average total insulin dose. However,
there was no significant reduction in HbA1C levels. Data suggest that even with the
difficulty in glycemic control, it is possible to improve patients adherence to therapy
and reduce serious health damage, as well as expenses with prolonged hospitalizations.

Type 1 diabetes patients have reduced Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) compared
with general population. Recent study in an aging population of a small city in Brazil
showed influence of African ancestry in self-reported health status. The aim of the
present study was to evaluate the relationship between self-reported color/race and
genomic ancestry with HRQoL of patients with type 1 diabetes in a highly admixed population.
This was a nationwide, cross-sectional study conducted with 1,760 patients with type
1 diabetes from 2011 to 2014 at public clinics in all five Brazilian geographical
regions. Information on HRQoL was obtained from two self-completed questionnaires:
Short Form-6 Dimensions (SF-6D) and EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) with a visual analogue
scale (EQ-VAS). Genomic ancestry was assessed using a Multiplex PCR methodology. Utility
scores generated from the questionnaires were analyzed with multivariate logistic
regression models. We included 1,698 patients. Those patients who self-reported as
black had lower EQ-VAS scores compared to the patients who self-reported as white,
(67.46 ± 18.45; 72.37 ± 16.44, respectively, p = 0.02). In a linear regression model,
each 1% increase in African ancestry resulted in a 9.5 point decrease in EQ-VAS score
(p < 0.001). In a multivariate logistic regression, after adjusting for demographic,
socioeconomic status and diabetes-related variables, African ancestry remained associated
with lower EQ-VAS scores. Other variables responsible for a decrease in EQ-VAS values
were: female gender, higher economic status, higher HbA1c, presence of microvascular
complication, sedentary lifestyle and overweight/obesity status. In conclusion, this
was the first study to demonstrate that ancestry influenced HRQoL in patients with
type 1 diabetes. A higher level of African ancestry implicates on lower quality of
life even after adjustments for sociodemographic and diabetes-related data. This highlights
the importance of social aspects such as ethnicity in diabetes management and highlights
the need for psychosocial and economic actions to mitigate those differences and improve
the quality of life of patients.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) causes degenerative complications that
generate human, social and economic repercussions, resulting in a major public health
problem. Among the complications are the lesions in target organs, such as retinopathy,
nephropathy, acceleration of atherosclerosis along with increased risk of myocardial
infarction, or stroke, and those affecting the feet, which are more frequent (Junior
et al. 2014).
Objective: To verify the relation of the index values in Ankle-Arm (ITB) with the
time of diagnosis of DM II, with patients from a group of chronic diseases.
Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study of a quantitative approach, carried out
with participants of a Health Promotion Program for People with Diabetes Mellitus
in the Amazon, from March to June 2017. The data was collected from the patients‘records
between the years 2015 and 2017, with 29 patients. The Ethics and Research Committee
(Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP) approved the study of the Federal University of
Amapá (Universidade Federal do Amapá), with Postal Code/CEP number: 518.389/2013.
Results: It was found that (89.7%) of the patients were female and (10.3%) were male
(Table 1). In relation to ITB and MD II diagnosis time, (27.6%) were diagnosed at
less than five years and had a mean ITB value of 1.04 mmHg in the lower right limb
(MID) and 1,02 mmHg in the left lower limb (MIE); (37.9%) had a diagnosis of five
to ten years and presented a mean ABI value of 1.07 mmHg in the MID and 1.00 mmHg
in the MIE; and (34.5%) had more than 10 years of diagnosis and had a mean ABI of
0.91 mmHg in the MID and 0.94 mmHg in the MIE (Table 2).
Conclusion: It was found that all people with DM had the results indicating ITB within
the values considered normal in the literature (0.91–1.30 mmHg), even with the variation
of the diagnosis time of DM 2. Thus, that indicates ITB is an indicative as a method
of early diagnosis of cardiovascular events and in the diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial
Disease (PAD), which are frequent events in people with diabetes and directly related
to the time of diagnosis of the disease. We also stress the importance of health promotion
measures focused on this population, such as this program, which stimulates self-care,
increase the practice of physical activities and the adoption of healthy eating habits
is emphasized in this research. Starting from educational practices that can intervene
in a satisfactory and continuous way in the course of the disease, seeking to minimize
the complications and promoting the quality of life of this population (Fig. 1).

Abstract
Case: 66 years, male, white, engineer, type 1 DM (T1D)‐LADA (24 years ago) + AntiGAD
neurological syndrome (Stiff-man-SPS) 9 years 4 months, all time Anti‐GAD +> 60 U/mL,
progressive psychomotor agitation, cognitive loss (recent‐memory‐language) (Fig. 1).
Firstly he used orally: aminotriptyline 75 mg/d‐bd, gabapentin 600 mg/d‐bd, hydantal
200 mg/d‐bd, diazepan 40 mg/d/4x, flurazepan 30 mg and muscle‐relaxant baclofen 30 mg/day/3x.
IV Infusion/month: cyclophosphamide 14.29 mg/kg (3 cycles), IV‐immunoglobulin 2 g/kg‐w/m2
(30 cycles). Later, he used smaller doses by interval/dose adjustments: Nowadays(cycle60)
use IV‐immunoglobulin 0.68 g/kg/3 m hospitalized. Oral drug was decreased with clinical
improvement, Diazepan and Baclofen has equal dosis. Glycated hemoglobin (HBG) was < 6.5%
up to 7 years evolution, despite dexamethasone use (Fig. 2). After presenting progressive
psychomotor‐agitation and cognitive‐impairment antidepressants and antipsychotics
were prescribed. After HBG = 12 he used 24 h nursing for T1D control.
Fig. 1
Before treatment
Discussion: Stiff‐person (SPS) is a rare neurological disease (1:1,000,000–1:2,000,000 ihb/year)
fistly described in 1956.Pubmed‐search as cognitive deficit + SPS = 10 articles, 5
case‐reports, one patient had all the AntiGAD‐stiff-person spectrum disorders described
(SPSD).Epitopes recognized by SPSD‐anti‐GAD65 differ from T1D. It’s been described
T‐lymphocyte‐infiltration in the medulla. In T1D‐LADA freq 1:10,000. In Central Nervous
System (CNS), anti‐GAD65 blocks inhibitory GABAergic‐neurons. This deficit has been
related to tetanus‐toxin‐sign, schizophrenia, and tetany of SPS, the agitation‐cognitive
alteration of SPSD, confused as psychiatric. One article revises the treatment of
SPS‐SPSD, maintaining the IV‐immunoglobulins (Dalakas MC validated A‐1‐double blind),
stimulating‐GABA‐neurons: Benzodiazepines and Baclofen as an improved treatment. Two
review the physiology of SPSD:in rats with infusion of antibodies from patients,and
a case‐control‐study suggests cognitive loss in anti‐GAD65/non‐carriers, needing increased
sample. Recently Dalakas MC`Trial doesn’t demonstrate statistical difference rituximab/placebo.
We have already published another patient case study with lethal outcome without treatment
and described this patient when the treatment was successful. Unfortunately, the patient
had a cognitive loss without circulatory or immuno‐neurological disease only SPSD.
Final Comments: Our review confirm the best treatment for SPSD, despite this unexpected
9‐year‐evolution.

Background and Aims: Generalized Congenital Lipodystrophy (LGG) is a rare autosomal
recessive disorder characterized by the difficulty of storing adipose tissue and metabolic
abnormalities such as insulin resistance (IR), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia
and hyperphagia. The nutritional orientation in these patients contributes to the
control of these comorbidities and represents one of the main treatment lines in force
in Brazil. The aim of this work was to evaluate the dietary intake of patients with
LGC at a center of reference in Ceará.
Metodology: A quantitative descriptive study performed at a hospital of reference
in this disease in the state of Ceará, from November 2014 to February 2015. Eleven
patients with a genetic diagnosis of LGC were evaluated. Food consumption was obtained
through three 24-h recall (R24 h) collected on different days. The interviewers were
trained and followed the automated multi-step method consisting of a five-step guided
interview. The results of the R24 h analysis were grouped in means and standard deviation
and compared to the values of energy, macronutrients and fibers recommended by the
Brazilian Society of Diabetes (SBD).
Results: The mean age of the patients was 11.18 ± 9.26 years, ranging from 2 to 31 years.
Eight patients were female. The average energy consumption was 1990.09 ± 483.09 kcal.
There were inadequate intakes of protein, saturated fatty acids, total fat and fiber
in 100% (11), 90.9% (10), 72.8% (8) and 45.6% (5) of the patients, respectively. While
90.9% (10), 90.9% (10) and 81.8% (9) of the subjects presented adequate intake of
carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids, according
to SBD recommendations, respectively.
Conclusions: The dietary intake of the patients was characterized by the inadequacy
of proteins, saturated fatty acids, total fats and fibers. Considering the importance
of nutritional management for the treatment of this group of patients, nutrient adjustment
becomes essential.

Background: The identification of the attitudes and emotional state of people with
diabetes in relation to coping with the disease can facilitate more personalized interventions
that help to obtain better results in self-management of the treatment.
Objective: To evaluate the level of emotional stress and attitudes towards diabetes
in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) admitted to a Reference Diabetes Center of
the Unified Health System in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.
Methods: This was a crosssectional study with evaluation of patients admitted from
January 2015 to July 2017. Patients with cognitive limitations which impaired understanding
of the instruments were excluded from the evaluation. Two instruments adapted and
validated for Brazilian culture were applied: self-administered B-PAID for the measurement
of emotional distress related to daily diabetes coping (a score above or equal to
40 points indicates a high level of emotional distress) and ATT-19, a self-administered
questionnaire that assesses the attitude of the person with diabetes to the disease
(above 70 points indicates a positive attitude towards the disease).
Results: Thirty-eight individuals with T1DM met the inclusion criteria. The median
age was 34 years (10-79), with a diagnosis time of 8 years (1-26), female predominance
(57.9%) and complete primary education (52.6%). Regarding instrument scores, the average
score for B-PAID was 36.82 (1.25–80), which indicates a low stress index, with 39.4%
of participants with a high diabetesrelated stress index (> 40 points). Regarding
the sub-dimensions of B-PAID, it is observed that the predominance of stress responses
was related to emotional, followed by feeding, treatment and social support (Table 1).
In ATT-19, 73.6% of the people showed negative attitudes related to dealing with diabetes
(score < 70), with an average score of 62.56 (36-81).
Conclusion: The study indicated the need for evaluations to be carried out from diagnosis
and periodically, to guide interdisciplinary interventions and specific education
programs for people with greater diabetes negative attitudes towards diabetes (Fig.

Introduction: Fear of bad glycemic control association to diabetic complications might
affect quality of life among DM1 patients. Moreover, the psychosocial impact on health-related
quality of life (HRQoL) has not been widely evaluated yet in the Brazilian Unified
Health System (SUS).
Objective: To compare the HRQoL of DM1 patients treated by CSII, MDI and fixed dose
of insulin (FDI).
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study for the evaluation of HRQoL of DM1 patients > 18 years
of age followed at the CSII reference outpatient clinic in the Federal District SUS.
PAID Scale (Problem Area in Diabetes) validated in Brazil (B-PAID) was applied to
quantify the stress. B-PAID comprises 20 questions in four subdivisions of related
emotional problems (DM, treatment, diet, social support); score ranges 0–100 and score ≥ 40
indicates high emotional distress. Glycemic control was verified with HbA1c. Statistical
analysis: non-parametric tests and Dagun distribution (Mathematica software).
Results: Sample comprised 85 patients, 58.8% female, age 30.39 ± 10.53 years, age
at diagnosis 16.54 ± 8.9 and DM duration 14.27 ± 8.17 years. Patients education level
showed academic degree completed/in progress among 57.6 and 40% in high school, denoting
good schooling. Patients were divided into three groups: CSII (25 patients), MDI and
FDI 30 patients each. Mean HbA1c was 7.82% ± 2.13, highest value found in FDI group
(9.05% ± 2.13) and lowest in CSII patients (7.29% ± 1.98) and MDI (7.19% ± 1.73).
No correlation was found between HRQoL and glucose control, age, DM duration and age
a diagnosis. Score B-PAID ≥ 40 was found in 57.6% of whole sample and CSII and FDI
showed the highest frequency: 68 and 57%, respectively, while 50% in MDI. Overall
median score was 44.64 ± 21.42, there were no statistical differences between groups
(CSII 47.9, p = 0.41; MDI 38.1, p = 0.72; and FDI 50.0, p = 0.24). Emotional subdivision
scores were: 1.99 ± 1.45; treatment 1.4 ± 1.48; diet 1.76 ± 1,32; social support 1.19 ± 1.60;
and the highest scores were: “Worrying about the future and the possibility of serious
complications” (2.91 ± 1.09) and “Feeling guilty or anxious when you stop taking care
of your diabetes” (2,81 ± 1.14).
Conclusion: There was a high level of stress among DM1 patients, higher in the FDI
group and lower with SICI and MDI, who showed better HbA1c. Fear of future complications
represents the greatest stressful concern. Outpatient psychological support was canceled
some time ago and this gap might have contributed to reduce HRQoL, despite high-level
insulin therapy availability, and addresses the lack of an integrative psychosocial
approach faced by patients with DM1 in the SUS.

Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity seems to follow the worldwide
trends of weight gain in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), with obesity being the most
common cause of insulin resistance (IR) in children and adolescents. In recent years,
there has been an increase in the number of children and adolescents with a mixture
of both types of diabetes, these being obese and/or presenting signs of insulin resistance
and autoimmune markers for beta cells. Romualdo, Nóbrega and Escrivão, conducted a
retrospective study with children and adolescents from 5 to 14 years of age. It was
observed that those who were resistant to insulin had higher values of body mass index,
waist circumference, triglycerides and HDL-C reduction. The possibility of a relationship
between insulin resistance in young patients with DM1 has not yet been clarified and
it is what this paper intends to verify as well as its relation with z-BMI score,
insulin dose used by the patient and time of disease.
Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study based on the retrospective analysis
of medical records of the pediatric endocrinology clinic at the University Polyclinic
was performed. Patients with a diagnosis of DM1, aged between 7 and 22, who signed
the Free and Informed Consent Term were included. The following variables were evaluated:
gender, chronological age (CA) at diagnosis, CA at the time of the test, weight and
height at the exam and time of disease (TD). Laboratory tests: glycemia and fasting
insulin, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), exogenous slow insulin dose and microalbuminuria
value. IR was calculated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance
(HOMA-IR). Values of statistical significance were considered when p < 0.05. Data
analysis was performed by Microsoft Excel 2013 and SPSS version 13. The study was
approved by the Regional University of Blumenau Ethic’s Committee, approval number:
57640416.2.0000.5370.
Results: Thirty-five medical records were evaluated. Three patients did not have IR.
The 32 patients with IR were 21 females (60%), with averages of CA at diagnosis: 6.07 years,
CA at the examination: 13.38 years, TD: 7.3 years, HbA1c: 9.1% and 8 patients (22%)
presented altered values of microalbuminuria. There was no correlation between HOMA-IR
with z-BMI score, insulin dose and TD in this sample.
Conclusion: Insulin resistance could not be related to any of the variables studied
in this sample. Thus, HOMA-IR has not been shown to be a good parameter for assessing
the quality of treatment in pediatric patients with DM1 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4).

Introduction: Good control of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) consists of several educational
and psychosocial factors, emphasizing the knowledge and technique of insulin application.
The lack of theoretical and practical knowledge about insulin application techniques
may result in worsening glycemic control, resulting in possible acute and chronic
complications of the disease.
Objective: To analyze the knowledge and practice of insulin application in patients
with DM1.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted in a clinic of Sorocaba–SP, from
January to July, 2017, through a questionnaire, with questions about the technique
of insulin application, degree of schooling, duration of illness and participation
in education groups about DM1 and insulin application.
Results: Among the 75 DM1 patients evaluated, 60% were female, with a mean age of
28.4 ± 11.3 years, 1.4% of whom were not literate, 24.7% with elementary education,
54.8% with high school, 13.7% with higher education. Regarding disease time, 8% had
up to 5 years of diagnosis, while 28% had 5 to 10 years and 64% had more than 10 years
of illness. Regarding the time of outpatient follow‐up, 32.4% of the patients were
followed for more than 10 years, 96% of whom reported receiving adequate guidelines
from health professionals about insulin application techniques and 62.6% were regularly
attending the education group in diabetes. It was found that 54.6% of the patients
reused needles, mainly due to economic reasons. Only 12% of the patients had knowledge
about lipodystrophy. When asked about skin fold, 70.6% performed it correctly; 93.3%
of the patients reported site rotation, but when asked about the interval of days
to return to the same site, 85.3% had intervals of less than 10 days and only 4% between
10 and 14 days. Most patients (58.6%) waited 10 s or longer to withdraw the needle
after application.
Conclusion: After analyzing the questionnaires applied to DM1 patients, it was possible
to conclude that regardless of the level of education, adequate knowledge about insulin
application techniques and regular participation in the multidisciplinary group, adherence
to diabetes education practices was not observed. These results showed the need for
multi-professional commitment to institute educational strategies to face the challenges
of lack of adherence.

Introduction: There are several ways to improve the care of diabetic patients, such
as the investment in new treatments and diets, support groups, global actions and
health education.
Objective: Evaluate if a health education program changes the knowledge, self-care,
and attitudes of subjects with type 2 diabetes attended by a philanthropic Institution
in Nova Friburgo, RJ, Brazil.
Method: The study was approved by the Universidade Federal Fluminense Ethics Board
(CAAE 51508915.0.0000.5626). Eleven participants with type 2 diabetes were followed
up for 4 weeks. They attended health education lectures approaching diabetes physiopathology
and complications and, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides metabolism. A multiple
choice questionnaire evaluated knowledge before and after lectures. Self-care and
attitudes toward diabetes were assessed before and after lectures as well by the Summary
of Diabetes Self-Care Activities questionnaire (SDSCA) and by the Diabetes Attitudes
(ATT-19) questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, random blood glucose and blood
pressure (BP) were also evaluated before and after lectures. Data were analyzed by
GraphPad Prism 6.0 and a P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Data are presented as mean ± S.D. or percentage, and paired t-test assessed
differences. The sample consisted of 11 participants, where 36.4% were male and 64.6%
female with 58.5 ± 8.7 years old. Random blood glucose was 134.8 ± 44.8 mg/dL, systolic
BP 124.8 ± 18.2 mmHg and diastolic BP 75.4 ± 8.8 mmHg before lectures, with no change
after lectures. All anthropometric variables evaluated were not influenced by health
education, but the waist-to-hip ratio showed a trend to decrease (0.96 ± 0.05 cm vs.
0.95 ± 0.04 cm, P = 0.08). Regarding knowledge, global questionnaire grade increased
from 53.8 ± 23.3% to 65.1 ± 23.6% (P = 0.005), but the health education program did
not improve the knowledge about glucose and cholesterol metabolism. Surprisingly,
self-care score (SDSCA, 0-105 points) did not change after lectures (60.4 ± 18.1%
before vs. 61.9 ± 13.7% after, P = 0.7) and diabetes attitude score (ATT-19, 19–95
points) decreased from 51.6 ± 10.5 to 45.9 ± 11.5 points after attending the lectures
(P = 0.015).
Conclusion: Enrollment in a Health Education Program increased the knowledge of subjects
with type 2 diabetes about their condition. However, lectures did not improve self-care,
and their attitude toward their disease worsened. Informed consent to publish has
been obtained from patients.

Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) is a chronic disease that should receive
intensive treatment aimed at preventing complications. Good glycemic control depends
on patient adherence to therapy and multidisciplinary follow‐up.
Objective: To identify factors associated with the quality of glycemic control in
DM1 patients.
Methods: A cross‐sectional study through medical records review, of 66 DM1 patients
on insulin-based basal‐bolus regimen, on a regular follow‐up. Were avaluated: gender,
age, degree of schooling, illness time, follow‐up time, body mass index (BMI), and
frequency in the multidisciplinary diabetes education group (GMED) in relation to
glycemic control by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Patients were divided in two groups:
best glycemic control with HbA1c less than or equal to 7.5% and poor glycemic control
with HbA1c greater than 7.5%.
Results: Of the 66 patients, 22.7% were in the best control group: mean HbA1c was
6.6 ± 0.9%; 53.9% female, age 28.3 ± 6.5 years (6.6% between 15 and 20 years old).
Illness time was 15.9 ± 8.6 years, 30.8% between 5 and 10 years, and 69.2% longer
than 10 years. Regarding follow‐up time, 53.9% had less than 5 years and 46.1% regularly
participated in the GMED. Half of this group was eutrophic and 16.7% obese. On the
degree of schooling, 46.2% finished high school. In the poor control group, mean HbA1c
was 9.8 ± 1.9%, 60% female; mean age 27.9 ± 12.6 years, with 35.3% being aged between
15 and 20 years. Illness time was 15.5 ± 9.8 years, 5% of patients had the disease
for less than 5 years and 60% for more than 10 years. Regarding follow‐up time, 60%
had more than 5 years and 55% were assiduous to GMED. Evaluating the BMI, 57.9% were
eutrophic and 21.1% obese. And about degree of schooling, 50% finished high school.
Comparing the variables, a difference was observed between the age of the two groups:
35.3% of the patients in the group of the poor control group vs. 6.7% of the best
control group were aged between 15 and 20 years (p = 0.014).
Conclusion: Glycemic control did not correlate with disease time, outpatient follow-up,
participation in the GMED and educational level. The group with the poor glycemic
control presented a younger age group compared to the group with the best control.
The results show the difficulty of identifying variables associated and the need for
attention regarding the biopsychosocial factors involved in disease control.

Introduction: Some studies have shown the deleterious and beneficial effects of saturated
fatty acids (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively on chronic
kidney disease in patients with diabetes. However, so far these results have not been
sufficient to establish a base of dietary recommendations for these nutrients specifically.
Objective: To make a systematic review of the observational studies that analyzed
the association between the intake of SFA, monounsaturated FA (MUFA) and PUFA and
diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies published
until February 2017 were performed, researching the following bases: PubMed, LILACS,
Cochrane and EMBASE. Manual search in the cited references in previous review articles
was also made. There was no restriction for language or period in the search strategy.
Observational studies that evaluated the intake and serum composition of fatty acids
and the presence of DKD in diabetic patients were included. The data were extracted
independently and duplicated by two researches, including the year in which the studies
were performed and published, their design, size, type of population and mean and
standard deviation of the content in the diet or in the blood of SFA, MUFA and PUFA,
or confidence intervals at the lowest and highest percentile.
Results: 4933 articles were found in a systematic and manual search. After the duplicates
were removed, 4016 abstracts and titles were read by the reviewers, and 66 articles
were selected for complete reading. Finally, seven articles were included in the systematic
review and five were included in the meta-analysis. To analyze the dietary PUFA, two
studies were evaluated (339 participants). The dietary PUFA were inversely associated
with DKD (mean difference:—1.95% of energy [95% CI −3.57 to − 0.32]; P = 0.02 [I2 = 85.6%;
P = 0.009]). Two studies (748 participants) were included to analyze the serum PUFA.
An inverse association was also observed between the presence of DKD and the proportion
of serum PUFA (mean difference:− 0.63% of total FA [95% CI − 0.85 to − 0.40], P = 0.0001
[I2 = 0%, P 0.368]). In order to analyze the MUFA in the diet, two studies were evaluated
(339 participants). The MUFA presented an inverse, but not statistically significant
association with the DKD (mean difference: − 0.69% of energy [95% CI − 1.50 to 0.12];
P = 0.09 [I2 = 0.0%; P = 0.4794]). Analyzing the dietary SFA, no association with
DKD was observed.
Conclusion: In the present review, the lower intake of PUFA appears to be associated
with the presence of DKD. However, the small number of studies and great heterogeneity
among them are limiting factors for this conclusion. Further studies are needed to
evaluate the association between the intake of fatty acids and their possible effects
on kidney function in diabetic patients.

Introduction: It is not known any further study in Brazil that has evaluated the glycaemic
control for a long period and microvascular complications, wich is well demonstrated
in Caucasian population with findings from DCCT/EDIC. AIM: We have evaluated the association
between the mean of HbA1c over 10 years (m-HbA1c) and glycaemic variability assessed
by standard-deviation of HbA1c (SD-mHbA1c) with microvascular complications and it
has been attempted to identify HbA1c patterns over time and their relation to complications.
Methodology: Patients with ≥ 10 years of T1D with medical appointments in 2014 at
the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and at least 7 yrs. of HbA1c mean (≥ 1 HbA1c
measurement of certified NGSP methods/year) were selected. The Diabetic Retinopathy
was evaluated by indirect fundoscopy, Albuminuria by a single urine sample (> 17 mg/L
or 30 mg/g) or 24 h urine (30 mg/24 h), eGFR (calculated by CKD-EPI, considered reduced
if < 60 mL/min/1.73m2) and Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN), assessed by heart rate
variability tests. The 10-year HbA1c graphics of all patients have been evaluated.
Results: The sample consisted of 172 patients with mean age and T1D duration of 28.7
and 18 years respectively. The frequency of DR, IUAE, eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and
CAN were respectively 12.6% (15/119), 18.9% (22/119), 6% (8/134) and 33.9% (20/59).
The m-HbA1c was higher in patients with DR (9.8 ± 1.7% vs. 7.9 ± 1.2%; p = 0.001);
Albuminuria (9 ± 1.6% vs. 7.9 ± 1.1%; p = 0.009); eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (9.5 ± 1.8%
vs. 8.3 ± 1.4%; p = 0.032) and CAN (9.3 ± 1.3% vs. 7.5 ± 1%; p = 0.001). SD-mHbA1c
was associated with DR and CAN, being higher in these groups (1.6 ± 1.1% vs. 1 ± 0.6%;
p = 0.011) and (1.3 ± 0.7% vs. 0.9 ± 0.6%; p = 0.026). Some HbA1c patterns were identified
over time: (a) stable, (b) improvement, (c) worsening, (d) in “i”, (e) in “u”, (f)
“2 peak” and (g) anarchic and 55% patients with Albuminuria presented anarchical pattern
while most of patients without albuminuria exhibited a stable pattern (p = 0.005).
Conclusion: This study found an association between DR, reduced eGFR, IUAE and CAN
with higher HbA1c mean over 10 years. in a Brazilian sample and higher SD-mHbA1c with
DR and CAN. These findings show the importance of establishing not only an adequate
glycaemic control, but also the need to seek this, avoiding large glycaemic fluctuations,
showing the importance of the concept of metabolic memory in the development of complications
even in our population (Figs. 1, 2).

Case report: A 27-year-old male with a previous history of type 1 diabetes mellitus
since the age of 19 and an irregular disease control in this period. He was diagnosed
with celiac disease and diabetic distal polyneuropathy at the age of 27. At the same
time, a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed femur Z-score of -5.09 and
lumbar spine Z-score -3.62. Bisphosphonate and colecalciferol were promptly administered
and combined to a gluten free diet. After 1 year, bisphosphonate was discontinued
and the patient remains in regular medical care.
Discussion: The association between type 1 diabetes mellitus with autoimmune diseases
such as celiac disease is not uncommon. It is well established that both diseases
can lead to bone metabolism disfunction, which seems to be related to an imbalance
of the immune system and not only due to a nutritional or endocrine disorder.
Conclusions: The association between type 1 diabetes mellitus with autoimmune diseases,
such as Celiac Disease, seems to worse bone loss. It suggests a synergistic negative
effect of hyperglycemia and autoimmunity on bone mineral density. Specific therapies
to control this immunoregulatory imbalance and consequently bone reabsorption inhibition
are still not available.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1)
have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, among them dyslipidemia [1,
2].
Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional status and lipid profile
of children and adolescents with DM1.
Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at the Diabetes Service of a
Pediatric University Hospital of Rio de Janeiro from May 2016 to June 2017. The eligibility
criteria were: age between 7 and 16 years, diagnosis of DM1 for at least 1 year and
absence of other autoimmune diseases. The dependent variables were: total cholesterol,
HDL, LDL, triglycerides and nutritional status, evaluated by body mass index by age
(BMI/age). The independent variables were: age, family income, place of residence,
sanitation conditions, parental level of education, diabetes diagnosis time, insulin
regimen, dietary method used (traditional or carbohydrate counting method) and glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1c). All variables were obtained by means of medical records. Statistical
analysis included simple descriptive analysis (means and frequencies), Chi square
test for comparison of categorical variables and ANOVA for comparison of means. The
statistical program SPSS version 23.0 was used, and the significance level adopted
was 5% (p < 0.05).
Results: A total of 105 patients with a mean age of 11.6 (± 2.9) years were included
in the study, of which 47.6% (n = 50) were males. High levels of total cholesterol,
LDL cholesterol and triglycerides were observed in 74.3% (n = 78), 42.9% (n = 45),
15.2% (n = 16), respectively. Approximately 12.4% (n = 13) had inadequate HDL values.
The mean HbA1c was 8.27% (± 1.41). No significant differences were found in serum
lipid averages in relation to the age of the child, time of diagnosis of DM1, insulin
regimen and ethical diet method. There was an association between triglyceride levels
and inadequate glycemic control (p = 0.032).
Conclusion: The results showed a high frequency of dyslipidemia, representing an important
cardiovascular risk factor for this population. It is suggested the adoption of healthy
eating habits and lifestyle practices regardless of anthropometric nutritional status,
in order to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Introduction: Diabetes kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal
disease and current treatment is not able to fully control disease progression. New
therapeutic alternatives have been investigated and some evidence points to 25 (OH)
vitamin D deficiency as a possible factor related to the onset and/or progression
of DKD.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between 25
(OH) vitamin D levels and degree of renal damage in patients with type 2 DM.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, type 2 DM subjects. The glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) was estimated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKDEPI) equation and
measured by the 51Cr-EDTA technique. Urinary albumin excretion albumin (UAE) was assessed
by immunoturbidimetry and 25 (OH) vitamin D by the chemiluminescence technique. ROC
curve and multiple logistic regression were employed to evaluate the relationship
between vitamin D levels and renal damage.
Results: A total of 87 individuals with type 2 DM with a mean age of 61 ± 10 years
were included, of which 46 were female (53%), with DM duration of 12 ± 6 years and
self-reported white ethnicity at 81%, GFR had to be ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Figure 1
shows the vitamin D values according to GFR, both measured and estimated by equation,
categorized in levels ≥ vs. < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, demonstrating that using measured
GFR, lower vitamin D values were found inthe lower GFR group. However, no difference
was observed in vitamin D levelswhen GFR was calculated with the equation. Figure 2
shows ROC curves of the two methods of GFR, and again a relationship between reduced
GFR and lower levels of vitamin D was only observed with measured GFR.
Conclusion: The CKD-EPI equation is not able to identify the phenomenon ofvitamin
D reduction with mild loss of renal function, which is clearly detectedwith the measured
GFR (Fig. 1).

Introduction: In human nutrition the 3 main sources of trans fatty acids (TFA) are:
transformation of polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) in the rumen of animals, partial
hydrogenation of vegetal oils and process of frying foods. Several studies investigate
the difference of the impact that industrial TFA (I-TFA) and those from ruminants
exert on cardiovascular disease (CVD), finding conflicting results. Considering the
importance of the reversion of modifiable risk factors to prevent CVD in patients
with type 2 DM, it is very important to study the association between the different
sources of intake of TFA and CV risk factors and endothelial function in these patients.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the dietary TFA from ruminant (R-TFA)
sources and industrial sources, with CV risk factor and endothelial function of patients
with type 2 DM.
Methodology: Patients with type 2 DM followed in the Diabetes Outpatient Clinic at
Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre were evaluated. The clinical evaluation consisted
of glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure and detection of chronic complications
of DM. The endothelial function was determined by the Doppler study of the brachial
artery to determine its diameter and the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). The patients
made 3-day weighed food records and the diet was calculated using the Nutribase Clinical
Nutritional Manager software. A spreadsheet was constructed to calculate the TFA with
data from the Brazilian Table of Food Composition (TACO - Tabela Brasileira de Composição
dos Alimentos) and the American table (USDA). The anthropometric evaluation consisted
of measures of weight, stature and abdominal circumference (AC).
Results: 186 patients were analyzed (44% men’s; mean age: 63 years and mean body mass
index: 29.4 kg/m2). It was observed that the intake of R-TFA was associated with the
AC of higher risk CV (dependent variable) [Risk Ratio: 2.45 (95% CI 1.11—5.38); P = 0.026],
adjusted for sex and age. Also, the intake of R-TFA was associated with the greater
diameter of the brachial artery [Risk Ratio: 1.93 (95% CI 1.01—3.69); P = 0.047],
adjusted for age, hypertension and AC. No association was found between the I-TFA
sources and the CV risk factors and parameters of endothelial function.
Conclusion: The present study suggests that the greater consumption of R-TFA sources
in patients with type 2 DM is related to the greater AC and worse endothelial function.

Introduction: In Brazil, the nutritional transition presents a simultaneous aggravation
of two opposing issues: a nutritional deficiency (anemia) and a typical condition
of overeating, obesity. Few studies have evaluated this epidemiological paradox in
the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and other chronic diseases.
Objective: Evaluate the association of anemia in obese, diabetic and cardiomyopathy
patients.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out to verify the admission
data of overweight, diabetic and cardiac patients hospitalized at a cardiology reference
center in Pernambuco. Overweight was considered according to the World Health Organization
criteria (WHO, 1995) for adults (IMC ≥ 25 kg/m2) and from the cut-off point established
for the elderly (BMI > 27 kg/m2) by Lipschitiz in 1994. Anemia was considered when
serum haemoglobin results were < 13 m/dl for men and < 12 mg/dl for women. The study
was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the University of Pernambuco
hospital under the protocol number 656.800/2014. Statistical analyzes were performed
in the software SPSS, v. 13.0, adopting statistical significance when p < 0.05.
Results: From the sixty patients evaluated, the mean age was estimated at 60.7 (±10.5)
years, and 53.4% were female. The prevalence of anemia in diabetic patients with overweight
was 41%, similar in both sexes (p = 0.846) and in adults and elderly (p = 0.951).
Conclusions: The high prevalence of anemia in diabetic patients with overweight highlights
the need for an investigation, monitoring and prevention of this condition, regardless
the nutritional condition of the individual. In addition, it is important to study
other issues related to diabetes that may contribute to anemia, favoring its prevention.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent metabolic change
in pregnancy. The impact of their screening on maternal and perinatal morbidity and
mortality for women treated in the Basic Health Care is questioned. The Ministry of
Health (MH) recommends universal screening at the first prenatal visit through fasting
glycemia (FG) and clinical risk factors for GDM. The prenatal diagnosis of GDM is
fundamental and its approach improves the prognosis of gestation.
Objectives: To verify the association between GDM screening (according to what MH
advocates) and the repercussions on maternal outcomes in women who underwent prenatal
care in the basic health care in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, and had
their births at the University Hospital of Santa Maria-RS (HUSM).
Methods: This descriptive-transversal study evaluated 283 puerperal women who underwent
their prenatal care in the basic health care system through an interview, analysis
of medical records and the Pregnant Woman‘s Card, and had their deliveries in HUSM
between January and April 2015. Informed consent to publish has been obtained from
patients. The study was approved by University of Santa Cruz do Sul Institutution‘s
Ethics Board, approval number 37290714700005343.
Results: Data collected were allocated to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS) version 20.0, with a descriptive statistical analysis and a Chi square test
with significance of 0.05. In this sample, 53% of women were overweight according
the Body Mass Index (BMI), being the most observed risk factor for GDM. 27.9% of the
puerperal women were overweight and 25.1% were obese. Among the puerperal women, 14.5%
did not undergo GDM screening through FG. The prevalence of positive screening in
this sample was 86.4%. The most frequent maternal outcomes were preterm labor (12.4%),
maternal tocotraumatism and lacerations (5.3%), preeclampsia in various degrees (3.9%)
and premature amniorrexis (2.1%). Placental abruption occurred in two cases. There
was a significant association of pregnant women with positive screening only with
preeclampsia outcome.
Conclusion: Many of the maternal and fetal outcomes are known to be preventable. For
this, the identification of DMG through adequate screening and early control of its
risk factors is essential in the application of prenatal care actions by the health
team of the basic network in the region studied in order to minimize them.

Introduction: Phase Angle (PA) has been related to the integrity of cell membranes,
as a good prognostic indicator, with the general health and nutritional status of
the patients. The hyperglycemia can be triggered by adverse and characteristics of
the hospital routine; the metabolic stress is one of the main causes. It has already
been shown that hyperglycemia is a common outcome observed in hospitalized patients;
capable of causing cellular glycotoxicity. In addition it is considered marker of
poor prognosis for serious patients, both clinical and surgical.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of hyperglycemia and its association with PA
in hospitalized surgical patients.
Methods: A prospective longitudinal study was performed at Clinical Hospital in Belo
Horizonte, Brazil. Patients PA was calculated by electrical bioimpedance in three
moments: before, postoperative and hospital discharge moments. Blood glucose was also
collected before and postprandial capillary glycemia and the average values were considered.
Results above 140 mg/dL were classified as hyperglycemia. To compare the glycemic
averages, according to the categorization of the PA; the Ancova Test was used. For
all analyzes a significance level of 5% was adopted.
Results: Fifty patients were analyzed, and 33.3% presented hyperglycemia. The mean
glucose levels observed were 120 ± 33 mg/dL, 135 ± 37 mg/dL and 125 ± 37 mg/dL at
the before, postoperative and hospital discharge moments, respectively. In the paired
analysis, hyperglycemia was observed with significantly higher postoperative values
(135.35 ± 37.57 mg/dL) in relation to hospital discharge (125.68 ± 37.21);(p = 0.031).
There was a higher frequency of noninfectious complications among diabetic individuals
(50.0% vs. 24.8%, p = 0.23). Ancova test showed a significant difference between the
glycemic groups, according to the categorization of PA, and patients with nutritional
risk showed higher blood glucose levels in relation to patients without nutritional
risk: (133.11 ± 8.7 vs. 115, 99 ± 4.6 p = 0.089).
Conclusion: The importance of glycemic evaluation in hospitalized patients before
and after surgical intervention is highlighted, in order to verify if there are significant
alterations in relation to moments, outcomes and if this, and to date, this study
was the first to evaluate the association between PA and hyperglycemia in the hospital.
Future studies are necessary to verify the depth of this association.

Case report: a 54-year-old female was admitted with a medical history of type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2D), hypertension, non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease, and lower
extremity ulcers. For the treatment of the ulcers the patient underwent debridement
and received antibiotics (ATB). Subsequently, the patient sought a hospital with chief
complaint of dyspnea and was diagnosed with pneumonia (sic) and treated with use of
ATB. Then, she presented with anasarca and fever. There was no leukocytosis probably
due to the use of ATB. On the physical examination, mitral murmur was found. On the
echocardiogram the patient showed mitral and tricuspid insufficiency and vegetation
in the mitral valve, indicating infective endocarditis. At the time of admission,
the patient presented pleural effusion, high serum urea levels (142 mg/dl), hyperglycemia
(256 mg/dL of serum glucose), and low serum albumin levels (2.6 g/dL). After 6 days,
the mitral valve was replaced by a bioprosthetic valve, and a tricuspid valve cerclage
was performed. Postoperative blood transfusions were required. She went into cardiac
arrest and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed successfully. Ten day later
she presented with arrhythmia, cardiopulmonary arrest, sepsis and then she died.
Discussion: Infective endocarditis is a microbial infection of the endocardial surface
of the heart. It mainly affects heart valves, most commonly the mitral valve. Common
etiologies are: use of injectable drugs, oral infection, long-term hemodialysis, and
diabetes mellitus. The Duke Criteria was used for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis.
In this case report we present a case of a patient with type 2 diabetes who evolved
with an infective endocarditis. The patient’s uncontrolled glycemia led to worsening
of endocarditis
Final comments: Adequate management of T2D can prevent complications such as lower
extremity ulcers, consequently avoiding hematogenic dissemination and infective endocarditis.
We must consider the previous antibiotic use when analyzing the patient‘s white blood
cell count.

Diabetes mellitus is a public health problem which assails millions of people around
the world, and its cause can have not only hereditary factors but also environmental.
The biggest worry for the health system is in relation to the lack of control of the
disease by the sufferers, what can lead to a big number of consequences that can be
disabling or even fatal. An important fact of the chronic phase of the disease allied
to the lack of control is the appearance of skin lesions, as ulcers, which can be
a simple injured or cut and progress to skin cavities formation. For the treatment
of these wounds it was proposed the analysis of these wound healing through the use
of a gel made from the green banana skin per 10%. This study took place in NAEENF
(Nursery Assistance and Teaching Center) in the city of Pouso Alegre-MG and it was
composed by 30 patients who used the gel from the green banana skin per 10% for 1 month.
The protocol was approved by the Ethics Comitee of UNIVÁS (Vale do Sapucaí University)
with the CAAE 48017915.6.0000.5102 and the Approval Report number 1.575.890.The results
were the complete healing in 9 patient s. The initial average of the wounds was 32.89 mm2
and it finished in the eighth collection representing 22.45 mm2. The average was 19.94 mm2
for 10.30 mm2. By making the central tendencies measures there was significance in
the obtained general results of the whole group (p < 0.001). We can conclude that
the gel made from the green banana skin per 10% has a healing action in chronic ulcers

Introduction: The effects of dapaglifozin inducing glycosuria, reducing hyperglycemia
optimizing weight control and declining of pressure level is already well known in
patients with diabetes type 2, however there are still a few studies abouts its use
in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1). As the phenotype of patients with
diabetes mellitus type 1 have been modified with 25% showing metabolic syndrome, becames
necessary the use of supplementary therapies to insulin.
Purpose: Assess the potential benefits and adverse effects of Dapaglifozin in a population
with DM1 followed in particular offices in Salvador/BA city.
Methods: Observational and retrospective study in which they were analysed the medical
recordo f patients with DM1 who made use of this medication in dose of 10 mg/day through
3-6 months.
Results: Twelve patients with DM1 were assessed, 10 females with average rate of 37.5 years.
The average weight was 68.3 kg and 65.3 kg before and after therapy with dapaglifozin
respectively (p = 0.002). The average BMI decreased from 26.1 to 25.4 kg/m2 after
treatment (p = 0.002). There was a significant decrease in glicated hemoglobina (HbA1c)
after therapy with Dapaglifozin (p = 0.002). There was a tendency to decrease of total
colesterol, LDL and triglycerides (p = 0.260). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased
from a median of 120 mmHg to a mediano f 115 mmHg befora and after therapy with Dapaglifozin
respectively (p = 0.02). With regard to dyastolic blood pressure a decrease in median
values were noticed, however without statistic relevance (p = 0.059). Correlation
among the use of Dapaglifozin and decreasing of basal insulin was found (p = 0.012).
Values of creatinina did not change after us of adjuvante therapy (p = 0.207). With
regard to adverse effects, 8.3% of patients presented urinary tract infection (UTI),
33.3% pain or pruritus on genital region and 8.3% ketoacidosis.
Conclusion: The presente study describes the uso of dapaglifozin and its beneficial
and adverse effects in a population with DM1. Statistic significant decrease of Hba1C,
body weight and BMI, in addition to tendency of increasing lipid profile were observed.
Other studies are needed to ratify possible benefits and safety of this class of medication
in patients with DM1.

Background and aims: Postmenopausal is linked to modifications in blood hormone level
and a progressive decrease in physical activity contributing to changes in metabolism
and overweight, leading to an inflammatory status. This aging process and Diabetes
Mellitus are strongly correlated with many chronic diseases and in this context, women
warrant special attention. Lifestyle changes may modulate these disturbances among
postmenopausal women. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of recreational
soccer combined with a calorie restricted diet on metabolic and hormonal responses
of untrained postmenopausal women with T2DM vs. diet alone.
Materials and methods: Twenty-one (n = 21) untrained postmenopausal women with T2DM
aged 48-74 years were randomized into a soccer + diet group (SDG; n = 9) and a diet
group (DG; n = 12). Training sessions were held for 40 min, 3 times per week for 12 weeks.
Dual-energy X-ray, treadmill testing, and fasting blood samplings were performed before
and post 12 weeks.
Results: Maximal oxygen uptake increased only in the SDG (P < 0.05) while a decrease
(P < 0.05) was observed in DG after 12 weeks. HBA1c decreased (P < 0.05) by ~ 10%
in both SDG and DG after 12 weeks. In all groups, bone mineral density increased (P < 0.05)
by ~ 0.03 g/cm2, fat mass decreased (P < 0.05) by ~ 3 kg, and lean body mass was not
altered ~ 46 kg (P > 0.05). Baseline triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol were reduced
(P < 0.05) by 23.9% (35.0 ± 1.6 mg/dL) and 23.5% (6.9 ± 0.4 mg/dL), respectively,
while HDL-cholesterol was increased (P < 0.05) by 8.1% (3.7 ± 1.1 mg/dL) in the SDG.
Total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol was unaltered (P > 0.05) in both groups. Luteinizing
hormone (LH) levels decreased (P < 0.05) in SDG after 12 weeks intervention (Pre:
25.0 ± 3.1 vs. Post: 20.3 ± 3.8 IU/L), whereas the diet group alone did not alter
(Fig. 1)
.

Conclusion: Soccer training improved lipids profile in postmenopausal women probably
related to increased fat oxidation rate post-training due to the multiple intense
actions, stimulating musculoskeletal and cardiovascular adaptations. Lower LH levels
may be associated with reduced risk in the prevalence of breast cancer in postmenopausal
women, suggesting a potential mechanism of the favorable effect produced by regular
training and weight reduction on neoplastic prevention. Thus, recreational soccer
training plus diet resulted in large benefits on health profile of T2DM, decreasing
risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer better than diet alone.

Background: Social media are spaces that favor interaction between people, irrespective
of social level and geographical position. Blogs and social networks are examples
of social media used daily by a large part of the population, including as a means
of creating content that promotes connection between people with common interests.
Objective: The objective of this study was to report the experience with the first
year use of the Blog Diabetes Diamantina as a diabetes education tool.
Materials and methods: The Blog Diabetes Diamantina (www.diabetesdiamantina.blogspot.com.br)
was created in March 2016 and became active in May of the same year (Fig. 1). Publications
covered content produced by students and university professors or, in some cases,
were publications adapted of national and/or international organizations of diabetes.
The Blog database was accessed monthly from its creation until July 8, 2017 for analysis.
Posts have been sorted into 7 categories. Subsequently, the total number of publications,
content visualizations and readers‘countries of origin were identified. The data were
analyzed and described. Results Sixty publications in the Portuguese language were
produced, including texts, videos and images (Fig. 2). The subjects were classified
as: complications of diabetes (n = 9), nutrition (n = 6), therapeutics/clinical aspects
(n = 12), cell biology (n = 3), obesity (= 4), exercise (n = 2) and education (n = 24).
The Blog received 67,546 views by national and international readers until the month
of July. Currently, in October 2017 the number increased to almost 70 thousand views
(Figs. 1 and 4). The United States was the main country from origin of the readers,
followed by Brazil, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Chile, Mexico, France, Argentina,
Spain and Russia (Fig. 3). Some Blog posts have been shared on Fanpage Diabetes Diamantina,
a social network of diabetes education that publishes in the Portuguese, English and
Spanish languages, which possibly justifies the origin of international access to
the Blog.
Conclusion: The Blog proved to be a favorable tool for sharing information about diabetes
mellitus, since its access reached Brazil and other countries. The Blog reinforced
the integration relations between the use of technology, the University and the Society.
This tool has renewed awareness and encouraged social participation among people interested
in updates on diabetes. In addition, it provided innovative experiences to students
involved in the use of the social media in diabetes education actions with bidirectional
interaction between different social agents interconnected in this type of online
health education. The authors are grateful to the CNPq, FAPEMIG and UFVJM for the
support (Fig. 4).

Introduction: There is an increasing prevalence of young-onset diabetes, especially
in developing areas. Also, there is increasing recognition that the phenotype of YT2DM
is more severe than type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
in older adults, with a lower response to metformin, a more rapid evolution for insulin
dependence. Further, the youth may be more susceptible to the development of some
complications. At the moment there are no data on YT2DM in Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in a brazilian YT2DM group compared
to T1DM and T2DM.
Patients and Methods: YT2DM was defined as age between 18 and 39 years at the diagnosis,
T1DM and DM2 according to the criteria of the SBD and ADA. We abstracted clinical
data from electronic medical, laboratory records.
Results: The age at diagnosis of YT2DM (n = 61), T1DM (n = 26) and T2DM (n = 39) groups
were, respectively: 29.8 ± 5.1, 25.8 ± 6.0 and 50.5 ± 8.4 years. The duration of diabetes
was 22.3 ± 12.1 years (YT2DM), 13.5 ± 7.5 (T1DM), 17.3 ± 6.4 (T2DM). The BMI of YT2DM,
T1DM and T2DM was 31.9 ± 5.5, 23.7 ± 3.3 and 29 ± 4.8 kg/m2. HbA1c (%) was 9.1 ± 1.9
(YT2DM), 8.8 ± 1.5 (T1DM) and 8.8 ± 1.6 (T2DM). YT2DM compared to T1DM showed a higher
percentage of retinopathy (55.7 vs 26.9%, p 0.018), nephropathy (55.7 vs 30.8%, p
0.019) and neuropathy (62.3 vs 19.2% p 0.0002). Cardiovascular events showed superiority
trend in YT2DM group (27.9 vs 11.5% p = 0.09) compared to T1DM. The percentage of
complications, either micro (retinopathy (55.7 s 51.3% p 0.68), nephropathy (55.7
vs 53.8%, p < 1.0), neuropathy (62.3 vs 51.3%, p < 0.21) as macro (27.9 vs 33%, p = 0.66)
were not significant, when compared YT2DM to T2DM.
Conclusions: YT2DM compared to T1DM with a similar age of onset, duration of diabetes
and similar glycemic control was more aggressive in relation to microangiopathy. In
relation to T2DM, YT2DM was similar. Glycemic control and screening of microangiopathy
should be intensified in YT2DM.
A49 Brittle diabetes in a patient with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type 2 (schmidt’s
syndrome), neurogenic bladder and psycho-familial distress: a case report

Introduction: Brittle diabetes occurs in a small group of patients with type 1 diabetes
and is characterized by a severe instability of glycaemic levels, with frequent and
unpredictable episodes of hypo or hyperglycaemia. The individuals with brittle diabetes
are predominately young women and they use twice as much insulin than usual. The causes
of the instability are varied and the prevalence of psychosocial distress is high
in these patients. The type 1 diabetes is one of the components of Schmidt’s syndrome,
a rare autoimmune syndrome.
Objective: To report a case of brittle diabetes in a patient with Schmidt’s syndrome
and neurogenic bladder, as well as psycho-familial distress.
Case report: R.A.S, 28 years old, woman, single, presented with a picture of urinary
retention in 2002, which was then characterized as neurogenic bladder. She has always
used catheterization procedure for bladder drainage thereafter. In the following months
of the initial presentation, the patient had a ketoacidosis episode and was diagnosed
with type 1 diabetes. From the beginning, the glycaemic levels control has proved
to be extremely difficult, even after trying different types of high dose insulin.
In addition, the patient was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2013, and after treatment
with radioactive iodine, she developed renal insufficiency. After 7 months of haemodialysis,
her renal function was unexpectedly recovered. In 2015, she started using a pump for
continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, which contributed for the attenuation of
glycaemic instability and improved her quality of life. In 2016, the patient developed
adrenal insufficiency, which together with type 1 diabetes and thyroid dysfunction
characterizes Schmidt’s syndrome. Regarding the psycho-familial distress, she has
had traumas in her childhood, she lives by her own since she was 14 years old and
she does not have any family support. The medicines used by this patient includes
prednisone, levothyroxine and ultra-fast insulin. The patient is assisted by a multidisciplinary
team.
Conclusion: Brittle diabetes is a severe condition that requires constant vigilance
from the patient as well as from the professionals involved. In addition to the other
endocrine dysfunctions that this patient presents, there is the poor family support
and consequent negative psychological impact. This psycho-familial aspect possibly
plays an important role in the genesis and maintenance of the glycaemic instability.

Case 1: A 45-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 6 years of diabetes
duration (DD) presented with a complaint of severe lumbar pain (Verbal Numeric Rating
Scale ‚VNRS‚ 10 out of 10) since the last 2 months. The characteristics of pain were
paroxysmal, with nocturnal worsening, and irradiated to the left thigh. One month
after the pain, this was associated with quadriceps weakness, which was initially
asymmetrical and progressing to bilateral. Three weeks later, the patient presented
crural paraplegia and could not walk. Physical examination (PE) revealed severe quadriceps
wasting and bilateral patellar areflexia. Electroneuromyography showed asymmetric
polyneuropathy and axonal degeneration, suggestive of Bruns-Garland (BG) syndrome.
Consequently, the patient was started with prednisone (60 mg/day). After 30 days,
he recovered the quadriceps strength, improved the sleep pattern and returned to walking.
The pain was successfully managed with the combination of pregabalin and duloxetine
(VNRS of 4 out of 10).
Case 2: A 68-year-old male with T2DM and 7 years of DD presented with a six-month
history of intense burning pain in his right shoulder (VNRS 8 out of 10), with irradiation
to the entire arm. 15 days after began the symptoms, deltoid weakness was observed.
On PE, there was a right deltoid atrophy; therefore, a Parsonage-Turner (PT) syndrome
was diagnosed. Although the patient had had a good response to pain after 12 months
(VNRS of 0 out of 10) with the combination of pregabalin and imipramine, he developed
severe depression. Discussion: BG and PT are diabetic radiculoplexus neuropathies
(DRN) and can develop serious complications as paraplegia, chronic pain, insomnia,
and depression. By contrast with the more common diabetic polyneuropathy, DRN usually
manifests as an intense and acute or subacute focal pain that progresses to muscle
weakness. Since DRN is an immune-mediated condition, the use of corticoids or intravenous
immune globulin has been used in patients with onset of symptoms in the preceding
30-60 days. Improvement of pain, muscle weakness, and quality of life (QOL) has been
reported following corticoid immunosuppression.
Conclusions: DRN is an overlooked condition that requires both a high level of suspicion
and a careful clinical examination. An early diagnosis is essential to the success
of immunotherapy, which can reverse this syndrome improving plegia, pain, insomnia,
and quality of life of these patients.

Background: The 10-g monofilament test is widely used in clinical practice for the
detection of neuropathic impairment. Alterations in this test reflect the involvement
of large fibers, which occurs late in DM. Neuropathic pain reflects the involvement
of small fibers, which occurs early in diabetes mellitus (DM) [1]. Cardiovascular
autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which is a serious complication even if subclinical, also
results from the involvement of small fibers [1]. It is therefore possible that neuropathic
pain is more related to the presence of CAN and the early stage of this condition.
Objective: This study evaluated the frequency of CAN in type 2 diabetic patients with
painful polyneuropathy (PNP), but without known autonomic dysfunction, or signs or
symptoms of CAN. Materials and Methods: Type 2 diabetic patients with PNP (based on
signs and symptoms of neuropathic impairment), who reported no exercise intolerance
and who had no known autonomic dysfunction (e.g., gastroparesis, neurogenic bladder)
and no postural hypotension or resting tachycardia, were selected. Patients with conditions
that can also cause neuropathy or interfere with the evaluation proposed were excluded.
A control group without DM, which was similar in terms of sex, age and BMI, was studied.
Tests evaluating heart rate variability (HRV) during deep breathing, Valsalva maneuvers
and orthostatism, and spectral analysis of HRV (spectral amplitude in the three bands:
very low-frequency, low-frequency, and high-frequency) [2] were performed.
Results: Thirty patients (22 women and 8 men) aged ≥ 40 years (mean 63 years), with
a mean BMI of 28.6 kg/m2 and diagnosed with DM2 at least 3 years ago (mean 15.4 years)
were included. The mean value of the last HbA1c was 8.8%. Eleven patients (36.6%)
had a definite diagnosis of CAN (≥ 3 altered tests [2]) and 3 patients had 1 altered
test. None of the subjects of the control group had any altered test (100% specificity).

Conclusion: In patients with DM2 and PNP, but without known autonomic dysfunction,
or signs or symptoms of CAN, HRV tests detected subclinical CAN in 36.6%, with 100%
specificity. Compliance with Ethical Standards The study was approved by the Research
Ethics Committee of our institution. Informed consent was obtained from all individual

Background: Symmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy (PN) is a known complication of
diabetes mellitus (DM). Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is another possible
complication of the involvement of nerve fibers in DM. It is therefore reasonable
to imagine the CAN is present in patients with PN.
Objective: This study evaluated the frequency of subclinical CAN in patients with
DM2, but without PN, known autonomic dysfunction, or signs or symptoms of CAN.
Materials and methods: Type 2 diabetic patients without PN (based on signs and symptoms
of neuropathic impairment), who reported no exercise intolerance and who had no known
autonomic dysfunction (e.g., gastroparesis, neurogenic bladder) and no postural hypotension
or resting tachycardia, were selected. Patients with conditions that can also cause
neuropathy or interfere with the evaluation proposed were excluded. A control group
without DM, which was similar in terms of sex, age and BMI, was studied. Tests evaluating
heart rate variability (HRV) during deep breathing, Valsalva maneuvers and orthostatism,
and spectral analysis of HRV (spectral amplitude in the three bands: very low-frequency,
low-frequency, and high-frequency) [1, 2] were performed.
Results: Twenty-four patients (17 women and 7 men) aged ≥ 40 years (mean 63 years),
with a mean BMI of 27 kg/m2 and diagnosed with DM2 at least 3 years ago (mean 9.5 years)
were included. The mean value of the last HbA1c was 7%. Four patients (16.6%) had
a diagnosis of CAN, which was incipient in 3 (≥ 2 altered tests [1, 2]) and definite
in 1 (3 altered tests [1,2]). None of the subjects of the control group had any altered
test (100% specificity).
Conclusion: In patients with DM2, but without PN, known autonomic dysfunction, or
signs or symptoms of CAN, HRV tests detected subclinical CAN in 16.6%, with 100% specificity.
The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of our institution. Informed
consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study (Fig.

Introduction: Monogenic diabetes due to glucokinase (GCK-MODY) and hepatocyte nuclear
factor-1 homeobox A (HNF1A-MODY) mutations are the most common forms of MODY. Little
is known about cardiovascular (CV) risk profile of subjects with these forms of diabetes.
Together with clinical and biochemical data and some scores as Framingham, coronary
artery calcium (CAC) score has shown good predictive value for coronary artery disease
(CAD).
Objectives: assess CV risk by CAC score in GCK-MODY (GCK) and HNF1A-MODY(HNF1A).
Methods: Ninety-one individuals without CAD have been assessed for CV risk factors
by clinical and laboratory data using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),
Framingham Risk Score, Metabolic Syndrome (IDF), and CAC score with multi-slice computed
tomography (Agatston score). We considered CAC > 10U as marker of subclinical atherosclerosis:
27 individuals with GCK-MODY(GCK) from 15 families and 8 individuals with HNF1A-MODY(HNF1A)
from 4 families, 24 with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and 28 normoglycemic controls (C)
(age-BMI-matched spouses or non-affected relatives of MODY patients),statistics by
ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis, significance P < 0.05,
Results: See Table 1.
Conclusions: Our data suggest GCK-MODY subjects to have lower CV risk than other common
forms of DM such as T2D, with CV risk similar to control individuals and bearing a
low long-term risk despite lifelong hyperglycemia. HNF1A subjects, conversely, have
high CV risk comparable to T2DM and this has to be taken into account in the clinical
follow-up of these individuals (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Identifying asymptomatic patients with increased cardiovascular risk
(CVR) is fundamental for the implementation of therapeutic strategies aiming to more
rigid risk factor control goals.
Objectives: To evaluate the CVR profile and the achievement of LDLc targets in type
2 diabetic patients treated at diabetes outpatient clinic.
Methods: Cross-sectional study with electronic data collection of patients treated
in July 2017 for the following variables: age, sex, duration of diabetes, total cholesterol,
HDLc, HbA1C systolic BP,history of hypertension treatment, smoking, coronary artery
disease, stoke, peripheral vascular disease, atrial fibrillation(AF) and statin use
and doses. The Framingham calculator (Wilson 2008) was used to evaluate CVR in patients
aged 30-74 years and without history of previous events. The consensus of the AACE
2017 was used as a reference to define the lipid goals according to the degree of
risk. The percentage of patients that were within the proposed goal were evaluated.
Data were described as mean ± SD (min–max) and frequencies.
Results: 127 patients were evaluated, of which 33 (26%) had previous history of at
least one cardiovascular event. The mean age was 62.9 ± 10.9 (28-91) years, and the
duration of diabetes was 16.5 ± 10.7 (1-56) years. The following frequencies were
found for the evaluated variables: female 61.4%, hypertension 93.7%, AF 1.6%, smoking
9.4%. The CVR was calculated in 84 patients: 61.9% were classified as high risk, 29.8%
as intermediate risk and 8.3% as low risk. The percentage of patients with established
cardiovascular disease (CVD) who presented LDLc below 70 mg/dl, according to the goal,
was only 39.4%. Among the patients without CVD, 55.3% presented LDL-c below 100 mg/dl
according to the goal. Statin use was observed in 109 (85.8%) and none of the patients
were using the maximum dose.
Conclusion: Although the patients ‘profile was high in CVR, the proportion with LDL-c
outside the goals established by the AACE consensus was high, pointing to the need
for improvement in statin therapy. The prescription of more potent statins and in
higher doses is often hampered by the financial difficulties of the patients attended
in public clinics.

Background: Being a rare form of presentation of Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM1), Mauriac
Syndrome (MS) is characterized by the symptomatology of hepatomegaly, growth retardation
and diabetes with poor metabolic control of long evolution. It is reversible with
improved metabolic control of the patient.
Case presentation: A 15-year-old male patient, during the 6-year diagnosis of DM1,
presented a history of poor glycemic control, growth retardation and development,
hepatomegaly, and dyslipidemia. Makes continuous use of insulin, enalapril, simvastatin
and gabapentin, for neuropathic pain. Also presents Arterial Hypertension with investigation
of normal secondary causes (renal ultrasound (US) and normal metanephrines). During
an investigation of low weight gain with occasional abdominal pain, he had no antibodies
or clinical history compatible with celiac disease. Laboratory screening revealed
a significant increase in transaminases, with viral and autoimmune markers that did
not justify liver injury. US liver suggestive of enlarged liver with diffusely high
density. Normal proteins lectrophoresis. In spite of 3 years of insulin therapy, his
weight-height curve was reduced to values lower than the percentile 3, which is maintained
until now. No delay in psychomotor development, with good school performance. Tanner
G1P1 classification (pubertal delay). Last hospitalization at age 14 was scheduled
to evaluate adherence to treatment and dose adjustment, as A1c reached 18.2%. After
this measure, with the intervention of a team composed of endocrinologists, psychologist,
social worker, nurses and educators in diabetes, it returns to adequate metabolic
control and after one year there was a reduction of A1c to 7.1%. Patient is now conscientious
and adherent to treatment and with good response in weight gain and height (Fig. 1).

Conclusions: The diagnosis of MS is clinical and should be early. The prognosis is
reserved, although the treatment is the same as in the traditional forms of DM1. Hepatic
growth is a sign of inadequate glycemic control, in the exclusion of other secondary
causes. Adequate patient therapy accelerated the growth curve and pubertal development.
MS is a rare complication of poorly controlled DM1, the attending physician should
be attentive to perform differential diagnoses, and thus, be able to perform timely
interventions.

Case report: Female patient, 43 years old, DM1 for 35 years, compensated hypothyroidism,
grade 1 central obesity, SOAS, former smoker (aged > 20 years), current treatment
(CIIS) and OAD (metformin; iSGT2, offlabel), mean HbA1c 8.0%. MI positive Family history
(father died at age of 44 years). Painful diabetic polyneuropathy (PDPN) screening
was absent and Installed cardiac autonomic neuropathy (ICAN) presente with high heart
rate (HR, 95 bpm). Beta-blocker and thioctic acid HR 600 mg were initiated and she
was referred to a cardiologista. Angiotomography could not be performed due to bronchospasm
and further catheterization showed severe lesion in anterior descending artery (AD)
and pharmacological stent was implanted. Reevaluation 8 months later showed CAN change
to Incipient rather than Installed and HR reduced to 75 bpm.
Discussion: CAN is a DM frequent complication and considered a cardiovascular risk
marker due to its association with silent infarctions, arrhythmias, sudden death.
CAN is evaluated through cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTS) and cardiac
frequency spectral analysis (CARTS and HR; Ewing DJ, 1986), respectively. CAN: Absent
(0-1 abnormal test: sensitivity 99%); Incipient (2 abnormal tests: specificity 98%);
Installed (3 abnormal tests, specificity 99%); Severe (3 abnormal tests and systolic
hypotension). CARTS are non-invasive, have high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility,
easy to perform (time 20-30 min) and are golden standard for CAN. Overt changes indicate
56% mortality in 5 years (Vinik A, 2007). Screening should be performed after 5 year
duration of DM1 independently of clinical symptoms (rest tachycardia, syncope, palpitation
or weakness). Patient has never been investigated either for CAN or coronary heart
disease.
Final comments: CAN is a strong predictor of CVR, early diagnosis and treatment increase
survival and quality of life. However, CARTS have not been performed into the endocrinological
or cardiologic clinical routine. This poor approach contribute to subdiagnosis, higher
risk of sudden death and may explain the lack of studies of CAN following myocardial
revascularization.

Case presentation: Female patient, 56 years old, DM1 since 10 years of age, no smoker.
Current treatment: insuline glargine + ultra fast acting insulin. Screening: severe
diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and installed cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN).
Angiotomography and coronary artery calcium score (CAC): diffuse calcification in
anterior descending artery (AD), circumflex, marginal and right coronary arteries
without possibility of determining stenosis due to intensity of calcification. Immediate
catheterization was performed as AD showed 70% occlusion requesting a drug-eluting
stent implantation.
Discussion: DPN and CAN are frequently associated DM complications. CAN is considered
a marker of cardiovascular risk (CVR) and it is associated with silent infarctions,
arrhythmias, sudden death. DPN and CAN were evaluated by validated protocols (Abbot
C, 2011; Gomes MB, 2012 and Ewing DJ, 1986): Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS), cardiovascular
autonomic reflex tests (CARTS) and heart rate, respectively. Painful DPN presente
(PDPN) if score of signs ≥ 3 and symptoms ≥ 5; CAN: Absent (0-1 abnormal test: sensitivity
99%); Incipient (2 abnormal tests: specificity 98%); Installed (3 abnormal tests,
specificity 99%); Severe (3 abnormal tests and systolic hypotension). CARTS are non-invasive,
have good sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and are easily performed (20-30 min),
thus are considered gold standard. Abnormalities indicate 56% mortality in 5 years
(Vinik A, 2007) and screening must be performed after 5 years of DM1 diagnosis. Patient
had never been investigated for CAN neither for coronary heart disease. Strong relationship
between PDPN and CAN as a result of small nervous fiber (pain and autonomic innervation,
Testfaye S, 2010). ACCORD STUDY (2010) showed that CAN + DPN were the greatest predictors
of cardiovascular death; and DCCT/EDIC (2013) the association of DM duration, age
at DM diagnosis and CVR alluding a “metabolic memory” effect which influenced the
lower incidence. Finally, Vinik A and Ziegler D (2007) points out CAN as a vector
of the CVR.
Conclusion: Coexistence of CAN + DPN increases CVR, but are still underdiagnosed and
subtreated. CAC with our without scan is not routinely used to screen CVR. The presente
case is a clear example of lack of proper approach 2 and reinforces the need of screening,
early diagnosis and prompt treatment of cardiovascular complications among DM1 patients.

Case presentation: A 24-year-old male, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1)
for 12 years, presented progressive of walking difficulties 5 years ago, associated
with dizziness, weakness, and tachycardia at rest with hypotension. The patient had
a history of poor glycemic control, with no evidence of nephropathy, retinopathy,
and serum potassium levels within normal limits. Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS)
was carried out, presenting 10 out of 10 points, classified as severe impairment.
Because of an extremely significant clinical condition, with no evidence of microvascular
compromise, hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism (HH) was investigated. He was submitted
to the posture test, with aldosterone dosage and renin plasma activity, without a
significant increase in his values. Subsequently, the patient was exposed to the exogenous
ACTH test, with the administration of ACTH 250mcg intravenous and dosages of serum
cortisol and aldosterone at times 0‘, 30‘, 60‘. There was an elevation of serum cortisol
to levels above the limit of normality (18 mcg/dL), discarding primary adrenal insufficiency,
and aldosterone levels at the lower limit of normal (attached tables). Even tests
without confirmation, the use of fludrocortisone 0.2 mg/day was started as a therapeutic
test. The patient progressed with an improvement of the blood pressure (BP) and dizziness.
Discussion: HH is an uncommon condition, often associated with DM1, and such diagnosis
is considered a challenge to the endocrinologist. Pathophysiology is supported by
two main factors: reduction of aldosterone and renin production, secondary to autonomic
neuropathy of the juxtaglomerular cells. HH has the effect of reducing angiotensin
II, leading to hydro electrolytic disorders such as hyperkalemia, as well as BP deregulation.
Recent studies showing this association are scarce due to the difficulty in diagnosis
and lack of knowledge of this complication.
Final comments: The patient described presents an unusual clinical condition, incompatible
with a standard laboratory HH picture, which may be justified by the probable autonomic
neuropathy, triggered by denervation of the glomerular zone, with subtle elevations
in aldosterone levels, without suppression of plasma renin. In conclusion, HH is a
group of diseases that are difficult to diagnose and may manifest in atypical forms.
Therefore, the dedication of the medical team should be expanded to avoid underdiagnosis
of this condition. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are immune receptors involved in inflammation
and are mostly activated by fatty acids and endotoxins. TLRs are present in inflammatory
states such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. TLR4 and TLR7 receptors, for example,
have been associated with chronic inflammation, impaired immune function and type
1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while TLR10 is an anti-inflammatory pattern
recognition receptor. Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), patients may present
changes in intestinal TLRs gene expression, decreased inflammation, and rapid improvement
in glycemic control.
Objective: Examine selected TLRs in intestinal tissue within 3 months after RYGB.
Methods: Intestinal biopsies (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) were obtained from 20 obese
women with T2DM (age, 46.9 ± 6.2 years, body mass index [BMI], 46.5 ± 5.3 kg/m2) before
and 3 months after RYGB (BMI, 38.2 ± 4.2 kg/m2), and submitted to transcriptomic analysis
by microarray technique and RT-qPCR. Markers of glycemic homeostasis were measured
in the blood. After 1 year of RYGB, patients were classified as responsive (R) and
nonresponsive (NR) to total remission of type T2DM.
Results: Three months after RYGB, TLR-encoding gene expression had significantly reduced
TLR4 and TLR7 in the jejunum of patients responsive to remission of T2DM (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: RYGB and weight loss induce change in intestinal expression of TLRs mainly
in the jejunum of R group. Modulation of TLRs in the gastrointestinal tract could
mediate mechanisms of attachment to remission of T2DM after RYGB.

Introduction: Diabetic foot is considered a complication of diabetes mellitus and
it is the major cause of lower limb amputations. Avoiding its appearance, there is
a need for guidelines on preventive measures and self-care.
Objective: Performing the matriciament of patients ‘wounds with diabetic foot, propose
therapeutic actions to treat the lesions and emphasize the importance of self-care
and prevention of complications related to diabetic foot.
Methods: Data were collected from February 2016 to July 2017, through an evaluation
form of wounds. This is a descriptive and quantitative study with a sample of 24 patients
who were followed up in nursing consultations.
Results: Data revealed a prevalence of males, aged average 59, predominance of type
2 diabetes, with neuropathic etiology and mean disease duration of 16 years. It was
verified that 30% of patients presented amputation, five had osteomyelitis and three
had progressed to amputation. Regard to the use of shoes, it was observed the use
of inappropriate footwear in all patients‘therapeutic for 71% of the cases. Among
24 patients, 79% participated in multidisciplinary guidance on foot care. 17% of patients
are under treatment, 46% wound healing, 21% were against referral to the primary service
and 17% were referred to tertiary service, due to the complexity of the lesion.
Conclusion: This study revealed the need for educational, mainly in relation to preventive
measures and, therefore, required education and self-care in order to prevent complications.
Nurses play a key role in the evaluation and prescription of dressing, guidance and
injury prevention. A multi professional action may potentiate as guidelines and increase
adherence to treatment.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a chronic and subclinical
inflammatory state. Microparticles (MPs) are extracelular microvesicles released during
apoptose and cellular activation. MPs express pro-coagulant and -inflammatory activities,
contributing to endothelial dysfunction observed in T2DM.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the circulating MPs profile in T2DM patients
and to correlate it with fasting glucose levels in this group.
Methods: Sixty-nine subjects were selected, of whom 39 patients with clinical and
laboratorial diagnosis of T2DM and diabetic kidney disease, and 30 gender and body
mass index -matched non-diabetic control. Circulating MPs from platelets (PMPs; CD41 +),
leukocytes (LMPs; CD45 +), endothelial cells (EMPs; CD51/61 +), and that express tissue
factor (TFMPs; CD142 +) were measured by flow cytometry. Fasting glucose levels were
measured in serum samples, after 8 h of fasting, using a commercial kit by enzyme-colorimetric
method. Statistical analysis were performed with SPSS (version 17.0) using Mann–Whitney
and Spearman’s correlation tests. The data were presented as “median (interquartile
range)”. A pvalue < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. This study was
approved by Federal University of Minas Gerais Ethical Committee and an informed consent
was obtained from the individuals.
Results: We observed higher total levels of circulating MPs in T2DM [153.40 (142.15)
MPs/μL] than in control group [85.33 (76.08) MPs/μL; p < 0.0001]. Moreover, higher
levels of circulating PMPs [T2DM 167.53 (206.73) MPs/μL; control 113.83 (97.05) MPs/μL],
LMPs [T2DM 119.13 (86.27) MPs/μL; control 53.80 (44.42) MPs/μL], EMPs [T2DM 157.53
(131.53) MPs/μL; control 86.50 (71.65) MPs/μL], and TFMPs [T2DM 169.93 (213.47) MPs/μL;
control 99.60 (87.53) MPs/μL] were observed in T2DM patients when compared with control
subjects (p < 0.0001 for all). Considering all the subjects, fasting glucose levels
showed a significant positive correlation with PMPs (r = 0.286, p = 0.017), LMPs (r = 0.549,
p < 0.0001), EMPs (r = 0.462, p < 0.0001), and TFMPs (r = 0.343, p = 0.004) levels.
Conclusion: These results suggested that higher circulating MPs levels are associated
with T2DM and they correlate with glycemic levels. Therefore, MPs are promising biomarkers
for assessment of inflammatory and pro-coagulant status in T2DM patients with diabetic
kidney disease.

Introdution: Liver transplantation is becoming one of the most important therapeutic
options in the liver failuretreatment. One of the complications of the transplantation
is the developing of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), due to the presence
of multiple risk factors such as the use of immunosuppressive agents that increase
the risk of developing PTDM by 74%. PTDM is associated with adverse outcomes such
as an increasing mortality, a reduction of graft survival, a risk of sepsis and microvascular
complications when compared to patients without PTDM.
Objective: To evaluate the clinicalepidemiological profile of patients with PTDM and
to identify the potential risk factors for PTDM present in this population.
Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study that occurred in a
Hospital in the State of Ceará, Brazil, a national reference in liver transplantation,
with patients who were followed up in an specialized center in PTDM between 2009 and
2015. The data were collected from medical charts. Demographic and clinical features
were collected, including an evaluation of comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1c) and immunosuppressive therapy.
Results: From 2009 to 2015, 868 patients underwent liver transplantation, 5.3% (46/868)
had diabetes before the transplant. Of those 822 who were not diabetic before surgery,
8.2% (67/822) were diagnosed with PTDM. The average age at diagnosis was 58.63 ± 10.5 years
old and 77.8% (n = 52) were men. Arterial hypertension was present in 41.8% (28/67),
dyslipidemia in 6% (4/67) and overweight/obesity in 65.7% (n = 44/67). The glycated
hemoglobin at diagnosis was 7.06 ± 2.3%. Family history of diabetes was positive in
29.8% (20/67). The immunosuppressive treatment were done with 2 to 3 drugs, mainly
tacrolimus, prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil.
Discussion: The subjects who developed with PTDM presented risk factors such as mean
age greater than 40 years, metabolic syndrome, overweight/obesity, and family history
of diabetes. This could suggest that patients who will undergo liver transplantation
and present these features should be followed more closely after surgery and should
be encouraged to reduce modifiable risk factors prior to surgery, because of the increased
risk of developing diabetes. This may be a strategy to prevent PTDM in this population
and the adverse outcomes associated with this condition.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is one of the main public health problems
today, with alarming rates of morbidity and mortality. The production of information
on the prevalence and sociodemographic variables associated with complications increases
the knowledge about the health of people with DM2 and favors the formulation of feasible
policies and strategies for the prevention and treatment of this condition.
Objectives: To evaluate the interrelationships between chronic complications and clinical
and sociodemographic variables of patients with DM2.
Materials/Methods: A cross-sectional study between October and December/2016, based
on the medical records of 278 DM2 patients followed up at the Endocrinology Outpatient
Clinic. Forty-two patients were excluded from the analysis by incomplete data, totaling
236 patients. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, weight, height,
body mass index (BMI), presence or absence of systemic arterial hypertension (HAS),
and the presence of chronic microvascular and macrovascular complications. The data
were organized in Excel 2010® worksheet and a descriptive analysis was performed.
Results: Among Multiple linear regression analysis identified that DM2 correlated
positively with age (96% with age > 40 years had DM2, r = 0.61, p < 0.01), sex (prevalence
64% (p < 0.01), BMI (100% of DM2 had BMI > 30 kg/m2) and presence of hypertension
(84.87%). With regard to complications, 52.56% had some micro or macrovascular complications.
There was a reciprocal relationship between hypertension and BMI (76.69% of hypertensive
patients had BMI > 25 kg/m2, while 77.77% of hypertensive obese patients had hypertension).
Conclusion: Our results reinforce the main clinical and sociodemographic variables
associated with the phenotype of the metabolic syndrome, which corroborate the development
of DM2.

Background: Autonomic neuropathy (AN) is a serious diabetes complication, which affects
the autonomic nervous system. This system has the function of controlling the autonomous
body’s organs, it is sensitive to changes caused by the lack of control of type 1
diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and can cause cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN).
One way to detect AN is by examining the heart rate variability (HRV) that corresponds
to fluctuations in the intervals between consecutive heartbeats, using signal processing
techniques.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical utility of the method referred to diagnose CAN
still in subclinical stage; evaluate its predictive validity as an indicator of prognosis;
to determine which set of parameters and clinical characteristics best discriminates
between stages of CAN; to evaluate influence on clinical status of individuals who
participated in a structured education program (SEP).
Methods: In this cohort study, a spectral analysis of HRV was performed through a
system that captures ECG signals, and this methodology was refined by comparison with
conventional tests O’Brien and BRS for the detection of CAN in individuals with T1DM
with different degrees (No CAN, Subclinical CAN and Established CAN). Analysis of
clinical and physical examination of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and follow-up of individuals
who participated in the SEP.
Results: The analysis of these results showed the efficacy of the methodology applied
for the early detection of CAN, as well as to discriminate characteristics between
the different stages, and determined parameters calculated to identify these groups
of individuals. The sample size was 66; the mean age was 31.35 ± 9.97 years; The mean
time of DM1 diagnosis was 16.03 ± 9.22 years; The mean HbA1c was 8.65% ± 1.94 or 71.05 mmol/mol ± 21.22;
Of the total number of individuals, 25 (37.88%) had previously participated in SEP
and 18 (27.27%) had a diagnosis of retinopathy. In the O‘Brien test, 16 (24.24%) individuals
presented a diagnosis of subclinical CAN and 11 (16.67%) of established CAN, whereas
by the HRV test, 35 (53.85%) were diagnosed with subclinical CAN and 12 (18.46%) with
established CAN. The HRV parameters HF, LF, SD2, SDNN, RMSSD and TP showed a difference
between groups and CSI values for subclinical CAN were higher than for individuals
No CAN (p < 0.05). SEP participants maintained ideal HbA1c values.
Conclusion: It was possible to affirm that the model adopted by the study diagnoses
in a simple and efficient way, through some specific parameters, the subclinical CAN
in individuals with T1DM with its predictive value and high indices of specificity
and sensitivity. In addition, it was understood that SEP has influence on the process
of avoiding and/or retarding CAN. It is expected that the study may contribute to
scientific, technological and innovation development with emphasis on diabetes, treatment
and complications (Fig. 1).

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a serious public health problem worldwide. Because
it is a chronic condition of high prevalence, regular follow-up is important to prevent
complications due to the disease.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical evolution of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(T1DM) attended in a secondary care reference center of Minas Gerais.
Methods: This is a longitudinal study with 174 people with T1DM followed up by a multidisciplinary
team, all of them referred from primary care from 2010 to 2015. Clinical evolution
was based on annual mean levels of glycated hemoglobin (A1c) and LDL cholesterol.
Paired T-test and McNemar test were used for the annual comparisons of A1c and LDL-c.
In every test a significance level of less than 5% was considered.
Results: The sample was constituted by a majority of men (55.1%), single (60.9%),
self-referred as brown (47.1%), formal workers (47.1%), with full high school or college
education (47.2%), income between 1 and 2 minimum wages (69.6%), average age of 34 ± 14 years
old, having diabetes for 15.35 ± 10.3 years and 49.5% of people living in Belo Horizonte.
All patients were undergoing intensive treatment of diabetes, with 10 patients (5.7%)
in a continuous system of insulin infusion. Of those in multiple daily applications,
the majority were in NPH use (61.5%), followed by glargine (32.8%), with 83.3% in
ultrafast insulin use. Less than half of the study group, 87 subjects (47.1%), used
statins. The study showed that 63.21% of patients (n = 110) started the accomplishment
at the health service with A1c values above 8%, of which 47 (27.01%) were above 10%.
At the end of the first year of follow-up, that percentage was reduced to 49.99%,
with the higher reduction in the ones with A1c levels over 9% (Table 1). In this period,
there was a significant reduction in the A1c means (9.01 ± 2.46 in 2010 and 8.2 ± 1.74
in 2011; p < 0.001), remaining unchanged in the following years, but with a concentration
of patients in the category of 7–8%, below the national average. Regarding LDL-c,
it was observed a significant reduction throughout the follow-up period (p < 0.005)
(Table 2).
Conclusion: The multidisciplinary assistance to patients with TIDM in a secondary
care service has contributed to the improvement of metabolic parameters since the
first year of follow-up (Fig. 1).

Despite the availability of several antidiabetes agents, treatment intensification
(TI) may not be promptly implemented in cases of suboptimal glycemic control. This
study compared clinical outcomes for patients (pts) with T2D uncontrolled after ≥ 6 months
of treatment with basal insulin (BI) who underwent TI or no TI (NTI). TI included
adding a GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA), bolus insulin or SGLT2 inhibitor, switching
to premixed insulin or increasing BI dose. Data on eligible pts undergoing TI within
6 months of the first A1c ≥ 7.0% measure (index date) were collected from the Optum
administrative claims database between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2015. A1c change
from the index date and hypoglycemia incidence were determined 12 months after TI
(randomly selected date for the NTI cohort). Bivariate comparisons were made between
the two cohorts. A total of 10.425/16,140 (65%) adults uncontrolled with BI underwent
TI. Pts in the TI cohort were slightly younger than in the NTI cohort (61 vs. 62 years)
and had higher index A1c (8.94% vs. 8.60%; P < 0.001). A greater A1c reduction (− 0.30%
vs. − 0.04%; P < 0.001) and higher hypoglycemia rate (6.94% vs. 5.76%; P = 0.004)
were seen for TI pts at follow-up. Pts adding a GLP-1 RA and bolus insulin showed
greater A1c changes vs. those increasing BI dose (GLP-1 RA, − 0.62%; bolus insulin,
− 0.61%; BI, − 0.23%; P ≤ 0.002 for both agents vs. BI), and severe hypoglycemia was
less frequent with GLP-1 RA-containing vs. insulin-only regimens (GLP-1 RA, 0.43%;
bolus insulin, 3.13%; BI, 2.52%; P < 0.05 for GLP-1 RA vs. insulin). Clinical inertia
is still widespread in clinical practice. Timely TI improves A1c levels but is associated
with more frequent hypoglycemia, primarily driven by basal-bolus insulin and BI titration.
Injectable agents are more effective than BI dose increases for pts uncontrolled after ≥ 6 months
on BI; GLP-1 RAs show the lowest hypoglycemia rate. Our data highlight a need for
new and improved agents that effectively manage glycemia while reducing hypoglycemia
risk. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented at ADA2017. Funding and editorial

Background: Only 24% of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) present good glycemic
control. This is partly due to clinical inertia (failure to adjust therapy when needed),
especially related to insulin initiation.
Objective: To assess if playing a digital serious game for medical education on insulin
therapy (InsuOnline) is associated with changes in the practice of primary care physicians
(PCPs) related to insulin initiation.
Methods: A noncontrolled experimental study was performed with PCPs working in primary
healthcare units (UBSs) in Londrina and Cambé (Paraná). All of them played InsuOnline.
We identified the patients for whom those PCPs initiated insulin in their UBSs in
2 time points: up to 6 months before, and up to 6 months after playing the game. Then
we collected from their charts: demographic data, time between the first indication
for insulin and the first prescription of insulin, and glycemic control indicators.
Data were stored and analyzed in Epi-Info 7. Research protocol was previously approved
by an institutional review board and local health authorities.
Results: 23 PCPs were included (4 from Cambé and 19 from Londrina). They initiated
insulin in 56 patients in the period (22 before, and 34 after the game; P = 0.09).
Patients were most female (32/56), with mean age 59 ± 12. Mean duration of DM when
insulin was initiated was 5.4 ± 5.3 years. Time between the first indication for insulin
and the first prescription of insulin by the PCP was 70 days (median; IQ 0–393). When
insulin was initiated, mean A1c was 10.2 ± 1.8% and mean plasma glucose was 268 ± 89 mg/dL.
After insulin initiation, A1c and glucose decreased to 9 ± 1.5% and 193 ± 72 mg/dL,
respectively; 59% of patients presented improved glycemic control after insulin initiation.
No difference was found when the time points (before and after the game) were compared.
The small sample and the lack of data in charts were limitations to this study. It
is possible that additional interventions are required to improve the actual care
of DM patients in primary health care.
Conclusion: There was a nonsignificant trend to more frequent insulin initiation by
PCPs after playing the game InsuOnline.

Efficacy and safety of IDeg and Gla-300 were compared with Gla-100 in the BEGIN and
EDITION programs, respectively. HbA1c, FPG and hypoglycemia incidence with IDeg or
Gla-300 vs Gla-100 were explored in 2 trial-level meta-analyses of clinical trials
in T2DM (Fig). FPG reduction was significantly more pronounced with IDeg vs Gla-100
but HbA1c reduction was significantly greater for Gla-100. HbA1c reduction was comparable
with Gla-300 and Gla-100 whereas FPG reduction was significantly greater with Gla-100
in the fixed but not random effect model. Risk of ≥ 1 confirmed (< 56 mg/dL) or severe
hypoglycemic event was lower with IDeg vs Gla-100 at night (00:01-05:59 h) but comparable
at any time (24 h). Risk of ≥ 1 confirmed (< 54 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycemic event
was lower with Gla-300 vs Gla-100 at night (00:00–05:59 h) and also at any time (24 h).
Risk of ≥ 1 severe hypoglycemic event was comparable with IDeg or Gla-300 vs Gla-100.
Summary, in trial-level meta-analyses in T2DM, Gla-100 reduced HbA1c more than IDeg
despite IDeg having a greater FPG-lowering effect. Hypoglycemia risk was lower with
IDeg vs Gla-100 for nocturnal but not anytime events. Gla-300 provided comparable
glycemic control to Gla-100 with lower risk of anytime and nocturnal hypoglycemia.
Head-to-head trials of IDeg vs Gla-300 are needed. Study codes: NCT01499082, NCT01499095,
NCT01676220. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented at ADA2016. Funding and

Background and aims: Over the years, survival after liver transplantation (LT) has
increased and metabolic complications are becoming more common, contributing to patients’
morbidity and mortality. The objectives of this study were to describe a population
of patients with hepatic transplantation and diabetes mellitus (DM), evaluate the
frequency of metabolic complications and assess the impact of a multidisciplinary
team on DM management.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study involving interview and medical
record analysis of 46 consecutive patients followed at the Diabetes Mellitus and Liver
Transplantation Unit of a tertiary university hospital, all evaluated by a multidisciplinary
team. In twenty-nine of these patients anthropometric measures of nutritional status
were evaluated including body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold (TSF), arm circumference
(AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC) and fat area (FA).
Results: Off all patients, 76.1% were men, with median age of 60 years old (IQR 56–65 years)
and LT time of 5 years (0.6–9 years). The most frequent etiology of cirrhosis leading
to LT was hepatitis C virus (69.6%), followed by alcohol abuse (19.6%). Hypertension,
hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, alcoholism and smoking were present in
47.8, 34.8, 23.9, 34.8 and 30.4% of the patients, respectively. Regarding the evaluation
of nutritional status, 11 patients (37.9%) were classified as overweight according
to BMI (median 26.27 kg/m2) and 12 (41.2%) according to the TSF. Nineteen (66.5%),
21 (72.4%) and 13 (44.8%) patients were classified as eutrophic according to AC, AMC,
and FA, respectively. The diagnosis of DM was made after LT in 65.2% of cases, with
a median time of 1.5 years (0.5-5.5). The most frequent immunosuppressant in use were
tacrolimus (71.1%) and mycophenolate (48.9%). The median HbA1c and weight before and
after intervention of the multidisciplinary team were, respectively, 7.6% (5.7%–8.8%;)
vs. 6.5% (5.7%–7.7%); p = 0.022 and 70.5 kg (64.7–82.0 kg) vs 71.6 kg (65.0–85.0 kg);
p = 0.18.
Conclusions: There was a high frequency hepatitis C virus and users of tacrolimus
in patients with DM. Hypertension and dyslipidemia are common in transplanted patients
with DM. Intervention of the multidisciplinary team resulted in a significant improvement
in HbA1c without significant weight gain. This study showed that a multidisciplinary
team approach in the management of DM in LT patients is helpful.

Introduction: Obesity has become a concern worldwide, even in patients with type 1
diabetes. It has been associated with musculoskeletal disorders, cancer and metabolic
syndrome (MS), which is known to enhance cardiovascular risk.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of MS in a type 1 diabetic population and
to determine which parameters are associated with this diagnosis.
Methods: We evaluated 1,760 patients from all geographical regions of Brazil, in this
cross-sectional multicenter study. Patients were classified according to the International
Diabetes Federation criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS).
Results: From a total of 1678 (95.3%) patients with complete data, 28.4% (n = 477)
were classified as having MS. Mean age (35.3 ± 11.9 vs. 28.0 ± 11.4) and diabetes
duration (18.7 ± 9.8 vs. 14.1 ± 8.8) were higher and use of metformin (25.4 vs. 7.1%),
statin (34.4 vs. 16.7%), fibrate (1.7 vs. 0.4%) and renin-angiotensin system inhibitor
(44.4 vs. 20.6%) was more frequent in patients with MS in comparison to those without
MS (p < 0.05 for all the analysis). There was no difference between the two groups
regarding HbA1c levels (8.9 ± 1.9 vs. 9.0 ± 2.2). Female gender was also more prevalent
in the group with MS (68.6 vs 50.0%), as well as family history for type 2 diabetes
(33.8 vs 21.9%) and obesity (29.6 vs. 21.2%), p < 0.001 for all the analysis. Patients
with MS also showed significantly higher levels of ALT, AST, C-reactive protein and
uric acid.
Conclusions: MS affects approximately one-third of patients with type 1 diabetes.
Female patients, with higher disease duration, higher age, positive family history
of type 2 diabetes and/or obesity should bring attention to the risk of MS. Patients
with MS exhibit higher levels of ALT, AST, C-reactive protein and uric acid, which
might be related to an increase cardiovascular risk and also to an increase risk of
non-alcoholic liver disease. Further studies are necessary to determine which complications
are more frequent in type 1 diabetic patients with MS and how these patients should
be managed.

Background: Through psychosocial theories such as the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB),
it becomes possible to apply theoretical models with a view to improving the adherence
of patients with T2DM to oral antidiabetics and, consequently, to improve glycemic
control.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combination of the intervention
strategies “Action Planning” and “Coping Planning” on the medication adherence of
oral antidiabetics among patients with T2DM.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial involving outpatients with T2DM attended in a
primary service care in Brazil was conducted. At the baseline, participants were randomized
into two groups (intervention—IG and control—CG) and were followed for a 15-week period.
The IG received a combination of strategies to promote adherence to oral antidiabetics
based on face-to-face meetings and telephone calls. The CG received usual care from
the health service. Drug adherence behavior, Global Adherence assessment and Glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1c) were evaluated as primary outcomes. Generalized estimating equations
models were applied to compare groups throughout the follow-up.
Results: Of the 90 participants, 88 completed the follow-up (IG = 44, CG = 44). The
regression analysis showed better scores for the adherence behavior (p = 0.028), global
adherence (p < 0.0001) and percentage of adherence (p < 0.0001) for IG when compared
to CG. At follow-up, it was evidenced that the chance of IG being more adherent corresponds
to 18.31 times the CG chance (CI 95%: 4.58–73.10, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of the present study allow us to conclude that the combination
of behavioral strategies was effective in improving drug adherence behavior, promoting
compliance to oral antidiabetic drugs and reducing HbA1c levels. Keywords: Diabetes

Introduction/objective: The objective was to demonstrate dulaglutide (DU) noninferiority
for HbA1c change after 26 weeks.
Methods: This phase 3 study compared once weekly DU to titrated daily insulin glargine,
both combined with insulin lispro, in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic
kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–4. Participants were randomized (1:1:1) to DU 1.5 mg
or DU 0.75 mg or titrated insulin glargine.
Results: Baseline characteristics (N = 576) included: [mean ± SD] age 64.6 ± 8.6 years,
HbA1c 8.6 ± 1.0%, eGFR 38.3 ± 12.8 mL/min/1.73m2, BMI 32.5 ± 5.2 kg/m2, daily insulin
dose 58.2 ± 31.8 U. DU was non-inferior to insulin glargine for HbA1c change (table).
Body weight decreased with DU, whereas it increased with insulin glargine. The hypoglycemia
rate (≤ 70 mg/dL) was lower for DU 1.5 mg and 0.75 mg vs insulin glargine (5.5, 7.8
and 17.1 events/participant/year; p < 0.001). Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea were more
common with DU 1.5 mg (19.8, 12.0, 15.6%) and DU 0.75 mg (11.1, 5.8, 13.7%) vs insulin
glargine (2.6, 3.1, 3.1%).
Conclusions: DU produced comparable glycemic control, greater weight loss, and lower
hypoglycemia rate vs insulin glargine in people with T2D and CKD stage 3–4 (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Physical exercise has been advocated as a beneficial activity in the
treatment of diabetes mellitus, improving glycemic control, contributing to weight
loss and improving quality of life.
Objective: To compare different physical exercise intensities on capillary glycemia
of type 2 diabetics.
Method: The study included 19 type 2 diabetics, of both sexes, with a mean age of
65 years. They were divided into two training groups according to intensity, moderate
intensity training (n = 10) and high intensity training (n = 09). They performed the
training three times a week in the morning, totaling 18 training sessions. The capillary
glycemia was collected from diabetics before and after each training session, using
glucoside. The training protocol was composed of aerobic and resistance training.
For statistical analysis, the Wilcoxon test and the Kruscal-Wallis non-parametric
test were used, adopting a significance level of p < 0.05.
Results: The frequency of diabetics in training was 65%. A significant decrease in
glycemia in moderate intensity training (182.8 mg/dL ± 41.5 mg/dL vs. 139.2 mg/dL ± 47.2 mg/dL
p = 0.00) was observed and in training (169.7 mg/dL ± 43.8 mg/dL vs. 129.2 mg/dL ± 38.9 mg/dL
p = 0.00).
Conclusion: The training of different intensities, moderate and high intensity, were
effective in reducing capillary glycemia of type 2 diabetics, but in the intergroup
evaluation there was no significant difference. Keywords

Introduction: Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) is essential for proper treatment
of Type 1 Diabetes(DM1). It requires knowledge and skills to understand the tests
results and make proper adjustments of the therapy. Therefore, educating the patient
with diabetes to use the method has been a constant concern since the regulation of
Federal Law No. 11.347, which conditioned patient education to the distribution of
glucometers and supplies for the treatment of DM1. In 2007 we evaluated the ability
of our patients to use SMBG and adjust the treatment, in order to direct educational
actions. After 10 years of the program on a public health care setting, we evaluated
another group of patients in our service.
Objectives: To compare the abilities of DM1 patient to use SMBG data to adjust their
treatment at the beginning of the program and after 10 years of its implementation.
Methods: A comparative study between the data from the evaluation done in 2007 and
2017 at the same outpatient referral center about the knowledge of DM1 patients on
SMBG. For statistical analysis EpiInfo version 3.5.2 was used.
Results: In 2006, we evaluated 108 DM1 patients, with a mean age of 16.6 years, 59%
female, mean disease time of 6.6 years. In 2017: 95 DM1 patients, mean age: 17.03 years,
60.22% female, 40.22% with diabetes > 1 year and ≤ 5 years. In 2007 we observed that
41% monitored blood glucose 1x/day and only 11% ≥ 4×/day. Currently, 48.81% monitor ≥ 4×/day
and only 2.38% 1×/day. Regarding the understanding of the test results, in 2007, 88.9%
believed they knew the glycemic target, and of these 82.4% correctly answered the
fasting value and 57.4% postprandial. In 2017, 91.4% answered to be aware of the glycemic
target, of these, 80.0% correctly answered the fasting target and 47.37% the postprandial
target. The test result was used to adjust treatment by 54.6% of the patients who
monitored blood glucose levels in 2007, and currently only 65.22% of the users self-adjust
the dose based on tests result.
Conclusion: We observed that in our current scenario, where the availability of supplies
for SMBG is improving, our patients are monitoring more frequently throughout the
day, and although we see improvement in patient skills on interpreting the test results,
we still need to focus on the development of an educational program that promotes
patient’s empowerment to obtain the full benefit of the procedure.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) consists of progressive and irreversible
renal damage. According to the Brazilian Society of Nephrology, Diabetes Mellitus
(MD) is the leading cause of kidney failure in the world. The best way to measure
renal function is glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Currently, to calculate this,
we use 24-h urine creatinine clearance (ClCr), and some formulas that estimate it:
Cockcroft-Gault (CG), MDRD and CKDEPI.
Objectives: The main objective is to perform a comparative analysis between the formulas
and the creatinine clearance in the diabetic population, in order to determine between
the different groups the closest approach to creatinine clearance in the 24-h urine.
Methods: It represents a cross-sectional observational study using a population sample
of 149 type 2 diabetic patients treated at the nephrology outpatient clinic during
2014 and 2015. Patients were stratified by sex, age, and insulin use. The data were
analyzed statistically with the aid of the SPSS and Bioestat program. The parameters
of the descriptive statistics were used, with the use of measures of central tendency
and dispersion, besides the calculation of the relative frequency and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov
test.
Results: Patients were stratified by demographic variables of race (black or non-black),
sex and age, showing a white (95%), female (69%) and over 50 years (96.6%) prevalence.
When the formulas of estimates of renal function compared to each other, we noticed
that the CKD-EPI formula behaves statistically different from the others (p < 0.05),
suggesting that it would be underestimating the value of the GFR. When considering
classification by CKD stages, any of the methodologies can be used, although CKD-EPI
has a particular pattern in relation to others, all of them have a significant correlation
with CKr. No significant differences were found between the formulas and CrCl when
compared to age, sex and insulin use or not.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the use of equations developed for the calculation
of GFR in diabetic patients is a precise way of evaluation of renal function. It should
be routinely used for early diagnosis and control of its progression and delay of
renal replacement therapy (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes is often considered a “cardiovascular risk equivalent” despite
representing a heterogeneous group of patients with different risks. In order to estimate
cardiovascular risk (CVR), numerous formulas were developed differing to the population
of origin, age group and the analyzed outcomes.
Objective: Compare the results of Framingham risk calculator (D‘Agostino, Circulation
2008) and ACC/AHA risk calculator(Circulation 2013) in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methodology: Cross-sectional study with data collection from electronic medical records:
age, total cholesterol, HDL-c, systolic BP, treatment for hypertension, DM, smoking
and history of coronary, cerebrovascular or peripheral arterial disease. Patients
aged 40 to 74 attended in July 2017 were included. Those with coronary, cerebrovascular
or peripheral vascular disease were excluded. Values above 20% in FRS and 7.5% in
ACC/AHA were considered high risk. The percentage of agreement between the two calculators
was evaluated.
Results: 82 patients, mean age 60.29 ± 7.6 years, mean DM duration of 14.9 ± 9.4 years,
64.6% female, 11% with smoking history and 92.7% with hypertension were evaluated.
There were 52 (63.41%) patients classified as high risk by FRS and 67 (81.7%) by ACC/AHA.
All those classified as high risk by FRS had the same classification by ACC/AHA. However,
14 out of 25 patients (56%) at moderate risk for FRS were classified as high risk
by ACC/AHA, and 1 in 5 patients (20%) with low risk from FRS were at high risk by
ACC/AHA.
Conclusion: Although the FRS, described by D‘Agostino 2008, assesses risk of more
cardiovascular outcomes than the ACC/AHA 2013 calculator, the latter calculates more
patients as being at high risk. There is disagreement mainly in the moderate risk
groups of FRS, which may benefit from more intensive preventive measures or other
risk assessment exams.

Introduction: In the DCCT/EDIC study cohort, the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument
(MNSI) was validated for screening of signs and symptoms of peripheral polyneuropathy
(PNP) in diabetics’ patients, presenting a sensitivity and specificity of 61% and
79%, respectively, for a cutoff point of ≥ 2.5. Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS)
has also been used in epidemiological studies to screening PNP in diabetic patients.
Objective: To evaluate PNP prevalence through MNSI and NDS instruments in grade II
and III obese and diabetic patients, and to assess the sensitivity and specificity
of NDS (cutoff point of ≥ 3) in relation to the gold standard MNSI.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 291 patients with grade II and III
obesity and 276 diabetic patients, where the prevalence of PNP was assessed by MNSI
and NDS. For sensitivity and specificity evaluation, ROC curves were constructed.
Results: We found PNP prevalence of 5.5 and 16.0% with NDS and 27.5 and 32.6% with
MNSI, in the grade II and III obese and diabetics’ patients, respectively. Among the
grade II and III obese patients with positive NDS, all presented mild neuropathic
signs. The diabetic patients presented mild, moderate and severe symptoms (9.1, 5.1
and 1.8%, respectively). In grade II and III obese and diabetic patients, respectively,
the areas calculated below the ROC curves were 0.841 (95% CI 0.790–0.892) (Fig. 1)
and 0.770 (95% CI: 0.704–0.836) (Fig. 2) and, for the same cutoff point (1.5), a sensitivity
of 51.3 and 60% and a specificity of 11.8 and 11.3% were found.

Introduction: The appearance of complications in diabetic patients have worried some
health professionals. Great part of this complications make the person unable to realize
some common activities affecting the self-care and consequently his life quality.
Objective: Evaluate the competences for the self-care of patients with diabetics and
the factors associated, and realize an educative action based on the shortfall self-care.
Method: Was realized an exploratory study of quantitative nature in 25 patients monitored
in the Integral Attention to Adult Health Program from Family Health Unity, inside
the São Paulo state. To collect the data was used the Identification of the Competence
of the Diabetic for Self-care (ECDAC in Portuguese).
Result: In cognitive competence 51% of the patients presented shortfall of self-care
in relation to knowledge about diabetes, signals and symptoms, and treatment. In physics
and emotional competence, the patients didn’t show any shortfall. From this results
realized an educative action based on the shortfall of self-care in the cognitive
competence. Has some increase in the scores of the subscales cognitive competence
with significant difference (p < 0.001), indicating the decrease of the shortfall
of self-care in this competence.
Conclusion: The knowledge of the competence for the self-care of this population made
possible the educational action that show yourself as effective, offering subsidies
for the patient be the author of your own care. It’s believed that this study sensitized
this population for like healthy habits that will contribute in the reduction of events
considered preventable.

Efficacy and safety of LixiLan, a novel titratable fixed-ratio combination of insulin
glargine (Gla-100) with lixisenatide, was compared with Gla-100 alone and lixisenatide
alone in T2DM inadequately controlled on metformin (MET) ± a second oral glucose-lowering
drug. Participants (n = 1170) were randomized (2:2:1) to once-daily LixiLan, Gla-100
(max 60 U/day), or lixisenatide (20 μg maintenance dose) plus MET for 30 wks. LixiLan
provided statistically superior glycemic control compared with Gla-100 and lixisenatide
alone. In this exploratory analysis, efficacy and safety were evaluated for LixiLan
based on Gla-100 and lixisenatide doses at study end. Reduction in HbA1c and percentages
achieving HbA1c < 7% with LixiLan were consistent across Gla-100 and lixisenatide
dose categories at wk 30. Across all LixiLan doses, the body weight increase seen
with insulin alone was mitigated. With LixiLan, incidence of documented symptomatic
hypoglycemia (BG ≤ 70 mg/dL) was similar across final dose categories of insulin and
lixisenatide (Table). Incidence of nausea/vomiting was low (Table), related to the
slow titration of lixisenatide in the combination. In conclusion, LixiLan efficacy
and safety, with a low frequency of nausea and vomiting, was consistent across all
final dose categories of its Gla-100 and lixisenatide components. Study code: NCT02058147.

Introduction: Pregnancy in women with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is becoming more frequent
and proper planning of pregnancy is especially important in this group to prevent
adverse maternal and fetal outcomes related to hyperglycemia in early pregnancy. The
education of these patients in family planning is critical, but given the complexity
of diabetes treatment, it is often neglected by the health staff. The choice of the
proper contraceptive method (CM) for the patient with diabetes is not always simple,
since some are related to increased risk of vascular complications and worsening metabolic
control.
Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and practices of DM patients of childbearing
age on contraception.
Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with the application of a structured
questionnaire in 66 women with diabetes, of childbearing age attending an outpatient
practice on a referral service in the public health care system in Ceará, Brazil.
For statistical analysis EpiInfo version 3.5.2 was used.
Results: The sample was 66 women, with a mean age of 36.5 years, 48% did not complete
high school and 68% referred a stable marital status. 63% had type 1 DM, average years
of disease of 11.4. 26% were nulliparous, and 29.1% had a history of previous abortion.
71.2% of the patients already used some CM, 39% used oral contraception (OC), 16.6%
condoms and 18% injectable or subdermal implants and 4% IUDs. Behavioral methods were
used by one patient. Among OC patients, 72.3% were unaware about any interference
of the method on glycemic control and as only 51% of them used the OC with medical
prescription, 8.9% were guided by friends or relatives. Among the existing CMs, it
was observed that 97.0% knew the Male Condom, OC: 89.4%, IUD-Cu: 81.8% and 77.3 tubal
sterilization. Behavioral methods such as the rhythmic method were known by 69.7%,
Coitus Interruptus: 39.4% Cervical mucus: 7.6% and Spermicide: 7.6% and Basal Temperature,
6.1%.
Conclusions: Data show that in a high-risk population where family planning is critical,
the issue is poorly discussed during medical care, and half the diabetic women of
that sample were using hormonal contraception without medical advice. This situation
certainly contributes to the high unplanned pregnancy rate in women with Diabetes.
We also observed that behavioral methods are little used by these patients.

Background: Adiponectin is a major adipokine with insulin-sensitizing function, being
an important mediator of insulin resistance (IR).
Objective: The purpose of this study is to study the correlation between IR and adiponectin
concentrations in overweight and obese children and adolescents.
Materials and methods: It is a cross-sectional study involving overweight and obese
children and adolescents. Anthropometric indices and laboratory evaluation were performed,
including insulin, glucose, adiponectin, and IR by HOMA-IR determination. The mean
adiponectin was 3.53 ± 5.86 mcg/mL. The HOMA-IR was elevated in 33.3% of overweight
and 58.8% of obese. Adiponectin levels were higher in 16.7% overweight compared to
5.9% of obese subjects. The correlation between HOMA-IR elevation and adiponectin
levels was statistically significant (P 0.0001).
Conclusion: Levels lower of adiponectin may be a biomarker for the presence of IR
in overweight and obese children and adolescents, and constitute another predictive
factor for the metabolic syndrome.

Background: The leptin have as function main the regulation of energy balance as well
as regulation of glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to study the correlation between leptin concentrations
and insulin resistance (IR) by HOMA-IR in children and adolescents with overweight
and obesity.
Materials and methods: It is a cross-sectional study involving overweight and obese
children and adolescents. Anthropometric indices and laboratory evaluation were performed,
including insulin, glucose, leptin, and IR by HOMA-IR determination.
Results: Forty-one subjects participated of study, 25 men and 16 women, mean age 11.68
(6 to 17) years, 24 with overweight (58.5%) and 17 obese (41.5%), 23 with normal HOMAIR
(56.1%) and 18 with high HOMA-IR (43.9%). The mean leptin was 26.06 ± 11.025 ng/mL
(48.8% normal and 51.2% high). The HOMA-IR was elevated in 33.3% of overweight subjects
and in 58.8% of obese subjects. The leptin was elevated in 58.3% of overweight subjects
and in 41.8% of obese subjects. The correlation between HOMA-IR elevation and leptin
levels was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: High concentrations of leptin and IR are present in children and adolescents
with overweight and obesity. The presence of hyperleptinemia without hyperinsulinemia
suggests a likely inherent genetic basis for increased leptin resistance.

Introduction: Diabetic foot is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that
may manifest as neuropathy, vasculopathy, osteoarticular involvement and infection.
Neuropathy initially affects small nerve fibers, responsible for the thermic and pain
sensitivity; later, the large nerve fibers are affected leading to changes in proprioception,
vibration sensitivity and monofilament test. Nerve damage contributes to the development
of lower limb areas with abnormal pressure favoring callosities, local trauma and
consequently ulcer and amputation.
Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of neuropathic symptoms and clinical manifestations
of peripheral neuropathy in DM patients in primary and secondary care.
Method: Cross-sectional analytic study evaluated 550 individuals with DM type 1 and
2, assisted in the public health service, 212 in primary and 338 in secondary care,
with informed consent. The protocol applied was: Screening and early assessment of
risk factors and prevention of diabetic foot. The study was approved by UNOCHAPECÓ’s
Ethic Board, approval number 162/14.
Results: Samples evaluated showed that diabetes duration average was 11.2 ± 8.4 years;
glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) average was 8.7 ± 2.2%, and 74.6% of individuals had a
value above 7%. It was found that 32% of the patients presented loss of protective
sensitivity (LPS) and 24.9% showed peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The most prevalent
clinical findings were dry skin, cracks or fissures (68.4%), callosities (36.5%) and
nail mycosis (35.3%). Neuropathic symptoms (burning, tingling, fatigue or pain) were
reported by 74.5% of the individuals; this finding correlated with the involvement
of nerve fibers observed by clinical examination (p < 0.001). Patients with LPS had
a longer duration of DM (p < 0.001), but individuals with suggestive manifestations
of only small fibers damage had a shorter time of disease than those who also had
large fibers affected (p < 0.001). Most of the individuals (53.1%) were classified
as risk zero (without LPS ± PAD) although some showed neuropathic symptoms, 17.5%
as risk 1 (LPS ± deformity), 18.5% as risk 2 (PAD ± LPS) and 10.9% as risk 3 (previous
ulcer/amputation).
Conclusion: Data confirms that there was a high prevalence of loss of protective sensibility,
but the presence of neuropathic symptoms was higher than the alteration in the sensitivity
tests, which highlights the importance of verification of these symptoms as an early
sign of diabetic neuropathy.

Introduction: the distal diabetic polyneuropathy (DDP) is one of the main complications
of Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and it contributes to atrophy and muscular weakness,
bone deformations, impairment of foot mechanics, resulting in balance deficits and
increased risk of falls in this population.
Objective: correlate the DDP signs and symptoms scores with strength and balance of
DM2 patients under insulin therapy.
Methods: transversal study, with 6 type 2 diabetic patients (3 women e 3 men; 59 ± 4,7 years;
68,1 ± 4,9 kg; 160.8 ± 5,4 cm; 21,8 ± 9,2 years of DM2 diagnostic) under insulin therapy
and DDP diagnosed by the DDP diagnostic scale (DDPDS). The DDPDS provided the Neuropathy
Symptom Score (NSS) and the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) of each individual.
The balance and risk of falls assessment was performed by Biodex Balance System (BBS)
(Biodex Balance System, New York, USA) before and after the training period, by means
of the modalities: Fall Risk Test (using the general instability index for the assessment
of risk of falls), Limits of Stability Test (using the general limits of stability
index and test duration to assess dynamic stability) and Postural Stability Test (using
the general instability index, the anterior/posterior stability index and medial/lateral
stability index for the assessment of static stability). The strength evaluation was
performed by the 1 repetition maximum tests (1-RM), using the bench press and leg
press machines to assess upper limb and lower limb, respectively. After the Kolmogorov–Smirnov
normality test, the Pearson correlation index was calculated to describe the relation
between the DDP scores and the balance and strength findings.
Results: The NDS showed negative correlations with the lower limbs ( − 840; p = 0.03)
and with the general limits of stability index ( − 933; p < 0.01), while the NSS showed
negative correlation with test duration on the dynamic stability assessment ( − 864;
p = 0.02). The balance, risk of falls and upper limb strength parameters did not show
a significant correlation.
Conclusion: The increase of the signs caused by DDP are related to less lower limb
strength and the increase of both signs and symptoms are related to with dynamic balance
deficits of type 2 diabetic patients under insulin therapy.

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is related to inadequate metabolic and blood
pressure control. Diabetics treated in primary care in Sorocaba and region are referral
to Hospital Oftalmológico de Sorocaba (HOS) already in advanced stage of the DR, which
requires ophthalmologic intervention. To perform these procedures, there is a need
for clinical adjustment that occurs in the primary care, generating delay, low resolution
and social, economic and individual losses.
Objectives: To offer a program of intensive clinical-educational adjustment to patients
with DR attended at HOS; Evaluate changes in the level of understanding and metabolic
control of this population; Evaluate the performance of the proposed procedures compared
to a similar population that did not undergo the intervention; Analyze the costs of
the alternative of clinicaleducational adjustment. Material and
Methods: The program had four weekly individual medical visits with educational support.
The adjustments were based on the clinical evaluation and analysis of glycemic monitoring
with seven measures of 3-day intercalated that preceded care. One group underwent
clinical-educational intervention (n = 24) and for the other (n = 24) only the medical
records were evaluated. The intervention group was evaluated before and after regarding
knowledge about DM, adherence to treatment and attitudes in coping with the disease.
The evolution of the ophthalmologic picture in the two groups was compared with the
performance of the indicated procedures and costs involved in the activities of each
clinical adjustment process: usual and proposed by the study. The activities of each
clinical adjustment process were mapped, their unit costs defined and the alternatives
compared using the cost-effectiveness method.
Results: A significant difference was observed in the intervention group with improved
glycemic control, a higher rate of scheduled procedures (96 vs 48%, p = 0.00), shorter
performance time (1.2 months vs 5 months), and Cost-effectiveness ratio. There was
a significant increase in knowledge about the disease, adherence to treatment and
improvement of the attitude towards the disease.
Discussion: Intensive clinical-educational adjustment program for advanced-stage DR
patients offered in specialized service as an alternative to that currently practiced
in primary care has a better cost-effectiveness, occurs in a shorter time and can
minimize personal, social and institutional losses resulting from evolution of DR.
Funding: There was no funding to the study. Sanofi provided editorial support through
the hiring of a third part—Eurotrials.

Objective: A new generation of basal insulins has been developed in recent years to
reduce hypoglycemic risk and provide steadier glycemic control in T2D. This study
evaluated cost-effectiveness for two of these basal insulins, Gla-300 and IDeg, from
a US payer perspective.
Methods: This modelling analysis simulated a cohort representing patients in the EDITION
2 and 3 trials using the IMS Core Diabetes Model with a time horizon of 50 years (lifetime)
for 1,000,000 patients starting at 62 years old. Treatment efficacy parameters, measured
as A1C reduction and hypoglycemia event (HE) rates, were estimated using a network
meta-analysis: for Gla-300 vs IDeg, the A1C reduction over 24 weeks was 1.00 vs 0.98%;
HE rates were estimated as 2.5 vs 4.0 severe HEs and 446 vs 555 non-severe HEs (NSHEs)
per 100 patient years, respectively. The cost/unit of Gla-300 was set to $0.22 to
maintain dose-adjusted price parity with insulin glargine using data from the EDITION
trials. The cost/unit of IDeg was set to $0.296 from its US Wholesale Acquisition
Cost. The treatment cost was $1,561 per SHE and $13.65 per NSHE (2015 $). Utilities
to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for multiple comorbidities were applied
using the minimum utility approach. A disutility of -0.0118 was applied for SHE, and
method of diminishing marginal disutility for NSHE.
Results: Compared with IDeg, Gla-300 provided a total cost reduction per patient of
$8,998 ($162,288 vs $171,286) and a QALYs gain of 0.035 (7.677 vs 7.642) for lifetime
in base-case analysis. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that 10% change in A1C,
SHE/NSHE rates, and treatment costs did not change the incremental cost-effectiveness
ratio (ICER) dominance for Gla-300. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis found that
Gla-300 was less costly in 95.4% of cases and more effective in 60.1% of cases vs
IDeg.
Conclusion: Gla-300 provides a dominant cost-effectiveness profile over IDeg, though
real-world data needs to confirm this finding. This is an ENCORE abstract previously
presented at ADA2017. Funding and editorial support provided by Sanofi.

Introduction: At present, insulin replacement with the continuous subcutaneous insulin
infusion (CSII) is considered to be the therapeutic option closest to the physiological
one for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) because it allows greater food flexibility
and rapid corrections of hyperglycemia. However, a significant percentage of these
patients remain outside the targets of good metabolic control (glycemia and lipids).
One of the factors may be related to an inadequate distribution among the three main
food groups.
Objective: Evaluate the intake of carbohydrate, proteins and fats in relation to the
standard diet in a group of patients with T1D of different age groups using CSII and
inadequate glycemic control.
Methods: 53 patients with T1D, using CSII, were divided into 3 groups (PPGpre-pubertal: < 9 years),
(PG-pubertal: 10–18 years) and (AG-adult: 19–35 years), BMI (kg/m2), CSII use time
(years), A1c (%), total cholesterol (TC) and fractions, triglycerides (TG), and the
relative percentage of carbohydrates, in relation to the standard diet.
Results: A1c was similar between the 3 groups (PPG: 8.1 ± 0.5%, PG: 9.3 ± 1.3% and
AG-8.2 ± 1.1%). Carbohydrate intake below recommended age showed an inverse relationship
with age (PPG < 63%, PG < 93% and AG < 100% p = 0.00). However, the type of carbohydrate
was inadequate, being above recommended in relation to processed juices at 100% (PPG),
66% (PG) and 25% (AG), fastfood at 21% (PPG), 46% (PG) and AG (66%) and in sweet 81%
(PPG), 73% (PG) and 33% (AG). Protein (milk) intake was adequate in 80% (PPG) PG and
33% in AG, while fat intake was above 40% in the 3 groups studied. Alcohol was present
in ¼ PG and 62% AG, but in an adequate amount. The values of CT and TG were adequate
in the 3 groups.
Conclusion: Patients with T1D using CSII had a carbohydrate intake below the recommended
level and with an inverse relationship to age, but with inadequate content. The amount
of fat was above the expected and protein within the recommended. The study emphasizes
the need for a better orientation of the type of carbohydrate and the amount of fat
for T1D patients using CSII. These aspects should be considered during optimization
of the results obtained with this high cost therapy for T1D patients.

Introduction: During pregnancy, hyperglycemia can lead to maternal and fetal complications,
leading to reproductive changes and fetal impairment. considered to treat diabetes
and prevent its complications, and one of these alternatives is the use of medicinal
plants, such as Curatella americana. However, there is no scientific evidence on the
safety of the plant use during gestation and its effects on fetuses.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of treatment with Curatella americana during pregnancy
on the fetuses of rats with hyperglycemia of mild intensity.
Method: Diabetes was induced in newborn female Wistar rats, at 24 h after birth, by
subcutaneous injection of Streptozotocin at a single dose of 100 mg/kg. At 110 days
of age (adulthood), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to confirm the
mild diabetes model. After confirmation of the diabetes, the rats were mated and distributed
into 4 experimental groups (n = 12 animals/group): Control: Non-diabetic rats treated
with water; Control Treated: Non-diabetic rats treated with the plant; Diabetic: Diabetic
rats treated with water; Diabetic Treated: Diabetic rats treated with the plant. The
administration of the Curatella americana leaves aqueous extract, at dose of 300 mg/kg,
was done daily, by gavage, throughout pregnancy. On the morning of the 21st day of
pregnancy, the rats were anesthetized and the uterus was removed. Fetuses and placentas
were weighed and fetuses were analyzed for the presence of external, skeletal and
visceral anomalies.
Results: There was no difference among the experimental groups in the ossification
sites, placental efficiency and in the frequencies of fetal abnormalities (external,
skeletal and visceral). However, the Control Treated group present lower fetal and
placental weight, with an increase of fetuses classified as small for pregnancy age.
Conclusion: Treatment with Curatella americana caused intrauterine growth restriction
in nondiabetic animals at the dose tested, but this weight loss did not translate
into changes in skeletal development and anomalies. Therefore, more studies are needed
to prove the safety of the use of this plant for the fetus.

Introduction: SGLT2 inhibitors are oral antidiabetic agents capable of altering independent
cardiovascular risk factors, such as: blood glucose, blood pressure, weight, intrarenal
hemodynamic and albuminuria.
Objective: To describe a clinical case in which the use of dapaglifozin (DAPA) was
effective in inducing and maintaining weight loss over 3 years.
Case report: M.G.G.A, female, 65 years old, caucasian, married, sought an endocrinologist
in 2014 due to the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus 3 years ago, she used glimeperide
4 mg/day and metformin (MTF) 1 g/day. She was hypertensive and dyslipidemic, already
under treatment, and reported difficulty in losing and maintaining weight for several
years. She denied physical activity (PA) practice for 1 month (before walking 3x/week)
and in a 24-hour diet reminder there was an excess of simple carbohydrate (SC) intake
and saturated fat (SF). The physical examination showed: arterial pressure (AP):130x80 mmHg,
weight (W):78.6 kg, height:1.54 m, BMI:33.14 kg/m2 and abdominal circumference (AC):108 cm.
The patient was oriented to change her lifestyle and it was also requested exams.
After 1 month: fasting glycemia (FG):169 mg/dl, postprandial glycemia (PPG):145 mg/dl,
Hb1Ac:7.1%, total cholesterol (TC):253 mg/dl, HDL:55 mg/dl, LDL:129 mg/dl, triglycerides
(TG):156 mg/dl, 25-hydroxy vitamin D(25-OHD):23 ng/dl, creatinine:0.6 mg/dl, glomerular
filtration rate (GFR): > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (MDRD), microalbuminuria, and the rest
of the serum tests normal. At this time, due financial limitation, she was directed
to maintain medications, prescribed vitamin D3 14,000 IU/week and stimulated lifestyle
change (LC). She returned after 4 months with unchanged physical examination measures,
HbA1c:7.8%, FG:166 mg/dl, PPG:163 mg/dl, being chosen to exchange oral antidiabetic
regimen for DAPA 10 mg/day and MTF 1 g/day, with maintenance of the other guidelines
for LC. After 9 months: W:69.9 kg, AC:98 cm, BMI:29.47 kg/m2, and she reduced the
consumption of SC and SF, but maintained the sedentary lifestyle. Exams: Hb1Ac:7.0%,
FG:118 mg/dl, PPG:152 mg/dl, TC:242 mg/dl, LDL: 139 mg/dl, TG:127 mg/dl and irregularly

Background: The relationship between hypoglycemia and day-to-day variability of glycemic
control has not been well established.
Aim: A post hoc analysis was performed correlating day-to-day variability of fasting
SMPG with hypoglycemia in two double-blind, treat-to-target, crossover trials that
compared insulin degludec once daily (OD) with insulin glargine U100 OD in adults
with T1D (SWITCH 1, n = 501) or insulin-experienced adults with T2D (SWITCH 2, n = 721)
Methods: Available SMPG measurements were used to determine a weekly variance for
each patient, using the log SMPG values to allow for relative comparisons. For each
patient and treatment, the geometric mean of the weekly variance was calculated and
these values were categorized into low, medium and high tertiles as a measure for
day-to-day variability. The effect of having low or high variability compared with
medium variability was analyzed in relation to overall symptomatic (severe or blood
glucose [< 56 mg/dL] confirmed), nocturnal symptomatic (00:01–05:59), and severe (requiring
third-party assistance and confirmed by a blinded adjudication committee) hypoglycemia.
Results: Day-to-day SMPG variability was a significant predictor for the risk of overall
and nocturnal hypoglycemia in T1D and T2D, and severe hypoglycemia in T1D (Table).
Conclusion: Day-to-day glycemic variability relates to hypoglycemia risk.

Dunnigan type partial lipodystrophy is a rare autosomal dominant disease. In its classic
form, it is resulting from a heterozygous missense mutation in the LMNA gene, which
encodes the nuclear protein called A/C lamina(1). Changes begin at puberty, with enlargement
of the labia majora, chin and face, as well as disappearance of subcutaneous tissue
in upper and lower limbs. Affected women are particularly predisposed to insulin resistance
and its complications, including signs of polycystic ovary syndrome. Case report:
35-year-old female diabetic, hypertensive, diagnosed with Kobbeling Dunningan syndrome
after the first gestation in 2001, began treatment with a plastic surgery team for
changes in the classic fat distribution of her disease, with rhytidectomy and initiated
follow-up in the team of endocrinology for diabetes control in the use of insulin
therapy with poor glycemic control, after the initiation of DDP4 inhibitor initiated
improvement of glycemic levels with maintenance of control.

The evidence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in the person with Diabetes
Mellitus can relate to difficulties in modifying eating habits, suitability for therapeutic
regimens and diabetic’s quality of life. This study aimed to identify levels of anxiety,
depression and stress of participants in a Health Promotion program for people with
Diabetes Mellitus, performed in the city of Macapá, AP, Brazil. This is a descriptive
study with a quantitative approach, carried out in November 2016 with 38 people participating
in the program who accepted to answer the questionings of the Depression, Anxiety
and Stress Scale—Short Form (DASS-21) involving a theoretical model which evidences
the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, not always differentiated by other
scales or instruments. The study, approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (Comitê
de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP) of the Federal University of Amapá (Universidade Federal
do Amapá), opinion number: 861.456/2014. Of the participants, the majority (78.9%)
were females with average age of 63 and males (21.1%) with average age of 47.5 years
(Table 1). In relation to the DASS-21 scale of evidence of identified symptoms, (28.9%)
presented changes in the depression symptoms, (10.5%) presented moderate symptoms,
(7.9%) severe symptoms and (10.5%) very severe symptoms. For anxiety (52.5%) presented
alterations, where (18.4%) presented moderate symptoms, (10.5%) severe symptoms and
(23.6%) very severe symptoms. For stress, (34.0%) presented changes in symptoms, (13.1%)
moderate symptoms, (7.8%) severe symptoms and (13.1%) very severe symptoms (Table 2).
It was also identified in (23.6%) of participants alterations for depression, anxiety
and stress concomitantly symptoms, (7.8%) for anxiety and stress, (5.2%) for stress
and depression and (2.6%) depression and anxiety (Table 3). In addition, it was observed
that (18.4%) of the patients had altered symptoms specifically for anxiety, while
those with modified symptoms of depression or stress always had other aspects simultaneously,
and (42, 1%) did not present alterations in the symptoms evaluated. Anxiety is the
problem to be overcome by the participants, a factor that will be related to a worse
glycemic control, an increase and a greater severity of the clinical complications,
being also necessary to potentiate through non-pharmacological treatments the symptoms
of depression and stress that add up and interfere with social, economic and educational
aspects (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a challenge for Health, with a high potential for
morbidity and mortality. Among its main complications is the diabetic foot, defined
as a series of alterations that occur in the lower limbs, associated to the high amputation
index, which affects the productivity and independence of the person. Proper examination
of the feet is able to diagnose the problem early and prevent injuries and hospitalizations.
However, the evaluation for prevention of diabetic foot is insipient and not fully
incorporated in the health services. However, it is necessary to develop innovative
tools that facilitate foot examination in order to save time and standardize evaluation.
Objective: To develop an application to evaluate the risk of diabetic foot, based
on the Diabetic Foot Manual of the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
Methods: Methodological, descriptive, quantitative and multidisciplinary study that
allowed the development of an application on the Android platform, with based on the
evaluation of the feet of the person with Diabetes Mellitus advocated by the diabetic
foot manual of the Ministry of Health. Java language was used for programming. For
interaction between the researchers was used the Extreme Programming method that consisted
of a cyclical process: select user stories; divide stories into tasks; plan release;
develop/integrate/test; release version and evaluate the application, returning through
the steps until it was suitable for foot evaluation.
Results: “Foot Care” application was developed with 19 main screens that contain icons
for access to photos and help and videos that demonstrate the procedure of sensitivity
and reflex tests. Screens are thus arranged: presentation screen with information
about the application and instructions for use; screen with features of registration,
data export and the list of people evaluated; screens of the assessment itself, which
include the skin and attachment domains, sensitivity assessment, vascular assessment
and evaluation of foot deformities. Finally, the screen that presents the risk classification
of the diabetic foot; the change that suggested such a risk; the recommendations,
the evaluation frequency and the behaviors that should be taken by the health professional.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the application made in this study is an innovative
tool and is an important tool to prevent early diabetic foot.

Introduction: Strongyloides stercoralis is an intestinal nematode that infects approximately
100 million people worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Most S.
stercoralis carriers are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic, which does not mean absence
of pathogenic action. Extra-intestinal manifestations can lead to severe and life-threatening
conditions, especially in immunocompromised patients. The medical literature has case
reports of disseminated strongyloidiasis in diabetic patients, but no studies have
determined the relationship between diabetes and strongyloidiasis.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the parasitological and molecular
profile of strongyloidiasis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and to
analyze their value in the detection of chronic asymptomatic infection in these patients.
Method: The study population were patients seen in the Diabetes Education and Control
Program Jataí—GO and other non—diabetic individuals living in the city. A total of
149 individuals were collected from three fecal samples on alternate days, these were
characterized in two groups: Group I (97) patients with DM2, Group II (52) individuals
not carrying DM2. The fecal samples provided were submitted to parasitological methods
of Hoffman, Rugai and agar plate culture, and subsequently, to molecular analysis
by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and all positive samples were confirmed by DNA
sequencing. Data were analyzed using Chi square and logistic regression tests.
Results: The overall positivity of S. stercoralis by parasitological techniques was
2.6% (4/149), and only one DM2 patient was positive for the infection. With PCR, the
positivity was 16.1% (24/149), being 9.3% (9/97) in the group I, and 28.8% (15/52)
in the group II. DM2 showed to be a protective factor for strongyloidiasis (OR 0.252
IC95% 0.101 a 0.628 p = 0.003). There was no agreement between the parasitological
methods and PCR in the detection of S. stercoralis.
Conclusion: The PCR technique using primer species-specific for S. stercoralis showed
a superior ability to detect infection in asymptomatic diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

Several strategies can be used to obesity treatment by the multidisciplinary team:
diet, physical activity, behavioral therapy, medications and surgery. The dietary
adherence has been associated with weight loss, however determinants to weight loss
in the individual approach of treatment with nutritionist are not clarified yet. To
know these determinants can support the strategies adoption in clinical practice.
In this way, the aim of this retrospective cohort is to evaluate the factor determinants
to weight loss of outpatients with obesity follow by nutritionist. Obese outpatients
who were follow out dietary counselling by registered nutritionist from the Endocrinology
Division of HCPA, Porto Alegre-RS were select consecutively. All procedures involving
patients were approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee (nº15.0138) according to Declaration
of Helsinki. The protocol were five visits: anamnesis (clinical, lifestyle, and anthropometric
evaluation); diet visit with delivered a prudent diet with calorie restriction; and
three bimonthly visits (described as visit one, two and three) to dietary approaches.
The dietary adherence was ranked (0-100%). Patients were grouped into those who achieved
the goal of at least weight 3% loss from initial weight in 6 months (achieved the
goal) and those who cannot achieved the weight loss goal and their characteristics
were compared using appropriate tests. Poisson regression models were performed to
evaluate the possible association between determinants and weight loss. One hundred
and forty-seven patients were included and 47 patients (26%) achieved the weight loss
goal [Δ weight—5.9(−21.5 to −2.3)kg]. A higher proportion of patients which achieved
the goal also attended the visit one (83% vs. 66%, p = 0.040) and visit two (83% vs.
56%, p = 0.001) as compared to patients without weight loss. Dietary adherence was
not different between groups, as well as the other characteristics (social,clinical
and medications use). The attendance in the visit two was associated with more chance
of weight loss when comparing with those who did not go to the visit: OR 4.44 (95%
IC 1.6112.25); p = 0.004) after adjust to physical activity, drugs use and dietary
adherence. In conclusion, the patients who achieved the weight goal were more assiduous
than the other patients. The visit absence maybe a negative determinant to weight
loss. The reasons for that need to be investigated.

Background: The Continuous Insulin Infusion System (CIIS) is increasingly being used
in Brazil, with trained professionals actively involved in the initiation and monitoring
of diabetes treatment. However, there are not any tools that have been adapted to
measure the level of knowledge of diabetes patients using CIIS. The elaboration of
reliable tools that make possible to measure effects of the teaching-andlearning process,
before and after an intervention, can only be useful and able to present scientific
results when those tools have valid psychometric qualities in order to not implicate
the quality of acquired data.
Objective: To elaborate and to adequate culturally a tool to evaluate the knowledge
from users of CIIS.
Methods: Methodological study, comprising two steps: 1) Elaboration of the tool, based
on both national and international diabetes guidelines, followed by evaluation by
a committee of experts, including endocrinologist, nutritionist, nurses and statistician,
to generate the first version (V1); 2) V1 was sent via the e-surv platform to a committee
of judges, comprising endocrinologists with experience in therapy, certified instructors
employed by the companies that sell the CIIS in Brazil, and linguists from different
regions of the country, who evaluated the tool for clarity and relevance. Based on
this evaluation, the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the judges’ percentage score
for the adequacy of the tool’s components were calculated, with changes which generate
a second version (V2). After each of these phases, there was discussion of the Expert
Committee to evaluate suggestions, to identify problems and pertinent changes.
Results: V1 of the tool was highly scored by the judges’ committee with respect to
clarity and relevance, with a CVI of 0.97, from which V2 was generated, comprising
17 questions (Table 1).
Conclusion: The tool CIIS-Brazil is considered culturally adequate to evaluate the
knowledge from its users. This tool proceeds to the validation process (Fig. 1).

Introduction: In the region of Blumenau, the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
is approximately 25,000 people, of which 3,249 are insulinized and are enrolled in
the program of distribution of inputs for the treatment of the disease by SUS. In
2012, the Coordination of the Adult Health Policy and the Management of the Health
Department of the Municipality of Blumenau elaborated the implementation of a Diabetes
Care Center (NAD).
Objective: To describe the actions performed by the NAD team, whose main objective
is to provide specialized interdisciplinary care to people with decompensated DM.
Methodology: This is a descriptive study about the experience of professionals working
at the Diabetes Care Center of the Municipality of Blumenau. The reporting period
is from the year of its implementation to date.
Results: In the implementation of the NAD in 2012, the activities started with a team
with a minimum structure, however, with the increase in the demand of patients, it
was necessary to hire more professionals and the construction of a new headquarters,
with a bigger physical structure. Today 2,688 users are already registered with NAD.
A total of 320 consultations in endocrinology, 80 nutrition consultations, 60 consultations
in psychology and 40 nursing consultations are carried out per month for foot evaluation,
insulinization and acquisition of special footwear for free. To ensure psychological
support, meetings of therapeutic groups are also held. Since its implementation, it
has been established as an Assistence Teaching Unit and serves as a research field
for scholarship recipients and health course volunteers, who work in the FURB PET-HEALTH
GRADUASUS group. Online marriages in endocrinology and training for network professionals
are conducted through an event entitled Debates Mellitus. In November, actions related
to the Municipal Diabetes Prevention Week are carried out, among them: Seminars, background
work, preventive actions in squares with capillary glycemia tests, and, finally, the
“Blue Walk”.
Conclusions: We believe that through a policy of care the person with DM develops
educational, preventive and diagnostic actions, that guarantees the free supply of
medicines and supplies for self-control and that makes the user aware of their co-responsibility
in the treatment through of Supported Self-Care, it is possible to minimize the complications
of DM and improve the quality of life of users.

A 42-year-old male patient with obesity and hypertension was brought to the emergency
department of Hospital Conjunto do Mandaqui in São Paulo with adinamy, weight loss,
polyphagia, polydipsia and polyuria 3 weeks ago. On physical examination, the patient
had sleepinees, dehydration (3 +/4 +), ketone breath, tachycardia 136 BPM, hypotension,
75 × 50 mmHg, oxygen saturation of 99% and respiratory rate of 20/min. The initial
laboratory tests indicated high capillary blood glucose, leukocytosis of 18,400 (neutrophilia
of 90%), haemoglobin level of 15.1 g/dl, hematocrit of 49.9%, urea of 173 creatinine
of 3,36 sodium of 146 potassium of 5,1. The arterial gasometry showed a significant
metabolic acidosis. The urinalysis was marked by glycosuria (2 +) and leukocyturia
(176,000). The diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis was made, and the patient was treated
with venous hydration and continuous intravenous insulin infusion. The patient showed
a satisfactory response to treatment, with good control of the dehydration and blood
pressure. An hyposodic and diabetic diet was introduced, and the patient showed an
increase in appetite. Normal values of the C—4,6 peptide were obtained and indicated
no pancreatic injury. Two consecutive tests were negative for the autoantibodies against
GAD, islet cells, insulin and IA2. The pacient was discharged from the hospital with
full insulin therapy. During the follow-up, the insulin dose was gradually reduced
due to few episodes of hypoglycemia. After 2 months the patient had good glycemic
control, and reported adequate lifestyle and dietary habits. metformin use XR 1500 mg/day
establishing as most likely diagnosis flatbush diabetes. Flatbush diabetes is one
of the several variations of the type 2 DM, and is also refered to as idiopathic type
2 DM and ketosis-prone type 2 DM. Here, a misleading diagnosis of DM 1 is common,
due to the total autoimmune destruction of the T cell-mediated pancreatic beta cells,
without antibodies associated with the type 1 DM. In DM flatbush, diabetic ketoacidosis,
but in this case it is possible the weaning of insulin therapy and the drug adoption
proposed for DM 2, in addition to the non-medicament measures, since it was observed
that preservation and recovery of pancreatic function is possible. The case report
aimed to raise awareness of this rare condition and avoid misdiagnosis and unecessary
treatments.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introdution: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic, complex, not transmissible disease
that requires continuous medical care and strategies to decrease multifactorial risks
besides glycemic control; to improve patients’ treatment and prevent possible complications.
From1980 s diabetes’ treatment has becoming even more complex with incorporation of
new medications and technology within reach of patients being part of their daily
lives. From the beginning of the diagnosis, patients and their relatives must get
knowledge about the disease and develop necessary skills for patients’ self-care.
It is called, education in diabetes. The process that develops these skills incorporates
tools that reach results in each stage of the treatment. Therefore, education in diabetes
is the main tool to guarantee patient’s self-care,leading them to self-control. The
present study aims to describe the importance of promoting education for type 1 and
type 2 diabetic patients for the purpose to promote treatment adherence and encourage
self-monitoring.
Study population: Patients from Diabetes Clinical Program in a Private Outpatient
Institution (POI) in São Paulo (TOTAL CARE) who passed through education in comparison
to diabetic patients who did not pass through diabetes education (N = 1673). The average
age is mainly between 41 and 80 years old, 50% both sexes; in the two groups, 50%
with more than 20 years of diagnosis.
Methods: The Patients from Diabetes Clinical Program—Total Care (N = 2152) were evaluated
regarding adherence to multi-professional intervention (nutrition, eye examination,
foot examination, dentist consultation). Patients who were seen by the diabetes Educator
were compared with those who did not pass through this developing process as a stage
of their treatment.
Results: Among evaluated patients the best adherence was found in the group who passed
through Diabetes Education process (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Until now it is known that diabetes presenting as ketoacidosis (DKA),
in the absence of a detectable precipitating factor, may correspond to a heterogeneous
group of pathologies, especially when it occurs in adults. Among these pathologies
we have ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD), initially described by Banerji et al. 1994 in
African Americans. KPD is a rare form of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) which presents with
DKA and after initial glycemic compensation may evolve into insulin exogenous independence.
In recent years, cases of KPD have been reported in Africa, Japan, Spain, China and
Pakistan, suggesting a global distribution. In Brazil, there is only one case report
in the literature.
Patients: Here we report a prospective study of 4 cases of Brazilian KPD. The diagnosis
of KPD was based on the occurrence of spontaneous DKA after the age of 30 years in
individuals with newly diagnosed DM and not classifiable according to the classic
types. The data during the presentation and follow-up of the KPD are summarized in
the table Discussion The patient diagnosis age during the 4th and 5th decade of life
is compatible with the studies described in the literature. The mean BMI of the group
was 31.23 kg/m2, comparable to previous studies (28.9 kg/m2 reported by Banerji, 37 kg/m2
by Umpierrez, 30.3 kg/m2 by Maldonado). The presence of family history of DM2 was
80% higher than that seen by other groups (Chihaoui (56%), Banerji (67%) and Mauvais
Jarvis (67.6%). Significant recovery of beta cell function and time of insulin dependence
in the group was reported to be close to 1 year, consistent with studies reporting
a period of 1 to 2 years.
Conclusion: This is the first series of cases of KPD described in Brazil being characterized
by DKA at diagnosis, absence of autoimmunity, recovery of beta cell function and evolution
to insulin independence. Further studies are needed to verify the true prevalence
of KPD in our population. The diagnosis of KPD should be considered in patients who,
despite having the first manifestation in DKA and requiring a period of insulin therapy
to resolve the glycotoxicity, may evolve to treatment with oral hypoglycemic agents
(Fig. 1).

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with increasing worldwide
prevalence. Therefore, it is relevant to use digital media resources in diabetes education,
especially to educate people living in the interior regions of the country, in which
patients deal with limitations of access to health services
Objective: In this study, our aim was to report the insertion of digital media in
diabetes education actions developed in a project of University extension.
Materials and methods: The project was developed by the Diabetes Study Group of the
Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM) with the support of
the Campus Radio (99.7 FM). The main educational actions were developed through the
creation of the radio program entitled “Em sintonia com o diabetes” (In tune with
diabetes). Between May 2016 and February 2017, different programs with about 90 s
of duration, were transmitted 6 times a day, 6 programs unpublished every fortnight.
The programs were written and recorded by students (undergraduate and postgraduate)
under the supervision of UFVJM professors. After each fortnight of transmission the
programs were converted into podcasts for posting on Diabetes Diamantina websites
(SoundCloud, Facebook, Blogger and Google +). The Fanpage Diabetes Diamantina (FDD)
was widely used as an online education strategy, in which various educational contents
about DM were published or shared (Figs. 1 and 2).

See text for description
Results: Our search identified a total of 128 unpublished radio programs that were
produced and broadcast, reaching about 100,000 people from Diamantina and 10 other
municipalities in the region. The FDD received more than 1,500 likes/followers and
its publications reached 375,647 views in Brazil and in 44 other countries (Figs. 1
to 4). Diabetes Diamantina on SoundCloud shared 25 podcasts, which were reproduced
online 1,196 times, and received 37 likes. The Diabetes Diamantina Blog hosted 42
posts about DM, with weekly frequency and the total of 49,040 views by people from
Brazil and other 9 countries. In addition, 25 educational games were developed from
the texts used in the radio programs.
Conclusion: The University extension actions of the project have been a high social
relevance, given the scope of the sharing of educational content and the use of digital
media. There was an admirable contribution to the academic formation and greater integration
among those involved in this proposal for online diabetes education. The authors are
grateful to the CNPq, FAPEMIG, Rádio 99.7 FM and UFVJM for the support.

Case presentation: Two brothers with neonatal diagnosis of Berardinelli-Seip Congenital
Lipodystrophy (BSCL), born in Caculé-Bahia, without cases of diabetes or similar diseases
in their family. Clinically, both present muscular hypertrophy and acromegaloid features.
Case 1: MJFA, 17 years old, at 11 with hyperglycemia (fasting 108 mg/dL; HbA1C 6.4%),
moderate hepatic steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia between 200 and 350 mg/dL. Serum
leptin 1 ng/mL (reference range: 2–18). In july 2017, in use of Metformin 1.5 g, Fenofibrate
160 mg and Losartan 50 mg/day, with HbA1C 7.6% and triglyceride level of 453 mg/dL.
Case 2: LJFA, 16 years old, at 10 with hyperglycemia (fasting 73 mg/dL; HbA1C 7%),
left ventricle hypertrophy detected by echocardiography and hepatomegaly. Leptin 1.3 ng/mL.
In 2016, HbA1C 7.8%, in use of Metformin 2 g/day, pioglitazone and vitamins E, A and
D supplementation. 2017 Fibroscan revealed Hepatic Fibrosis F3. In april 2017, HbA1C
6.1% and triglyceride level 151 mg/dL. By that time, Metreleptin was initiated at
a 5 mg/day dose (0.07 mg/kg/day) and Metformin was maintained. After 3 months, the
patient has HbA1C 5%, triglyceride level 70 mg/dL, TGO 42 U/L and TGP 32 U/L.
Discussion: BSCL is characterized by the absence of functional adipocytes and leptin
diminution. Major clinical criteria for diagnosis are: lipoatrophy (trunk, limbs and
face), acromegaloid features, hepatomegaly, hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance.
Minor criteria are: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, psychomotor retardation, hirsutism,
precocious puberty in women, bone cysts and phlebomegaly. Diagnosis is established
in an individual with 3 major criteria or 2 major plus 2 or more minor criteria, and/or
by detection of biallelic pathogenic variants in genes BSCL-2 and/or AGPAT-2. In the
presented cases, diagnosis was established solely by clinical criteria. After 60 years
of BSCL’s first description and of unsuccessful management with general use drugs,
metreleptin, a recombinant leptin analog, emerged with significant impact on metabolic
parameters of BSCL, notably on insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, lipid
profile and liver enzymes, as noted here in the comparison between the two brothers,
one in use of Metreleptin, and the other not.
Final comments: Metreleptin has been shown as pivotal in improving diabetes mellitus
status in BSCL patients, and therefore it is necessary to spread its use by this population.
Informed consent to publish has been obtained from these patients.

Case report: We present a case of a 63-year old, female patient, who had been diagnosed
with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) 20 years ago, poorly controlled, as well as chronic
kidney disease stage V. Patient has been undergoing hemodialysis for 3 years already
listed for renal transplantation, with a history of diabetic retinopathy submitted
to extensive photocoagulation, and also had a long-standing diagnosis of hypertension.
She was referred to an endocrinology center with a seven-month complaint of profuse
sweating, extending from the neck to the scalp. It was triggered by chewing any kind
of food and lasting up to 20 min after ingestion without associated symptoms. She
had initially been treated for Panic Disorder in another department. After evaluation
and exclusion of other diagnoses (medication use, trauma, or facial surgery) as well
as exclusion of another kind of diabetic neuropathy, such as sensitive or cardiac
autonomic neuropathy, the hypothesis of diabetic gustatory sweating (DGS) was established.
A starch-iodine test was performed, which was positive, revealing an extensive area
of sweating after eating a small amount of food. In the absence of contraindications,
systemic treatment with oxybutynin was proposed due to the size of sweating area and
involvement of the scalp. Patient experienced an excellent response as early as week
1 of medication use, with mild side effect of xerostomia; lower intensity sweating
only occurred with the ingestion of large amount of food.
Discussion: DGS is considered a type of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, usually associated
with other diabetic neuropathies and/or diabetic nephropathy. It is characterized
by the appearance of sweating during and/or shortly after a meal, and its intensity
depends on the amount of food ingested. It usually affects the upper thorax and face
and may be accompanied by erythema. DGS seems to be underdiagnosed because of different
intensities of symptoms and also due to the fact that it may not be a patient’s primary
complaint nor a physician’s question. It is observed, however, that patients affected
by DGS have worse quality of life. Therapeutic options include oral anticholinergics
(oxybutynin, glycopyrrolate, scopolamine), alpha-blockers (clonidine), topical agents
(glycopyrrolate), or botulinum toxin application. The onset of treatment improves
the quality of life and decreases the intensity and frequency of sweating.
Conclusion: Even though underdiagnosed, diabetic gustatory sweating is a common condition
among patients with long-term T2DM, which treatment provides an extensive improvement
in the quality of life of those patients. Informed consent to publish the case report
has been obtained from this patient.

Case report: A 12-year-old female, previously diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus,
on regular insulin use, presented with lowered level of consciousness and increasing
abdominal pain which first started a week before. The patient was then referred to
Hospital de Mairinque. At the admission the patient presented hyperglycemia (capillary
blood glucose = 453 mg/dL), metabolic acidosis (pH 7.01) and hypokalemia (potassium = 3.4 mEq/L).
It was performed administration of intravenous (IV) saline solution containing 4U
of regular insulin. Subsequently, administration of saline solution with insulin 0.1 U/g/h
and replacement of HCO3 were performed. She was intubated due to a decrease in the
level of consciousness and bronchoaspiration. The patient was transferred to Conjunto
Hospitalar de Sorocaba presenting leukocytosis (20,100/mm3). She was diagnosed with
urinary tract infection (UTI) by Candida sp, and then admitted to the pediatric intensive
care unit (PICU). The patient remained in the PICU for 14 days and had difficulty
maintaining hydroelectrolytic and glycemic control, then she evolved with severe dehydration,
acute renal failure and septic shock.
Discussion: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is characterized by dehydration, abdominal
pain, Kussmaul breathing (a deep and labored breathing pattern), lowered level of
consciousness, hyperglycemia (glycemia > 250 mg/dL), metabolic acidosis (arterial
pH < 7.3 or plasma bicarbonate (HCO3) < 15 mEq/dL), ketosis and ketonuria. Common
DKA complications are hydroelectrolytic disorders and cerebral edema (mainly in pediatric
cases). In this case report we present a case of a patient with type 1 DM who presented
a non-specific UTI with atypical symptoms which usually occur in children who evolved
with diabetic ketocidadose. We emphasize the importance of the discussion of the case
about the non-specific symptoms of UTI in children presenting with a complication
which was diabetic ketoacidosis.
Final comments: It’s possible that UTI promoted increase in proinflammatory cytokines,
these may cause insulin resistance which decreases the use of glucose, increases lipolysis
and, consequently, increases fatty acids in plasma. The oxidation of fatty acids leads
to the production of ketone bodies in the liver. The case presented several complications
caused by difficulties in maintaining hydroelectrolytic and glycemic control, resulting
in shock, long period of hospitalization and great risk to life.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is considered a worldwide public health problem.
It is estimated that there are 415 million adults with DM by 2015 and this number
is estimated to increase to 642 million by 2040 (IDF, 2015). Diabetic retinopathy
(RD) is one of the main complications related to DM and the main cause of blindness
in people aged 20-74 years (KLEIN; KLEIN, 2000). Thus, the duration of diabetes and
glycemic control are respectively the two most important factors related to the development
and severity of RD (DSBM, 2016).
Objective: To evaluate the RD rate of people participating in a health promotion program
for people with Diabetes Mellitus (GPSDM).
Method: A cross-sectional and descriptive study developed with 16 members of the Group
of Health Promotion of People with Diabetes Mellitus (Grupo de Promoção da Saúde de
pessoas com Diabetes Mellitus) (GPSDM) of the Federal University of Amapá (Universidade
Federal do Amapá) (UNIFAP). The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee
(Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP) from UNIFAP, with Postal Code/CEP number: 39488114.6.0000.0003.
Results: Demographic and socio-economic background information: female gender predominance
(56.2%), average age 58.5 (SD ± 11.7) years. CLI laboratory profile: 100% present
Type 2 DM, of these, 7 (41.1%) carry the disease less than 5 years, 6 (37.5%), 5 to
10 years and 3 (18.7%) over 10 years; Hypertension is 68.7%, average Systolic Blood
Pressure (SBP): 128.1 (DP ± 13.7)mmHg and Diastolic: 76.8 (DP ± 7.04)mmHg and HbA1c
average 6.8% (PD ± 1.8) (Table 1).
Conclusion: After the socio-demographic and clinical-laboratory analysis of the study
participants, it was verified that they did not present manifestations of microvascular
complications due to DM, such as RD. This is due to the weekly monitoring and observance
of their anthropometric values with intense health promotion and specialized consultations
in the Health Promotion Group for people with Diabetes Mellitus. Therefore, according
to the IDF (2015), good metabolic control or prevents the onset or delays the progression
of its complications, especially microangiopathic ones (Fig. 1).

Case report: Patient, 1 years and 2 months, Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (DM1) diagnosed
at the age of 11 months. In this case the child presented polydipsia, polyuria, vomiting
and dyspnea. It was hospitalized in the ICU dehydrated in diabetic ketoacidosis. The
examinations have shown metabolic acidosis with an 825 mg/dl glycemia index. In the
etiological investigation, the decarboxylase antibody of the glutamic acid (anti-GAD)
and the antiisland were positive. The patient has used the glargine and the ultrafast
insulin, but has evolved with a huge glycemic variability. This way, he has started
the therapy with the continuous infusion of insulin system and has improved the glycemic
control.
Discussion: The Diabetes diagnosis in children younger than 1 year old must include
the pancreas malformation and auto immune diabetes, specially during the 6 first months.
Between 6 months and 1 year, the auto immune DM1 is more common. The treatment with
insulin in this age group leads to hypoglycemia risks. The continuous infusion of
insulin system permits a glycemic control with less glycemic variability and glycemia
reduction.
Final considerations: The Diabetes and its diagnosis in children younger than 1 year
old is a challenge. The continuous infusion of insulin system permits a glycemic control
with less glycemic variability.

Introduction: Sedentary behavior (SB) is defined as behavior that generates low energy
expenditure (1.0-1.5 MET) in a sitting or reclining position during the waking time.
SB has been the new focus for research in the field of “physical activity for health”.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a better understanding about SB profile among
patients with type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) diabetes.
Objective: To compare SB between DM1 and DM2 groups.
Method: This is a cross-sectional study in which 100 patients DM1 and 150 DM2 were
evaluated; > 19 years, both genders and at least 1 year of diabetes diagnosis. Patients
with severe cardiovascular disease or functional disability were excluded. The study
was approved by the local Ethics Committee. SB was measured by tri-axial accelerometers
fixed with an elastic belt on the right side of the hip for 7 consecutive days, except
in activities in the water or during nighttime sleep. Data were recorded at 60-s intervals
and analyzed using ActiLife software version 6.13.3. Wear time validation was defined
according to the following criteria: (A) 1 day was considered valid if it had at least
600 min (10 h) of use, without excessive counts (> 20,000 counts.min-1); (B) Only
data that had at least 1 valid day was included in the analysis. SB was considered
as time spent in activities ≤ 200 counts min−1 of vector magnitude. Data were standardized
for 17 h of use. Comparisons of means between groups DM1 and DM2 were performed using
t-test for independent samples through IBM SPSS software, version 24. Data are showed
as mean ± SD.
Results: DM1 group: 59% were women; Age (y): 37.07 ± 12.12; Diagnostic time (y): 17.21 ± 10.25;
BMI (Kg.m-2): 25.14 ± 4.78; Waking time (h): 16.80 ± 1.44; A1C (%): 8.70 ± 1.96; SB
(min): 533.72 ± 103.15. DM2 group: 60.7% were women; Age: 57.54 ± 9.27; Diagnostic
time: 13.14 ± 7.88; BMI: 29.97 ± 5.41; Waking time: 16.34 ± 1.47; A1C: 8.21 ± 1.68;
SB: 495.02 ± 115.04. When comparing the groups, all variables above showed statistical
significance (p < 0.05). However, despite presenting statistically different BMI,
both are still classified as overweight/pre-obese. DM1 group presented more SB than
DM2 group (p = .007). DM1 were 38.69 min (7.25%) more sedentay than DM2 group.
Conclusion: Although we already know that DM1 and DM2 have distinct etiological characteristics,
this study is the first to demonstrate by objective measures that DM1 group presents
more time in SB than DM2 group. Funding: CNPq and FAPERJ (Fig. 1).

Background: The use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors may be associated
with increased risk for pancreatic cancer and acute pancreatitis. Recent meta-analyses
have reported conflicting findings. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess
the risk of both pancreatic cancer and acute pancreatitis associated with the use
of DPP-4 inhibitors. In addition, we investigate if the number of patients included
in the trials was enough to establish definitive conclusions.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.org were reviewed up
to February 2017. We included randomized controlled trials, lasting 24 weeks or more,
that compared DPP-4 inhibitors versus placebo or other antihyperglycemic agents. We
also performed trial sequential analysis (TSA) to estimate if meta-analysis was powered
for firm conclusions and a metarregression using duration of trial as a covariate
to access if it interfered in the results found.
Results: A total of 59,404 patients were included. There was no relationship between
the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and pancreatic cancer (Peto odds ratio 0.65; 95% CI 0.35–1.21),
and the optimal sample size was reached to determine a number needed to harm (NNH)
of 1000 patients. DPP-4 inhibitors were associated with increased risk for acute pancreatitis
(Peto odds ratio 1.72; 95% CI 1.18–2.53), with a large NNH (one case for 1066 patients
treated). Trial duration had no impact on the incidence of both outcomes.
Conclusion: In conclusion, there is no association between DPP-4 inhibitors and pancreatic
cancer, and a small risk for acute pancreatitis was observed with DPP-4 inhibitors
use. PROSPERO registry: CRD42016953346. Funding: Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento

Introduction: The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely-applied method of diagnosing the
nutritional status in clinic analyses, differentiating individuals in underweight,
eutrophic, overweight or obese. However, the literature has demonstrated that those
considered underweight or eutrophic are not always with the adequate percentage of
body fat. Considering that the accumulation of fat in the abdominal region is considered
a risk factor for endocrine, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, even if BMI is
within the limits of normality, it is essential to evaluate body composition in order
to reduce the risk of new coronary incidents in diabetic individuals, who are already
considered high-risk cardiovascular patients.
Objective: Identify the presence of inadequate body fat distribution in eutrophic
diabetic individuals.
Methods: A retrospective study of data from patients hospitalized at a cardiology
hospital during the period of 2010 to 2014 was carried out. Diabetic patients under
21 years old and of both sexes were included. Healthy BMI ranged between 18.5 and
24.9 kg/m2 for adults (WHO, 1997) and 22–26.9 kg/m2 for the elderly (Lipschitiz, 1994).
The variables taken into consideration were: gender, age, BMI and Abdominal Circumference
(AC). Body fat distribution was assessed by CA (≥ 88 cm for women and ≥ 102 cm for
men). The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (protocol number
346,129/2013) of the Universidade de Pernambuco hospital. The data were analyzed in
the SPSS software, v. 13.0, adopting a significant value of p < 0.05.
Results: From 49 patients with mean age of 66.4 ± 9.2 years with homogeneous distribution
between genders, the prevalence of poor body fat distribution in eutrophic diabetic
patients was 40.8%. It was found higher in females (p < 0.001) and similar in adults
and elderly (p = 0.301).
Conclusions: Eutrophic diabetic patients exhibited an inadequate distribution of body
fat, especially women, indicating that BMI should not be adopted as an isolated assessment
resource. Abdominal obesity should be evaluated in diabetics since it represents an
additional risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

Background: Aging can support a multiplicity of diseases that lead to polypharmacy
and drug interactions, increasing health risks among elderly adults, including those
with balance disorders and their associated comorbidities.
Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze drug interactions in elderly people
with vestibular diseases and their consequences on glycemia.
Materials and methods: A retrospective study was carried out involving 131 elderly
patients with a medical diagnosis of vestibular disease, at the research laboratory
of a private university in São Paulo, Brazil. The study was approved by the Institution‘s
Research Ethics Committee, approval number CAAE 24995713.6.0000.5493. We collected
sociodemographic, clinical, and pharmacological data. The identification and classification
of drugs were made according to the Anatomical, Therapeutic and Chemical Classification
System (ATC code); analysis of drug interactions and their consequences were carried
out using specialized software. A significance level of 5% was used for association
analysis.
Results: There was a prevalence of women (86%) in the study population, and mean age
was 70.5 years. Dizziness was the most frequent vestibular complaint (97%). There
was concomitant use of 3–5 drugs (45%) and 6 or more drugs (27%). The most prevalent
drugs were for treatment of cardiovascular (29%), nervous (23%), and digestive system
disorders and metabolism disorders (14%), among others. Of the total, 71 elderly patients
(54%) had some type of drug interaction, especially women and those aged 65–70 years
(32%). The most frequent consequences of these interactions included hyperglycemia
(13%) owing to a reduced insulin effect, and increased hyperglycemic effect of thiazides,
and hypoglycemia (11%) due to an increased hypoglycemic effect, and increased risk
of hypoglycemia. The Chi square test showed a significant association between concomitant
use of 6 or more drugs and hyperglycemia (p < 0.001). There was no association of
these consequences with the most common vestibular symptoms (dizziness, body imbalance,
and tinnitus) or the occurrence of falls (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Polypharmacy increases drug interactions and the use of 6 or more drugs
may result in hyperglycemia, a serious condition associated with vestibular disorders.
It is important to monitor insulin therapy and thiazide diuretics to avoid this therapeutic
consequence. Glycemic control is relevant in the treatment of vestibular disorders
and contributes to the control of body balance in elderly patients with vestibular
complaints.

Introduction: Among the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), there is
the diabetic foot. This condition requires great investment of care and permanent
educational interventions that can contribute to reduce this complication. In Nursing,
there are different technologies that promote the emancipation of the people involved
in the care process. In the classification of technologies highlighted in this study
the construction of an educational technology, the primer type.
Objective: To describe the process of building an educational booklet on self-care
to the diabetic foot.
Method: Methodological approach, in which the steps are followed: the content and
type of technology selection to be built, imaging, typesetting and composition of
the layout. Among the selected and addressed care in the booklet, the highlights:
daily foot inspection to detect early minor trauma, care such as washing and drying
the feet, particularly the interdigital spaces to avoid injury, hydration of the feet
to prevent drying of the skin with moisturizer use, cutting the toenails with clippers
and nail scissors with rounded tip, and others. The ethical and legal aspects of research
involving human beings were respected in accordance with Resolution 466/2012 and the
project was approved by the Ethics Committee of the State University of Ceará (UECE)
under Opinion No. 728464/2014.
Results: The work resulted in the production of the final version of the booklet,
which was entitled “Healthy Foot‘s Foot Well Care”. The construction process of the
booklet was based from the items of the Accession Questionnaire Self Care Patients
with Diabetic Feet (QPED) Silva (2014).
Conclusion: The feature is facilitator for the improvement of knowledge and self-care
practices with diabetic foot.

Introduction: Brazil is the third country with the highest number of Type 1 Diabetes
(T1D) new cases per year in young people. Treatment requires the development of skills
and knowledge for self-care. Among behaviors that are expected, taking medication
is challenging, since insulin therapy is a highly complex subject and requires an
adequate educational approach according to age group.
Objective: To identify evidence from the literature about educational strategies on
insulin therapy targeted at young people with T1D.
Method: A systematic review was led in October 2016. Searches were conducted at Medline
via PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, LILACS and ERIC databases. MeSH terms used were Insulin/therapeutic
use, Patient Education as Topic, Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, Child, Infant, Adolescent
and other keywords. Primary studies on educational strategies for insulin therapy
targeted to young people with T1D were included. Studies regarding insulin pump therapy
were excluded.
Results: 226 references were identified of which 12 met the inclusion criteria. Studies
were published between 1991 and 2013. Educational strategies aimed at young people
(from 8 to 24 years old) were described. These strategies were implemented in a large
variety of.
Methods: One-on-one sessions, in groups, by telephone, by a text messages, through
role play and diabetes camps. Studies did not focus solely on insulin therapy education,
but rather on general aspects of diabetes education. Positive results were described
regarding quality of life, reduction of hypoglycemia episodes and number of hospitalizations.
No significant results were described in terms of the improvement of metabolic control.
Conclusions: The development of educational strategies for young people with T1D is
needed. Educational strategies should be tailored by using appropriate language, and
focusing specifically on insulin therapy and its complexity. The development of interventions
to promote self-care behaviors related to insulin therapy contributes with teaching
guidelines to young people with T1D, with promoting adherence to drug therapy, and
with improving metabolic control.

Alpha-linolenic acid supplementation effects on endoplasmic reticulum stress in visceral
adipose tissue from morbid obese patients. 2017. Tese (Doutorado)—Faculdade de Medicina
de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2017. Currently, obesity
is considered a worldwide epidemic. It is associated with chronic inflammation and
stress activation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ERE), related to the pathogenesis
of various diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, cancer,
hypertension, among others. In this context, studies are needed to find alternatives
that improve the inflammatory process. Several studies in humans and animals have
already demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acid. The objective
of our study was to evaluate the effects of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) supplementation
on the metabolism and stress of the endoplasmic reticulum in obese patients. A prospective,
randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was conducted. In total, 52 patients
were randomized to supplementation with 3 g/day of ALA or placebo, 27 individuals
from the omega-3/ALA group and 25 from the control group. Lipid, glycidic and inflammatory
profile were evaluated before and after supplementation. Visceral adipose tissue (TAV)
was collected during bariatric surgery after supplementation. The fatty acid profile
incorporated in the TAV was evaluated by gas chromatography. Genes were evaluated
by real-time PCR. There was no change in serum levels of IL-6 (p = 0.2201), TNF-α
(0.7703) and CRP (p = 0.57) after supplementation with ALA, but we observed a decrease
in serum Leptin levels (P = 0.0154) and IP-10 (p = 0.0410), inflammatory cytokines,
and increase in IL-4 (p = 0.0211), anti-inflammatory cytokine. Significant incorporation
of ALA (p = 0.0002), EPA (p < 0.0001) and DHA (p = 0.0005) into the TAV was observed.
Molecular evaluation showed an increase in the gene expression of XBP1 (p = 0.0013),
sXBP1 (p < 0.0001), EIF2-α (p = 0.0063), GADD34 (p = 0.0117) and CCT4 chaperone (p = 0.0001),
decrease in the gene expression of leptin (p = 0.0410) and ATF-6 (p = 0.0305) and
a tendency to decrease the gene expression of CHOP. We can conclude that ALA can modulate
ERE through the IRE1/XBP, PERK and ATF-6 pathways, leading to increased chaperones
(CCT4), which may demonstrate a therapeutic potential of ALA in obese patients.

Background: In type 2 diabetes mellitus, sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors
type 2 (iSGLT-2) reduce the renal glucose reabsorption threshold, resulting in glycosuria,
lower glycotoxicity and insulin resistance, improved beta-cell function, loss of body
weight and consequent improvement of glycemic control. Glucose is the main source
of energy for the brain and, in the hypothalamus where the mechanisms of hunger and
satiety are regulated, the expression of SGLTs may be important in the detection of
glucose and a possible therapeutic target for obesity. So, the aim of this study was
to evaluate the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor (dapagliflozin) on glycemic and energetic
homeostasis and the hypothalamic functionality of healthy people.
Methods: Twenty healthy and non-diabetic women (19–37 years old) were evaluated at
baseline and 7 days after dapagliflozin (10 mg/day), maintaining their regular lifestyle.
Body mass index (BMI), sagittal abdominal diameter, body composition by electrical
bioimpedance and energy expenditure of resting and oxidation of energetic substrates
in fasting by indirect calorimetry were analyzed. Functional magnetic resonance imaging
detected the activation of brain areas against the stimulation of glucose and dapagliflozin.
From the oral glucose tolerance test (TTOG), insulin sensitivity, hepatic insulin
extraction and beta-cell function were assessed by mathematical modeling. Moreover,
glucose, insulin, peptide C, glucacon, glycated hemoglobin, adiponectin and free fatty
acids were measured.
Results: After the intervention, there was no reduction in BMI (21.7 ± 2.0 vs. 21.5 ± 2.0 kg/m2,
p = 0.05), sagittal abdominal diameter (15.1 ± 1.1 vs. 14, (p = 0.05) and fat percentage
(28.4 ± 6.3 vs. 27.6 ± 4.0%, p = 0.46). Calorimetry did not identify significant changes
in energy expenditure and respiratory quotient. There was a reduction in glycemia
(75 ± 7 vs. 71 ± 7 mg/dL, p = 0.02), a trend to reduce insulinemia (5.7 ± 3.6 vs.
3.9 ± 3.5 mU/mL, p = 0.05) and increased adiponectin levels (3.2 ± 1.4 vs. 5.7 ± 3.3 μg/mL,
p = 0.02) and free fatty acids (0.6 ± 0.2 vs. 0.3 mmol/L, p = 0.02). In TTOG, after
intervention, there was better efficiency in the glycemic curve decay (p = 0.028)
without accompanied changes in the curves of insulin, peptide C and glucagon. Also,
there was an increase in insulin sensitivity index with oral glucose-OGIS (p = 0.048),
reduction of beta-cell sensitivity to glucose, greater efficiency in the first phase
of insulin secretion and reduction in the rate of insulin secretion to a glycemia
of 90 mg/dL. Functional magnetic resonance imaging examined correlation and connectivity
among the hypothalamus and other brain regions, such as insula and primary gustatory
cortex, suggesting that the use of dapagliflozin may alter these connections.
Conclusions: The intervention with dapaglifozin in healthy women did not alter energetic
homeostasis and provided a set of metabolic adaptations to maintain normal glycemic
levels and to prevent hypoglycemia against the glycosuric effect of the drug. The
use of dapagliflozin may alter the connections among the hypothalamus and specific
regions of the brain, which are related to food intake. Thus, dapagliflozin can act
similarly to glucose and play a possible role in hunger control.

Background: Most studies, though not all, indicate that the maximum glucose transport
capacity of the proximal tubule (TmG) is increased in patients with type 2 diabetes
(T2D). Furthermore, one study from 1951 suggested that insulinization may reduce TmG.
In contrast, in human embryonic kidney 293T cells insulin increases the activity of
transfected human SGLT2. To assess these issues de novo, we examined the effect of
physiological hyperinsulinaemia on TmG and urinary glucose excretion (UGE) in healthy
subjects (NGT) and T2D patients under steady-state conditions of plasma glucose and
insulin concentrations. Subjects and.
Methods: 13 T2D (7F/6 M; 54 ± 6 years, mean ± SD; BMI = 29.5 ± 5.0 kg/m2; HbA1c = 7.6 ± 0.6%)
and 12 NGT (6F/6 M; 36 ± 10 years; 24.2 ± 3.0 kg/m2) received a IV 7-h constant somatostatin
(400 µg/h) and a variable glucose infusion to achieve steady-state glycaemias of ~ 22 mmol/L
in 1 h and to maintain this level for the next 3 h (CT period). Then, a constant insulin
infusion (1 mU min−1 kg−1) was started and maintained for additional 3 h (INS period)
while clamping glycaemia at CT levels with the use of an ad hoc algorithm. Urines
were collected separately for the two study periods for the measurement of glucose
and creatinine.
Results: Plasma glucose plateaus were similar across group and study periods. Exogenous
glucose infusion rate (GIR) was similar in T2D and NGT during the CT period (26 ± 12
vs 36 ± 16 µmol kg MM−1 min−1; p = ns); during the INS period, GIR rose much higher
in NGT than T2D (157 ± 46 vs 71 ± 47 µmol kg MM−1 min−1, p < 0.0001). Creatinine clearance
was similar between groups and study periods. During the CT period, UGE was significantly
lower in T2D than in NGT (490[280] vs 690 [180] µmol min−1, median and [IQR], p = 0.03)
whereas fractional glucose excretion (FEG) tendede to change (17 ± 6 and 20 ± 5%,
respectively; p = 0.0502). During the INS period, both UGE and FEG rose above CT levels
in NGT (to 770 [320] µmol min−1 and 24 ± 3%, respectively, p < 0.005 for both vs CT),
whereas UGE tended to change in T2D (530[310] µmol min−1; p = 0.0546) and FEG was
unchanged (17 ± 7%, p = ns). In the pooled data of T2D and NGT participants, FEG was
positively associated with GIR during the INS period (Rho = 0.462, p = 0.0008).
Conclusions: Acute physiological hyperinsulinaemia during steady-state hyperglycaemia
increases urinary glucose excretion in NGT subjects. This insulin effect is impaired
in patients with type 2 diabetes, and may be related to insulin resistance.

Background: The balance between eating behavior and energy expenditure is coordinate
by specialized neurons in hypothalamic nuclei. In the arcuate nucleus, NPY/AgRP and
POMC/CART neurons respond to peripheral signals regarding energetic status. Variations
in blood glucose levels generate a hypothalamic response that is still poorly understood,
however the transporters GLUT and SGLT play an important role in this process. The
sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) is expressed in the kidney and brain
and its inhibition leads to glycosuria and caloric loss concomitantly with a decrease
in body weight and an apparent increase in food intake. Thus the aims of this study
were to evaluate (i) the effect of SGLT-2 inhibition by dapagliflozin in the hypothalamus
of mice; (ii) the potential effect of dapagliflozin on body weight, food intake and
glycemic homeostasis; (iii) to characterize the hypothalamic expression of neurotransmitters
involved on the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure.
Methods: C57BL/6 mice received vehicle or dapagliflozin (1, 5 or 10 mg/kg) by gavage
once a day for 2 weeks. Body weight and food intake were evaluated at treatment times
0, 7 and 14 days. At the end of the treatment, glucose tolerance was evaluated by
ipGTT as well as epididymal adipose tissue weight and neurotransmitters by immunofluorescence.
Results: SGLT-2 is expressed in the arcuate nucleus and colocalizes with POMC and
NPY neurons. The treatment with dapagliflozin did not alter food intake significantly,
although there was a decrease in body weight gain (mean = 0.56 ± 1.1 g, p < 0.05)
and a trend to reduce epididymal adipose mass (mean = 0.15 ± 0.02 g, p = 0.13). There
was increased glycosuria (mean = 307.2 mg/dL, min = 30 mg/dL, max = 1221 mg/dL, p < 0.05),
improved fasting glycemia (mean = 165.6 ± 28.8 mg/dL, p < 0.05) and reduction in the
area under glucose curve during the glucose tolerance test (mean = 28,078 ± 5623.5
arbitrary units, p < 0.05).
Conclusions: SGLT-2 is expressed in the hypothalamic arcuate nuclei and colocalizes
with neurons that control energetic homeostases. The treatment with dapagliflozin
for 2 weeks improved fasting glycemia and glucose tolerance, promoted glycosuria and
reduced body weight gain without altering food intake. Understanding the mechanisms
involved in body weight control promoted by dapagliflozin could guide strategies to
enhance weight loss in obesity concomitantly with diabetes treatment.

Functional hypogonadism in obese male patients is considerably higher if compared
with the general population, fact that is widely reported in literature. One of the
ways to study this condition is to analyze gonadal hormonal changes after the weight
loss resulting from bariatric surgery, being this approach employed in this study.
The present work comprises a longitudinal and observational investigation of 27 men,
aged between 30 and 64 years, body mass index (BMI) greater than 35, that underwent
to bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the sleeve gastrectomy). The clinical
data were recorded, for all subjects, before and after 6 months of the surgical procedures.
After 6 months of the surgery, a substantial weight loss from 158.5 ± 25.8 to 119.4 ± 20.8 kg
(p < 0.0001 for both) was verified. The BMI and total testosterone (TT) level ranged
from 51.9 ± 6.6 to 39.2 ± 5.6 (p < 0.0001) and 225.5 ± 96.9 ng/dl to 394.4 ± 160.9 ng/dl
(p < 0.001), respectively. The hypogonadism (TT ≤ 300 ng/dl), verified in 85% of the
subjects before the surgery, persisted in only 26% of these patients after 6 months.
There were no statistical differences in hypogonadism neither between the two surgical
techniques, nor between the patient groups with and without diabetes. The results
point out that the weight loss induced by bariatric surgery leads to an important
recovery of the gonadal function in a significant number of male patients.

Introduction: During pregnancy, hyperglycemia can lead to maternal and fetal complications,
causing reproductive changes. Alternatives are considered to treat diabetes and prevent
its complications, and one of these alternatives is the use of medicinal plants, such
as Curatella americana. However, there is no scientific evidence on the safety of
this plant effect during gestation.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the aqueous extract of Curatella americana in
the reproductive performance of pregnant rats with mild intensity hyperglycemia.
Methods: Diabetes was induced in newborn female Wistar rats, at 24 h after birth,
by subcutaneous injection of Streptozotocin at a single dose of 100 mg/kg. At 110 days
of age (adulthood), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to confirm the
mild diabetes model. After confirmation of the diabetes, the rats were mated and distributed
into 4 experimental groups (n = 12 animals/group): Control: Non-diabetic rats treated
with water; Control Treated: Nondiabetic rats treated with the plant; Diabetic: Diabetic
rats treated with water; Diabetic Treated: Diabetic rats treated with the plant. The
administration of the Curatella americana leaves aqueous extract, at dose of 300 mg/kg,
was done daily, by gavage, throughout pregnancy. The maternal weight was verified
at the beginning and end of pregnancy. On the morning of the 21st day of pregnancy,
the rats were anesthetized and the uterus was removed. Pre- and post-implantation
loss rates were calculated.
Results: Both diabetic groups exhibited higher pre-implantation loss rates and lower
maternal weight gain. The treatment with the plant change no others reproductive parameters.
Conclusion: The reproductive alterations showed in the present study were caused by
hyperglycemia, and treatment with Curatella americana did not cause any maternal impairment
at this dose.

Background: One of the most observed pathologies in pregnancy is Diabetes Mellitus
(DM). When Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is not identified and treated can lead
to complications during gestation and/or delivery, besides woman with GDM may develop
Type 2 DM in the future, and their children can become obese and have DM as adults.
In Brazil, according to the Ministry of Health (MH), the screening should be universal
with assessment of risk factors and fasting glycemia (FG) at the first prenatal visit,
ideally in the first trimester. If negative, FG should be repeated in the second trimester.
If positive, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be requested. The cut-off point
of normal glycemia in pregnancy of 4.72 mmol/L was standardized by a Brazilian multicenter
study using parameters from the World Health Organization with sensitivity of 94%.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GDM screening
according to the MH guideline, using FG criteria in postpartum women in the public
health care who had their deliveries at the University Hospital of Santa Maria-RS.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, postpartum women over 18 years of age who underwent
prenatal care at the health units and had the pregnant woman‘s card at the time of
the interview were included. Data were collected through interviews, analysis of the
pregnant women’s card and evaluation of medical charts between January and April of
2015. Informed consent to publish has been obtained from patients. The study was approved
by University of Santa Cruz do Sul Institutution‘s Ethics Board, approval number 37290714700005343.
Results: Of the total of 283 postpartum women studied 85.5% performed a FG, 14.5%
did not perform the test. Negative screening was observed in 74.8% of postpartum women,
while 25.2% had positive test. Of the postpartum women with negative screening, only
50.3% continued research. Of the women with positive screening who should progress
in the investigation performing the OGTT, only 37.7% did it.
Conclusion: In this group was observed that GDM screening process, through FG was
not performed effectively in 59.7% of the women, as recommended by MH. Therefore,
it is necessary to identify the factors responsible for ineffectiveness and promote
awareness and training of the health team in the basic care to improve the screening
and diagnosis of this pathology, aiming to reduce maternal–fetal morbidity and mortality
and its future consequences.

Background: Plasma nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) are an important source of energy
during fasting and postprandial periods but their excess could have an inhibitory
effect on insulin secretion (IS). Information on in vivo effects of NEFA on incretin-stimulated
IS is lacking.
Aim: Assess the effects of acute hyperlipidaemia on incretin-stimulated IS in healthy
subjects (HS).
Methods: 10 HS, 34 ± 3 years, BMI 24 ± 2 kg/m2 were studied in 2 sets of experiments.
First, each subject received a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (CT-OGTT) and, a week
later, an isoglycaemic intravenous glucose infusion (CT-IIGT) matching glycaemic profile
from CT-OGTT. Both tests were repeated during a 20% Intralipid infusion (60 mL/h)
plus a primed continuous heparin infusion started 2 h before either test (L-OGTT and
L-IIGT). The dynamics of IS were assessed by mathematical model of glucose and C-peptide
responses.
Main parameters: insulin secretion rate (ISR); glucose sensitivity (ßGS—the mean slope
of the IS/plasma glucose dose–response curve); glucose-induced potentiation (PGLU),
a time-dependent modulation of the dose–response during IIGI; incretin-induced potentiation
(PINCR), which quantifies the time-course of the incretin effect, IE. The IE was also
indexed as the oral-to-IV ratio of IS. Results NEFA rose from 0.19 ± 0.03 to 3.55 ± 0.53 mmol/L
on the L-OGTT, and from 0.23 ± 0.03 to 3.77 ± 0.45 mmol/L on the L-IIGT (p ˂ 0.005
for both). Plasma triglycerides increased from 0.7 ± 0.1 to 3.2 ± 0.6 mmol/L on L-OGTT
and from 0.6 ± 0.1 to 3.2 ± 0.5 mmol/l on L-IIGT (p ˂ 0.005 for both). While lipid
infusion raised glycemia only marginally (p = ns), it increased total ISR from 61
[26] to 78 [31] nmol m−2, median [IQR] on the OGTT (p = 0.005), and from 29 [26] to
57 [30] nmol m−2 on the IIGT (p = 0.02). While neither ßGS nor PGLU was significantly
affected (p = ns), PINCR decreased from 1.6 [1.1] to 1.3 [0.2] units, p = 0.05. Moreover,
during Intralipid infusion IE was significantly decreased between 0 and 90 min (p = 0.001).
The time-courses of GLP-1 and GIP did not change significantly, while the plasma ghrelin
response to the OGTT declined from 12.3 ± 2.6 to 8.2 ± 1.2 ng/mL, p = 0.005. Lipid
infusion also induced mild insulin resistance during the OGTT (as the oral insulin
sensitivity index [OGIS] decreased from 402 ± 22 to 355 ± 28 mL min−1 m−2 p = 0.05).
Conclusion: An acute increment in plasma lipids stimulates total insulin secretion
but selectively impairs incretin-stimulated insulin secretion.

Introduction: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used as a raw material in the production of everyday
utensils, but there is evidence that it may have estrogenic, antiestrogenic and antiandrogenic
actions related to increased adiposity and type 2 diabetes.
Objective: The effects of BPA on the development of obesity and glucose homeostasis
in ovariectomized (OVX) and high fat diet (HFD) female mice.
Methods: Female Swiss mice with 80–100 days of life were OVX, after 2 weeks females
in anestrous were distributed in the control groups (CTL): fed with normolipid diet
and water containing 0.01% ethanol (vehicle); BPA control (CBPA): normolipid diet
and water containing 0.01% ethanol and 1 μg/mL BPA; HFD: diet containing 36 g% fat
and vehicle; and (HBPA): HFD and BPA. After 3 months, glucose tolerance test (GTT)
and islet isolation for insulin secretion were performed (CEUA UFRJ-Macaé: MAC035
approval). Data were analyzed for the distribution of normality (Shapiro–Wilk), followed
by analysis of variances: parametric (ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls) or non-parametric
(Kruskal–Wallis followed by Dunns; P < 0.05).
Results: HFD females had higher body weight (BW, 57.3 ± 2.3 g) when compared to female
CTL (47.8 ± 1.8 g). The HBPA group had higher CP (63.4 ± 2.1 g) when compared to HFD.
During the GTT, HFD females presented hyperglycemia at 15 and 30 min of the test (444 ± 13
and 453 ± 23 mg/dL) in relation to CTL (332 ± 19 and 361 ± 24 mg/dL, respectively).
HBPA female presented hyperglycemia similar to the HFD group (427 ± 17 and 450 ± 22 mg/dL)
at 15 and 30 min of GTT. AUC area in GTT was higher in HFD females (33,049 ± 2931 mg/dL min−1)
than in CTL females (21,658 ± 1910 mg/dL min−1). However, HBPA females had AUC area
in GTT (32,409 ± 1992 mg/dL min−1) similar to HFD and CTL. Insulin secretion in response
to 2.8 and 22.2 mM glucose did not differ between HFD islets (1.2 ± 0.14 and 4.0 ± 0.7 ng/islet h)
and CTL (0.88 ± 0.1 and 2.0 ± 0.3 ng/islet h). However, islets isolated from HFD females
secreted more insulin compared to 11.1 mM glucose (1.0 ± 0.3 ng/ilhota h) relative
to CTL islets (0.5 ± 0.2 ng/islet h). Females consuming BPA and HFD hypersecreted
insulin in response to 2.8 and 11.1 mM glucose (1.8 ± 0.2 and 1.0 ± 0.3 ng/islet h).
Conclusion: Data to date demonstrate that the HFD diet causes glucose intolerance,
when associated with BPA, elevates BW and generates impaired insulin secretion.

Background: The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and sleep is already
established and studies indicate that this relationship is bidirectional. Measures
to improve sleep quality may reduce the emotional stress related to diabetes and consequently
improve glycemic control.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of educational strategy of sleep hygiene and light exposure
on sleep quality, emotional stress and glycemic control in people with T2DM.
Methods: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), unicego, involving 91 participants with
DM2, attended in primary care service, in a municipality in the south of Minas Gerais,
Brazil. Participants were randomized into two groups: intervention (IG), who received
the educational strategy of sleep hygiene and exposure to light and control (CG),
who received guidance on foot care and were followed for a period of 3 months. Both
groups received face-to face counseling at 1-month intervals and telephone reinforcements
each week, with the exception of the last month. The variables related to sociodemographic
and clinical characterization, sleep quality, diabetes-related distress (DRD) and
glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were performed at the baseline and at the 3rd month of
follow-up. The primary endpoint was the assessment of sleep quality observed after
3 months of follow-up. The Consolidated Statement of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) was
followed for randomization, masking, group tracking and data analysis. Linear mixed
effects models were used to compare the variables over time and the linear regression
model to correlate the variables with the primary outcome. The level of significance
was set at 5%. Ethics Approval: The study was approved by the University of Campinas’
Ethics Board, approval number 1.183.930/2015 and conducted according to the recommendations
of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Results: Comparison over time, between groups, showed that IG presented better sleep
quality (mean of 5.02 versus 6.30 points, p = 0.0272). For the IG, over time, there
was an improvement in sleep quality (p < 0.0001) and in the mean of DRD score (p = 0.0001).
Through a linear regression model, it was observed that the variables of DRD, gender
and type of group had influence, with significant statistical difference on sleep
quality. Being male and showing improvement in DRD levels contributed significantly
to sleep quality improvement (p = 0.0314 and p = 0.0202, respectively). In relation
to the groups, belonging to the IG contributes to the improvement of sleep quality
(p = 0.0024).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that measures of sleep hygiene and exposure to
light have a positive effect on the improvement of sleep quality, emotional stress
and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is increasing and
the primary health care (PHC) plays an important role in its management. In an attempt
to improve the training of PHC team, the National Telehealth Program was created.
One of the aims of this program is to stimulate the transition of care, increasing
the safety of outpatient discharge from specialized services.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a telehealth strategy in T2DM patients
who were discharged from a tertiary hospital outpatient clinic.
Methods: Randomized clinical trial open-label (randomization 1:1). Were included T2DM
patients on treatment at Endocrinology Service of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre,
with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) < 8% and indication of discharge. The exclusion criteria
were: glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min, symptomatic ischemic heart disease,
severe peripheral and autonomic neuropathy. Both groups were discharged and were followed-up
in PHC. The intervention group received phone-calls for education in T2DM by a trained
nurse every 3 months and a free phone number (0800) for resolution of any doubt. The
control group received calls without intervention. After 1 year of follow-up, both
groups returned for clinic evaluation.
Results: To date, 145 patients were included in the study (target 150), with 2 follow-up
losses. The sample consisted of 62.3% women, 67.2% white, with median age of 65.3 ± 11.2 years-old,
BMI 31.1 ± 7.4, with a DM duration of 15.4 ± 10.8 years. Medium HbA1c (%) at discharge
was 7.01 ± 0.68, fasting glucose (mg/dl) was 127.37 ± 42.33 and creatinine (mg/dl)
was 0.91 ± 0.29, without differences between groups at baseline. To date, 67 patients
were evaluated after 1 year. There were no differences between groups (control and
intervention, respectively) in terms of HbA1c (7.6% × 6.9%, p = 0.16), systolic blood
pressure (129 mmHg × 129 mmHg, p = 0, 85), diastolic blood pressure (77 mmHg × 75 mmHg,
p = 0.35) and total cholesterol (161 mg/dL × 160 mg/dL, p = 0.48).
Conclusions: In a preliminary analysis of the data, after 1 year of follow up, the
patients maintained a good glycemic control, with no differences between the groups.
These findings need to be confirmed in the final analysis of the study.

Introduction: Physical exercise is one of the main interventions capable of modulating
energy homeostasis, but little is known about the relationship between physical exercise
and adiponectin in the energy balance of regulatory mechanisms.
Objective: Verify the acute physical exercise effect on the adiponectin signaling
pathway modulation in the hypothalamus of obese mice and its action on energetic homeostasis.
Methods: Swiss mice, 6 weeks old, were divided into 3 groups exposed to different
diets: CTL-standard diet; OBS-hyperlipidic diet; OBEX-hyperlipidic diet and submitted
to the protocol of acute physical exercise (3 sessions of 45 min at treadmill with
break of 15 min between each session). Serum adiponectin, glucose tolerance, food
intake and energy expenditure were analyzed. For the molecular analyzes, the animals
received stimulation of intraperitoneal leptin. Signaling pathway of leptin proteins,
adiponectin and PI3K-Akt in the hypothalamus and UCP1 in brown adipose tissue were
analyzed.
Results: It was demonstrated that the OBEX group did not present alteration in the
total body mass compared to the OBS. However, an increase in glucose tolerance and
serum adiponectin of OBEX were observed compared to OBS (Fig. 1). There was a reduction
in food intake in OBEX when compared to OBS, and APPL1 mRNA levels correlated negatively
with food intake (Fig. 2). In addition, OBEX showed increased oxygen consumption and
heat production compared to OBS. At the molecular level, OBEX presented an increase
in UCP1 compared to the other groups (Fig. 3). In addition, physical exercise was
not able to modulate the leptin pathway (Fig. 4). However, the exercise had a positive
effect on the APPL1, key protein in the adiponectin transduction pathway. It was observed
that OBS group presented reduction in the hypothalamic APPL1 in relation to the CTL
group and the OBEX animals showed APPL1 increased compared to OBS (Fig. 5). The animals
exercised showed increased protein content in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in the
hypothalamus (Fig. 6). Finally, in both animal and human bioinformatics analyzes,
there was a strong correlation between the levels of mRNA of APPL1 and hypothalamic
PI3K (Fig. 6).

Introduction: Collagen is the main protein responsible for resistance to flexibility,
and in connective tissue disorders of glucose metabolism in the diabetic can produce
a superglicolization of specific collagens, thus reducing levels of flexibility.
Objective: To verify the effects of regular physical exercise on the flexibility levels
of type 2 diabetics.
Method: Characterized as a quasi-experimental study. The sample was non-probabilistic;
11 female subjects with type 2 diabetes, with a mean age of 66.5 ± 1.6 years, participated
in the study. The training protocol was composed of resistance and aerobic training,
the flexibility assessment was performed before and after the intervention that lasted
6 weeks. To assess flexibility, a Tera Flex 1.8 digital flexometer was used by Tera
Science. For the comparison of the means of the variables, a variance analysis was
used with repeated measures, and multiple comparisons using Fisher‘s least significant
difference method and Wilcoxon‘s nonparametric test. For all tests a significance
level was adopted p < 0.05.
Results: There was an increase from 87.7 ± 12.5 to 102.4 ± 14.6 (p = 0.003), in the
thoracic joint amplitude of the diabetics evaluated.
Conclusion: The training protocol used in this study showed a significant increase
in the levels of flexibilities of type 2 diabetics, of this sample.

Introduction: The distal peripheral polyneuropathy (DPP) is one of the main Diabetes
complications and physical exercise can be an alternative to minimize the signs and
symptoms.
Objective: Assessment of resistance training effects on signs and symptoms of DPP
on type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial with 10 diabetic patients (7 women and 3 men
58.8 ± 3.8 years; 71.9 ± 9.1 kg; 158 ± 5.5 cm; 15.6 ± 10.6 years of DM2 diagnostic)
with DDP diagnosed by the DDP diagnostic scale (DDPDS). They were randomized in two
groups, the control group (n = 4) received education sessions about diabetes, and
the exercise group (n = 6) besides the education sessions, followed a moderate exercise
training for upper and lower limbs 3 times a week, during 12 weeks. The DDPDS provided
the Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) of each
individual. The tactile sensibility was evaluated with the Semmes–Weinstein monofilament
(10 g). After the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, the pared t test was used for
intragroup comparisons. For the intergroup comparison, the t test was used for independent
samples both on pre and post intervention phases.
Results: The results showed significant improvements on the NDS, on both intragroup
comparison of the exercise group (p < 0.01) and intergroup comparison on the post-intervention
moment. The other parameters assessed did not show significant difference.
Conclusion: The resistance training was effective on the improvement of the Neuropathy
Disability Score of type 2 diabetic patients with distal diabetic polyneuropathy.

Introduction: Pregestational diabetes is associated with adverse outcomes for the
mother and the newborn. This may further depend on the epoch women were treated, due
to changes in standards of care and maternal clinical characteristics. Our objective
was to study characteristics of pregnant diabetic women across two periods of time.
Methods: We evaluated 220 women, 85 with type 1 diabetes (DM) and 135 with type 2
DM, attended at a specialized prenatal care. Clinical characteristics as weight, body
mass index (BMI), preeclampsia, cesarean section and newborn outcomes were evaluated.
Epoch of care was stratified in two periods: from 2005 until 2010 (period 1) and after
2010 (period 2). Analyses were performed applying the Student‘s t test and the Chi
square test in SPSS version18.
Results: Type 1 DM was more frequent in period 1 (56.5% vs. 43.5%), but was surpassed
by type 2 DM in period 2 (63.0% vs 37.0%) (p = 0.005). The Figure presents the number
of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes taking prenatal care at each year. Previous
macrosomia (8.2% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.011) and previous preeclampsia (PE) (9.2% vs 21.3%;
p = 0.015), as well as pregestational BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (59.1% vs 78%, p = 0.003) were
more frequent in period 2. There was a trend to a lower diagnosis of PE (37.0% vs
24.8%; p = 0.055) in the second period. We stratified data of the two periods according
to type of diabetes: in women with type 2 diabetes, previous PE and macrosomia were
more frequent and ρfamily history of diabetes, less frequent, in the second period.
Conversely, women with type 1 diabetes presented higher pre-pregnancy weight and higher
A1c test in the second period.
Conclusion: Nowadays, women of reproductive age are frequently diagnosed as having
type 2 diabetes, in parallel to the escalating rates of obesity; even those with type
1 DM presented higher pre-gestational weight in the second period. The effects of
nutritional transition are also reflected in women with pre-gestational diabetes (Fig.
1).

Introduction: In diabetes mellitus, changes in skeletal muscle, associated with age
muscle mass loss, contribute to a decrease of muscle strength, balance and control.
Objective: To investigate the effects of physical training after 3 months of intervention
in the balance of elderly with type 2 diabetes.
Method: Characterized as quase-experimental. Twenty-four elderly with type 2 diabetes
were enrolled in a supervised physical exercise program. Two groups of moderate intensity
(n = 11) and high intensity (n = 13) were organized. The physical training protocol
was composed of aerobic and strength training. The strength group was divided into
moderate intensity of 20–25 repetitions and high intensity of 8–15 repetitions, both
with 1′ interval. The aerobic group, which used the treadmill, used the protocol with
10′ in the moderate intensity, scale 13 on the Subjective Effort Perception, and 5′
for high intensity, in the scale 15. For balance evaluation we used the sit and stand
test. Multiple comparisons were made using Fisher‘s least significant difference method.
Nonparametric Kruscal-Wallis test was also performed and a significance level of p < 0.05
was used for all tests.
Results: There was an improvement in the balance at moderate intensity (pre 4.9 ± 2.0
versus post 6.2 ± 2.2 p = 0.04) and at high intensity (pre 3.7 ± 2.6 vs. post 5.0 ± 2.6
p = 0.03).
Conclusion: The physical training used in this study was effective in improving the
balance of elderly with type 2 diabetes.

In the 30-week LixiLan-L trial, LixiLan, a novel titratable fixed-ratio combination
of insulin glargine (Gla-100) and GLP-1RA lixisenatide, showed superior glycemic control
over Gla-100 alone, both optimized to FPG 80–100 mg/dL (maximum 60 U/day), in patients
with T2DM inadequately controlled on basal insulin ± ≤ 2 oral drugs. In this post
hoc analysis, safety and efficacy of LixiLan were evaluated in final dose categories
of Gla-100 (both groups) and lixisenatide (LixiLan group). At week 30 (study end),
reductions in HbA1c and proportions of responders achieving HbA1c < 7% were similar
across dose categories. Across all dose levels, LixiLan induced body weight loss or
prevented weight gain. Incidence of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (SMPG ≤ 70 mg/dL)
was numerically higher in patients receiving final Gla-100 dose < 30 U vs. those receiving ≥ 30 U.
This is also shown by final lixisenatide dose level. Incidence of nausea was low in
the LixiLan group (Table), potentially due to slow increase of lixisenatide component
in the combination. Efficacy and safety of LixiLan were generally consistent across
final dose categories of its Gla-100 and lixisenatide components and consistent with
overall treatment groups. These results support clinically based dose titration of
a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine and lixisenatide. Study code: NCT02058160.

Introduction: The efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) has
been demonstrated in patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on several treatments.
Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of Ideglira in A1c reduction from baseline
as compared to basal-bolus insulin therapy.
Methods: 26-week open-label trial comparing Ideglira with Basal-bolus insulin therapy
in type 2 diabetes.
Results: 506 patients (pts) with T2D uncontrolled on metformin and 20–50 units (U)
of insulin glargine U100 (IGlar) were randomized 1:1 to IDegLira or BB therapy (IGlar + insulin
aspart up to 4 times a day). Mean A1C decreased from 8.2% at baseline to 6.7% at end
of trial in both arms; non-inferiority (by < 0.3%) for IDegLira was confirmed (p < 0.0001;
Table). A similar proportion of pts achieved A1C targets with IDegLira vs BB (66.0%
vs 67.0% for < 7%/49.6% vs 44.6% for ≤ 6.5% respectively). Total daily insulin dose
was lower for IDegLira (40.4 U) vs BB (84.1 U) (p < 0.0001). Body weight decreased
with IDegLira and increased with BB (p < 0.0001); the rate of hypoglycemic episodes
(HEs) was lower with IDegLira vs BB (p < 0.0001). More pts achieved a triple composite
endpoint (A1C < 7% with no HE in the last 12 weeks and no weight gain) with IDegLira
vs BB (38.2% vs 6.4%; odds ratio 10.39 [5.76; 18.75] p < 0.0001). Mean pre- to postprandial
plasma glucose increment decreased more with BB vs IDegLira (p = 0.0032). SF-36 (mental
component summary) and TRIM-D (total scores) improved more with IDegLira vs BB (p = 0.0074
and p < 0.0001 respectively). Adverse event rates were similar.
Conclusion: In conclusion, in pts with A1C > 7% on metformin and IGlar, IDegLira vs
BB resulted in similar A1C reductions, lower insulin dose, weight loss and lower risk
of HEs (Fig. 1).

Background: Carbohydrate counting (CC) is considered the nutritional therapy of choice
for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), since it allows greater food flexibility
and adjustment of insulin treatment as intake. However, it is a strategy little used
in the public health service because there are very few specialized team, resources
and appointments times for the correct training of the therapy. Since 1970, teaching
people in groups has been an effective intervention for diabetes education.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of nutritional education groups for the treatment
of CC in patients with T1DM from a public referral service in Belo Horizonte, Minas
Gerais, Brazil.
Methods: Forty-one adult patients underwent to a group nutritional education program
with 3 meetings: 1st healthy eating and introduction to the CC; 2nd CC for extra snacks
or substitutions; 3rd full CC (at all meals with food amount required). The evolution
to this stage was made based on an evaluation of the 24-h food recall, with quantification
of carbohydrate grams by nutritionists, and insulin/carbohydrate ratio prescribed
by endocrinologists. In addition, this evolution was the patients’ free choice because
they felt or not safe. A fourth meeting was held for patients with doubts about the
progression to full CC. A 3-day food record with the quantification of carbohydrate
grams per meal, together with glycemic control, was requested after beginning the
therapy. The study was approved by Institution’s Ethics Board, approval number 1.064.985
and written consent was obtained from all participants.
Results: The sample consisted of 66% women, ages 39.8 ± 16.4 years old, with incomplete
elementary school and complete high school education (24.4 and 36.6%, respectively).
49% of the patients evolved for the full carbohydrate counting treatment (3rd meeting),
with observation in 51% of the participants not learning the therapy, or of their
own choice in not counting the carbohydrates daily, maintaining fixed dose of food
amount. Lower schooling (r2 = 0.34, p < 0.001) and advanced age (r2 = 0.45, p < 0.001)
showed a positive correlation with non-evolution for full therapy, being independent
of gender (p 0.91).
Conclusion: The carbohydrate counting groups were effective for patients with T1DM
of a public service, with optimization of time and greater involvement of patients
in the discussions. However, low schooling and older age are barriers to the broader
choice of therapy.

Background: Carbohydrate counting are indicated for patients with type 1 diabetes
mellitus as an effective strategy in optimizing food intake and should be inserted
in the context of healthy eating. There is a lack of instruments adapted to the Brazilian
population to evaluate the adherence to healthy eating by patients who use this nutritional
therapy.
Objective: To elaborate and adapt culturally the instrument of evaluation of adherence
to healthy diet in carbohydrate counting (TAHC).
Methods: Methodological study, including three steps: First: Preparation of the instrument,
based on national and international guidelines for diabetes and nutrition, followed
by the evaluation of a committee of experts, composed of endocrinologists, nutritionists,
linguists, and statisticians-Version 1 (V1). Second: The V1 was sent, via an e-survey
platform, to the judges committee of nutritionists and endocrinologists experienced
in carbohydrate counting, where the clarity and relevance of the questions were evaluated
for each item of the instrument. Based on this evaluation, the Content Validity Index
(IVC) and the percentage of acceptance of the judges were calculated in relation to
the adequacy of the evaluated items, with changes generating the version (V2). Third
(pre-test); With the participation of 20 individuals with type 1 diabetes with more
than 12 years of age, with changes and adaptations generating version 3 (V3). After
each phase described, an interdisciplinary meeting was held by researchers and the
committee of experts evaluated the suggestions. At all stages, the methodology followed
the recommendations established in the literature and for each problem identified,
improvements were suggested, and changes were made.
Results: The V1 of the instrument presented a good agreement among the Judges Committee,
with a valid content index of 0.954, being considered appropriate the value ≥ 0.78
for new instruments (Table 1).
Conclusion: It is considered that the TAHC instrument is culturally appropriate to
evaluate the adherence to a healthy diet in the carbohydrate counting, which goes
into the validation process. Ethics Approval The study was approved by Santa Casa
of Belo Horizonte Institution’s Ethics Board, approval number 1.962.869 and consent
was obtained from all participants (Fig. 1).

M.C.F., a 56 year-old female, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) at 22 years old,
using insulin for 22 years. Eight years ago, she started to present frequent episodes
of symptomatic hypoglycemia, preferably in fasting periods. There was no cessation
of the episodes even with the suspension of all insulin and antidiabetic drugs, which
lead to an investigation with a prolonged fasting test (Table 1). The test confirmed
endogenous hyperinsulinism (EH). Endoscopic ultrasound and abdominal magnetic resonance
imaging showed no masses. She was then submitted to a selective arterial calcium stimulation
test (SACST), whose results excluded insulinoma. Acarbose was prescribed 2 years ago,
with no improvement. Verapamil (80 mg/day) was initiated along with dietary changes,
with good response.
Discussion: In the presence of hypoglycemia and serum levels of nonsuppressed insulin/C-peptide,
rare causes such as pancreatic beta (β) cell disease and autoimmune hypoglycemia should
be excluded. EH is confirmed by the prolonged fasting test through the findings: glycemia < 55 mg/dL
with symptoms, associated with insulinemia ≥ 3 IU/mL, peptide C ≥ 0.60 ng/mL, proinsulin ≥ 5 pmol/L.
In adults, the main cause is insulinoma, but when a mass is not identified, the diagnosis
of non-insulinoma pancreatogenic hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) should be considered.
NIPHS is a hyperfunctional pancreatic disorder characterized by the diffuse involvement
of islets with nesidioblastosis. Its incidence in patients with previous T2DM is rare,
with only 4 cases being documented. In these cases, T2DM can be reversed by dysfunctioning
hypertrophic β cells, which is a reactive process to the destruction of β cells or
existing functional failure in diabetic patients, leading to hypoglycemia and confirmed
by the prolonged fasting test. The diagnosis is established by exclusion of insulinoma
and histopathological and immunohistochemical findings in the pancreas. Patients with
EH with inconclusive noninvasive imaging are candidates to perform SACST, which is
important for the therapeutic definition. Treatment consists of dietary changes, medications
and, in refractory cases, surgery. Surgical extension should be evaluated to avoid
recurrence of hypoglycemia and, at the same time, the risk of exocrine and endocrine
complications.
Final comments: We illustrate a rare case of EH after discontinuation of insulin therapy
in a long-term T2DM patient. Verapamil blocks the β-cell membrane, inhibiting insulin
secretion. The treatment improves quality of life and possibly reducts mortality.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of death in critically ill patients treated
in an intensive care unit (ICU). According to the new consensus of 2016, sepsis is
defined as “the presence of life-threatening organic dysfunction secondary to the
body‘s unregulated response to infection”. Being the infectious process—infectious
agent—the main question that, in itself, is able to injure tissues and lead to death.
Both inflammation and immunosuppression are present as part of the response to the
microorganism.1 Around the world every 6 s a person dies as a result of diabetes or
its complications, with an average of 5 million deaths a year. In 2015, in Brazil,
there were 130,000 adult deaths, in the age group of 20–79 years, due to complications
of DM.2 We know that infections are among the main causes of diabetes mellitus decompensation,
altering the metabolic control of the diabetic patient. Once the infectious process
is installed, with the possible worsening of the metabolic control we will have a
patient at risk and more susceptible to sepsis. 3 While infection is suspected, cultures
should be obtained in the relevant foci, since they are the most important sources
of information for the investigation of hospital infection and correct and effective
treatment of the etiological agent.3
Objective: To determine the epidemiological profile of infections of septic patients
treated in the ICU.
Methodology: Cross-sectional study through 1623 antibiograms collected from diabetic
patients admitted to ICUs that met criteria for SIRS/SEPSE between January 2014 and
March 2017. Six sites were considered susceptible to infection (pulmonary, urinary,
operative wound, catheter tip, blood and drained liquids), and the prevalences for
each one were analyzed, as well as the registry of the most frequent microorganisms.
Results: A total of 387 patients (83.2% DM2) were studied, with an average length
of hospital stay of 27 days, mean hospital infection rate of 44.8%, and mortality
rate of 23.5%. Infection prevalence rates for each site were as follows: 32.5% respiratory,
27.8% urinary, 22.1% surgical wound, 7.8% catheter tip, 5.5% secretions/fluids drained,
4,3% blood.
Conclusion: The growth of microorganisms in culture does not guarantee that they have
a pathogenic role, and it is fundamental to recognize the most probable pathogens
that affect the diabetic population and to disseminate it periodically, since the
local epidemiological profile leads to the rationalization of the use of antibiotics,
avoiding excessive spectrum, which predisposes to infections caused by multiresistant
germs and fungi. However, the prevalence and mortality rates found in our study were
extremely high, making it essential to prevent diabetes-associated infections through
adequate metabolic control and specific preventive measures for each primary site
of infection (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia,
due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency. It can present acute complications:
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), which are
potentially fatal if not promptly treated. DKA is characterized by hyperglycemia > 250 mg/dl,
ketonemia or ketonuria and metabolic acidosis. HHS is characterized by hyperglycemia > 600 mg/dl,
pH > 7.3, serum osmolality > 320 mOsm/kg. The identification of triggering factors
may aid in the prevention of hyperglycemic crises.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to trace the epidemiological profile of
patients treated with hyperglycemic crises (DKA and HHS) in a tertiary hospital, seeking
to identify the main triggering factors. Search.
Methods: Medical data records from patients admitted to the Medical Clinic Sector
of a Tertiary Hospital with diagnosis of acute hyperglycemic crisis (DKA or HHS) after
implantation of Endocrinology Reference Service at the same hospital from February
to July 2017 Preliminary.
Results: In the first 6 months of the Endocrinology Reference Service, 13 patients
with acute hyperglycemic crisis (DKA or HHS) were treated. Of the 13 patients treated,
only 1 had the diagnosis of HHS and the others had DKA. The average age of the patients
was 37.45 years. The HHS patient was 67 years old, while the age of patients with
DKA ranged from 14 to 59 years. The patient with HHs was male. Among patients with
DKA, 84% were female and 16% male. The glycated hemoglobin average (HbA1c) was 12.67%.
The patient with HHS had 13.3% HbA1c while patients with DKA ranged from 8.9 to 16.9%.
The HHS patient had DM type 2. Among the patients with CAD, 1/3 had the diagnosis
of DM type 1, 1/3 had the diagnosis of DM2 and in 1/3 it was done presumptive diagnosis
of LADA. At the time, it was not possible to dose anti-GAD for confirmation. In 11
of the 13 patients treated, an infectious cause was observed as a factor of decompensation,
with pyelonephritis being the most frequent.
Conclusion: DKA can affect both DM1 and DM2 patients, but it is more common in patients
with DM1. The incidence of DKA is higher than that of HHS. The main triggering factor
are episodes of bacterial infection, notably urinary tract infections.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: The prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is associated
with increased risk factors such as advanced age, overweight, obesity, excessive weight
gain in pregnancy and family history of diabetes in first-degree relatives.
Objective: To characterize epidemiologically and clinically pregnant women with GDM
accompanied in the Endocrinology department of a University Hospital.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study with 83 pregnant women
with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) attended from February 2016 to April 2017.
Data collected from charts and statistical analysis performed using Excel. Variables
studied: age, gestational age at the first visit, BMI, gestational weight gain at
the first visit, family and personal history of diabetes, previous and current obstetric
conditions, other associated conditions and treatment.
Results: At the first visit, the mean age was 31 years; the mean gestational age 28 weeks;
35.29% were overweight and 36.76% were obese; 6.02% presented alterations in the current
gestation. Associated conditions were hypothyroidism (45.16%), chronic hypertension
(29.03%) and hypertensive disorder during pregnancy (16.13%). Only 36.4% had previous
obstetric complications such as macrosomia and abortion; 62.7% were multiparous; 44.58%
had a positive family history for Diabetes Mellitus and 2.41% had family history of
GDM. The diagnostic test used was oral glucose tolerance test in 79.52% of the cases
and fasting plasma glucose in 20.48%. The diagnosis of GDM was given in the first
trimester in 16.87% of patients, 43.37% in the second trimester and 39.76% in the
third trimester. The goals of weight gain during pregnancy were exceeded in 20.83%
of overweight pregnant women at the first visit and in 11.11% of obese women. The
treatment established at the first consultation and subsequent consultations was,
respectively, dietary change (59.26, 40.28%), metformin (22.22; 18.06%), combination
of metformin and insulin (4.94, 12.50%) and insulin alone (13.58, 29.17%).
Discussion: The population had a late arrival at the service and frequent weight changes.
The most frequent initial treatment was dietary change, achieving good control in
68% of the cases.
Conclusion: The choice of monotherapy with metformin decreased throughout pregnancy,
but it proved to be a good option when in combination with insulin at more advanced
gestational ages due to better control of insulin resistance.

Introduction: According to the IADPSG and WHO criteria, the presence of fasting glucose
(FG) ≥ 92 and < 126 mg/dL at any time during pregnancy is diagnostic of gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, there are few studies with pregnant women diagnosed
by this method in the first trimester.
Objective: To evaluate epidemiological profile of pregnant women diagnosed with GDM
by FG ≥ 92 and < 100 mg/dL in 1st trimester.
Method: Observational study, with pregnant women attended at the prenatal care of
Maternidade Escola (ME) of UFRJ, between 11/2016 and 07/2017, with 1st trimester FG ≥ 92
and < 100 mg/dL (cases) or < 92 mg/dL (controls). Exclusion criteria were those with
permanent DM, GDM already under treatment, multiple gestation or bariatric surgery.
Those with FG ≥ 92 mg/dL performed a 2nd FG to confirm GDM. They were divided in 3
groups: 1 (2 FG ≥ 92 mg/dL-GDM confirmed), 2 (only the 1st FG ≥ 92 mg/dL-GDM not confirmed)
and 3 (FG < 92 mg/dL-control). A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (used
in ME) and physical activity questionnaire (short IPAQ) were applied. Other data were
collected in medical records. G2 and G3 pregnant women perform oral glucosetolerance
test (75-g OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks. The analysis was done in EPI INFO and p
value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: 64 pregnant women were interviewed, with the following results [consecutively
exposed by groups 1 (n = 20), 2 (n = 28) and 3 (n = 16): mean of 1st FG 95.6 (± 2,7),
94.7 (± 2.1) and 84.7 (± 3.6)mg/dL; of 2nd FG (G1 and G2 only) 97.0 (± 4.6) and 84.1
(± 5.4)mg/dL; age 29.8 (± 7.3), 27.3 (± 6.6) and 27.3 (± 6.1) years; BMI 29.6 (± 0.2),
26.1 (± 5.4) and 29.5 (± 5.2)kg/m2; median TEV 1570 (766–3986), 1620 (687–5669) and
1841 (1190–3164) kcal/day. Frequency analysis showed that 45, 54 and 37% were nonwhite;
90, 86 and 87% had > 8 years of study; 75, 82 and 75% were active or irregularly activeA;
18, 7 and 0% had history of GDM; 40, 18 and 25% were chronic hypertensive; 35, 39
and 19% had family history of DM. The OGTT was performed in 19 pregnant women from
G2 and 8 from G3, with averages FG 85.7 and 78.9 mg/dL, with statistical significance
(p < 0.01). The comparison of other variables did not present significance, except
for the BMI between group 1 and 2 (p = 0.04).
Conclusion: No demographic differences were found between groups, except for the presence
of higher BMI in Group1 (xG2). This suggests that the probability of confirming an
altered FG is greater in those with a higher BMI.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic problem of pregnancy.
The most frequent presentation is gestational DM (GDM), which estimated prevalence
varies between 3 and 25% of pregnancies, depending on the population and the diagnostic
criteria used. The others are represented mainly by pre-gestational DM1 and DM2. Due
to the importance of the issue, the screening and identification of maternal hyperglycemia,
as well as the knowledge about the epidemiological profile of the patients, are fundamental
for the adequate management and reduction of undesirable maternal–fetal outcomes.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological,
clinical and obstetric characteristics of patients diagnosed with DM accompanied at
the State Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Luiz Capriglione (IEDE).
Methodology: It was a retrospective observational study. A sample of 100 patients
from IEDE or referred by the National System of Regulation (SISREG) was analyzed.
Inclusion criteria were newly or previous diagnosis of DM and, at least a prenatal
and postnatal evaluation. Exclusion criteria were lost of follow-up and co morbidities
that could influence at the metabolic parameters.
Results: The majority of IEDE patients had DM1, were younger, had a longer time to
diagnose DM, had a higher rate of chronic microvascular complications, more previous
pregnancies with fetal macrosomia, used higher doses of insulin during pregnancy and
the time of delivery was earlier. Those from SISREG were mostly diagnosed with GDM
and had a higher pre-gestational Body Mass Index (BMI). Both groups had mean pre-gestational
hemoglobin (HgA1c) and in each trimester, but after delivery, the HgA1c of patients
from the SISREG was lower than the IEDE patients (Table 1). 55% of the patients presented
undesirable maternal–fetal outcomes, despite the better glycemic control during pregnancy,
with preterm birth being the most frequent (Table 2). We found no correlation between
pre-gestational HgA1c and throughout the trimesters with the height and weight of
the newborn or gestational age at delivery.
Conclusion: Inadequate glycemic control in pregnant women with DM is a high risk factor
for undesired maternal–fetal outcomes. Preventive measures and appropriate treatment
before conception, both in those with risk factors for GDM, and in those diagnosed
with DM, constitute the mainstay for changing this scenario (Figs. 1, 2).

Introduction: Misinformation about the correct techniques for self-application of
insulin is a constant and the consequences are of great concern, since incorrect application
results in substantial changes in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of insulin.
Purpose: To evaluate quantitatively the various mistakes made by young people in the
self-application of insulin.
Method: Observational study, performed at a reference center for diabetes care in
the Unified Health System, located in Porto Alegre. The youngsters answered a specific
questionnaire about self-administered insulin practices, with a practical demonstration
of the aspiration and insulin self-injection technique.
Results: The sample consisted of 20 insulinized adolescents older than 6 months, of
both sexes, from 6 to 20 years of age, with type 1 diabetes. A high percentage of
errors were observed during aspiration of the prescribed doses of insulin with the
use of and 100 UI syringes, ranging from 50 to 60% of incorrect doses. However, using
30 and 50UI syringes, a significant reduction of errors was observed, varying from
0 to 5% of correct doses. This can be explained by the fact that young people do not
use 100 UI syringes in their daily lives, only having contact with this type of syringe
in the study. The application rotation technique was considered inadequate in 30%
of the young and 10% of them did not perform it, which can cause the development of
complications in the application sites; the skin fold was not performed in 15% of
the young, which increases the risk of intramuscular injection and ineffective metabolic
control. The presence of lipodystrophy was found in 50% of the young.
Conclusion: Significant errors were observed, showing a very worrying situation that
could compromise the success of the treatment of type 1 diabetes totally dependent
on insulin, especially with the use of the 100 UI syringe for application, when the
guidance on the graduation scale of material of unusual use is not realized. There
is, therefore, an immediate need for implementation of effective and continuous educational
strategies, which provide the young diabetic and their family the knowledge necessary
to reduce the potential risks of insulin self-injection.
Ethics approval: The study was approved by UNIFESP’s Ethics Board, approval number
1698/11. Informed consent was obtained from all patients this study.

Background: Proper management of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients
can reduce complications and inpatient length of stay. Investments are necessary and
institutional support is essential.
Aims: To estimate the consumption and reimbursement related to point-of-care blood
glucose test strips (TS) after implementation of a Hospital Glycemic Control Commitee
(GCC) as a form of pre-implementation planning in a hospital.
Methods: In a teaching Hospital, Salvador, Bahia, we evaluated the number of inpatient
admissions between 01/2016 and 07/2017, TS performed at admission and during the first
24 h and the reimbursed blood glucose test strips. Data related to consumption of
blood glucose test strips and blood glucose test results were collected from medical
account department and electronic medical health records, respectively. We estimated
implementation costs of a GCC only considering the monitoring of blood glucose, consumption
of TS and exchange of previous glucose meters for equipments in accordance with RDC302.
The estimate of use of TS considered the blood glucose tests performed in accordance
with national guideline recomendations: blood glucose test in more than 90% of admitted
patients, inpatient hyperglycemia prevalence of 35%, repetition of, at least, one
blood glucose for confirmation and four blood glucose tests for monitoring in the
first 24 h in those who tested positive at screening.
Results: The hospital has 492 beds and, in the study period, there were 37,624 hospitalizations,
averaging 1985 hospitalizations per month. A total of 361,345 blood glucose tests
had been performed in the study period. Glycemia screening was realized in 13,574
patients (4%) and most tests occurred within the first 24 h of hospital admission
(54%). Considering the average monthly reimbursement of 21,560 test strips, the screening
test would consume 842 test strips, with 469 in the first 24 h. The goal, after GCC
implementation will be performing glycemia screening on admission in more than 90%,
which will result, considering monthly hospital admission, in a consumption of 1786
TS for glycemia screening, 625 TS for confirmation of positive cases (prevalence of
35% of in hospital hyperglycemia) and 2500 TS for monitoring positive cases in the
first 24 h (Table 1). The cost of a single previous point-of-care blood glucose test
strip was R$ 0.82 and would be R$ 1.48, and the reimbursement from supplementary health
system was R$ 42.50 and would be R$ 48.50. We estimated that following glycemic protocol
at admission and monitoring blood glucose in the first 24 h will increase test strips
consumption (21,560–26,472) and the monthly reimbursement related to test strips in
22.8%.
Conclusion: Implementation of GCC is therefore likely to increase the reimbursement
and consumption of test strips in the first 24 h for the hospital (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has its origin related to
two highly prevalent conditions in the world population: type-2 diabetes mellitus
(DM-2) and obesity; it can present itself as hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis
(NASH)—which can evolve to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Some studies estimated
that this disease will be the major cause of liver transplant in 2020.
Objective: To analyze the application of score systems that estimate liver fibrosis
in diabetic patients candidate to bariatric surgery who presented hepatic steatosis
in abdominal ultrasound.
Methods: This study was approved by Hospital Santa Marcelina’s Ethic Board (n. 06545/17),
and was based on the review of patient files attended in Hospital Santa Marcelina’s
Endocrinology service between September/2009 and April/2017. Criteria for inclusion
were: type-2 diabetic individuals who presented NASH in abdominal ultrasound; and
who had registered levels of HbA1c, AST, ALT, platelets and serum albumin. Anthropometric
and laboratorial data were registered in our research protocol and submitted to descriptive
statistical analysis. Posteriorly, each patient had their liver fibrosis levels esteemed
through three scores: • BARD: Results ≥ 2 = F3–F4, with negative predictive values
of 97%. • NAFLD: Results < − 1455 = Metavir F0 (no fibrosis), F1 (minimal fibrosis)
or F2 (moderate fibrosis); values > 0675 = Metavir F3 (advanced fibrosis) and F4 (liver
fibrosis); intermediary levels = undetermined fibrosis. • FIB-4: Values < 1.3 = F0–F1; > 2.67 = F3–F4;
intermediary levels = undetermined fibrosis.
Results: 43 patients were analyzed, being 88% female; their data (mean values and
stardard deviation) were: age 44 ± 10.6 years; BMI 47.4 ± 6.6 kg/m2; HbA1c: 6.45 ± 0.72%;
AST: 21.7 ± 17 U/L; ALT 21.5 ± 9.1 U/L; platelets 253.326 ± 63.196; and serum albumin
4.25 ± 0.4 U/L. Mean BARD score was 2.67 ± 0.47, estimating fibrosis in all patients.
Mean NAFLD was 0.56 ± 1.33, assessing advanced fibrosis in 41.8% of the sample, and
55.8% with fibrosis of indeterminate levels. Mean FIB-4 was 0.85 ± 0.53, implying
2.32% of the patients with advanced fibrosis and 6.99% with undetermined results.
Conclusion: None of the analyzed scores presented valid individual specificity or
sensibility to estimate liver fibrosis in obese diabetic patients, having more value
as negative predictive tests. This fact, allied with the lack of clinical-laboratorial
manifestations of the disease, denote that its suspicion levels must be high when
studying this group of patients—and that it must be tracked very early, even before
transaminases become elevated. Informed consent to publish has been obtained from
all 43 patients.

Dapaglifozin (Farxiga; Aztrazeneca) is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes by inhibiting
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2), increasing urinary glucose excretion and
lowering plasma glucose, which may improve the glycemic control. Some cases of eDKA
have been associated with others SGLT2 s inhibitors, like empaglifozin and canaglifozin,
but there are few cases reported of eDKA associated with dapaglifozin. Here, we report
one of them. A 47-year-old overweight man (BMI 37.4 kg/m2) with a 9-year history of
type 2 diabetes had been taking metformin (1 g/day), glyburide (10 mg/day) and vildaglipitin
(100 mg/day) for 7 years. He was admitted for elective bariatric surgery and stopped
his medications a day before. He did well postoperatively and started to use dapaglifozin
after 5 days of surgery. Within 48 h using dapaglifozin, he was readmitted with prostration,
nausea and hyperventilation. Laboratory showed glucose of 165 mg/dl,; bicarbonate,
5 mEq/L; arterial pH, 7.23 and serum sodium of 141 mmol/L. Venous lactate was normal.
The endocrinology team were consulted, and started to treat him with intravenous insulin
and fluids. After 24 h, new laboratory evaluation showed glucose of 185 mg/dl; bicarbonate
17.5 mEq/L and arterial pH, 7.49, meaning clinical improvement. His anti-glutamic
acid decarboxylase was negative and he had a normal C-peptide (1.98 ng/ml). As eDKA
has been reported in other studies with others SGLT-2 inhibitors, it is concluded
to be an adverse event of this drug class. To be aware that DKA can occur in euglycemia
is important to avoid this serious complication of diabetes. It is known that there
are some factors that contribute for DKA, like decreasing in-carbohydrate intake,
infection or reduction of insulin therapy. Therefore, in circumstances listed, patients
should consider interruption of SGLT-2 inhibitors at least 24 h prior an elective
surgery, like the case reported, or immediately if any extreme stress event. Also,
the patient should contact an endocrinologist for better instructions or even go to
an ER if there are symptoms related to DKA like nausea, vomiting, weakness, headache
or hyperventilation. We would like to suggest in cases like the one reported, which
there were lower carb intake beyond the surgery, to not continue the medication after
this kind of surgery.

Introduction: As a measure which consists of the pre-prandial insulin adjustment according
to the amount of consumed carbohydrate, carbohydrate counting is important to the
success of the nutritional therapy of type 1 diabetes mellitus treatment, due to the
close correlation between carbohydrate consumption and blood glucose concentration.
This method is made possible by blood glucose self-monitoring, for it allows the possibility
of self adjusting the insulin dose according to the pre-prandial blood glucose values.
Therefore, it is important for patient to be able to understand the information obtained
in blood glucose monitoring and be capable of taking the correct action to achieve
the treatment goal.
Objective: To evaluate the blood glucose monitoring habits in a group of type 1 diabetes
mellitus patients attended in secondary health service.
Methods: Cross-sectional study, descriptive, with convenience sample of type 1 diabetes
mellitus patients enrolled in the blood glucose monitoring program during the period
of 2016 and 2017 in a secondary referral service in the state of Ceará. Data was collected
by means of questionnaires applied with patients present for outpatient care during
the period of the research.
Results: In the 95 type 1 diabetes mellitus patients sample, with mean age of 17 years
old, 60.2% females and 67% with 1 to 5 years of diagnose, we observed that 35.1% of
the patients were doing carbohydrate counting, of which 68.24% are treated with insulin
analogues, in the basal-bolus scheme. Also, 98.2% of the sample were monitoring blood
glucose daily, 97.3% of it were doing it in fasting, while only 16.22% were doing
postprandial, 20.59% were doing more than four times a day. Furthermore, 45.5% of
all patients could not tell the adequate objective of postprandial blood glucose measurement.
Patients distribution according to their behavior and knowledge about the blood glucose
monitoring. Patients doing carbohydrate counting 35.1% Patients monitoring blood glucose
daily 98.2% Patients monitoring in fasting blood glucose daily 97.3% Patients monitoring
postprandial blood glucose daily 16.22% Patients who could tell the adequate objective
of postprandial blood glucose measurement 54.5%.
Conclusion: The adherence to the carbohydrate counting technique was observed in one-third
of the patients evaluated. The postprandial glucose control was evaluated by the minority
of the group, and some of them are not aware of the normal glucose range, which greatly
compromises the efficacy of the method. Although we know that the availability of
the supplies for capillary blood glucose monitoring is an important limiting factor
to the method, we also consider that the ability to understand the process limits
the proper use and compromises the treatment outcome. Ethics Approval: The study was
approved by Centro Universitário Christus – UNICHRISTUS Institution’s Ethics Board,
approval number 5049.

Introduction: This is the result of a nursing extension project at a university in
the far south of the state of Santa Catarina, the main objective of this project was
evaluate the lesions and amputations observed in diabetes patients registered in a
self monitoring blood glucose analysis program the municipality of Criciúma/SC, this
program being a partnership between the Municipal Health Department and the University.
The program is performed by the nursing course at UNESC and all procedures are made
by multiprofissional team.
Materials and methods: It is a qualitative and quantitative project developed at Integrated
Clinics at UNESC by students, professional and nursing residents. Work followed the
rules of Ethical Committee of the university and was approved by protocol: (07160612.5.0000.0119/2012).
The selection of the people of Blood Glucose Selfmonitoring program randomly occurred
as the criteria for inclusion: be a diabetes patient, 18 years or older, agree to
participate of the study. In November 2016, a campaign was developed was a continuous
evaluation are still being offered until now. Specific equipments were used to analyse
the feet‘s lesions as well as monofilament, tuning fork and goniometer. Data were
analysed using Student T test and considered significant when p < 0.05. Qualitative
data was analysed by the content analysis method proposed by Minayo.
Discussion and results: 133 patients were evaluated, age in between 59 and 88 years-old.
91% of them were DM2 and 92% are insulin-dependent. 11% have already had ulcers and
amputation. A Student T test showed significative data when the injury, cracks, calluses,
nail perfusion, temperature, staining, deformities, skin turgor, moisture/hydration
and plantar pressure with the risk rating was related as risks factors.
Conclusion: Considering the higher levels of comorbities in this population, it’s
importante have promotions programs to prevent and evaluate risks of injury and amputation.

Introduction: Health fairs in basic health care units can be an important strategy
to enable the screening of individuals with DM (Diabetes Mellitus), as well as an
assessment of previously diagnosed patients that are uncontrolled. The objective of
this study was to describe the proportion of individuals without previous diagnosis
or with self-reported DM, identified in health fairs with altered glycated hemoglobin
(HbA1c).
Methods: This research was conducted as part of the HealthRise project. Five health
fairs were held in areas with family health strategy coverage in the city of Vitória
da Conquista, Bahia, from April to July 2017. Community health agents delivered invitations
to patients with DM and their families. There were also announcements on local radio.
At the health fairs, questionnaires with demographic data and self-reported DM diagnosis
were applied, capillary blood glucose test and blood collection for glycated hemoglobin
(HbA1c) measurements were performed. The latter is for individuals with capillary
blood glucose > 100 mg/dL (fasting) or 140 mg/dL (non-fasting). Samples were sent
to a clinical laboratory. Individuals without a DM diagnosis with HbA1c values ≥ 6.5%
were later referred for another measurement and medical assessment. Uncontrolled patients
were those with a diagnosis of DM and HbA1c > 7% (adults) and > 8.5% (elderly). Data
was analyzed through descriptive statistics. This study was approved by the “Universidade
Federal da Bahia – Instituto Multidisciplinar em Saúde” Ethics Board, approval number
1.861.073, and was funded by the Medtronic Foundation.
Results: Among the 151 patients whose HbA1c results had already been released by the
laboratory, 110 (72.8%) were female and 89 (58.9%) were older adults. 36 (23.8%) of
the patients had no previous diagnosis of DM, of which 6 (16.7%) presented HbA1c ≥ 6.5%.
Between 115 patients with self-reported DM, 46 (40%) had uncontrolled HbA1c, according
to the study criteria.
Conclusions: A high proportion of people with uncontrolled DM was found. The strategy
of DM screening at health fairs proved to be a viable alternative to identify possible
new cases.

Introduction: The change in the way of life, including adaptation nutricional and
exercise, is the key in the handling of the DMG and in the prevention of the DM2 4 years
after the childbirth.
Objective: Value the profile nutricional and metabolic of women with DMG, in the gestation
and 4 years after the childbirth, and to associate to risk of hiperglicemia after
the childbirth.
Method: Cohort that valued 65 women with DMG at the gestation and 47 of these quatros
years after the childbirth. The food consumption was valued for recordatório of 24 h
and questionnaire of frequency food and qualified by the software Avanutri. Rate of
Physical Mass (IMC), pleat cutaneous tricipital (PCT), muscular circumference of the
arm (CMB) and levels of glicemia, of fast and 2 h—prandial, hemoglobin glicada (HbA1c),
total cholesterol and fractions and triglicerídeos were valued and been associated
by them to the disorders risk hiperglicêmicas 4 years after the childbirth. In the
statistical analysis there was used test of the qui-square or right one of Fisher
and calculation of odds ratio (OR) and interval of confidence to 95%, with p < 0.05.
Results: Most of the women presented unsuitable caloric ingestion and food consumption,
in the gestation and 4 years after the childbirth. In the avalição carried out after
the childbirth, there were observed bigger values IMC and PCT (p = 0.028) and, juveniles,
of CMB (p < 0,001), with bigger proportion of HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, (p = 0.007) and HDL < 50 mg/dL
(p < 0.001). In this period, the IMC-gestacional ≥ 25 kg/m2 showed OR of 4583 up (1189;
17,675) for Intolerance to the glucose (14.9%) and DM2 (36.2%).
Conclusion: The food inadequacy characterized the women with DMG, in the gestation
and four years after the childbirth, with indicators of obesity and disorders glicêmicas
and metabolic in the period after the childbirth. Nevertheless, the IMC-gestacional ≥ 25 kg/m2
was the only factor associated to the risk of hiperglicemia 4 years after the childbirth.

Introduction: It is defined diabetes Melito Gestacional by diabetes when second was
diagnosed in or thirdly terms of the gestation, with world-wide predominance from
2 to 20%. This condition has motherly repercussions and fetais, in the gestation and
after, and type constitutes risk for Diabetes Melito 2, metabolic syndrome and disease
cardiovascular.
Objective I: Value the profile nutricional of pregnant women with Diabetes Melito
Gestacional, considering macro and microelements, in the gestation and in the period
of 4 years after the childbirth, and it will connect this profile with markers of
metabolic syndrome, controls glicêmico, I hurt of the newborn baby and incident of
intolerance the glucose and Diabetes Melito type 2 after the gestation.
Method: Study of cohort that included 65 pregnant women with Diabetes Melitos Gestacional.
Between the motherly variables, the indicators were analysed antropométricos and of
markers of metabolic syndrome and control glicêmico. In the statistical analysis the
next tests were employed—Qui-Square of Pearson,—paramétricos of Wilcoxon and McNemar,
for the dependent samples, calculation of odds ratio (OR) and IC 95%.
Resulted: In the period gestacional more than 70% of the pregnant women presented
inadequacy in the total energetic consumption and in the consumption of calcium, vitamin
D and magnesium; significant associations with markers of metabolic syndrome were
confirmed between unsuitable consumption of calcium and IMC ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p = 0.042);
of vitamin D and HDL-Cholesterol < 50 mg/dL (p = 0.018) and of zinc and glicemia of
fast ≥ 100 mg/dL (p = 0.036), besides magnesium and when were recently been born big
for the age (p = 0.016); the fibers consumption, besides unsuitable in the gestation,
had significant reduction in the evaluation of 4 years after the childbirth (p = 0.047).
In the evaluation 4 years after the childbirth, the IMC and the measure of the cutaneous
pleat tricipital were bigger (p < 0.001; p = 0.028), with reduction in the measure
of the muscular circumference of the arm (p < 0.001). The fast glicemia (p = 0.008)
and the levels of HbA1c (p = 0.007) increased and the values of total cholesterol,
HDL-Cholesterol and triglicérides (p < 0.001) lessened in the evaluation of 4 years
after the childbirth. The IMC-gestacional ≥ 25 kg/m2 showed OR of 4583 (1189; 17,675)
for Intolerance to the glucose (14.9%) and DM2 (36.2%).
Conclusion: Significant associations were identified between the unsuitable consumption
of macro and micronutritious of the diet and markers of metabolic syndrome and of
the weight while being born, without association with markers of the control glicêmico
motherly.

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with a variety of diseases,
including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Due to its pleiotropic action, vitamin
D can regulates insulin secretion and immune-inflammatory response. Vitamin D receptor
(VDR) polymorphisms are involved in the gene expression regulation and have been associated
with T2DM and their microvascular complications.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms
ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), FokI (rs10735810), and TaqI (rs 731236) in the
VDR gene with T2DM, retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease occurrence, as well as 25-
hydroxivitamin D levels [25(OH)D].
Methods: We evaluated 101 patients with clinical and laboratorial diagnosis of T2DM
and 62 gender- and body mass index (BMI)-matched nondiabetic control. Molecular analyzes
were performed by PCR–RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction–Restriction Fragment Length
Polymorfism). 25(OH)D levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography.
Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS (version 17.0) using qui-square test
with residual analysis and Mann–Whitney test. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically
significant.
Results: The 25(OH)D levels were lower in T2DM patients [17.19 (18.26) ng/mL] when
compared with controls subjects [31.10 (14.97) ng/Ml—p < 0,0001]. We found no difference
between genotype and allele frequencies of the VDR polymorphisms when compared T2DM
and control groups (p > 0.05 for all). However, regarding microvascular complications,
diabetic kidney disease was associated with the GG genotype (p = 0.048) and G allele
(p = 0.015) of BsmI polymorphism.
Conclusions: These results suggest that BsmI polymorphism is associated with the development
of diabetic kidney disease in T2DM patients. Besides, T2DM patients exhibited lower
25(OH)D levels, which suggest its association with the disease. Acknowledgements:

Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 present higher risk of developing cardiovascular
diseases, which are the main causes of death in the world. Thus, we recommend evaluating
the cardiovascular risk of these people as an important strategy to conduct the therapeutic
plan. This was a cross-sectional study developed in a secondary care service from
February to June in 2016, including a sample of 81 individuals with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. We aimed to characterize the study sample regarding the sociodemographic
and clinic variables and to evaluate the cardiovascular risk according to Framingham
score. We collected data from individuals with type 2 diabetes and without history
of cardiovascular disease, using a structured form based on Framingham risk score
that estimates the cardiovascular risk in the following 10 years. The first part of
the instrument described the variables sex, age, race, marital status, educational
level, occupation and smoking habit, which the participants had reported, and the
second part contained the variables HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and blood pressure,
based on medical records. To calculate the risk of cardiovascular event, each variable
had a value and, based on the sum of these points, we estimated the cardiovascular
risk in low (less than 10%), medium (10 to 20%) and high (more than 20%). We analyzed
data using the descriptive statistics. We found that 82.8% of the sample were female,
23.5% were aged 55-59 years, 60.5% were married, 46.9% had not completed elementary
school and 69.2% were retired. 38.3% of the sample had high risk of developing cardiovascular
diseases in 10 years. In the categorization of the risk by sex, 38.9% of the female
population had high risk, whereas 35.7% of the male population was equally distributed
into low and highrisk categories. We found that the studied population is at risk
of developing cardiovascular diseases and, therefore, we have showed the importance
of optimizing prevention measurements and treatment to contribute to the decrease
of morbimortality in this group.

Background: Bariatric surgery is recommended to patients with morbid obesity, and
is also efficient to control and prevent associated diseases, such as diabetes mellitus
type-2 (DM-2). Past studies already showed that this procedure can reduce the incidence
of DM-2 in 80%, and almost 90% of diabetic patients presented short-term remission
of the disease. Weight loss can lead to improvement of insulinic sensibility and beta-cell
function; also, it contributes to better hormonal modulation (through incretins GLP-1
and GIP).
Objective: This study aims to analyze the efficiency of bariatric surgery in type-2
diabetic patients, and this disease’s remission after 6 months of the procedure.
Methods: This research was approved by Hospital Santa Marcelina’s Ethics Board (n.
06587/17), and was based on the comparison of two charts: diabetic patients before
bariatric surgery x after surgery. The data of each chart was retrieved through revision
of Hospital Santa Marcelina’s bariatric patient files, comparing the last medical
appointment before and the first one after the surgery. The sample was composed by
21 individuals; weight, BMI, obesity level, HbA1C, fasting glucose, use of oral hypoglycemic
agents or insulin and drugs to lose weight were studied. After the comparison between
charts, the data was submitted to descriptive statistical analysis.
Results: 90.4% of the 21 patients analyzed were female. The mean age of the group
was 49 ± 10.7 years. The patients had mean fasting glucose levels of 145.47 ± 41.74 mg/dL,
mean glycated hemoglobin of 7.55% ± 1.27, mean weight of 114.1 ± 25.03 kg and mean
BMI of 44.06 ± 6.46 kg/m2. 19 individuals used oral hypoglycemid drugs, and 8 were
insulin-dependent; there was only 1 patient who used only insulin. 6 months after
bariatric surgery, the mean fasting glucose levels were reduced to 117.4 ± 44.5 mg/dL;
mean HbA1C was 6.34% ± 1.33, mean weight was 91.8 ± 22.5 kg and mean BMI was 33.89 ± 6.66 kg/m2.
42.1% of the 19 patients using hypoglycemic drugs had their therapy reduced, and 55.6%
stopped using insulin. 19% of the patients achieved the 3 criteria for DM remission,
and 19% achieved 2 of them.
Conclusion: 6 months after surgery, 4 of the 21 patients achieved all the criteria
for DM remission (fasting glucose levels < 100 mg/dL, HbA1c < 5.7% and no necessity
for hypoglycemic drugs); also, 4 individuals achieved 2 of said criteria. Informed
consent to publish has been obtained from all 21 patients.

Introduction: In the hospital setting, diabetes increases hospitalization length,
exacerbates coexisting diseases and increases mortality. Hypoglycemia, as well as
hyperglycemia, is also a predictor of mortality.
Objective: Evaluate the clinical profile, incidence of hypoglycemia, including nocturnal
hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia as well as hospitalization length on inpatient
population under use of Degludeca plus Regular Insulin versus NPH plus Regular Insulin.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, randomized study to compare the efficacy and
safety of different basal insulin (Degludeca versus NPH), both on Basal-bolus insulin
regimen on inpatient population with diabetes. Data were collected from the medical
records, between May, 2016 until April, 2017. 8 patients were selected and randomized
in each group. We established optimal glycemic control for patients with capillary
glucose below 140 mg/dl in fasting and before main meals and below 180 mg/dL for 2 h
after main meals. The criteria for excellent glycemic control was to achieve at least
70% within the previously established target and for acceptable glycemic control,
those patients who had between 60% and 69% of the glycemia within the established
target. The total number of hypoglycemia was assessed and classified as severe hypoglycemia
(< 40 mg/dl) and mild hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dl) as well as nocturnal hypoglycemia.
In addition, the time required to achieve excellent or acceptable glycemic control
was also analyzed.
Results: Group 1 (Degludeca) had 4 episodes of hypoglycemia during hospitalization,
including 1 nocturnal episode classified as severe. Group 2 (NPH), had 13 episodes
of hypoglycemia, including 2 severe and 2 nocturnal episodes. Those Patients, independently
of the group, who had excellent control presented with a greater number of hypoglycemia,
as well as more severe and nocturnal events. The incidence of hypoglycemia was higher
in older patients, with higher number of comorbidities, lower BMI and longer time
of diabetes diagnoses. Group 1 achieved excellent glycemic control in 4 days on average,
while patients in group 2 took 6 days to achieved the same glycemic levels.
Conclusion: The study confirmed data already consolidated in the literature, evidencing
the superiority of Degludeca insulin in the reduction of nocturnal and/or severe hypoglycemias.
Keywords: Diabetes, and degludeca.

Introduction: As one of the most common endocrine disease and one of the most common
chronic conditions in children and teenagers, type 1 diabetes (T1D) accounts for only
about 5–10% of all cases of diabetes. Given the chronic nature of the disease, the
atherosclerotic process starts very soon in life, even before it shows up in screening
tests for micro or macrovascular complications. Puberty consists of a series of biologic
transitions, and the sequence of changes in secondary sexual characteristics has been
categorized by several groups. The physical measurements of development are based
on external primary and secondary sex characteristics, such as the size of the breasts,
genitals, testicular volume and development of pubic hair. Due to natural variation,
individuals pass through the Tanner stages at different moments, being classified
as children, adolescents and adults, depending justly on the timing of puberty (Fig.
1).
Objectives: To determine serum levels of lipid, cholesterol, triglycerides in 3 different
stages of maturity with T1D, when compared to data from non-diabetic ones with similar
maturity levels.
Methods: A case–control study was conducted on 21 T1D patients (5 prepubertal and
6 pubertal children; 10 adults) and 42 non-diabetic patients matched on age, sex,
and body mass index (BMI) and pubertal stages according to Tanner‘s criteria. The
lipid profile was determined and an Odds ratio (OR) was conducted with a confidence
interval of 95% (95% CI), to establish a correlation between different lipid fractions
and pubertal stages. A summary of the methodology is described in Table 1. Study Design—Case
Control Study 21 patients with T1D 42 patients in the control group Clinical Features
and Physical Examination Age Gender Body Mass Index (BMI) Pubertal Stages (Tanner’s
Criteria) Laboratory findings Total Cholesterol (TC) High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-c) Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) Triglycerides (TG) Fig. 2: Table 1.
Summary of the methodology.
Results: The T1D prepubertal children showed a trend in cholesterol levels highest
than those non-diabetic, however, this difference was not statistically significant
(p = 0.08). Among individuals in the pubertal stages, T1D is associated with greater
prevalence of dyslipidemia (71.4% vs. 21.8%, p < 0.03), with high total cholesterol
levels (184.7 ± 37.6 vs. 143.8 ± 25.9 mg/dl, p = 0.01), LDL-c (123 ± 31.2 vs. 81.4 ± 21.3 mg/dl,
p < 0.02) and triglycerides (168.3 ± 25.8 vs. 146.6 ± 21.4 mg/dl, p < 0.004) than
those non-diabetics (Fig. 2: Table 2). In this study, no significantly differences
were found for the entire adult population. Table 2. Summary of results T1D patients
control group adolescents Dyslipidemia: 71.4% TC: 184.7 ± 37.6 mg/dl LDL-c:123 ± 31,2 mg/dl

81.4 ± 21.3 mg/dl TG: 146.6 ± 21.4 mg/dl.
Conclusion: Although search for primary and secondary causes have not been made for
exclude them, our data suggests that an increasing prevalence of dyslipidemia among
T1D pubertal individuals. Therefore, it is necessary systematic approaches on dyslipidemia
screening in younger diabetics for preventing or delaying the development of future
micro or macrovascular complications of the disease.

Introduction: The development of atherosclerosis is the main complication of diabetes
mellitus and includes cardio and cerebrovascular diseases in addition to peripheral
arterial insufficiency. Together, they manifest themselves clinically frequently five
to ten times higher in diabetics than in non-diabetics.
Objectives: To evaluate the profile of hospitalizations of type 2 diabetic patients
due to macrovascular diseases in a teaching hospital in the city of São Paulo.
Methods: Retrospective study of 559 records of type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized
between January/2009 and November/2016. Anamnesis data were analyzed, such as age,
sex, causes and time of hospital stay. The patients were divided into three groups
regarding the occurrence of macrovascular events: cardiovascular, cerebrovascular
and peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Results: Among all hospitalizations of type 2 diabetic patients, 62.40% were due to
macrovascular events (n = 349). The mean age was 63 years (79–47 years). Of the macrovascular
events, 78.5% were from cardiovascular diseases, 12.5% from cerebrovascular diseases
and 9% from PAD. The mean length of hospital stay was 18 days. Table 1. Summary of
Macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetic patients admitted to a teaching hospital
in São Paulo Macrovascular complications 62.4% Cardiovascular diseases Cerebrovascular
conditions Peripheral arterial disease 78.5, 12.5, 9%.
Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus was a risk factor for cardiovascular events 2 to 3 times
higher in men, who are more likely to develop coronary heart disease, being the main
cause of hospitalization. The data found in our study are consistent with the literature,
since macrovascular diseases represented almost two-thirds of hospital admissions
in this population, with cardiovascular events being the most prevalent in more than
75% of the cases (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes is a serious complex condition when we take into account all
the complications, the changes in the habits of life of the individuals and the several
classes of drugs, not always understood by the vast majority of patients. Educational
actions help those affected to deal with the disease better and preventing other associated
complications.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of a project exclusively directed for people with
type 2 Diabetes (T2D), in the fields of education, health promotion and self-management.
Methods: From May to November 2016, patients with T2D within 10 years or less of diagnosis
were recruited from the diabetes outpatient clinic of a university hospital in the
city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Inappropriate glycemic control was defined as HbA1c ≥ 8%
(HPLC method). Patients who had previously participated in other educational projects
were excluded. The same structured questionnaire was administered at the beginning
and the end of this project to a total of 163 eligible participants (Fig. 1).
Results: As regards the replies to the questionnaire, the average scores at the first
and second time were 31.45 and 43.86 out of 56, respectively. The patients started
the clinical study with an average HbA1c levels of 10.3 ± 1.4%, having two consecutive
decreased statistically significant since educational program has started (p < 0.05).
Discussion: Several studies have demonstrated the intensive treatment of diabetes
with medical and multidisciplinary team visits in shortest intervals focusing on the
education about complications and self-management are effective strategies that improving
glycemic control and reducing the symptoms or long-term endpoints of the diabetes.
Conclusion: The model of diabetes self-management and patient education, with a view
to reducing the modifiable risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure,
obesity and smoking, is extremely important in order to achieve the glycemic control
in T2D patients. The data collected using the proposed methodology may be used when
drawing up the actions for improvement of critical points which may be identified.
Although our data was collected using a nonrandomized and non-controlled design study,
it seems clear the contribution of these new forms of education aiming the improvement
of assistance quality to diabetic people, especially with regard to the self-management
of diabetes (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The importance of a tight glycemic control in pre and gestational diabetes
mellitus in maternal–fetal binomial is well known. Sometimes, the adequate glycemic
goal is hard to be reached in public hospitals in development countries. However,
the impact of this clinic inertia in this binomial could be heterogeneous and depends
on the diabetes type.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between the gestational age of the first antenatal
visit and the maternal–fetal prognosis in the pregnancy of 3 main types of diabetes
mellitus.
Methods: 642 pregnant women [470 Gestational Diabetes(GDM), 100 Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(T1D)
e 74 type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D)] of a public university diabetes center were evaluated
in respect of the gestational age of the first antenatal visit and fetal outcomes
(jaundice, hypoglycaemia, respiratory distress, admission in intensive care unit (ICU),
malformations) and maternal outcomes (preeclampsia, pregnancy specific hypertensive
disease and oligoamnium). Estatistics were performed in SPSS: ANOVA and QUI square
tests.
Results: The patients wih GDM, T1D and T2D had age, body mass index (BMI), gestational
age of the first antenatal visit and HbA1c respectively: 33.8 + 5.3, 24.6 + 6.3 and
33.4 + 6.1 years; 30.2 + 6.1, 23.4 + 3.7 and 29.8 + 7.4 kg/m2; 25.6 + 7.1, 13.6 + 6.6
and 15.3 + 7.3 gestational weeks and 5.9 + 1.5, 8.4 +1.6 and 7.1 +1.9%. The cesarean
cession was predominant in all groups: 80.6% GDM, 76.5% T1D e 73% T2D. The newborns
birth weight (in kilograms) were: GDM: 3,16 +0,55; T1D: 2,74 +0,95 and T2D: 3,04 +0,72,
with 8,1% of LGA (large for gestational age) in the GDM, 16,3% in T1D and 12,9% in
T2D. The newborns of the patients with 1DM and 2DM had significantly higher rates
of hypoglycaemia (p:0,000 in both groups), jaundice (p:0,002 and p:0,001), respiratory
distress (p:0,007 and p:0,033) and admission in ICU (p:0,000 in both groups) compared
to then with GDM. The malformation rate was higher in the newborns of the 1DM mothers
compared to them with GDM (p:0,008). There were no significantly difference the maternal
outcomes between the groups.
Conclusion: The gestational age of the first visit has higher influence in newborns
than in maternal outcomes and in patients with pre gestational diabetes (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Hospital readmission is an important indicator of care received during
hospitalization. It is crucial to review the factors that lead to readmission, since
it has high costs for the individual, for the health system, and is associated with
higher morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: To evaluate the rate of readmission and the main associated causes among
type 2 diabetic patients in a large hospital, São Paulo/SP.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out between September 2014 and May 2017
with type 2 diabetic patients followed by the Endocrinology team for more than 48 h
and readmitted within 30 days after hospital discharge. The percentage of readmissions
was evaluated in relation to the total number of hospitalizations and their main causes.
Results: A total of 362 patients were studied, with a mean age of 64.5 years (43–86 years)
and mean duration of diabetes 12.7 ± 9.3 years. The overall readmission rate was 11.8%.
Among them, the majority were male (68%) and 78% had been hospitalized in the last
30 days with the same diagnosis. The main causes of readmission were cardiovascular
diseases 56%, cancer 19.5%, respiratory 12.2%, genitourinary 7.3% and gastrointestinal
5.0% (Fig. 1: Table 1). The main adjuvant comorbidities to the diagnosis of DM and
those mentioned above were (Fig. 1: Table 2): hypertension (39%), acute coronary syndromes
(16%), decompensated heart failure (15%), renal failure (17%) and decompensation of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (16%). Among those readmitted, the mortality
rate was 9.7%. Table 1. Main causes of hospital readmissions in patients with DM Cardiovascular

Conclusion: Our data are in accordance with the literature, which indicates readmission
rates varying from 2 to 16%. The profile of the main comorbidities found refers to
the specialties known to the general public and, in the case of a highly complex hospital,
exposes patients’ chronicity and severity. The epidemiological profile can help identify
those with greater potential for rehospitalization and the implementation of strategies
for better follow-up, with a substantial reduction in the morbimortality of the diabetic
population.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an important risk factor for the future development
of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends screening
for T2DM through the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 6 to 12 weeks postpartum
and every 3 years throughout life. However, studies show that even with proper guidelines,
the postpartum rate of return is low, between 20 and 64%. The objective of the study
was to evaluate the rate of return with the OGTT result 6–12 weeks after delivery
in women with previous gestational diabetes as well as the factors implicated in the
greater adherence to the test. A retrospective study was conducted with a cohort of
women with gestational diabetes, with prenatal care and delivery in a tertiary university
center, from January 2013 to April 2017. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes was
based on IADPSG criteria (fasting ≥ 92 mg/dl 1 h ≥ 180 mg/dl and/or 2 h ≥ 153 mg/dl)
and the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance were made using the ADA
criteria of 2016 (fasting and 2 h post-glucose load ≥ 126 mg/dl and/or ≥ 200 mg/dl
and 100–125 mg/dl and/or 140 mg/dl and 199 mg/dl, respectively). All women were instructed
to perform a OGTT 6–12 weeks postpartum. Statistical analysis was performed using
the SPSS program version 17.0. The t test and Mann–Whitney test were used for the
analysis of continuous variables and ×2 for categorical variables. Of the 152 patients
analyzed, 21 (13.8%) returned with the OGTT results. There was a statistically significant
difference in the frequency of insulin use during pregnancy (76.2% vs 38.9%, respectively
for the group that performed the OGTT and the non-adherent to the screening, p value = 0.001).
There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups regarding age,
family income, schooling, pre gestational BMI, parity, gestational age at the first
visit, smoking, family history of T2DM, diagnosis of GDM before the third trimester,
previous GDM and race. Among the patients who returned with the OGTT, 9 (45%) had
the diagnosis of pre-diabetes and none of T2DM, and there was no difference between
these 2 subgroups in the characteristics mentioned above. Measures are needed to improve
adherence such as active patient search, earlier implementation of OGTT (48 h postpartum)
and identification of patients at increased risk of developing T2DM.

Introduction: Distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN), seen in more than 50% of diabetic’s
patients, and obstructive peripheral arterial disease (OPAD) are the main risk factors
for ulceration. Foot ulcer affects 15% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), preceding
80% of amputations. The prevalence of DPN is 15% and 42%, after 10 and 20 years of
disease, respectively; there are other minor factors associated with ulceration. In
this work, we analyzed risk factors for ulceration in 30 patients from the outpatient
endocrinology clinic of the Federal University of State in Rio de Janeiro.
Methods: A questionnaire was applied evaluating the risk factors for ulceration, from
March 2016 to July 2017, in 30 patients of both genders, varied ethnicity, socioeconomic
level, with T2DM, followed by neurological examination of the feet and tibial brachial
index.
Results: In the evaluated patients, 56.7% presented neuropathy, 46.6% had OPAD and
the prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy was 73.3 and 43.3% respectively. Additionally,
60% of patients had more than 10 years of illness; 73.3% were elderly; 13.3% had psychosocial
factors, 46.7% had inadequate glycemic control, 36.7% were obese, 43.3% were dyslipidemic,
63.3% had hypertension, 60% used inadequate footwear, 37.5% had structural deformities,
63.3% had calluses and none has developed Charcot‘s osteoarthropathy. In our patients,
16.7% presented ulceration.
Conclusion: In the descriptive analysis of this casuistry, the data show that our
results follow the prevalence of neuropathy, OPAD and ulceration in patients with
T2DM, based on the current literature as well as other risk factors. We observed the
need to establish an improvement in the glycemic control of these patients in order
to prevent long-term micro and macrovascular complications in the case of neuropathy
and ulceration, performing the screening annually through the neurological test of
the feet followed by self-care guidelines in diabetic patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease of high prevalence and it is believed
that changes in dietary patterns in the last decades may be associated with a large
increase in the number of cases.
Objectives: To evaluate the socioeconomic, clinical and food frequency characteristics
regarding the control of diabetes mellitus in patients attending a university hospital
in the South of Brazil.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional and quantitative study. Socioeconomic and clinical
data were collected and the Food Frequency Questionnaire was applied in 60 type 2
diabetic patients. Comparisons were made between the controlled (HbA1c ≤ 7%) and uncontrolled
(HbA1c > 7%) patients, using the Chi square test and Fisher‘s Exact, with a significance
level of 5%.
Results: Diagnosis time of 5 years or more (p < 0.01), insulin use (p < 0.001), frequent
diet in foods rich in simple carbohydrates (p < 0.001), milk and derivatives (p < 0.01)
and oils and fats (p < 0.001) were associated with worse glycemic control (HbA1c > 7%).
Frequent diet in vegetables (p < 0.001), fruits (p < 0.001) and meat and eggs (p < 0.01)
were associated with better glycemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7%).
Conclusion: It is important to encourage preventive actions and treatment of diabetic
patients, especially those with a longer diagnosis and with emphasis on an adequate
diet (Figs. 1, 2, 3).

Introduction: Acromegaly results from increased production of growth hormone (GH)
and insulin-like growth factor type I (IGF-I). Insulin resistance is one of the characteristics
complications, and may result in glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus (DM).
Objective: To identify the frequency of glycemic changes in patients with acromegaly
followed in a reference service, as well as their evolution with the treatment of
the pathology.
Methods: A review of medical records was carried out, and demographic, tumor and biochemical
data were collected, as well as its evolution with the various forms of treatment.
Numerical variables were compared using the Mann–Whitney test and categorical variables
using the Chi square test.
Results: Thirty-five patients (69% women), with a median age at diagnosis of 42 years
(2067) were included. Twenty-four of 29 tumors (83%) were macroadenomas. GH and IGF-I
levels at diagnosis were 9.7 μg/L (1.1–80.0) and 721 ng/mL (321–1757), respectively.
The glucose level at diagnosis was 109 mg/dL (82–597) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
was 8.5% (6.0–10.0), with 10 patients (29%) diagnosed with DM and 8 patients (23%)
with pre-DM. The frequency of DM at diagnosis was not different between genders (p = 0.440),
between micro or macroadenomas (p = 0.616), nor among those with a positive family
history for DM or not (p = 1.000). There was no difference in GH or IGF-I levels among
patients diagnosed with DM or not at diagnosis (p = 0.075 and p = 0.357, respectively).
The age at diagnosis was higher in patients with DM than in those without DM, with
a tendency to statistical significance [50 years (24–67) and 38 years (20–63), respectively,
p = 0.056]. The median follow-up of the patients was 60 months (1–303) and 29 patients
(83%) underwent surgery. Treatment with somatostatin analogues was used in 27 patients
(77%). The median glucose level at the last visit was 97 mg/dL (64–309) and there
was a reduction of HbA1c to 6.1% (5.0–11.0). At the last visit, 11 patients (31%)
had a diagnosis of DM and 10 patients (29%) of pre-DM, with treatment with oral antidiabetics
(primarily metformin) in 47% and associated insulin in refractory cases, corresponding
to 19% of the cases.
Conclusion: The frequency of glucose changes in acromegaly is already high at diagnosis.
Treatment of acromegaly allows reduction of glucose levels.

Introduction: The objective of the treatment of mellitus type 1 diabetes (DM1) is
to mimic the endogenous secretion of insulin by pancreatic β cells to maintain glycemic
levels within normal limits, aiming at the disappearance of symptoms, improvement
of quality of life and reduction of acute and chronic complications. The main advantages
of continuous insulin infusion (SICI) therapy are: reduced glycemic variability, reduced
episodes of hypoglycemia and a more flexible lifestyle.
Objective: To evaluate the treatment of DM1 patients in the use of SICI.
Methods: Retrospective evaluation of medical records of DM1 patients using SICI followed
at the endocrinology outpatient clinic. Time of disease, anthropometric and lipid
profile, presence of severe hypoglycemia and chronic complications were evaluated.
In addition, mean levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were obtained 1 year prior
to SICI treatment and 6 months later.
Results: The charts of 8 patients, all female, age 31.6 ± 6.8 years, 75% eutrophic,
duration of DM1 17.2 ± 7.9 years were analyzed. Seven of the eight patients had a
carbohydrate count and were under intensive bolus-based regimen; only 1 had fixed
doses of insulin. Indications for treatment with SICI were: presence of severe hypoglycemia
and glycemic variability. The time of treatment with SICI was 2.9 ± 2.3 years. As
for the chronic complications, only the patient with the longest duration of the disease
(30 years) had nephropathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, remaining stable
and controlled over the years. During the use of SICI, it also developed neuropathy.
In the present study, 50% of the patients had severe hypoglycemia before treatment
with SICI and there was resolution in 100% of the cases. Likewise, we observed an
improvement in glycemic levels, mean HbA1c 1 year before SICI treatment was 8.1% (± 1.39)
and after 6 months, 7.5% (± 0.75).
Conclusion: Our sample showed improvement in episodes of severe hypoglycemia concomitant
to the improvement of glycemic control in DM1 patients in the use of SICI (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Women with inadequately controlled diabetes before and during pregnancy
are at high risk to develop perinatal complications. A strict glycemic control is
advised before and during pregnancy in these patients. To achieve glycemic goals,
a multiprofessional program is offered. The intensification of gestational treatment
could lead to changes in the patient‘s attitude, with long term improvement in glycemic
control and self health care.
Objective: To evaluate post-gestational glycemic control in type 1 DM (T1DM) patients
in a tertiary hospital.
Methods: Retrospective records evaluation of 16 patients with T1DM that were pregnant
between 2005 and 2016. The data collected was: anthropometric measurements, disease
duration, number of pre-and post-pregnancy consultations, maternal–fetal complications
and mean HbA1c in the year before gestation, on the first and second year after delivery.
When there was no pre-gestational HbA1c available, it was considered HbA1c in the
first trimester. Results are described as percentage and mean ± standard deviation.
Statistical analysis was made through the SPSS 17.0 program, considering p < 0.05
as significant.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 25.43 years (± 4.59) and the mean time of
T1DM was 12.75 years (± 6.7). 18.8% (n = 3) had at least one chronic complication
of DM while 18.8% (n = 3) had more than one chronic complication. The mean number
of consultations in the year prior to pregnancy was 3.25 (± 1.7), 1 year and 2 years
after the pregnancy was 3.8 (± 1.2) and 2.09 (± 0.7), respectively. The mean HbA1c
1 year before pregnancy was 8.69% (± 2.03), 1 year later was 9.04% (± 2.03) and 2 years
after was 9.09% (± 1.74), without correlation with age, time of diagnosis and number
of consultations before or after pregnancy. Before pregnancy, 37.5% of the patients
presented HbA1c < 7%, after 1 year 12.5% of patients had HbA1c < 7% and 2 years after
gestation 0% of the patients presented HbA1c < 7% %, p = 0.007. Patients who had
HbA1c < 7.0% before gestation presented better control 1 year later than those with
HbA1c > 7.0% (HbA1c 7.24 ± 0.49 vs10.11 ± 1.77%, p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Although they participated in a multiprofessional program, the patients
presented worsening of glycemic control in the 2 years postpartum, as already described
in the literature. Patients with better glycemic control had better postpartum control.
There is need to implement new strategies to ensure better glycemic control for T1DM
women after pregnancy.

Background: Self-monitoring of capillary glycemia is one of the pillars of the control
of Diabetes Mellitus, being essential to help achieve goals and prevent complications.
Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),
insulin users, about practice of glycemic self-monitoring.
Methods: A crosssectional study was carried out with a calculated sample of 60 patients,
representing a Diabetes Center in Belo Horizonte, MG, during the first consultation
by a nursing team. Data on patient knowledge about lancet use, hygiene and digital
puncture, frequency of glycemic performance and recording, glycemic goals and lancet
discarding were evaluated in an instrument developed and completed by the researchers
(Table 1).
Results: Most of the participants were female (63.3%), aged between 35 and 60 years
(51.7%) and more than 10 years of diagnosis (56.6%), with complete primary education
(60%), retired (53.3%) and family income of up to 1 minimum wage (51.7%). About handwashing,
only 13.3% of the individuals performed the technique correctly, with subsequent drying.
The item with the highest assertiveness in glycemic self-monitoring was the correct
insertion of the test strip (98.3%), followed by the placement of enough blood in
the strip (93.3%). It was observed that it was easy to prepare and arm the lancet,
as well as to position it correctly on the finger (84.4%), but only 43.5% did the
lancet‘s graduation correctly. It was verified that a minority registered the results
obtained (25%) and only 6,7% knew their glycemic goals. The study showed that reuse
of the lancet is a common practice among patients, with 27 (45%) participants reusing,
performing an average of 3 daily punctures with the same lancet.
Conclusion: Errors in the daily practice of glycemic self-monitoring can impair and
delay diabetes control. The continuing education of patients with T2DM and their relatives
is of fundamental importance in the treatment, contributing to ensure the correct
realization of the capillary glucose monitoring and the achievement of treatment goals
(Fig. 1).

Introduction: The intensive treatment of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus aims to mimetize
the physiological profile of insulin secretion to achieve good metabolic control,
and for that, the blood glucose self-monitoring is known to be a fundamental procedure.
In order to have the complete benefit of that, the patient needs to master the technique,
be able to interpret the results and turn it into actions to adjust the treatment.
Aware of the importance, the federal law nº: 11.347 was raised, in 2007, to regulate
the availability of these supplies on public health care settings.
Objective: To evaluate the management and the degree of understanding about the monitoring
of blood glucose in patients and caregivers of patients with DM1 attending at a secondary
level of care health service.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a sample of Type 1 DM patients
enrolled in the blood glucose monitoring program in a referral health care service
in Ceará, Brazil, in the period of 2016 and 2017. The data was collected through a
questionnaire answered on the outpatient visits during the study period.
Results: A sample of 95 patients, being 60.22% female, with the mean age of 17 years
old were evaluated. 73% received free test strips from the health care system program.
93.33% monitor the blood glucose on a daily basis, those of which 42.86% do it three
times a day. However, 46.51% don’t test postprandial glucose monitoring. 81.72% understands
the meaning of the glycose mesurements, and 91.40% of these claimed to have the knowledge
about the normal goal of the treatment. In this group, 80% answered within the adequate
range for fasting blood glucose, while for the postprandial values, only 52.63% of
the answers were on the correct range. The self-adjustment of insulin dose based on
blood glucose were performed by 65.22% of the patients. The limited access for the
test strips and supplies due to economic reasons or inadequate distribution was the
main limiting factor of the method.
Conclusion: The study data suggest that the access to the method is still limited.
The knowledge of this population about the treatment goals are reasonable, however,
this does not translate on the attitude of self-adjustment of the treatment, which
is even less than the expected. The adherence to postprandial glucose monitoring is
low among this population, also it is shown little knowledge about the postprandial
goals of the treatment. Our study has not yet evaluated the influence of this behaviour
in metabolic control.

Background: Glucocorticoids (GCs) are a group of drugs with immunosuppressive and
antiinflammatory action, its mechanism of action is related to the suppressing the
release of proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, GCs may interfere with carbohydrate
metabolism, by antagonizing various peripheral actions of insulin, and from this action,
trigger changes in the biochemical profile, mainly regarding the lipid representation.
The present study aimed to evaluate the dose–response influence of prednisone in the
biochemical profile of rats. For this, 36 male Wistar rats were distributed in five
groups: control (CONT) administered with vehicle (n = 6); treated with prednisone
(PRED) at doses of 0.625 mg/kg (PRED 0.625; n = 7); 1.250 mg/kg (PRED 1.25; n = 8);
(PRED 2.5, n = 7) and 5.000 mg/kg (PRED 5.0; n = 7). The treatment was daily with
a duration of 21 days, with fasting glycemic measures being evaluated in the first
(zero) and last day (21). Then the rats were anesthetized and killed by decapitation,
in order to collect the whole blood for serum biochemical analysis by spectrophotometry.
All data were statistically evaluated with significance of 5%.
Results: In the measurement of glucose during treatment, a drop in blood glucose was
observed on day 21 of treatment compared to day 0 only in the PRED 2.5 group (78.0 ± 3.9
vs. 93.5 ± 7.0 mg/dL). Regarding serum biochemical values at the end of treatment,
the lipid levels decreased at high treatment doses group (PRED 2.5 and PRED 5.0 groups)
related to the control, both for the levels of triglycerides: PRED 2.5 = 80.0 ± 29.7 mg/dL;
PRED 5.0 = 76.0 ± 36.2 vs. CONT = 144.1 ± 39.6, as Very Low Density Lipoproteins,
VLDL: PRED 2.5 = 16.0 ± 5.9 mg/dL; PRED 5.0 = 15.2 ± 7.2 vs. CONT = 22.8 ± 7.9; and
also in High Density Lipoproteins, HDL: PRED 2.5 = 21.3 ± 7.3 mg/dL; PRED 5.0 = 23.8 ± 4.2
vs. CONT = 53.0 ± 7.7. Moreover, an increase of the enzyme alanine aminotransferase
(ALT) was observed in the PRED group 1.25 (79.0 ± 25.1 U/L) compared to the control
group (68.6 ± 24.8 U/L).
Conclusions: Even with no glycemic elevation due to the treatment of prednisone, the
groups of higher doses (2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg) suggest a lipolysis action, promoting a
decrease in triglyceride levels, VLDL and low levels of HDL. Therefore, it was concluded
that high doses should be used with caution, because they can cause atherogenic particle
accumulation, and metabolic acidosis due to the degradation of cholesterol.
Ethics approval: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee on Animal Research,
approval number 23108.045215/2014-39.

Case presentation Female patient, 49 year-old, obese, sedentary, hypertensive, with
chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, without family history of chronic kidney disease
and obesity. After 10 months of hemodialysis he underwent vertical gastrectomy weighting
110 kg, BMI (body mass index) of 43 kg/m2, clinical examination performed in the clinic
before the surgery indicated conscious, oriented, anicteric, afebrile, 110 × 70 mmHg
arterial pressure. It was in use of 9 tablets a day of sevelamer phosphate chelator.
On the third day after bariatric surgery, the patient returned to the hemodialysis
treatment, obtaining weight reduction according to weight changes chart and BMI (graph 01)
after bariatric surgery. Graph 01: Weighting changes and BMI after bariatric surgery
in a patient on hemodialysis treatment. Patient followed restricted liquid diet for
15 days with good acceptance, making use of two food supplements, being an hypercaloric
and hyperproteic and another hyperproteic. In the pasty diet followed it was used
only the hypercaloric and hyperproteic supplement. After a year and 2 months, the
patient follows a diet that varies from 817 to 848 kcal according to a 24-h reminder
in dialysis days and non-dialysis days, considering the energetic value of the supplement.
It follows with good food acceptance. Table 1: The micronutrients were calculated
through a 24-h reminder performed in November 2016, 9 months after bariatric surgery,
in that same reminder was considered the food supplement and also the polyvitamin/polimineral
supplement administered in 3-month intervals.
Discussion: With the decrease of the patient weight, it achieved a slight improvement
in the metabolic profile, reached a BMI of 33 kg/m2, obtained a percentage of weight
loss (% PWL) of 23%, the weight lost was 25 kg, the percentage of weight excess (%
PWE) was 17%, which increases the chance of the patient performing renal transplantation,
previously denied by overweight. Micronutrient ingestion is mostly adequate, with
the use of dietary supplement and polyvitamin/poliminerals it was possible to reach
the recommendations for patients on hemodialysis and DRIS. The chelator was reduced
to 1 tablet daily.
Conclusion: With this study it is possible to conclude that nutritional monitoring
is of high relevance for this patient to reach the adequate macronutrients and micronutrients
supply, according to the needs presented during the treatment. The monitoring of nutrient
ingested is essential for the health and success of the treatment. Informed consent
to publish had been obtained from the patient. (Fig. 1)

Background: Plantar sensibility is an indicator to be investigated in the person with
Diabetes Mellitus (DM), as soon as the injury of the peripheric nerve turns in the
reduction or total loss of the protective sensibility of the cloths, making the vulnerable
person to the injuries appearance and, consequently, to amputations of inferior members
[1]. Treatment of the consequences of the neuropatia for the feet, specifically, for
the sensibility deficit, includes the education in health, the cares with the feet
and the use of appropriate shoes. Purpose of the study to value the plantar sensibility
of persons with DM before and after the educative intervention.
Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive study of the type daily pay and powders-interventions,
developed in an Strategy of Health of the Family. Sample was composed by 35 persons
above 18 years and I diagnose of DM more than 5 years ago. An instrument was applied
for characterization and the plantar sensibility valued through the Monofilament of
10 g of Semmes–Weinstein and Score of Symptoms Neuropáticos. Sensibility was valued
before and after eight fortnightly home meetings, which had the intention of teaching
cares with the feet. Collected data were tabulated in an electronic spreadsheet of
the program Excel 2007 and validated, being subsequently analysed by the program Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences 21.0. Descriptive statistic was carried out for the
characterization sociodemográfica and to analyse the results daily pay and powders-interventions,
Anova was used with measures repeated with interest in the interaction. Project was
approved by Institutution‘s Ethics Board of the Federal University of Alfenas, number
20376013.2.0000.5142.
Results: 64.2% of the volunteers was women, with low level of schooling and familiar
income; 80% reported what had never the evaluated feet and in the same proportion,
they were never orientated on the cares with the feet. Regarding the plantar sensibility
valued through the Monofilament of 10 g and of ESN, the volunteers presented scores
of 7.05 points in the first evaluation and 7.80 after the educative intervention,
representing significant statistical improvement in the protective sensibility of
the feet (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Educative intervention based in the autocare with the feet contributed
to the improvement of the plantar sensibility of the persons with DM, which can be
made a list to the directions on the use of appropriate shoes that do not hold tight
the feet, use of new shoes you punish 2 h in a day and of stockings without elastic
or the change of the volunteers in the behavior and attentive glance for the feet
during the evaluations.

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a heterogeneous disease resulted from numerous mechanisms
that lead to chronic hyperglycemia. Genetic and environmental factors act on the pathophysiology
of diabetes, but the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the disease are
not fully understood, probably reflecting different genetic background and environmental
triggering factors. Recently, a new mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation of
genes, performed by small RNAs of 21–25 nucleotides called microRNAs (miRNAs), has
favored the understanding of various biological processes and diseases. The objective
of this study was to evaluate the influence of miRNAs on the pathophysiology of T1D.
Methods: The profile of 384 circulating microRNAs from 37 recent-onset T1D patients
up to 6 months (17F/20 M), aged 12.89 ± 6.53 years, HbA1c levels of 7.8 ± 2.0% who
tested positive for islet autoantibodies, was compared with those of 30 healthy controls
(18F/12M), aged 16.28 ± 6.28, HbA1c of 5.4 ± 5.0%. The groups were paired for gender
and age. Serum/Plasma kit- Qiagen was used for serum RNA extraction. Real-time PCR
was performed in QuantStudio 12K equipment- Applied Biosystems TaqMan Low Density
Array.
Results: Four serum miRNAs were upregulated in recent-onset T1D patients: hsa-miR-101
(3.9x; p = 0.04), hsa-miR-203 (2.3x; p = 0.04) and hsa-miR-21 (2.3x; p = 0.02), related
to inflammation, apoptosis of beta cells and inhibition of insulin secretion, and
hsa-miR-874(2.6x; p = 0.02), suppressor of angiogenesis. Two miRNAs were down-regulated
in T1D: has-miR-125a-5p (0.5x; p = 0.04) and hsa-miR-191(0.5x; p = 0.04), both related
to the control of immune response. The data suggests that circulating miRNAs can mirror
T1D physiopathology, signaling inflammation, destruction and altered metabolism. Supported

Introduction: Diabetic Neuropathy is a chronic microvascular complication defined
as signs and/or symptoms of peripheral nerve dysfunction in individuals with Diabetes
Mellitus (DM) after exclusion of differential causes. It is known that this condition
is related to the risk of ulcerations and amputations at lower limbs. Furthermore,
a significant portion of health spending on this population is due to foot complications.
Preventive care and early treatment are essential, therefore specialized DM care centers
should know about patients profile and look forward to appropriate support services
to change this unfavorable scenario.
Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the profile of patients with
Diabetic Neuropathy treated at the State Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Luiz
Capriglione (IEDE)/RJ.
Methodology: 257 patients referred to the support clinic in Diabetic Neuropathy were
evaluated. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from medical records. The scales
used were neuropathic symptom score (NSS) and neuropathic disability score (NDS).
Results: In the present study, we found a prevalence of ND of 8.2% in type 1 DM and
86% in type 2 DM, medium age of 58.7 years (but patients with type 1 DM were younger,
p = 0.05), predominance of females (74.7%), time of diagnosis of DM greater than 15 years,
with mean glycated hemoglobin (A1c) of 8.18%, and most of them had comorbidities (obesity,
hypertension arterial and chronic kidney disease). Regarding the symptoms and signs,
they presented NSS classified as moderate and NDS classified as mild. There were no
significant differences related to the type of DM. Diabetic retinopathy was present
at 64.2% of the patients. A prevalence of approximately 2% of signs and symptoms of
Diabetic Neuropathy was detected in prediabetes patients.
Conclusions: Related to this population, the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy was
made only when the symptoms and signs were present after a long time of diagnosis
of DM and the presence of risk factors previously described in the literature (hypertension,
obesity, elevated HgA1c, duration of DM) as aggravating factors. Thus, reference centers
must elaborate urgent preventive measures at a multidisciplinary form to provide education
of the population and early detection and treatment of this complication with consequent
reduction of unfavorable outcomes (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes education is part of the integral care of the patient, interactively
involving the affected individual and the educator. Patients systematically followed
by a multiprofessional team have a better prognosis of the disease.
Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of diabetic patients, as well as their
technique of injection.
Methods: A questionnaire was applied to patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1)
and their caregivers. Numerical variables were described using mean; the categorical
variables, absolute value and percentage. For a verification of associations, the
Spearman correlation coefficient, Pearson‘s Chi square test and Kruskal–Wallis test
were used.
Results: 105 patients, 3.8% infants, 11.5% pre-school children, 26.9% schoolchildren,
54.8% adolescents and 22.9% adults were evaluated; with a predominance of males (56.3%).
The age at diagnosis of DM1 was 7.8 years and disease time was 3.4 years. A mean of
glycosylated hemoglobin was 8.7% with a positive correlation to disease time (p = 0.029).
A total insulin dose was 0.93 IU/kg/day, being 0.53 IU/kg/day (56.98%) in basal form.
Slow-acting insulin analogues were used in 68% of the individuals, with an ultrafast
action in 70.9%, NPH in 32% and regular in 29.1%. There was a higher total insulin
and bolus dose in the adolescents, as well as lower dose not pre-school group (p = 0.006
and p = 0.013, respectively). Form of application: pen (65.4%), syringe (28.8%) and
pump insulin (1.9%). The self-application of insulin in 50.5% of cases over 5 years,
with a predominance of application 10 min before meals. A mean reuse of the needle
for application of 8.13 times, being more frequent in adolescents (p = 0.021). Most
used needle: 4 mm (42.2%). The injectables were discarded in the Health Units in 65%
of the cases. The gluteal region was a less used version for medication (49.5%), with
only 31.4% rotating in all muscle groups. While a lipohypertrophy (LH) was diagnosed
by the physician in 46% of the patients, only 35.2% of them reported their presence.
LH showed no correlation with type of basal insulin (p = 0.412) or bolus (p = 0.366).
Conclusion: There is still a lack of education about the use of injectables in diabetic
patients. The educational process allows for injectable and improved practices, thus
allowing better outcomes for the patient‘s health.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased fracture
risk besides higher Bone Mineral Density (BMD), compared to non-diabetic controls.
Factors influencing fracture risk are well established in literature, however studies
on BMD have shown contradictory results.
Objective: Evaluate risk factors for BMD variation and fractures in T2DM.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients with T2DM with lumbar and femoral
BMD measurement by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Data was collected from medical
records from July 2016 to June 2017. SPSS 13.0 was used for statistical analysis.
Results: 138 patients, 87% female, 64 ± 8.36 years, 67.2% overweight, 78.3% hypertension,
82.6% dyslipidemia and 97.3% were menopause women (84.8% without hormone therapy replacement).
Duration of diabetes was 16 ± 10.09 years, 71.7% were using insulin, 26.1% with macrovascular
complications (15.2% heart attack, 9.4% stroke and 11.6% peripheral artery disease)
and 72.5% with microvascular complications (45.9% retinopathy, 51.4% neuropathy and
36.6% albuminuria). Mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was 7.7% ± 1.53. Osteopenia was
present in 38.4% and osteoporosis in 24.6%. Only 8 (5.8%) presented clinical fracture,
of which 7 had visual impairment and 1 was submitted to bariatric surgery. BMD and
fracture risk had no correlation to HbA1c. BMD was inversely correlated to age (femoral
neck e total hip), duration of the diabetes (three sites), fracture risk (three sites),
microvascular complications (lumbar e femoral neck), albuminuria (femoral neck), neuropathy
(lumbar). Higher BMD was correlated to male gender (lumbar) and higher BMI, Body Mass
Index, (three sites). Fracture was positively correlated to duration of the diabetes
(three sites) and insulin therapy (three sites), and negatively with albuminuria (three
sites).
Conclusion: The prevalence of fractures in our population was lower than the literature
and not correlated to A1c levels. Underdiagnosis of spine fractures might have contributed
to this result. On the other hand, we observed negative correlation between microvascular
complications and BMD that could be explained by the negative influence of diabetic
microangiopathy on bone metabolism. The inversely correlation between fracture and
albuminuria remains unclear, while the positively correlation of higher BMI and male
gender is in accordance with previous data (Figs. 1, 2, 3).

Abstract Patient, 19 years old, male, previously accompanied in a hospital of neurological
rehabilitation by spastic paraparesis, equine tail syndrome and cognitive dysfunction.
Spastic paraparesis was diagnosed after birth. The patient was referred to the Endocrinology
Service of the General Hospital of Fortaleza for presenting hypocholesterolemia. As
a clinical complaint, he had only reduced visual acuity. He denied diarrhea. Family
history of unknown hypocholesterolemia. In view of the previous history of neurological
pathology and hypocholesterolemia, the hypothesis of Familial Hipobetalipoproteinemia
was raised. Diagnostic screening tests showed total cholesterol: 65 mg/dL, HDL: 40 mg/dL,
LDL: 19.2 mg/dL and triglycerides: 29 mg/dL. Apolipoprotein B was below the reference
value (50 mg/dL). Other tests such as vitamin D3, TSH, free T4, INR were normal. The
patient underwent ophthalmologic evaluation with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT),
which detected hyperreflective points in layers of nerve fibers, suggesting lipid
accumulation. Hipobetalipoproteinemia is a rare group of genetic diseases, with clinical
manifestations initiated in childhood. In its homozygous form, the patient may present
neurological and ophthalmological alterations, as well as diarrhea and acanthocytosis.
In its heterozygous form, it may be asymptomatic. Early diagnosis and treatment with
vitamin replacement is essential for the adequate development of the patient. The
present case is relevant because of its rarity and to illustrate the possible consequences
of a late diagnosis.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Background: The chronic nature of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the complexity of its
treatment interfere with the patient‘s quality of life (QOL). Reflexology is one of
the most popular complementary therapies in the world. It is a systematic practice
in which applying some pressure to any particular points on the feet gives impacts
on the health of related parts of the body.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of feet reflexology on the quality of life of
diabetic patients.
Methods: Randomized, controlled and single-blind clinical trial performed at a diabetes
educational center, in Brazil. 68 subjects, diagnosed with type 2 DM and aged 18 years
or more was selected for recruitment in the trial. The details of the study subjects’recruitment
procedure are presented in a consorted flow diagram as shown below (Fig. 1). Reflexology
is a systematic practice in which applying some pressure to any particular points
on the feet impacts the health. According to the reflex theory, organs, glands and
other parts of the body are linked to specific points on hands and feet (Fig. 1).
For assessment of functional capacity the instruments for QOL (SF-36), and the Stanford
Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) were applied, before starting
reflexology therapy and after 4 consecutive weeks. This research was conducted in
accordance with the ethical recommendations of the Declaration of Helsinki. Conclusion
Feet reflexology has improved the quality of life of diabetic patients, in functional
capacity, role-physical, pain, role emotional aspects (Figs. 2, 3).

Background: Type 1 diabetes intensive treatment reduces complications risk and self-monitoring
is essential to reach the goals. The flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) consists
of a subcutaneous sensor placed on the arm, which measures interstitial fluid’s glucose
in real time by a reader which displays current and historical glucose levels and
glucose trends, with good accuracy and no need of capillary blood glucose sample for
calibration. FGMS’s use by public health system patients is surrounded by discussions
about cost-effectiveness.
Objective: To evaluate FGMS’s use on patients attending a public health system type
1 diabetes reference center at Belo Horizonte.
Methods: Patients 13 years old or more, on self-monitoring practice without help and
hemoglobin A1c (A1c) above 7.5% were invited. The sensor was placed during the visit
and instructions about the use were given. After 14 days data was downloaded and doses
adjustments were made.300 blood glucose test strips were provided and patients were
instructed to perform daily 3 extra blood glucose tests beyond those usually performed.
New evaluation was made after 3 months. The study was approved by Santa Casa of Belo
Horizonte’s Ethics Board, approval 1.064.985 and written consent was obtained from
participants.
Results: 15 patients joined the study, with mean age 30.3 ± 14.14 (16–55) years, 40%
females, mean time of T1DM diagnosis of 10.47 ± 5.93 (2–26) years and education level
of 93,7% attending up to high school (26.7% attending up to elementary school). There
were 4 problem situations with the sensor (2 detachments, 1 early interruption of
the operation and 1 skin reaction). Mean number of daily scans was 16.33 ± 11.43 (5–44),
with a positive correlation with age (r2 = 0.538, p 0.038), percentage of measures
within the glycemic target (r2 = 0.661, p 0.007) and negative with percentage of measures
above the glycemic target (r2 = − 0.545, p 0.035), A1c prediction of the sensor (r2 = − 0.543,
p0.037) and A1c after 3 months (r2 = − 0.656, p0.008). There was no correlation between
education level and number of scans or intercurrences. There was no significant difference
in A1c before [8.39 ± 0.86% (7.5–10.3)] and after 3 months [8.01 ± 1.17% (5.8–10.1)].
20% of patients reached A1c ≤ 7%.
Conclusion: It is possible to use FGMS at brazilian public health system, even on
low education level patients, with good acceptance and favoring treatment goals, related
to the highest number of measured glucose levels.

Case report: A 31-year-old African-Brazilian man was admitted to hospital reporting
abdominal pain associated to vomiting, polyuria and polydipsia 3 days ago, and weight
loss. The patient had no previous medical history and was not under medications. He
had family history (FH) of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). At presentation, he had
acanthosis nigricans in cervical/axillary regions, BMI = 46 kg/m2, was dehydrated
and tachypneic, but no fever. Laboratory tests demonstrated blood glucose 690 mg/dL,
severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)—pH 7.0, HCO3 2.5 mEq/L, lactate 1.4 mmol/L and
ketonuria. Once the DKA protocol was initiated, the patient’s pH level normalized
within 24 h. Furthermore, the patient had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 12.2%, low C-peptide
level (1.7 ng/mL) and negative autoantibodies (AA)—anti-GAD, anti-insulin, anti-islet
cell and anti-protein tyrosine phosphatase. After the acute phase, the patient was
treated with metformin, basalbolus insulin therapy and received hospital discharge
at the 5th day. Short-acting (regular) insulin was suspended in the end of the first
month and maintained NPH insulin plus pioglitazone and metformin. After the second
month, his fasting glycemia was 94 mg/dL and HbA1c 7.1%. At this time, NPH insulin
was suspended and the patient was managed with only oral anti-diabetic agents.
Discussion: Idiopathic type 1 diabetes (T1DM), Flatbush and “Ketosis-prone” T2DM are
denominations for a rare form of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) due to transitory pancreatic
failure. It is characterized by DKA, absence of AA and low C-peptide levels. The pathogenesis
remains unknown, but the suggested mechanisms are glyco and lipotoxicity, which affect
the beta cells (BC) insulin secretion but, after the DKA treatment, lead to BC function
recovery. This form of DM typically occurs among obese men at 40 years old with FH
of T2DM. The treatment proceeds with reduction of insulin intake, resulting, in most
cases, with its suspension. Final Considerations: This case illustrates a rare form
of DM that, nevertheless, has been more frequently described. We reported an African–Brazilian
patient with class III obesity and insulin resistance signs that was diagnosed with
DKA and had absence of AA and low C-peptide levels. There was a good response to insulin
sensitizers, and the insulin administration was suspended in the following months.
The natural course of Flatbush diabetes is atypical, which makes its identification
important in order to introduce an adequate management.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

The weight gain is a challange to the public health and researches have shown that
it can be more common in some social groups. Obesity can present with chronic diseases
and it is risk fator for vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency. Although bariatric surgery
is an effective treatment for weight loss, it may aggravate a vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency
already present in the preoperative period. In this prospective longitudinal descriptive
study, socioeconomic, clinical and laboratory data of patients undergoing bariatric
surgery at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Catarina were
described and analyzed, from the preoperative period until the 6th postoperative month.
The quantitative variables were described in mean ± standard deviation, and the differences
analyzed by the t student test for paired samples. The majority of the participants
were female (88.1%) and those with the highest weight loss were in the 35–44 age group,
family income per capita ≥ ½ and < 1 minimum wage, and incomplete or complete elementary
education. A statistically significant decrease in body mass index was observed (49.0 ± 6.6
vs. 35.8 ± 5.5 kg/m2, n = 40, p < 0.0001); and an improvement in fasting blood glucose,
triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). There was
a decrease in the prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
There was also a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in all periods,
but low use of cholecalciferol.

Introduction: Strict glycemic control with multiple daily insulin injections is the
focus of treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but it is usually associated with an
increase in the number of hypoglycemia episodes. Although long-acting insulin analogues
have pharmacological properties to mimic physiologic insulin profile, literature is
not unanimous in showing this effect in comparison to human insulin. In Brazil, only
some states, including Rio Grande do Sul (RS), provide insulin analogues for T1D patients.
Objective: To evaluate the frequency of hypoglycemia and treatment satisfaction in
patients with T1D using long-acting insulin analogues.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, sample was calculated to represent 1382 T1D
adults in 20 cities of RS who receive insulin analogues by the state. Demographics
and clinical data were evaluated by a self-administered questionnaire. Satisfaction
was assessed through the Satisfaction with Diabetes Treatment Questionnaire (DTSQs),
a 6-item survey in which scores range from 0 to 36 (higher scores = greater satisfaction).
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to evaluate common mental disorders
(CMD), which encompasses anxiety, depression and psychosomatic symptoms. A score ≥ 3
was used as a positive screening for CMD. Two groups were compared, according to the
insulin regimen: long-acting + ultra-rapid acting insulin analogue (LUR) and NPH insulin + ultra-rapid
acting insulin analogue (NUR).
Results: A total of 280 T1D patients were included, 230 on LUR (82.1%) and 50 on NUR
(17.9%). Overall, the mean age was 40.4 ± 15.7 years, 51.4% were women and 90.3% were
Caucasian. In a one-month period, no differences were observed between LUR and NUR
groups regarding > 4 episodes of hypoglycemia (27.4% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.53), nocturnal
hypoglycemia (28.2% vs. 30.9%, p = 0.72) and severe hypoglycemia requiring help of
third parties (18.1% vs. 25.6%, p = 0.25), respectively. LUR patients presented a
higher percentage of blood glucose monitoring measurements (≥ 4 tests/week) when compared
to patients with NUR (99.6% vs. 88.9%, p < 0.001). The mean DTSQs score (31.9 ± 7.3
vs. 30.3 ± 5.2, p = 0.07) and the mean GHQ-12 score (4.7 ± 2.4 vs.4.6 ± 2.5, p = 0.80)
were not different between LUR and NUR patients.
Conclusions: The use of long-acting insulin analogues did not add satisfaction or
hypoglycemia episodes reduction when compared to NPH insulin in adults with T1D already
in use of ultra-rapid acting insulin analogues. Support: FIPE-HCPA.

Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases in parallel
with obesity. After RYGB, obese patients with T2DM have improvement or reversal of
hyperglycemia before significant weight loss. Postoperative anatomical changes in
the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) may influence the gene expression of GIT tissues
and their production of hormones involved in glycemic homeostasis, such as glucagon-like
peptide 1 (GLP-1).
Objective: To correlate the gastrointestinal expression of GCG gene and GLP-1 plasma
levels with markers of glycemic homeostasis in obese patients with or without complete
remission of T2DM after 3 months of RYGB.
Methods: Gastrointestinal biopsies were obtained from 20 obese patients with T2DM
before and after 3 months of RYGB and submitted to global and target transcriptomic
analysis, by microarray and RT-qPCR techniques, respectively. GLP-1 and markers of
glycemic homeostasis were measured in blood, collected fasting and after food testing,
before and after 3 months of RYGB. After 1 year of RYGB, patients were classified
as responsive (R) and nonresponsive (NR) to total remission of T2DM. Statistical analysis
was performed by non-parametric tests. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by
trapezoidal rule, correlation analyzes were performed by Spearman test and association
between R and NR groups was performed by Mann–Whitney.
Results: After RYGB, there was a significant increase in GCG gene expression in all
segments maintained on GIT (Table 1) in parallel to increase in plasma concentration
after meal test (graph 1) < 0.05. GLP-1 AUC showed significant increase only in R
patients after 3 months of RYGB. There was a significant inverse correlation between
systemic concentrations of GLP-1 and HbA1c (Person = -0.581, p = 0.018).
Conclusion: Increased GLP-1 after RYGB occurred in parallel with increase in gastrointestinal
transcription and was inversely correlated with postoperative remission of T2DM in
obese women (Fig. 1).

Background: Familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) is characterized by insulin
resistance, adipose atrophy from the extremities, and truncal obesity. Due to the
resemblance with Cushing’s syndrome, we hypothesized a glucocorticoid (GC) role in
the pathogenesis of the metabolic abnormalities in FPLD2.
Objective and design: This prospective study, conducted at the Ribeirao Preto Medical
School University Hospital, aimed to evaluate the phenotypic heterogeneity and GC
sensitivity in 24 FPLD2 patients exhibiting LMNA mutations (p.R482W and p.R644C) and
24 matched controls.
Main outcome measures: Participants underwent anthropometric, body composition, metabolic
profile, and adipokines and cytokines measurements. Plasma and salivary cortisol were
measured in basal conditions and after 0.25, 0.5 and, 1.0 mg of dexamethasone (DEX)
given at 2300 h. Glucocorticoid receptor and 11βHSDisoforms expression were assessed
by qPCR.
Results: FPLD2 individuals presented increased waist and neckcircumferences, decreased
hip circumference, peripheral skinfold thickness and fat mass. Patients also presented
increased HOMA-IR and triglycerides, increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, and
decreased adiponectin and leptin levels. After 0.5 mg DEX, salivary cortisol was less
suppressed in FPLD2 patients. The clinical and biochemical phenotype was more pronounced
in patients harboring LMNAp.R482W mutation. No differences were observed in the expressions
of GRα, GRβ, 11βHSD1, and 11βHSD2.
Conclusions: FPLD2 patients exhibited phenotypic heterogeneity related to LMNA mutations.
Patients also showed less ability to suppress cortisol after 0.5 mg DEX, which was
the most effective dose to expose the spectral HPA axis sensitivity among groups.
Increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines might contribute to decreased GC sensitivity
in FPLD2.

Background: In Brazil, only 11.6% of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D)
reach the glycated hemoglobin (A1c) target of < 7%. Possibly, factors such as therapeutic
adherence (TA), quality of life (QOL), and hypoglycemia (HYPO) interact with each
other and negatively impact glycemic control. However, studies evaluating these associations
are scarce. Objective to evaluate glycemic control, prevalence of microvascular complications
(MICRO), and possible associations between the scores of questionnaires for evaluation
of TA, QOL, and HYPO in adults with T1D.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using questionnaires and secondary data
of 50 patients with T1D, aged 18-50 years, on regular medical follow-up. The study
was approved by the local ethics board (CAAE 57469816.7.0000.5266). All participants
signed the informed consent form and answered the Self-Care Inventory-revised (SCI-R;
score ranging from 14 to 70 points, the higher the score, the better the TA), the
Diabetes Quality of Life Measure (DQOL-8; score ranging from 8 to 40; the higher the
score, the worse the QOL), and the American Diabetes Association‘s Hypoglycemia questionnaire
(one point was assigned for each gradation of responses to the questionnaire questions).
The records of A1c values (last 03 months) and MICRO screening (last 12 months) were
collected from medical charts. The results were expressed as relative value (%), mean ± SD,
and median [p25–p75]. P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The sample had a mean age of 28.2 ± 9.1 years and a mean time of diagnosis
of 12.7 ± 7.7 years. Most of them were female (58%) and white (54%). Mean A1c was
8.4 ± 1.8%. There were 18% of retinopathy, 12% of albuminuria, and 6% of diabetic
neuropathy. Median scores on SCI-R and DQOL-8 were 48 [43.2–53] and 22.5 [19.2–26.7],
indicating modest TA and unsatisfactory QOL, respectively. A negative correlation
was found to SCI-R and DQOL-8 (r = − 0.42; P < 0.01). Considering the A1c, there was
a significant correlation to the DQOL-8 (r = 0.41; P < 0.01), a trend to an inverse
correlation to the SCI-R (r = − 0.27; P = 0.05), and no correlation to the HYPO‘s
questionnaire items.
Conclusions: Poor glycemic control, prevalent MICRO, modest TA, and unsatisfactory
QOL were found in this adult sample with T1D. The increase in TA correlated with better
QOL and a trend to lower A1c. Improvement in A1c was associated with improvement in
TA and there was no association between A1c and HYPO-related issues.

Introduction: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) system therapy maintains
the release of micro doses of insulin 24 h a day in a precise and pre-programmed way
to maintain stable glycemic control between meals and allows the release of insulin
in bolus before meals, in order to mimic the physiological secretion of insulin. Studies
have been shown efficacy, safety and improvement in the quality of life in patients
taking this therapy, but have not shown significant impact on A1c.
Objective: To compare the effects on glycemic control (A1c), weight, basal insulin
dose.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the medical records of
adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in the use of CSII in a follow-up
at the Diabetes outpatient clinic of a tertiary center. The glycemic control of the
patients was evaluated through the measurement of A1c, weight, total basal insulin
dose before and after CSII placement.
Results: In the year 2016, 1246 adult patients were treated in a tertiary Diabetes
center; from these, 12 are using CSII. 66.6% are female, mean age is 29 yo, with mean
time of diagnosis of 14.6 years. One patient has been in CSII since 2004; the majority
(n = 8) started use after 2014. Three patients were already using CSII when they came
for follow-up. Records of 7 patients had more complete data for analysis; 71% presented
with weight gain after starting CSII (average gain of 10.96%), 1 patient lost weight
and 1 maintained. In the analysis of 9 patients, 55% (n = 5) presented decrease of
12.76% in mean A1c, 3 patients a mean increase of 13.7%, and 1 maintained. The mean
A1c before CSII was 7.3% and current 7.1%. The mean basal insulin dose on CSII was
26.44 IU. No one patient had diabetic ketoacidosis or skin infections in the cannulae
or sensor placement during the use of CSII.
Conclusion: According to previous studies, patients who already have good glycemic
control, the use of CSII did not have a great impact on the reduction of A1C. Our
study has shown that patients presented weight gain in use of CSII despite the reduction
of the basal insulin dose. Our challenges for the future: to avoid weight gain; better
medical records (already in progress); to keep patients motivated to use the resources
available in CSII (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of remote surveillance
on glycemic control in diabetic patients and to evaluate their opinions about this
new technology. Two questions to be answered: (1) Telemedicine monitoring can improve
outcomes in diabetes? (2) What is the patient point of view about telemedicine?
Methods: 20 diabetes mellitus type I or II patients were recruited from a private
clinic in a upper-middle class region—Copacabana—in Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. The
patients was classified by education level, social class, age, sex, and type of diabetes
and if they use insulin or not user, limited in 25% of total population recruited.
Was used specific glucometers provided by the sponsor to transmit wireless the results
by modems using a cellular internet provider to a Medical Center. The Medical Center
staff was; 2 doctors, 1 nurse and 3 technicians in nursing. Patients had their glucose
level followed by internet site during the 80-day studies. Was defined the hyperglycemia
or hypoglycemia level defined by the patient medical assistant, the nursing team inform
by email or telephone the glucose level out of medical assistant parameters, that
will be responsible to the medical decision conduct. The surveys were conducted in
3 different times, beginning, day 40th and at the end (with a window of 7 days).
Results: During the study 4,111 registered glucose measurements was stored and analyzed.
During the study, 3 patients was excluded, one decided to dropped and two other diabetic
due to no protocol compliance. The 3,696 glucose measures validate were calculated
and analyzed. These results show that there were no statistical differences in the
blood glucose levels of diabetic patients monitored by telemedicine when compared
the begging period, from the 1st to 40th day with the final period, from day 41 to
study end. The total period of study was 86 days. This study showed that our methodology
applied to monitoring the glucose level from DM patients by telemedicine using Internet-based
intervention, have not influence in the glycemic control of diabetic patients type
I or II. The patient opinion surveys show that the patients older than 50 years (61%
of total), in the beginning period, believed that the telemedicine could improve the
glicemic control, and 67% answered that the telemedicine would take care of him, 62%
of recruited would take part of the study even if their doctors did not invite him;
only 5% declared felt watched (spying), 76% found them useful have a personal staff
contacts to notify changes of glucose, 42% did not access the site, 58% preferred
“send” the glucose levels once a day, 89% would recommend to other patients to use
telemedicine. Concerned to others possibilities to be applied; 89% suggested include
pressure control, 68% suggested weight control. In the study closer survey, 74% found
that after the study, the methodology, applied (telemedicine using an internet-based
intervention) was beneficial; 53% of patients are willing to pay for the service.
The pilot study in telemedicine to private clinic DM patients answered two major questions
proposed as the primary goal: Question (1): Telemedicine monitoring can improve outcomes
in diabetes? Answer: No. Remark; the monitoring alone does not improve diabetes control.
This monitoring may be associated with patient continuous motivational programs. Question
(2): What is the patient point of view about telemedicine monitoring? Answer: Yes.
Remark; Diabetics patients are open to use this technology because they feel care
and do not feel spied. The patient survey shows that the Telemedicina could be recommend
to others diabetics and a half of them are willing to pay for such services.
Discussion: This result may be due to the few medical interventions performed during
the study, limited only to the serious cases of hyper-or hypoglycemia. We also understand
that “not just monitoring diabetic’s glucose level”, but it is also necessary to include
dynamic and motivational actions to have a better improvement of glycemic control
in DM. More studies in this specific health care technology must be conducted in order
to have better way to achieve the patient quality of live improvement associated to
the cost decline.

Introduction: Currently, diabetes mellitus is considered as one of the main chronic
diseases that affect man. It is a universal health problem, affecting all socioeconomic
classes and affecting populations of countries at all stages of development. Its complications
have an increasing impact on quality of life and mortality. The effects of regular
physical activity on health have been widely documented. The association between physical
inactivity and insulin resistance was first suggested in 1945, and since then new
epidemiological studies have emerged demonstrating its relation with the presence
of cardiovascular risk factors. On the other hand, physical exercise programs have
shown efficacy in glycemic control, values of plasma lipids and consequently the Body
Mass Index (BMI) of these individuals.
Objective: To analyze the effect of regular physical exercise of 36 weeks on glycemic
control, plasma lipids and BMI in type 2 diabetic subjects from a Health Unit in the
interior of São Paulo.
Methods: Metabolic variables were analyzed by fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol,
HDL and LDL and BMI, which were recorded in the medical records of these patients
(n = 25). The instruments used were the fasting blood test for laboratory evaluation
and the anthropometric measurement (weight and height). The experimental treatment
was a 36-week physical exercise program, three sessions per week with 50 min duration.
Each session was divided as follows: 5 min of warming up with stretching exercises
of MMSS and MMII and circumference of limbs and trunk; 35 min of walking and/or water
aerobics and 10 min of cooling with stretching exercises and breathing and relaxation
techniques. For the statistical analysis, the paired T test was used.
Results: The following mean values were obtained before and after physical training:
146.93 (+ 52.21) mg/dl and 121.16 (+ − 63.57) mg/dl for fasting glycemia; 215.96 (+ − 78.62)
mg/dl and 195.05 (+ − 103.29) mg/dl for plasma lipids; 30.65 (+ − 15.79) kg/cm and
28.29 (+ − 11.16) kg/cm for BMI.
Conclusion: These results allow us to conclude that physical exercise is of great
importance in the metabolic control, lipid profile and nutritional status of individuals
with diabetes, improving these parameters.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent disease in the elderly
population and they are at high risk of hypoglycemia (HYPO). Insulin degludec has
been suggested to have both lower risk of hypoglycemia and less glycemic variability
(GV). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate GV and hypoglycemia comparing
insulin degludec (Ideg) to insulin glargine U100 (Iglar) as a basal insulin for elderly
patients with T2DM.
Secondary objectives: Evaluation of duration and number of hypos (total, nocturnal
and severe) and the total insulin daily dose (TDD) in each group.
Methods: It is a pilot study with ten patients during six weeks, randomized, prospective,
controlled and open label trial. Inclusion criteria: T2DM, age over 60 years, A1C
from 7 to 10%, use of NPH insulin with or without oral antidiabetic drugs. Patients
were randomized 1:1 to receive once daily Ideg (n = 5) or Iglar‐U100 (n = 5) before
breakfast time. They were evaluated for glucose variability (GV) and HYPOs by continuous
glucose monitoring (CGM) after 2 weeks of treatment with either insulin.
Results: They are expressed in median (minimum–maximum). GV had no difference in 24‐h
mean glucose between groups (Ideg = 168 (151–206) vs Iglar = 169 (138–193) mg/dL.
P = 0.84) as well as the standard deviation from the mean (Ideg 69 (42– 83) vs Iglar
45 (41–66). P = 0.22). Overall HYPOs were similar in both groups (Table 1). The TDD
(U/kg/dia) were similar in the beginning between groups [Ideg = 0.38 (0.12–0.59) vs
Iglar = 0.21 (0.15–0.53). p = 0.69) as well as at the end of the trial (Ideg 0.36
(0.12–0.55) vs Iglar 0.24 (0.18–0.54). P = 0.54]. Comparing the two methods used for
monitoring the blood glucose (GCM or self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)) we found
that CGMS was able to detect more HYPOs than SMBG for the total HYPOs (SMBG = 12 vs
CGM = 20. P = 0.03) and nocturnal (SMBG = 2 vs CGM = 11. P = 0.02). 40% of the total
number of HYPOs and 81% of the nocturnal HYPOs were missed when using SMBG instead
of CGMS. More than 50% of HYPOs occurred during the night (Figs. 1, 2).
Conclusion: Both groups showed similar rates of GV, number and duration of HYPOs.
There was no difference regarding the TDD between groups at the end of the study.
A higher number of total and nocturnal HYPOs were diagnosed by CGM compared to SMBG.
As a pilot study, its major limitation is the small number of patients and the short
period of the trial.

Background: Data in recent literature suggest that the daily fluctuations on the blood
levels of glucose may play an important role in both glycemic control and the development
of complications in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). In consequence, glycemic variability
(GV), a variable defined by the quantification of daily glycemic oscillations through
specific methodologies and calculations, was created. In parallel, the relationship
and potential benefits of 25-OH-Vitamin D (VD) have been explored, with studies demonstrating
an effect of VD on insulin resistance, pancreatic beta cell function and on the immunological
pathways of T1DM. It is suggested that VD may be important both in the etiology of
T1DM and in glycemic control. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the relationship
between GV and VD in patients with T1DM.
Methods: We evaluated the serum levels of VD and the GV of 22 patients. For assessing
the GV, all patients were submitted to the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS),
for an average of 3 days.
Results: We found that patients with VD deficiency had higher GV when compared to
patients with normal levels of this hormone (p < 0.01). Additionally, a correlation
was found between the VD status (normal or deficient levels) with the GV (r = 0.5;
p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our pilot study was the first to associate VD and GV. Studies
with more patients are needed in order to confirm our results, and further establish
the relationship between VD and GV.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, mainly visceral obesity,
have been associated with a low grade inflammatory state and immune system activation.
Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute-phase protein that primarily scavenges the hemoglobin
(Hb) released into circulation, either by hemolysis or by normal red blood cell turnover,
preventing Hb-related oxidative damage. Hp is mainly synthesized by hepatocytes and
by non-hepatic cells, including adipocytes.
Objective: To evaluated the association between Hp levels with Hp1-Hp2 polymorphism,
clinical and laboratorial parameters in T2DM patients.
Methods: We evaluated 102 patients with clinical and laboratorial diagnosis of T2DM
and 62 age-, gender-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched non-diabetic control. Hp levels
were measured in EDTA plasma samples using Quantikine® ELISA Human Haptoglobin Immunoassay
(R&D Systems, USA) by ELISA method. Molecular analyzes of Hp1-Hp2 polymorphism were
performed by specific twostep allelic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Statistical
analysis was performed with SPSS (version 17.0) using Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney,
Student t test, and qui-square test with residual analysis. A p value < 0.05 was considered
statistically significant.
Results: Hp levels were higher in the T2DM group [1.15 (0.52) g/L] when compared with
control group [0.88 (0.58) g/L—p = 0.005]. Hypertensives T2DM patients exhibited higher
Hp levels (1.19 ± 0.46 g/L) when compared with normotensives patients (0.80 ± 0.26 g/L—p = 0.021).
Obese T2DM patients (1.27 ± 0.47 g/L) showed higher Hp levels than obese controls
(0.95 ± 0.40 g/L—p = 0.009) and non-obese patients (1.00 ± 0.41 g/L—p = 0.003). Hp-Hp1
genotype showed association with T2DM according additive (OR = 3.038, IC 95% 1.127–8.192;
p = 0.036) and dominant (OR = 0.320, IC 95% 0.118–0.839; p = 0.010) inheritance models.
Considering these inheritance models, it was verified that Hp levels are lower in
Hp2 allele carriers (p = 0.001 and p = 0.020).
Conclusion: These results suggest that Hp levels are associated with T2DM physiopathology
and are influenced by Hp1-Hp2 polymorphism, obesity, and hypertension.

Background: The safety and efficacy profiles of IDeg, a long-acting basal insulin
analog, were evaluated in the BEGIN program. This review reports comparative glycemic
control, hypoglycemia, and insulin dose profiles of IDeg vs Gla-100, focusing only
on basal-oral treatment trials in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) from the BEGIN program.
Method: HbA1c, FPG, confirmed (< 56 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycemia, and insulin dose
data (including dose increase needed for a 1.0% HbA1c decrease) from the selected
BEGIN trials (n = 4) comparing IDeg and Gla-100 in people with T2DM on basal-oral
treatment were reviewed.
Results: HbA1c reduction with IDeg was non-inferior vs Gla-100, although, consistently,
a greater (non-significant) reduction with Gla-100 was seen in each trial (Table 1A).
FPG reduction was greater with IDeg. Rates of confirmed (< 56 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycemia
at any time (over 24 h) were similar with IDeg and Gla 100, but were lower with IDeg
during the nighttime (Table 1A). Absolute insulin dose increases tended to be greater
with Gla 100; however, when adjusted for a 1.0% HbA1c reduction, they were more frequently
higher with IDeg (Table 1B).
Conclusion: In studies of IDeg vs Gla-100 in people with T2DM on basal-oral treatment
from the BEGIN program, HbA1c reduction was slightly greater with Gla-100 while rates
of hypoglycemia were either similar (hypoglycemia at any time) or lower (nocturnal
hypoglycemia) with IDeg. Insulin dose requirements, when adjusted for 1.0% HbA1c reduction,
were generally higher with IDeg vs Gla-100. This is an ENCORE abstract previously

Introduction: Literacy in health and in nutrition is the degree to which individuals
are able to obtain, process, and understand basic health and nutrition information
and guidelines necessary to make appropriate decisions regarding their treatment.
Objective: To assess the degree of literacy in health and nutrition and its associations
with the therapy, the glycemic control and the nutritional status of adults with type
1 diabetes.
Methodology: Participated in the study 47 adults of both sexes, that were regularly
attended in a school hospital. Participation on study was voluntary after the signing
of the Informed Consent Term. The project is approved by the Ethics and Research Committee.
The collected data were related to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics,
treatment, glycemic control, body mass index and waist circumference. The degree of
literacy in health and nutrition was valued by validated instruments, the S-TOFHLA[1]
and the NVS-BR[2]. The association was analyzed by Chi square test, with a significance
level of 5%.
Results: The participants had a mean age of 27 years (SD 0.04), the majority were
female (66%) and with a high school education (64%). The predominant monthly household
income was up to two minimum wages (66%) and only 74.5% had sanitary sewage. The mean
age at diagnosis was 10 years (SD 0.01) and 40.4% of the participants reported already
had some complication due to diabetes. Few participants (21%) still used human insulin,
but almost all of them (96%) rotated the fields of insulin application. The mean capillary
glycemia was 178 mg/dL (SD 85.25), the median fasting was 164 mg/dL (67–454) and the
median of HbA1c was 8.5% (4.1–18). Overweight was prevalent in 19% of participants
and cardiovascular risk, measured by waist circumference, in 22%. Most of the participants
(83%) presented inadequate or borderline health and nutrition literacy. The characteristics
of gender, schooling and income were not associated to literacy in health and nutrition,
as well as to variables anthropometric. Health literacy influenced the worst glycemic
control evaluated by fasting glycemia.
Conclusion: The study participants presented inadequate literacy in health and nutrition,
and the low health literacy influenced on the weak glycemic control.

Background: The treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is complex and includes
insulin injections, dose adjustments, glycemic monitoring, carbohydrate counting and
physical activity. The management of these competences is essential for adherence
and glycemic control. Health literacy assesses the reading and understanding of health
information and decisionmaking. Diabetes-related stress (DD) can cause burnout and
negatively impact selfcare. Both literacy and DD affect adherence to treatment.
Objective: To evaluate the levels of health literacy and DD in T1DM patients and the
impact on adherence to treatment and glycemic control.
Methods: We studied 90 patients with T1DM, 18 years of age and over, both sexes. Questionnaires:
standard for clinical, laboratorial and sociodemographic data; Test of Functional
Healty Literacy in Adults-STOFHLA for literacy; Brief Medication Questionnaire-BMQ
for adhesion and Problem Area in Diabetes-B-PAID for DD. The patients participated
in the research after signing the consent form approved by CEP-UNICAMP.
Results: 90 diabetics patients type 1, 68.8% women, age 33.9 year ± 11.4; glycated
hemoglobin (HbA1C) 9% ± 2.1, T1DM time 19.2 year ± 9.3. 86.6% presented adequate literacy,
6.6% marginal and 6.6% inappropriate. The average score of PAID was 42.1 ± 25.2 and
53% of scores were >=40 (high stress). BMQ: adherence/likely adhesion in 52.2% e non-adherence/likely
low adhesion in 47.7%. Statistically significant factors in univariate regression-related
adherence were: PAID (p = 0.04 OR = 1.02) and arterial hypertension (p = 0.04 OR = 2.66
for presence). When we analyzed the domain regimen of the BMQ for non-adhesion by
univariate regression, we obtained: age p = 0.009 OR = 1.05 for older age, marital
status p = 0.020 OR = 4.22 for married, arterial hypertension p = 0.004 OR = 4.16
for presence, dyslipidemia p = 0.010 OR = 3.50 for presence, occupation p = 0.004
OR = 5.08 for non-occupancy. The multivariate regression, Stepwise selection criterion,
showed that variables related to non-adherence were: marital status p = 0.005 OR = 5.05
for married, arterial hypertension p = 0.005 OR = 6.86 for presence, retinopathy p = 0.042
OR = 4.08 for absence, occupation p = 0.005 OR = 6.72 for nonoccupancy. HbA1C was
not associated with literacy, adherence and DD.
Conclusion: Health literacy is adequate in most T1DM and more than half of them have
high DD. High scores of PAID, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, marital status,
non-retinopathy and non-occupancy were associated with non-adherence, all of which
except PAID were independent risk factors for worsening adherence to T1DM treatment.

Case presentation: Woman, 60 years old, diagnosed at 59 years old with type 2 diabetes
(T2DM), high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. Was using pre-mixed insulin 25/75 (0.67 U/Kg)
without the proper control and reported that she had been experiencing tremor-like
involuntary movements on the left side of her body for the past week. At the exam,
showed choreiform movements on the left side of her body, facial dyskinesia and faster
blinking on the left, no other neurological deficits. Laboratorial exams revealed
a HbA1C level of 16.7% and fasting blood glucose (FBG) 384 mg/dL, no other changes.
Was hospitalized, and latter exams showed HbA1c 12%, FBG 122 md/dL, urine tests showed
no ketones, no other changes. Cranial resonance showed T1-hypersignal in correspondence
with right side putamen nucleus, suggesting neurotoxicity by non-ketotic hyperglycemia.
During treatment, there was remission in the neurological state after glycemic control
and the introduction of haloperidol and baclofen. After release, the patient remained
asymptomatic, using regular and NPH insulins (0.56U/Kg) and metformin (1000 mg/day),
without haloperidol and baclofen, and the last results showed a HbA1c level of 5.8%.
Discussion: The occurrence of hemichorea-hemiballism is characterized by involuntary
movements on one side of the body and is usually the product of structural lesions
in the contralateral subtalamic nucleus and striatum, side effects of vascular events
and, less often, associated to metabolic, neoplastic or infectious causes. The neurological
findings presented related to non-ketotic hyperglycemia and the involvement of basal
nuclei configure a rare T2DM complication. The hypothesis is that hyperglycemia followed
by cerebral hypoperfusion and the emergence of anaerobic metabolism reduces the GABA
levels, which results in dysfunction of the basal ganglia. The case shows an unusual
manifestation of T2DM, reinforcing the importance of early recognition and treatment
of the syndrome. The prognosis is good and the adequate glycemic control is the basis
of the treatment, it is often times enough to solve the symptoms. However, the treatment
through the use of neuroleptics, benzodiazepines or antiepileptics might be necessary.
Conclusion: This is a case of non-ketotic hemichorea-hemiballism in a patient with
poorly controlled T2DM, showing a complete recovery of its signals and symptoms after
the normalization of glycemic levels.

Introduction: Glycemic variability (GV) correlates directly with the microvascular
complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM)
demonstrates efficacy in improving glycated hemoglobin and reducing hypoglycemia in
patients with T1D.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of heterologous adipose
tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) of healthy donors + daily cholecalciferol
(VIT D) in patients with recent-onset T1D, and the effects on glycemic variability
indexes.
Methods: 1. ADMSCs extraction • This is a prospective, randomized, open trial, in
which patients with T1D of short duration were randomized to receive heterologous
MSCs derived from adipose tissue in a single infusion plus daily oral cholecalciferol
(2.000UI). • Adipose tissue samples were obtained from liposuction and processed and
cultivated in culture medium chemically defined for MSCs. 2. Patients selection •
Patients with T1D were included, between 15 and 35 years and GAD antibody (+). • All
patients were diagnosed with T1D 4 months or less at the time of MSCs infusion. •
Exclusion criteria: Diabetic ketoacidosis, drugs that interfere in immune response,
pregnancy, malignant neoplasms, HIV (+), Hepatitis B or C. 3. ADMSCs infusion • The
ADMSCs were infused in a single dose in peripheral vein (kg x 106). 4. Daily oral
cholecalciferol supplementation (2.000UI) 5. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) •
Data analysis of 72 h CGM (Ipro Medtronic) was performed in 6 T1D patients, assessed
at baseline (T0), and 3(T3) months after the ADMSCs infusion. All patients received
standardized dietary guidance according to the American Diabetes Association. • Descriptive
analysis were made and the following GV indexes were calculated: mean, standard deviation
(SD), J-Index, M-value, glycemic risk assessment in diabetes equation (GRADE), high
blood glucose index (HBGI), low blood glucose index (LBGI), mean amplitude of glucose
excursions (MAGE). Mann–Whitney test were used to compare results at baseline and
after follow-up with statistic significance of p < 0.05. Specific formula were used
to calculate the GV indexes.
Results: Six patients received ADMSCs infusion and completed 3 months follow-up. Table 1
describes the patients baseline characteristics. The mean blood glucose detected in
CGM was 5534 mmol/L (T0), and 5848 mmol/L (T3) (p 0.602). There was a significant
reduction in SD of glycemias 3 months after the infusion (TO = 1.929, T3 = 0.934,
p 0.037). For the other GV indexes no significant difference was found between groups.
All patients presented an excellent glycemic control, with the following frequency:
hypoglycemia (TO 2%, T3 0.7%), hyperglycemia (T0 12.2%, T3 8.3%), and normoglycemia
(T0 85.8%, T3 91%).
Discussion: In patients with T1D, infusion of heterologous ADMSCs + oral VIT D improved
blood glucose SD, suggesting that this intervention has some impact on β cell function.
Although the intervention did not result in any improvement in the other GV indexes,
all patients presented excellent glycemic control. It is still necessary a control
group without intervention and a longer follow up of these patients to better define
the effect of ADMSCs infusion in pancreatic function (Fig. 1, 2, 3).

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of heterologous adipose
tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) of healthy donors + daily cholecalciferol
(VIT D) in patients with recent-onset T1D.
Methods: In this prospective open trial, patients with recent-onset T1D received a
single infusion of heterologous ADMSCs (Kg body weight x 106 cells) + daily oral VIT
D (2.000UI). Adipose tissue samples were obtained from liposuction, processed and
cultivated in medium chemically defined for ADMSCs. Patients with T1D for < 4 months,
age between 16 and 35 years old and GAD antibody (+) were included. HbA1c, basal and
stimulated C-peptide (CP) after a mixed meal, insulin dose, adverse events and Foxp3
expression in CD4 + cells were assessed at baseline (T0), after 1(T1) and 3 months
(T3). T tests were used to compare results at baseline and after follow-up. The study
was approved by the Ethics Board Federal University of Rio de Janeiro/HUCFF.
Results: Six patients received infusion of ADMSCs. Their mean age was 27 ± 7.7 y/o
and 3 were males. VIT D levels were 30.4 ± 12.8 ng/ml, e 38.3 ± 6.9 ng/ml e 47.9 ± 8.5 ng/ml.
Basal CP basal was 0.8 ± 0.4 ng/dl, CP T1 = 0.9 +/0.5 ng/dl and CP T3 = 0.7 ± 0.3 ng/dl(p = 0.51).
CP peak after stimuli was: T0 = 2.9 ± 1.3 ng/dl, T1 = 3.2 ± 1.9 and T3 = 2.6 ± 1.5 ng/dl(p = 0.51).HbA1c
before intervention,T1 and T3 were, respectivelly,7.8 ± 1.26%, 6.6 ± 0.85% e 6.1 ± 0.42
(p = 0.06). Mean insulin dose (T0) was 0.32 ± 0.29U/kg initially, after 1 and 3 months
was 0.28 ± 0.22U/kg and 0.25 ± 0.17 U/kg, respectivelly. There was an inverse correlation
between peak CP and HbA1c on T3 (p0,03,r = -0,84). FoxP3 expression in CD4(+) T cells
were 1.46 ± 1.47% on T0, 2.27 ± 3.36% on T1 and 3.31 ± 3.29 on T3, p = 0.89. Immediate
adverse events were: transient headache (n = 6), mild local reactions (n = 6), tachycardia
(n = 4), abdominal cramps (n = 1). Within the first week, 4 patients developed local
thrombophlebitis and 2 had visual scotomas.
Conclusion: In patients with T1D, infusion of heterologous ADMSCs + oral VIT D is
feasible and appears to be safe. Although the intervention did not result in any improvement
in CP, insulin dose or Hb1c after three months, patients presented excellent glycemic
control, preserved β cell function and low insulin requirements after the intervention.
A prospective follow up will determine the ADMSCs effect on the pancreatic function.

Case: Child, 4 years old, female, with clinical diagnosis of CGL type 2 and diagnosis
of diabetes for 1 year. At 4 years of age, using Glargina and Lispro insulin basal/bolus
(5.1 IU/kg/day) presented mean daily capillary glycemia above 600 mg/dl, associated
with irritability, low weight and voracious appetite. Interned for intravenous insulin
therapy and nutritional adjustment with standardized diet of 1600 kcal/day fractionated
in 7 meals. Initiated continuous infusion of regular insulin (RI), 6.1UI/kg/day. Progressive
dose adjustments were made, mean increase of 1UI/kg/day, to 26.6 IU/kg/day, were divided
into 3 different basal (6 h at 12 h 1.18 IU/kg/h, 12 h at midnight 1.28 IU/kg/h and
1.01 IU/kg/h from midnight to 6 h), reaching a mean capillary glycemia of 283 ± 99 mg/dl.
Subsequently, it was modified to intramuscular administration, in 5 application times,
without differences in glycemic averages. On the 36 th day, Degludeca insulin was
introduced (9.3 IU/kg/day) associated with RI (18.2 U/kg/day), evolving within the
first 24 h with improved glycemia (180 ± 42 mg/dl). After this period, the blood glucose
level was 232.6 ± 74.7 mg/dl and the bolus was increased to 23.7 UI/kg/day, maintaining
a blood glucose level of 260 ± 79 ml/dl. After approximately fivefold increase in
the initial insulin dose, there was improvement in glycemia, irritability, weight
gain and decreased appetite.
Discussion: CGL is characterized by loss of body fat and its deposition in atypical
sites, predisposing to the development of insulin resistance (IR) and its complications
such as DM, hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic steatosis. In CGL, IR is more severe,
using high doses of insulin that often do not guarantee adequate control. It is possible
that the scarcity of subcutaneous(SC) tissue makes it difficult for the insulins action
that need this substrate to metabolize. Degludeca, because in its mechanism of action
the formation of complex multihexamers with slow and continuous release of monomers
in the blood circulation and its distribution in the circulation due to high affinity
with serum albumin could be a treatment option for patients with lipodystrophy, providing
better therapeutic response.
Final comments: Reported child with LGG and severe RI who presented clinical improvement
with the use of very high doses of insulin. Due to the significant reduction of SC
tissue, insulins with an independent mechanism of release of this tissue seem to be
an option in the therapy in these patients.

Introduction: The Diabetes Care Line (DCL) is a specialized interdisciplinary service
that treats patients with comorbidities and some degree of diabetes mellitus (DM)
decompensation and/or chronic complications, articulating resources and practices
guided by clinical guidelines.
Objective: To describe clinical and sociodemographic´s profile in referred patients
to a DCL in Fortaleza-CE, Brasil.
Method: Descriptive, quantitative study, conducted from March to July 2017, through
the analysis of medical records. The study was approved by the Institution‘s Ethics
and Research Committee Nº. 1.956.803 e CAAE: 64549817.0.0000.5045.
Results: The sample consisted of 66 patients, with a mean age of 64.0 ± 9.7 years,
54.5% (36) of the female sex. 53.1% (35) were married, 21.2% (14) single and 18.2%
(12) widowers (Table 1). As for schooling, 25.8% (17) had incomplete elementary education,
19.7% (13) complete elementary education, 18.2% (12) complete secondary education
and 16.7% (11) were literate. type 2 DM, 92.4% (61), 4.5% (3) with type 1 DM and 3.1%
(2) with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) based on clinical history. The
time of diagnosis of DM was 14.5 ± 7.6 years. Dyslipidemia was present in 92.4% (61),
systemic arterial hypertension in 84.4% (56), cardiovascular disease in 56.1% (37)
and obesity in 42.4% (28). Regarding complications, diabetes renal disease was present
in 31.8% (21), peripheral neuropathy in 54.5% (36), diabetic retinopathy in 28.7%
(19) and diabetic foot in 13.6% (9).
Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of comorbidities and complications related
to DM in the population referred to the DCL. These data may suggest the need for prior
referrals from non-specialized services, with a view to better control of the disease
and comorbidities, as well as prevention or delay of complications (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Psychiatric disorders in patients with type 1 diabetes may interfere
with the quality of care and increase the risk of acute and chronic complications.
Aim: To establish the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and drug abuse in a population
of patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus regularly followed in a specialized
public health center of the south of Brazil.
Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective study. We reviewed clinical and laboratory
variables from patients’ medical records, and we applied a questionnaire to evaluate
drug use and anxiety disorder and PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaires for the diagnosis
of depression. Patients older than ten years with, at least, one medical appointment
in the last year were included. All patients signed an informed consent form. The
study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our institution.
Results: Fifty-four patients with a mean age of 26 years, 52% men, with a median diabetes
duration of 9 years, were evaluated. Of these, 5 (9.3%) smoked, 14 (25.9%) drinked
alcohol, 2 (3.7%) used illicit drugs, 28 (51.9%) had at least one psychiatric illness,
26 (48.1%) had anxiety and 12 (22.2%) a diagnose of depression. The prevalence of
diabetic nephropathy (60% vs 12.5%, p = 0.002), macrovascular disease (25% vs 4.7%,
p = 0.033), peripheral neuropathy (50% vs 4.7%, p < 0.001) and diabetic retinopathy
(41.6% vs 4.7%, p = 0.001) were higher in patients with depression when compared to
patients without the disease. Regarding acute complications, there was no difference
in diabetic ketoacidosis episodes (p = 0.661) between groups. However, 66.6% of the
patients with depression had severe hypoglycemia in comparison to 19% of the control
group (p = 0.001). When evaluating patients with anxiety, there was no statistical
significance between the groups for acute and chronic complications.
Conclusion: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders and drug abuse was extremely high
in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Depression was associated with an increase
in acute events and chronic complications related to diabetes.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disease characterized
by severely elevated LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels that lead to an increased risk
factor for cardiovascular disease an early age. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is
an additional cardiovascular risk which can also occur in FH patients. International
studies described the prevalence of T2DM less than 10% among FH patients. But in Brazil,
few studies reported the prevalence of T2DM among FH. The objective of this study
was to describe the prevalence of T2DM among FH participants from a genetic screening
program for FH.
Method: A cross-sectional study of patients evaluated in “Active Genetic Screening
Program for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Ceará” - HIPERCOL CEARÁ” in a referral
medical service in Ceará-Brazil from 2013 to 2017. The screened subjects had a LDL-cholesterol
levels above 210 mg/d. A molecular study was also performed for gene mutation analysis
(LDL receptor, ApoB protein and inhibitor protein PSK9). The first-degree relatives
(FDR) of genetic confirmed cases were also evaluated.
Results: Among the 122 participants evaluated, 19.7% (24/122) was previously diagnosed
for T2DM. Of these the mean age was 57.8 (± 12.4) and 83,3% was female. The genetic
study was positive in 27.9% (34) of the patients. All of them presented LDL receptor
gene mutation In this subgroup, the T2DM prevalence was 20.8%. Of these, 87.5% were
the index cases.
Conclusion: It was observed a high prevalence of T2DM in patients with clinical diagnosis
of FH, specially the index cases. Other studies are needed, but these data may suggest
the need for early detection of T2DM among FH patients. Ethics Approval This study
was performed according Good Clinical Practices Guidelines. The HIPERCOL program has
ethical approval (3757/12/013) and all patients given an informed consent form.

Background: Childhood obesity is already considered a worldwide public health problem
and its etiopathogeny is based on a low-grade chronic inflammatory process induced
by cellular hypoxia and release of cytokines with hepatic C-reactive protein production
[1].
Objective: To establish the importance of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP)
as main biomarker of cardiometabolic risk in obese children and adolescents.
Materials and methods: Study involving a case group (CG) with 235 children and adolescents
(128 girls and 107 boys) with a body mass index (BMI) above the 97th percentile and
a Z-score greater than + 3, mean age of 10.0 ± 2.5 years. The control group consisted
of 107 (GCc) nonobese children (55 girls and 52 boys), mean age of 10.0 ± 2.3 years.
The HSCRP, fasting glucose, total cholesterol and fractions (HDL-c, LDL-c), triglycerides
and homocysteine were evaluated.
Results: The HSCRP showed a mean value of 2.36 ± 1.28 mg/dl (0.7–9.1- IC: 0.7–9.1-95%)
in the GC, and 0.01 ± 0, 1 mg/dl (0.01-0.1-IC: 0.01–0.1-95%) in the GCc. In the GC
group, the HSCRP levels were higher in boys. The BMI and waist circumference were
elevated in CG in relation to GCc (P = 0.0001). The changes in fasting blood glucose
levels (P = 0.05), total cholesterol (P = 0.001), LDL (P = 0.001), HDL (P = 0.0001)
and triglycerides (P = 0.0001) were statistically in the CG. Homocysteine did not
show statistically significant changes in GC.
Conclusion: The HSCRP can be validated as the main biomarker of cardiometabolic risk
in obese children and adolescents.

Introduction: Glucagonoma is a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor derived from alpha-cells
of the islets of Langerhans. It is marked by tumoral autonomous production of glucagon,
resulting in hyperglycemia and necrolytic migratory erythema (ENM), erythematous circinate
lesion with areas of necrosis and sloughing. The incidence is 0.01–0.1 new cases per
100,000 people.
Case report: ISS, female, 39 years old, hospitalized in 2015 for investigation of
cholestatic syndrome associated with pancreatic mass of 51x48 mm evidenced on abdominal
tomography (15/05/03). The patient underwent corpocaudal pancreatectomy and total
splenectomy, with free surgical margins, but with angiolymphatic invasion. Anatomopathology
showed well differentiated pancreatic endocrine carcinoma. The patient received chemotherapy
with gemcitabine which was replaced by Folfirinox. However, after 1 year without medical
follow-up, she returned presenting weight loss, cutaneous disseminated lesions in
the upper and lower limbs (Fig. 1), trunk and genitalia, angular cheilitis, macroglossia,
deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs and glycemia above 400 mg/dl. Figure 1:
Cutaneous disseminated lesions It was used several antimicrobial regimens to treat
skin lesions, unsuccessful, and performed biopsies of the skin, that diagnosis psoriasiform
spongious dermatitis. The case was referred to the endocrinology departament and we
did the diagnosis of glucagonoma, based on the symptoms and skin lesions, confirmed
by pancreatic glucagon levels of 722 pg/ml (reference value < 208 pg/ml). During monitoring,
the pacient presented a sudden decrease in the level of consciousness, initially associated
with hypoglycemia (52 mg/dl), sodium of 117 mEq/l and potassium of 7.4 mEq/l, without
improvement with endovenous correction. We considered diagnosis hypothesis of adrenal
insufficiency and after offered hydrocortisone, it was observed improvement in her
condition in 24 h. The skin lesions were treated with zinc vitamin supplement and
Octreotide, that was effective in reducing the number and extent of lesions, as well
as reducing insulin doses.The patient is currently undergoing outpatient follow-up
maintaining the use of zinc, prednisone, Octreotide and insulin with adequate glycemic
control.
Conclusion: The necrolytic migratory erythema associated with hyperglycemia is important
for the clinical recognition of glucagonoma, and its early diagnosis is essential
for a successful curative therapy. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from
the patient (Fig. 1).

A199 How to extend and evaluate self-care behavior in the patient with type 1 diabetes
mellitus

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) is a chronic disease that needs specific knowledge
and skills for self-care. Brazil’s health system provides insulin analogues for better
posology and adaptation. According to the 11.347 (2006) law, the right for supplies
must be coupled with diabetes education. The absence of this important element is
probably one reason for unsatisfactory glycemic controls. In this project, we created
an educational method using a motivational approach with groups, aiming to improve
DM1 selfmanagement. The motivational approach differentiates itself by helping the
patient to understand his/her ambivalence and to define his/her own goal, as well
as creating motivation for a lifestyle change based on the interest of health and
the patient’s own values. It has a practical focus, using the techniques of problem
solving, goal setting and exploration of the patient’s personal reasons for making
a change, and a non-confrontational style of questioning. The team had previous training
in the technique of motivational interview as to apply this approach in four group
sessions once a month. These sessions consisted of providing general knowledge and
information about diabetes and its self-care in a participatory and dynamic manner,
with an exchange of experiences among the participants. For the approach to be motivational,
some guiding principles are essential: empathy, open-ended questions, reflective listening,
working with patients’ ambivalence and resistance, as well as the construction of
intrinsic motivation and confidence towards change. Activities such as the identification
of personal values, the definition of action-oriented plans, the evaluation of the
success and difficulty of each plan, the setting of goals and the metric of importance
and confidence help delineate this method. It is possible to evaluate the impact of
an educational activity using this approach by applying the Diabetes Self-Management
Profile (DSMP) before and after the activities. The DSMP is a new and specific instrument
for evaluating DM1 patients’ self-care, with psychometric properties validated in
the Portuguese language. Compared to other questionnaires it has less bias in its
application, due to the introduction that “normalizes” non-adherence. To test this
methodology, we recruited DM1 patients from Cruz Vermelha Hospital’s endocrinology
clinic. We did not obtain enough sample for statistical significance, however we had
positive returns from participants and positive individual results (Fig. 1).

Case report: A 28 year-old patient, first pregnancy, a gestational age of 38 weeks,
asymptomatic, was hospitalized with a dead fetus. She had no regular prenatal follow-up.
Her capillary blood glucose reported = 116 mg/dL (2nd trimester), she did not have
treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM). She had no other comorbidities but a positive
family history for type 2 DM and a pre-gestational BMI = 31; with a presence of acanthosis
nigricans. She was labor inducted (LI), but she did not undergo any blood glucose
measurement at the time of admission. After 48 h, the patient was taken to the surgical
center for cesarean section, with a history of prolonged labor, maternal “exhaustion”
and lowering of the level of consciousness, as well as hypotension and dehydration.
She was Hydrated and submitted to anesthetic induction but then she developed with
cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) - electrical activity without pulse. Laboratory tests
showed: blood glucose = 927 mg/dL, acute renal failure (ARF)—ClCr < 15 mL/min, pH
6.96 (HCO3 = 13.3), plasma osmolarity = 339.5 mOsm/L. Ketonuria and ketonemia was
not measured. Venous insulinization and hydration was initiated, with improved of
glycemia and acidosis. However, the pacient progressed with severe sepsis and multiple
organ dysfunction, and she died after 4 days of hospitalization. Discussion: There
are few reports on Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS) in pregnancy. HHS is a severe
complication (mortality: 15–60%), often associated with previous type 2 DM, especially
in undiagnosed cases. Due to the increase prevalence of pregnant women with DM 2,
it is a situation that may become more frequent, and it deserves the attention of
professionals dealing with pregnant women. Precipitating causes previously documented
in the literature are numerous: infection, discontinuation of insulin treatment, and
hyperglycemic medications. The best way to prevent is with a properly diagnose and
treatment, as well as increase the diabetes educational programs.
Comments: In spite of this case did not match, clearly, criteria for HHS (pH and HCO3
values), the probability of complications is high. In addition, the severe ARF associated,
certainly contributed to worsen the acidosis parameters. The message is clear: pregnant,
diabetic prior, should be carefully evaluated in regard to prenatal and in-hospital
care, especially in the case of an inadequate treatment and severe intercurrences
such as infections and abortions (Figs 1, 2).

Basal insulin therapy can be a compromise between achieving glycemic targets and avoiding
hypoglycemia, dependent on how intensively insulin is titrated. In the phase 3a EDITION
1, 2 and 3 studies, insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) provided equivalent glycemic
control to insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100) with less hypoglycemia in people with
T2DM. The objective of the current analysis was to evaluate rates of confirmed (≤ 70 mg/dL)
or severe hypoglycemia over 6 months of treatment with Gla-300 or Gla-100 in these
EDITION studies, as a function of HbA1c. Meta-analysis was performed on patient-level
data, and annualized hypoglycemia rate as a function of HbA1c at month 6 was fitted
using a negative binomial regression model. Adding a treatment-by-HbA1c interaction
term to the model did not significantly improve the goodness of fit (interaction p-value
0.937 and 0.829 for anytime [24 h] and nocturnal [00:00-05:59 h] hypoglycemia, respectively).
Therefore the model without interaction describes the data accurately: people treated
with Gla-300 experienced a consistently lower rate of confirmed (≤ 70 mg/dL) or severe
hypoglycemia vs. those treated with Gla-100, regardless of HbA1c at month 6 (Figure).
In conclusion, these results suggest that treatment with Gla-300 vs. Gla-100 could
allow people with T2DM to achieve equivalent glycemic control with less hypoglycaemia.

Introduction: Hypoglycemia, defined by the Whipple triad, is uncommon in non-diabetics
and requires careful evaluation.
Objective: To analyze cases of hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients between January
2000 and June 2017 in a tertiary service.
Method: Retrospective descriptive study of 32 cases of hypoglycemia by reviewing medical
records. The patients had previous diagnosis of hypoglycemia in the health unit. At
admission, were excluded hepatic, renal and adrenal insufficiency, hypopituitarism,
leukemia, and were collected blood glucose, insulin, proinsulin and peptide C. 59%
of the patients performed 72 h of prolonged fasting.
Results: 62.5% of the patients were women; the average age was 42 years. Symptoms
reported: loss of consciousness (62.5%), convulsions (43.7%), sweating (59.3%), tremors
(50%), visual turbidity (40%), mental confusion, palpitations (25%) and nausea (12.5%).
Improvement of symptoms with feeding in 56.2% of the cases. The median time to diagnosis
was 30.7 months. 15 patients had hypoglycemia in the supervised prolonged fasting
test, with a mean of 18 h for their occurrence. Laboratory hypoglycaemia was confirmed
in 27 patients (84.3%), with mean blood glucose of 35.5 mg/dl and insulin of 55.6
uU/ml. The diagnoses were: 11 cases of insulinoma, 3 cases of primary hyperplasia
of islets (IHP), 3 of factitious, 4 of endogenous hyperinsulinemia without insulinoma
image, 2 due to inadvertent use of sulfonylurea, 2 after bariatric surgery, 1 of reactive
hypoglycemia, 1 of hypoglycemia secondary to the production of IGFII per tumor (hemagiopericytoma
with metastases to the liver) (3.1%) and 1 of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia
of childhood. 2 patients lost follow-up, 2 had no confirmation of hypoglycaemia. Ten
insulinoma patients and three HPI patients (1 in another service) were operated on.
The insulinomas were located: 5 in the head (50%), 2 in the tail (20%), 1 in multiple
sites (10%), 1 in the body (10%) and 1 still awaiting an anatomopathological report.
Conclusion: Prolonged supervised fasting helped in the exclusion of factitious hypoglycemia.
In cases of endogenous hyperinsulinemia, hypoglycemia was reached within a few hours
of fasting. Neuroglycopenic symptoms were more prevalent than adrenergic, probably
due to long-term symptoms. The literature reports a homogeneous distribution of insulinomas
in the pancreatic segments, in our sample we observed a higher prevalence in the head
of the pancreas.

Background: Obesity and its associated comorbidities are growing fast worldwide. Increased
adiposity contributes to the low-grade inflammation which leads to insulin resistance
and increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the hypothalamus,
the inflammation leads to an impairment of the energy and glucose homeostasis. The
disruption in glucose homeostasis observed in mice fed on high-fat diet (HFD) is associated,
at least in part, to the excess of TGF-β1 levels in the hypothalamus. Increased hypothalamic
TGF-β1 levels lead to atypical activation of NF-kB, boosting the inflammatory response.
However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this deregulation have not yet been
fully elucidated.
Aim: To investigate the role of hypothalamic TGF-β1 in response to the inflammation
triggered by saturated fatty acids from the diet. Materials and methods: In all experiments
we have used eight-week-old male mice (C57BL/6). TGF-β1 knocking down have been performed
through a bilateral injection of a lentiviral shRNA particle (TRCN94) in the arcuate
nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC). Immediately after surgery, animals were divided
into two groups (scramble and TRCN94) and began to receive HFD for two weeks. Food
intake and body mass were measured throughout the study. At 14th day post-surgery,
animals were sacrificed and their tissues were removed for analysis. The study was
approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee from State University of Campinas
(CEUA 4331-1A).
Results: As expected, in the hypothalamus TGF-β1 was colocalized with glial cells.
TGF-β1 downregulation in the ARC has prevented the body mass gain and fat mass accumulation.
TRCN94 group showed lower BAT mass, was protected from HFD-induced thermogenesis impairment,
and showed increased locomotor activity when compared to scramble group. No differences
were observed in the food intake, in the glucose homeostasis and in the hypothalamic
inflammation between groups, despite TRCN94 group have shown lower levels of fasting
blood glucose.
Conclusion: Hypothalamic TGF-β1 downregulation improves energy homeostasis by increasing
BAT activity and locomotor activity that results in lower body mass gain, preventing
the development of obesity. Funding: FAPESP (2016/17810-3).

Introduction: There are at least 14 described subtypes of MODY (maturity onset diabetes
of the young). Mutations in the HNF1B gene are associated with multiorgan disease,
including HNF1B-MODY (MODY5), morphological abnormalities of the kidney (mainly renal
cysts) and pancreas, and low serum magnesium levels. Due to this clinical heterogeneity,
there is much debate about the best criteria for HNF1B genetic screening.
Aim: To investigate HNF1B mutations in a sample of Brazilian patients selected by
hyperglycemia and renal cysts.
Methods: Thirty-three unrelated subjects with clinical suspicion of HNF1B mutation
defined as Diabetes Mellitus (DM)/prediabetes (as per the ADA criteria) and renal
cysts were selected. Other data were collected from medical records. Genotyping was
performed by Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification
(MLPA). Available relatives were recruited in positive cases.
Results: Two individuals had mutations. 1- Male, 36 yrs old, BMI 22,9 kg/m2 with a
HNF1B heterozygous whole gene deletion (p.Met1_Trp557del), DM since age 13 yrs, using
NPH and Regular insulin, negative GAD and IA2 antibodies, C-peptide 1,4 ng/mL, fasting
glucose 231 mg/dL, HbA1c 7,1%, creatinine 1,17 mg/dL, creatinine clearance (CrCl)
(CKD-EPI) 92,2 mL/min, magnesium 0,9 mg/dL (NR:1.7–2.6 mg/dL). Imaging demonstrated
body and tail pancreatic agenesis, besides renal cysts. The same mutation was seen
in his father, who had DM, renal cysts, and pancreatic tail agenesis, in a normoglycemic
brother with renal cysts and pancreatic body/tail agenesis, and a sister with pancreatic
body hypoplasia and agenesis of the pancreas tail, renal cysts, and bicornuate uterus.
2- Male, 38 years old, BMI 19,4 kg/m2, DM diagnosed at age 12 yrs, using NPH insulin
since one year after the diagnosis, negative GAD and IA2 antibodies, C-peptide 0,9 ng/mL
fasting glucose 165 mg/dL, HbA1c 13.2%, creatinine 1.2 mg/dL, CrCl: 76.2 mL/min, magnesium
1,0 mg/dL, renal cysts, with a previously described p.Pro328 fs (C.983del C) mutation.
Patient 2 had no known familial history of DM or renal cysts, and no relatives were
available for testing.
Conclusion: Screening for HNF1B mutations in patients with hyperglycemia and renal
cysts showed a 6% positivity rate.

Background: Diabetic foot is one of the most worrying complications in patients with
diabetes, since it is the main cause of lower limb amputation. Patients with Type
1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) may have a delay in the detection of risk factors for injuries
due to the time elapsed to start the tracing. Identifying these factors early can
contribute to the elaboration of a more appropriate educational program for this group,
starting early after diagnosis or at admission to the outpatient service.
Objective: Identify risk factors for diabetic foot in patients with T1DM on admission
to a specialized outpatient clinic for neuropathy and diabetic foot.
Methods: A cross-sectional study, with an analysis of 181 medical records of patients
with T1DM, with five or more years of illness, attended by an interdisciplinary team
between 2004 and 2014 and forwarded to the first outpatient care on neuropathy and
diabetic foot of reference public service in Minas Gerais. Data related to the socioeconomic,
clinical profile, physical changes in the feet and prevention guidelines of the diabetic
foot were analyzed. The study was approved by Institution’s Ethics Board.
Results: Among the 181 patients referred, the following diagnoses were confirmed:
retinopathy (35.4%), nephropathy (27.8%), diabetic neuropathy (17%) and neuropathic
pain (20.5%), however, only 88 performed the consultation in the center of neuropathy
and diabetic foot. Of these, the majority were female (51.1%), aged 38.23 ± 11.65 years,
diagnosis time of 17.7 ± 9.84 years, ambulatory follow-up of 2.82 ± 1,75 years, incomplete
high school (33.7%), monthly income between 1 and 2 minimum wages (69.6%) and glycated
hemoglobin of 8.19 ± 1.6%. In relation to the physical alterations of the feet, the
most common were plantar hyperkeratosis (66.7%), callus (33.0%), fissures (23.7%),
onychomycosis (17%) and ulcers (2.4%). The use of adequate footwear (66.3%) and good
foot hygiene (92.5%) were predominant.
Conclusion: The study detected a failure in the educational process and in the patients
orientations regarding the importance of foot evaluation, with a high percentage of
non-appointment schedules and modifiable risk factors for diabetic foot, which could
have been identified by foot inspection in habitual consultations and previously treated,
regardless of the time of illness and the beginning of the traces, also showing that
the patient did not identify such factors as risk of lesions and amputations.

In patients (pts) with T2DM and HbA1c ≥ 9% (75 mmol/mol), the ADA/EASD guidelines
recommend considering a dual combination of metformin + oral antidiabetics (OADs),
a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), and/or basal insulin; NICE
recommends premixed insulins. Both guidelines suggest that pts with high HbA1c may
require basal ± prandial insulin replacement to expedite reaching target HbA1c. The
30- week randomized LixiLan-O trial (NCT02058147) treated pts with T2DM uncontrolled
on metformin ± another OAD with iGlarLixi (insulin glargine [iGlar] + lixisenatide
[Lixi] fixed-ratio combination), iGlar, or Lixi. This LixiLan-O exploratory subgroup
descriptive analysis, assessed whether iGlarLixi, which improves fasting and postprandial
glucose, demonstrated findings consistent with the primary trial results in pts with
baseline HbA1c ≥ 9% (iGlarLixi, n = 49; iGlar, n = 55; Lixi, n = 29). iGlarLixi showed
greater HbA1c reductions (− 2.9%) at Week 30 vs. iGlar (− 2.5%; least squares [LS]
mean difference, − 0.4%; p = 0.03) and Lixi (− 1.7%; LS mean difference, − 1.2%; p < 0.0001);
only the iGlarLixi group achieved a mean HbA1c < 7.0% (Fig. a, b). iGlarLixi also
mitigated weight gain with iGlar (Fig. c). In pts with HbA1c ≥ 9%, iGlarLixi provided
benefits generally consistent with the primary LixiLan-O analysis. These findings
support iGlarLixi as part of stepwise intensification in pts with high HbA1c. Study
code: NCT02058147(Fig. 1).

Introduction: People with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are more susceptible to complications
from influenza viral infections. In the population above 60 years, these infections
are more pronounced. Thus, immunization, indicated by the World Health Organization
since 1963, should be an essential strategy for primary care, and it‘s been described
as a measure of greater effectiveness in coping with the problem, preventing hospitalizations,
complications and consequently reducing morbimortality. This way, the propagation
of knowledge and adherence are fundamental to achieving such benefits.
Objective: To estimate vaccine coverage and to identify the importance of knowledge
and adherence of immunization against influenza in people with DM receiving clinical
assistance in the Health Promotion Program.
Method: Cross-sectional studies with a quantitative approach, with no qualification
of semiprothetic formats, socio-demographic variables, clinical and immunization,
after flu vaccination campaign in 2017. Data analyzed: no SPSS version 22.0. The study
was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP)
of the Federal University of Amapá (Universidade Federal do Amapá), with Postal Code/CEP
number: 38390014.4.0000.0003.
Results: Of the 77 active participants, 44 agreed to participate in the study, with
prior signature of a Free and Informed Consent Term. On the characterization of the
sociodemographic profile: mean age of 60.2 years (Table 01), being (79.5%/n = 35)
female; predominant race was brown (75.0%/n = 33); marital status (38.6%/n = 17) were
married; source of income predominantly domestic and retirees, both with (18.2%/n = 8)
(Table 5). Regarding the characterization of the disease, (100%) demonstrated to have
Type 2 DM (Table 2), with a mean time of diagnosis of 9.4 years (Table 3). Concerning
influenza vaccine adherence, (20.5%/n = 9) reported having fear/vaccine related urges;
(25%/n = 11) were not immunized in the previous year and of these (13.6%/n = 6) remained
unimmunized in the current year, stating as main reason the possible reactions that
the vaccine may cause. As to the importance of immunization (95.5%/n = 42), the main
objective was to “prevent and/or fight influenza” predominating (59.1%/n = 26); (6.8%/n = 3)
were not aware of the importance/purpose of immunization (Table 4).
Conclusion: There was satisfactory immunization coverage of people with DM who agreed
to participate in the study, but regarding the importance, purpose and benefits that
immunization provides for their health, their knowledge is limited only to the side
effects of the vaccine, reflected in the immunization adherence shown (Figs. 1, 2).

Introdution: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex disease that requires care in order
to decrease risk of complications and glycaemic levels. A healthteam from a Private
Outpatient Institution (POI) started a Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program in order
to prevent complications and to encouragepatients to practice physical activity.
Objective: To show the impact of Program’s adherence. POPULATION: all DM patients
from POI (N = 58), that attended all Rehabilitation Program sessions. People ofboth
sexes, age average: 41 ± 20,5 years old; Body Mass Index (BMI): 34% eutrophic, 67%
overweight. Epidemiological characteristics: 98% DM 2, who were 86% hypertensive,
83% dyslipidemic,78% with atheroesclerotic disease,14% with heart failure,7% with
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and 88% with CAD (coronary artery disease).
Methods: DM patients who were referred to join the Program(N = 58) were followed for
the 36 sessions in the POI. Atthe beginning of rehabilitation program and at end of
it, they were requested to fillin a Quality of Life Questionare-SF-36, excluding patients
with cognitive deficit, in order to evaluate if there was Quality of Life (QL) improvement.
Data were tabulated and evaluated along with others quantity and quality variables,
being presented as media, standard deviation and graphics with values expressed inpercentages
of prevalence.
Results: Among those patients, we noted that 67% had been seen regularly by a secondary
sector (endocrinologist), identified by ACTIVE. The patients without regular medical
follow- up were nominated as administrative DISCHARGE. It was detected that, 7%of
ACTIVE, had at the end better HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) levels, 6% remained the
same and e 21% worsened. In comparison with those patients, only 41% of administrative
DISCHARGEgroup improved HbA1c levels, 35% remained the same and 24% worsened. Besides
the HbA1c, improvement of SF-36 was compared. ACTIVE had a 68% improvement by the
end of the Program. It was compared better and worse SF 36 results with patients’
HbA1c levels (Figs. 1 and 2): Fig. 1: Relation Between SF 36 result and HbA1c levels
in administrative DISCHARGE patients Fig. 2: Relation Between SF 36 result and HbA1c
levels in ACTIVE patients

.
Conclusions: Analyzing the 58 patients included in the Program for 2 years, it shows
the importance of a proper medical follow up, as a transdisciplinary and multiprofissional
care to prevent disease complications. The best HbA1c levels and adherence to Rehabilitation
program was in the ACTIVE group.

There is increasing evidence that Continuous subcutaneous Insulin Infusion System
(CSII) can improve quality of life, ensuring flexibility and improved glycemic control
including a reduction in severe hypoglycaemia. However, there are few Brazilian studies
on the subject. CSII therapy physiologically reproduces insulin levels, with the basal
rate through continuous automatic delivery of microinfusions adjusted by hour, complemented
by user calculation and bolus delivery for postprandial glycemic control or correction,
with more predictable release, and, time of recognition and decision-making before
becoming serious. In asymptomatic hypoglycemia, evidence suggests a reversal of this
condition if events are avoided. This reduction in hypoglycemia will only occur if
the CSII has been programmed correctly and the user has made the proper decision when
managing problems, interpreting, and acting on the basis of blood glucose. During
2006 to 2016, we followed 46 children and adolescents attended by an endocrinologist
of the private health system, with support from Multidiscisplinar Center focused on
this therapy. About 5 years ago, the SUS (Single Health System—Brazilian public system)
created a specialized center for CSII users, for global multidisciplinary educational
monitoring (nutritionist, nurse and psychologist), with production of performance
reports to support the decision of the medical teams. In the follow-up, 56.5% are
female and 43.4% male, between the ages of 2 and 26 years (mean ± SD: 15 ± 2.35 years),
with 9 previous users of CSII. Groups were separated into users (old) and those who
initiated CSII in the Center (new). In the old group, CSII time ranged from 7 to 11 years
(mean 9.11 years), A1C ranged from 7.9% in the pre-CSII to 8.25% at the beginning
of follow-up at the Center and 7.07% at follow-up. In the new group the CSII time
ranged from 5 months to 5 years (mean 4.5 years), A1C ranged from 8.37% in the pre-CSII
to 7.14% in the SICI post in the center. There were no new complications in the period.
There were only 2 events of severe hypoglycemia hospitalized for handling error by
the caregiver in those 10 years. An effective partnership between professional staff
and the user is a key factor in achieving success in therapy. Continuous support for
users is an essential component of the service, which must be delivered by a specialized
and experienced multidisciplinary team.

Introduction: Kidneys are responsible for the clearance of one-third of circulating
insulin, and its progressive function loss has been associated with a decrease in
clearance capacity. Besides, glucose loss through dialysis fluid and insulin adsorption
to the membrane modify glycaemic control and insulin doses during hemodialysis (HD).
The objective of this study was to evaluate the HD influence in type-1 diabetes mellitus
(T1DM) patients on renal replacement therapy.
Methods: The doses of insulin used on non-HD days were compared with those on HD days
in 32 T1DM patients followed in diabetes outpatient clinic.
Results: Twenty women and 12 men were included with mean age 38.2 ± 8.6 years and
diabetes duration 25.4 ± 6.2 years. Hemoglobin glycated (HbA1c) during last year ranged
from 5.6 to 11.3%, mean 8.0 ± 1.1%. Total daily dose (TDD) of insulin in non-HD and
HD days were 0.50 ± 0.19 and 0.45 ± 0.18 units/Kg/day, respectively. Regarding schedule
for hemodialysis, we observed lower TDD (20 ± 9 units and 35 ± 17 units, respectively,
p:0.04) and basal insulin dose (10 ± 5 units and 23 ± 18 units, respectively, p:0.04)
for patients underwent to HD on intermediate-shift compared to those at afternoon-shift.
The mean of HbA1c and fructosamine did not reach significant difference concerning
to early-morning, intermediate or afternoon HD shift schedule.
Conclusion: TDM1 individuals on renal replacement therapy require lower insulin doses
in HD days. HD patients on intermediate-shift have lower basal dose than those on
afternoon-shift, probably by the decreased insulin doses at lunch time, in order to
avoid hypoglycemia during HD session. The knowledge of the daily routine of T1DM patient
in HD by diabetes healthcare team is essential to adjustments of insulin doses.

Introduction: There is a growing recognition that glycemic control is a critical element
in inpatient care. The optimal management of blood glucose in the hospital remains
a great challenge. We introduced a hospitalwide inpatient glucose management program
in our hospital that included the establishment of a multidisciplinary glycemic control
team (MGCT) in June/2014. The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate the
impact of the implementation of a MGCT and institutional inpatient glycemic control
protocols in the glycemic control of hospitalized patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records and of the point-of
care glucose monitoring (POCT) of the hospitalized patients before (may/2014) and
after (may/2017) the implementation of the MGCT. The institutional inpatient glycemic
control protocols are in accordance with the international recommendations. All the
patients admitted to the institution have their glycaemia monitored using the POCT
Abbott® Precision PXP glucometer. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee.
Results: We analyzed a total of 6888 and 7869 POCT from 389 and 545 patients in may/2014
and July/2015, respectively. The mean glycemia was of 158.9 ± 60.7 mg/dl and 150.3 ± 57.8 mg/dl
in may/2014 and may/2017, respectively (p < 0,001). There was a reduction of 17.8%
in the rates of hyperglycemia ≥ 180 mg/dl in may/2017 compared to may/2014 (19.3%
and 23.5%, respectively; p < 0.001). Hyperglycemia ≥ 300 mg/dl was reduced in 28.5%
in may/2017 compared to may/2014 (1.8% and 2.5%, respectively; p = 0.003). Hypoglycemia ≤ 40 mg/dl
was observed in 0.1% and 0.2% of the patients in may/2017 and may/2014 (non statistically
significant reduction of 34%; p = 0.34). In may/2014, 34.2% of the prescriptions were
not in accordance with the institutional protocol and this was reduced to 7.5% in
may/2017 (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: The implementation of hospitalwide glycemic control program was associated
with significant reduction on hyperglycemic events. The key elements for these achievements
were the development of institutional inpatient glycemic control protocols, the establishment
of a MGCT, and the continuous educational programs for hospital personnel. Altogether,
these actions resulted in improvement of processes of care, patient’s safety and clinical
outcomes of hospitalized patients.

Objectives: Many patients who would benefit from insulin therapy do not receive it
in a timely manner. This study assessed HbA1c control and health care costs in a real
world setting using a retrospective commercial claims database.
Methods: Patients with a T2DM diagnosis (ICD-9-CM codes 250.x0 or 250.x2) from 1/1/2007
to 12/31/2014, were identified in the MarketScan database. Patients initiating basal
insulin (BI) and with an HbA1c > 7% in the 6 months pre-BI initiation were identified.
Patients were required to have 24 months pre- and 12 months post-BI initiation health
plan enrollment and were stratified by time with uncontrolled HbA1c (> 7%) before
BI initiation (i.e., < 6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24 months). Study measures included pre-
and post-BI initiation HbA1c and health care costs.
Results: A total of 5422 patients met the inclusion criteria. Before BI initiation,
mean (SD) HbA1c was 9.8% (2.0), with 50.3% of patients uncontrolled < 6, 18.3% 6-12,
13.7% 12-18, and 17.8% 18-24 months. There was little variation in baseline HbA1c
by duration of time uncontrolled. Mean (SD) HbA1c reduction was 1.4 (2.4) but 48.1%
of patients had HbA1c > 8% during follow-up. Patients with uncontrolled HbA1c < 6 months
had the largest reduction in HbA1c (mean [SD] change of 1.8% [2.7], 58.4% HbA1c < 8%),
while patients with uncontrolled HbA1c 18-24 months had the smallest change in HbA1c
(mean [SD] change of 1.0% [2.0], 38.4% HbA1c < 8%). Costs in the 12 months post-BI
initiation ranged from mean (SD) $14,621 ($22,654) among patients uncontrolled for
12-18 months to $18,816 ($40,793) < 6 months.
Conclusions: Despite improvements in HbA1c following BI initiation, almost half of
patients had HbA1c > 8% during follow-up, with patients with the longest period of
uncontrolled HbA1c during baseline least likely to achieve HbA1c < 8%. This study
suggests there would be benefit from earlier introduction of BI or alternative therapeutic
options to assist patients in achieving HbA1c targets. This is an ENCORE abstract

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia
that may lead to chronic complications. The strict glycemic control is a key in the
prevention of these long term complications. In spite of both technological development
and intensive insulin therapy, most of T1DM patients are far away from their suggested
ranges. One of the main challenges in the therapy is the meal insulin bolus calculation.
The suitable adjustment of the insulin dose for a given carbohydrate amount present
in a meal is key to success in the postprandial control and in the T1DM management.
Objective: Assessing the impact on the glycemic Control in T1DM patients using the
blood glucose meter Accu-Check Performa Connect with an automatic bolus calculator
(ABC).
Method: This is a prospective, non-randomized and controlled 12 week clinical trial,
with 26 over 16 year-old T1DM patients, whose HbA1c were equal or superior to 6.5%,
who have T1DM diagnostic for more than 1 year, and following a multiple daily insulin
injections (MDI) therapy, plus adjusted postprandial insulin doses according to each
meal carbohydrates count. The intervention Group used the Accu-Chek Performa Connect
glucometer linked to the mobile phone ABC app, and the Control Group continued with
their standard blood glucose meter, with manual bolus. The download of data collected
from their devices was used for dose adjustments in the whole treatment period.
Results: A total of 13 patients completed the study (Control, n = 6; Connect, n = 7).
The Connect Group patients showed an important improvement in their Estimated Mean
Glycemia (EMG), reaching statistical significance (p = 0.01). Percentages of both
hyperglycemia and normoglycemia have also presented relevant improvement (p = 0.004
and p = 0.015, respectively). Statistical significance was not reached between groups
in severe hypoglycemia (< 50 mg/dl). HbA1c decreased more in the Connect Group, but
without reaching statistical significance (p = 0.315).
Conclusion: This was the first Brazilian prospective, controlled, non- randomized
trial with T1DM patients, aiming to evaluate the ABC impact on the glycemic improvement
of these subjects. In this study, it was possible to see the improvement of some glycemic
parameters, without increasing the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia. However, further
studies are needed to better evaluate the impact of the glycemic improvement, mainly
to access the HbA1c reduction.

Background: School is the space where students spend most of their time, so there
is a need for a team prepared to receive the student with diabetes, a disease that
has an impact on the life of the individual as well as that of their family members.
In the current scenario, parents feel insecure about taking their children to school
due to the lack of preparation of a large part of the school staff.
Objective: To describe the creation and functioning of a Diabetes Reference Center
at Schools (DRCS) in the Public Health System, for the training of the public and
private schools of Minas Gerais.
Methods: Project developed by the interdisciplinary team of a Public Diabetes Center
in Minas Gerais, with financial support from FAPEMIG (Foundation for Research Support
of the State of Minas Gerais) and divided into 4 stages (Table 1).
Results: From August 2016 to July 2017, 147 public and private schools from the metropolitan
region of Belo Horizonte were enrolled. Of these, 71 (48%) did not attend the scheduled
and confirmed face-to-face training, performing only the online stage, requesting
a rescheduling for times outside of the school days, justifying lack of school support
for release from training, among other reasons. Most participants (87%) rated their
knowledge to help a child with diabetes as unsatisfactory at the time of enrollment.
In the evaluation of the training, in a scale from very good to bad, the participants
classified as very good: the initial contact with the DRCS and the scheduling (84.62%),
quality of the material sent by email in the first stage of the training (88.46%),
content presented in face-to-face training (100%) and quality of didactic material
used in tablets (92.31%). All respondents answered the questionnaire “yes” to the
question “Do you feel better prepared to help a child with diabetes in the school
environment?”
Conclusion: The creation of the DRCS and the adopted model have met the objective
of training of the school teams, enabling their inclusion in the treatment of children
with diabetes. However, the lack of importance given to the subject in the country,
both by government agencies and by the direction of schools, have required diversified
strategies to enable training in different circumstances and difficulties, such as
distance education, the final phase of the project. Ethics Approval The study was
approved by Santa Casa of Belo Horizonte Institution’s Ethics Board, approval number
1.064.985 and written consent was obtained from all participants (Fig. 1).

Insulin delivery based on carbohydrate counting (CC) is the gold standard for improving
glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D). A post hoc analysis of onset 1, a 26-week,
phase 3 trial, assessed methods for adjusting the dose of mealtime fast-acting insulin
aspart (faster aspart) and insulin aspart (IAsp), each with insulin detemir. Subjects
with previous experience continued CC (HbA1c, faster aspart and IAsp 7.6%) and remaining
subjects used a simple bolus algorithm (BA; HbA1c, faster aspart 7.5%, IAsp 7.6%).
Faster aspart showed a statistically significant greater reduction in HbA1c vs. IAsp,
and non-inferiority was confirmed (Fig. 1). With CC, HbA1c reduction was statistically
significantly greater for faster aspart vs. IAsp (est. treatment difference: − 0.19%
[95% CI − 0.30; − 0.09]) but was similar for both treatments with a BA. Rate of hypoglycemic
episodes and bolus insulin dose were similar between treatments across adjustment
methods. No significant differences in total insulin dose or weight gain were observed
between treatments with either adjustment method. Faster aspart was effective in glycemic
control regardless of adjustment method. For patients with T1D capable of dosing based
on CC, faster aspart may offer improved glycemic control vs. IAsp, with similar weight
gain and insulin dose, and without an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

LC, male, 66 years old, type 2 diabetic for 3 years, using Gliclazide 60 mg/day and
Metformin 1500 mg/day. He reported asthenia and difficulty losing weight. Laboratory
tests showed poor glycemic control (HbA1c = 9.6%) and weight = 107.1 kg. Therapy with
Insulin Degludec 16U was started to control glycotoxicity, suspension of gliclazide
and maintenance of metformin. After 30 days, the glycemic control was improved, GJ = 171 mg/dl,
HbA1c = 8.2%, but with increased appetite and difficulty to perform physical activities.
To optimize patient glycemic control and weight loss, Liraglutide 1.2 mg/day was initiated.
On the 30-day return, HbA1c presented 7.6%, GJ = 153 mg/dl and weight = 105.9 kg,
and Liraglutide dose was increased to 1.8 mg/day. After 4 months of maximal Liraglutide
dose, patient presented a 3 kg weight loss, but with continuous decrease of HbA1c
(7.0%), an improvement that remained until the last evaluation (total weight loss = 6 kg/5.60%
of total weight with HbA1c = 6.4%). The insulin dose was reduced to 10 U and reassessed
in 30 days for possible discontinuation of insulin therapy. GLP- 1 receptor agonists
stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-independent manner, inhibit glucagon secretion
and hepatic glucose output, delay gastric emptying, induce satiety, reduce appetite,
and cause weight loss. They were superior in glycemic control and weight when compared
to other DM2 treatment options. Compared to DPP-4 inhibitors in 11 of 13 studies,
they were superior in glycemic control and in 14 of 14 studies, were superior in weight
loss. With sulfonylureas, they showed superiority in HbA1C control in 7 of 10 studies
and weight loss in 10 of 10 studies. Compared with insulin therapy it also demonstrated
superiority in weight loss in all studies and was superior in the control of HbA1c
in 23 of 30 studies. Liraglutide, regardless of weight loss, showed a decrease in
HbA1c in quartile analysis of weight loss (Liraglutide 18 mg-LEAD-3). It is a therapeutic
option with action well established in weight loss, metabolic and glycemic improvement
in the DM2 patient. However, its action on HbA1C reduction was independent of weight
loss, evidencing intensive glycemic control with HbA1C between 6.5 and 7.0% even with
discrete or even absent weight loss.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic and multifactorial disease that implies in many
difficult-to control metabolic problems, such as diabetes and hypertension. It is
known that there are several modalities of bariatric surgeries resulting in significant
weight loss and improvement in blood glucose and blood pressure levels. Moreover,
in some cases the patient returns to normoglycemic levels after bariatric surgery.
Weight loss can also be observed.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and metabolic profile of patients with obesity
after bariatric surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the Multidisciplinary Outpatient
Clinic of Obesity and Metabolic Surgery at Ana Costa de Santos Hospital. Laboratory
tests data were collected from the medical records of twenty patients who had undergone
bariatric surgery and were afterwards seen in this outpatient clinic.
Results: Twenty-four percent of patients lost weight after bariatric surgery. Patients
have postoperative time ranging from 15 days to 1 year. Eleven patients out of sixteen
had undergone the surgery 3 months before they participated in this study. Fasting
blood glucose level decreased in nine percent in patients who had undergone the surgery.
Five patients stopped taking medications they had been using previously.
Conclusion: Results point bariatric surgery as an important therapeutic option due
to its potential to reverse diabetes and improve blood glucose level and blood pressure
in patients who have morbid obesity.

Introduction: Molecular biology studies demonstrate that microRNAs (miRNAs) seem to
play a fundamental role in triggering and progression of type 2 diabetes (DM2), as
well as, have been suggested as a novel biomarker for DM2 prediction. The miRNAs are
small noncoding RNAs with 19–25 nucleotides that implicate in post transcriptional
control of gene expression in multicellular organisms by disturbing the stability
in processes such as translation, resulting in target miRNAs degradation or silencing.
Objective: To develop in silico projection of molecular structure of miRNA already
defined as biomarker for DM2 prediction.
Methods: A search was performed on the nucleotide sequence of 4 miRNAs already defined
as biomarker for DM2 prediction, performing in silico projection of the molecular
structure of the following miRNAs: miR-455-5p, miR-454-3p, miR-144-3p and miR-96-5p.
The nucleotides were selected using GenBank that is the NIH genetic sequence database.
The sequences obtained were aligned with the Clustal W multiple alignment algorithms.
For the molecular modeling, the structures were generated with the RNAstructure, a
fully automated miRNAs structure modelling server, accessible via the Web Servers
for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction.
Results: We demonstrated a search for nucleotide sequence and the projection of the
molecular structure of the following miRNA: miR-455-5p (Fig. 1), miR-454-3p (Fig. 2),
miR-144-3p (Fig. 3) and miR-96-5p (Fig. 4).
Conclusion: In this study we show in silico secondary structures projection of selected
of 4 miRNA defined as biomarker for DM2 prediction through computational biology (Fig.
1).

Introduction: Brazil, following the world trend, has undergone processes of demographic,
epidemiological and nutritional transition since the 1960s, and in recent years an
increase in the number of deaths caused by chronic non-transmissible diseases, hypertension
and diabetes mellitus (DM). It is estimated that 12% of the Brazilian population suffers
from DM, resulting in changes in patterns of occurrence of pathologies, emphasizing
cardiovascular. In order to respond to this challenging situation, the Ministry of
Health organizes surveillance strategies in Basic Health Units (UBS).
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of diabetic patients
followed in a UBS through a basic research, raised by medical students, that aimed
to evaluate cardiovascular risk and possible associations and correlations with other
clinical and laboratory variables in the scenario of the Northwest Fluminense.
Method: We evaluated 105 patients who were followed at the Basic Health Unit of the
Horto Florestal neighborhood, Itaperuna, RJ, from August 2014 to April 2015, in a
randomized study. Data collection was completed using the information reported by
the patients during the consultations and after receiving the results of laboratory
tests related to the protocol, together with a home visit for interview and blood
pressure measurement. The risk equation was based on the Framingham score, with one
of the predictors being diabetes, which was stratified by the fasting glucose test
of the patients under study.
Results: The profile of the protagonists that made up the sample universe of the research
represented 80% of the female sex and 20% of the male sex, only; 20% in the age group
up to 44 years; 41% between 45 and 59 years; and 39% over 60 years. The exploration
revealed that 88 people from the sample space, reflecting the percentage of 83.8%
of the total, do not have a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), while those suffering
from the metabolic syndrome correspond to 16.2%. Although the result showed to be
higher than expected nationally, the comparison is dubious and evidenced bias in the
statistical studies against the analysis of age.
Conclusion: Despite the importance of DM, there is a shortage of studies that investigate
the epidemiological characteristics of this condition in the Brazilian population.

Introduction: ADAMTS13 is a proteolytic enzyme responsible for large von Willebrand
factor (vWF) multimers degradation, in order to prevent the hypercoagulability process.
This enzyme is mainly synthesized in the liver, but is also expressed in platelets,
endothelial cells and kidney.
Objectives: To compare the plasma levels of ADAMTS13 and vWF, as well as ADAMTS13
gene expression in liver and kidney, in type 1 diabetic mice and controls (nondiabetic).
Methods: Type 1 diabetes mellitus was induced in 10 male C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal
injection of streptozotocin. Control group mice (n = 10) received sodium citrate buffer.
The levels of ADAMTS13, vWF and urinary albumin excretion were detected using the
ELISA technique. The capillary blood glucose levels were obtained with a glucometer.
The mRNA was extracted from liver and kidney samples and the ADAMTS13 gene expression
was investigated by real-time PCR. Statistical analyzes were performed in SPSS v.
13.0 software. Values of p < 0.05 were considered significant.
Results: The urinary levels of ADAMTS13 in diabetic group were higher when compared
to the control group (p = 0.001), which accompanies histopathological findings in
the kidney, characterized by mesangial expansion and interstitial fibrosis in the
diabetic group. There was no significant difference between plasma levels of ADAMTS13
and vWF between the groups (p > 0.05). The gene expression of ADAMTS13 was higher
in the liver (2.53×) of diabetic animals, when compared to the control group, but
in renal tissue, the gene expression of ADAMTS13 was not different between the groups
(1.00×). In addition, urinary ADAMTS13 levels showed a positive correlation with urinary
albumin excretion (r = 0.820, p = 0.001) and blood glucose levels (r = 0.901, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Loss of ADAMTS13 enzyme in the urine correlated with diabetic kidney
disease in the mice. In addition, the data suggest that increased mRNA expression
of ADAMTS13 in the liver is critically important for the plasma regulation of this
enzyme, and consequently of vWF

Introduction: Post-death pancreatic analysis of patients with long-standing type 1
diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has found residual β-cells. The development of an ultra-sensitive
assay for the detection of small amounts of C-peptide showed that T1DM, even decades
after diagnosis, may present a basal hormone secretion. However, it is important to
know if this residual beta cell function respond to meals or to insulin secretagogues.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of residual beta cell function
in individuals with long-standing T1DM using an ultrasensitive Cpeptide after a mixed-meal
and oral dose of sulfonylurea.
Methods: 129 patients who had clinical diagnosis of T1DM and diabetes duration of > 5 years
(ADA criteria, SBD) were recruited from a tertiary care center. Fasting blood was
taken for measurement of C-peptide (ELISA; Mercodia® (Uppsala, Sweden; cat.Nº10-1141-01).
Thirty one patients (24,5%) had C-peptide > 10 pmol/L or 0.03 ng/ml. Six patients
were randomly recruited to undergo a mixed-meal tolerance test + oral 5 mg glibenclamide.
Results: 51.9% ♂, age: 22.7 + 7.1 years; duration of diabetes mellitus (DDM): 12.6 + 6.4 years,
BMI: 23.2 + 3.7 kg/m2 and HbA1c: 8.7 + 1.6%. The presence of detectable fasting C-peptide
was inversely associated with DDM (rs: − 0.35, p, 0.0001). Among chronic complications,
a fasting C-peptide > 1.5 pmol/L (0.004 ng/ml) was associated with a lower percentage
of patients with nephropathy (63.2 vs 36.8%, p = 0, 0187). In the 6 T1DM patients
(age: 25.5 + 7.6, DDM: 15.2 + 6.7, BMI: 23.8 + 3.2, HbA1c: 7.9 + 0.6) who underwent
the mixed meal tolerance test + sulfonylurea, 4 (66.7%) had a positive response (C-peptide > 200 pmol/L
(0.6 ng/ml).
Conclusions: Patients with long-duration T1DM present residual beta cell secretion,
related to a lower prevalence of nephropathy and had a positive response to a mixed-meal
and secretagogue stimulus. This residual secretion suggests the presence of functional
β cells that can potentially be worked for its preservation and regeneration.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous set of metabolic disorders
which has as a consequence hyperglycemia. Changes in balance and gait increase the
risk of falls and foot injuries in individuals with DM.
Objective: To verify the influence of balance and plantar pressure in individuals
with DM1, DM2 and healthy.
Methods: Observational, transverse, descriptive and comparative study performed at
a Health Post in the city of Fortaleza, from August to October 2016. All participants
performed an evaluation of static balance and plantar pressure through Baropodometry.
For comparison between groups, we used the ANOVA test and for the correlations Pearson‘s
correlation coefficient was applied, considering a significance level equal to or
less than 5% (p < 0.05).
Results: 99 individuals (19 individuals with DM1Group A, 61 with DM2Group B and 19
without DM—Group C) were recruited. Regarding the homogeneity between groups, there
was a statistically significant difference between groups A and B and B and C with
respect to age (p = 0.000) and between A and B in relation to the diagnosis time (p = 0.000)
(Table 1). There was a significant difference between groups A and B in the latero-lateral
mean deviation (Xlateral) (p = 0.0213) and between groups B and C, Xlateral (p = 0.0192)
and in the mean velocity of anteroposterior deviation (Anterior vel.) (p = 0.05).
Groups A and B evidenced a significant statistic difference for right foot plantar
pressure (p = 0.0137) and left foot plantar pressure (p = 0.0137). Between groups
B and C, there was difference for the maximum plantar pressure of the left foot (p = 0.047).
When intragroup association was performed, in Group A was observed a strong association
between Anterior Vel. with the mean velocity of latero-lateral deviation (Lateral
Vel.) (r = , 7210, p = 0.0005). In group B, was verified a strong association between
Anterior Vel. with the Lateral Vel. (r, 8466, p = 0.0000) (Table 2). An association
between age and static balance was also verified in all variables, with the exception
of anteroposterior deviation in group B (Table 2).
Conclusion: The participants with DM2 have worse values of static balance, and right
and left foot pressures, beyond the maximum pressure of the left foot, when compared
with the DM1 and control groups. Age appears to have been a harmful factor for group
B participants (Fig. 1)

Background: Health education aims to change behavior in order to benefit the clinical
condition, through the contact of health professionals with people diagnosed with
chronic diseases, which is effective in relieving fear and anxiety and understanding
the disease. Perception of self-care activities with the feet is important to measure
the knowledge gaps of people with Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which favors the prevention
of plantar lesions and consequent amputation. In this perspective, this study aimed
to evaluate the effect of the educational intervention on self-care with the feet
in the knowledge of people with DM.
Methodology: Descriptive study of the pre and post-intervention type developed in
a FHS. Sample consisted of 45 (35 + 10 pilot) people diagnosed with DM for more than
5 years. An instrument was applied to characterize and evaluated the knowledge through
a questionnaire composed of 16 questions with dichotomous answers (Sim-0 and No-1),
in which “Yes” means knowledge of the prevention activities of the diabetic foot.
In this way, the lower the average of the answers, the better the knowledge. Knowledge
was evaluated before and after eight fortnightly household meetings, which had the
intention to teach care with the feet. Data collected were tabulated in an Excel 2007
spreadsheet and analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Descriptive statistics were performed for sociodemographic
characterization and to analyze the results pre- and post-intervention, Anova was
used with repeated measures with interest in the interaction. Project was approved
by Institutution‘s Ethics Board of the Federal University of Alfenas, number 20376013.2.0000.5142.
Results: 64.4% of the volunteers were women, with low level of education and family
income; more than 80% reported that they never had their feet evaluated and in the
same proportion they were never told about foot care. Regarding the knowledge of self-care
activities, the study volunteers presented statistically significant better means
in the second evaluation (1.94), when compared to the first one (8,17) (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Educational intervention contributed to the improvement in the knowledge
of self-care activities with the feet of people with DM. Home health education allows
the inclusion of family members, knowledge of individual needs and the adequacy of
care according to the reality of each person, a determining factor for behavior change
and knowledge acquisition.

Backgrounds: Some studies suggest that poor metabolic control may compromise linear
growth and final height of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), but
it is still controversial. Others have demonstrated that some patients at T1DM onset
had higher Z scores of weight and height.
Aim: To evaluate the influence of metabolic control on linear growth of T1DM children
diagnosed at the preschool age.
Methods: Data were obtained from medical records of 67 T1DM children followed up for
at least 3 years. Glycated hemoglobin-HbA1c (Immunoturbidimetry, normal range value:
4.8–5.9%) was collected every 3–4 months and, considering the annual average for growth
assessment (ideal: < 7.5%, acceptable: 7.5–8.5%, regular: 8.6–9.4% and poor: ≥ 9.5%).
The anthropometric data (weight, height, body mass index) and growth velocity was
defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) adjusted to age and gender and
Z scores.
Results: The sample included 67 children, with a mean age of 4.3 ± 1.5 years at the
1st visit, age at T1DM onset of 4.0 ± 1.4 years and T1DM duration of 0.28 years (IQR:
0.16–0.41), 50.7% being male. In the 1 st evaluation: Z weight, Z height and Z BMI
scores were 0.62 (− 0.16–1.42), 0.26 (− 0.74–0.82) and 0.86 (0.19–1.81), respectively,
with no differences between gender and over the years. In the course of the follow-up
years, a worsening of HbA1c was observed (p = 0.002). In the group overall, the growth
velocity was significantly not different in comparison to metabolic control, nevertheless
a tendency to a slower growth rate was observed in those with worse control (p = 0.07).
Notably, the Z height was significantly lower in the 4th year of follow-up (p = 0.046)
in those with regular/poor metabolic control.
Conclusion: Our results show that children with T1DM onset at pre-school age had increased
Z weight, Z height and Z BMI scores at diagnosis. Additionally, the data suggest that
poor metabolic control could influence growth and long-term Z height score in this
age group.

Introduction: Static and dynamic changes in joint movement, muscle strength (MS) and
balance modify plantar load distribution and increase the risk of ulcerations in patients
with type II diabetes mellitus, and peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN) may aggravate
these conditions.
Objective: To evaluate functional kinesiological possible changes in balance and gait
in individuals diagnosed with type II DM with and without PDN.
Method: Observational, transversal, descriptive and comparative study, performed at
a health post in the city of Fortaleza, from August to October 2016. A functional
kinesiological evaluation (measures of ankle joint amplitude (AJA), MS of the lower
members) and baropodometry (for evaluation of the plantar load distribution postural
balance) were performed. T test was used for comparison between the groups and Pearson‘s
correlation coefficient for the associations between the variables, being considered
statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05.
Results: 60 individuals were evaluated being allocated in two groups, 42 participants
in group A (without PDN) and 18 in group B (with PDN). The groups were homogeneous
in relation to the diagnosis time of the disease, but were different in relation to
age (p = 0.002) (Table 1). The vast majority of the participants presented altered
AJA, below the values considered normal (Table 2), but without differences between
groups. In MS, group A presented more force than group B (p ≤ 0.05), except for the
right tibialis anterior and left sural triceps muscles. In baropodometry (mean deviation,
mean velocity, static and dynamic mean pressure) no statistically significant differences
between groups were found. In intragroup associations, was verified a moderate correlation
between static mean pressure and dynamic mean pressure between right and left feet
in both groups (Group without PN r = , 571, p < 0.0000 and with PN r = , 532 p < 0.0002)
and between latero-lateral deviation and the mean velocity of this deviation in both
groups (Group without PN r = , 471, = 0.0213 and with PN r = ,423 p = 0.0320).
Conclusion: Patients with type II DM have decreased range of motion, regardless of
whether they have PN or not. There is no difference between the balance and the plantar
pressure between the two groups. Individuals affected by PDN have more changes in
muscle strength. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient (Fig.
1).

Introduction: Information about diabetes is directed primarily to diabetes and the
risk of developing a dysfunction. However, it is forgotten that family members and
friends of those who have diabetes also need these informations.
Objective: Educate people who live with those who have diabetes, through specific
information published in Blog prepared for this.
Methodology: The blog “Meu amigo com diabetes” was created and the Facebook fan page
of the same name was created to publish and disseminate the texts weekly (Monday),
always accompanied by illustrative images. The method was to analyze the number of
views in the texts and the number of visits to the blog. Along with the “likes” in
the publications and on the Facebook page.
Results: The blog was created on June 15, 2015, and July 23, 2017, had more than 65,000
hits, from various parts of the world, including: Portugal, France, and the US has
twice as much access to Brazil. The fan page of the blog, in the same period, was
“like” by more than 1600 people. The publication with more access, had more than 2750
hits, reaches 6400 people on facebook, with 96 shares. In January 2017, the page received
access to more than 7000 readers. In addition, an informative image had a reach of
26,400 people, with 113 shares. The publications have been very shared on Facebook,
mostly by people who have diabetes find it useful to relay to their acquaintances.
The blog has an average of 57 hits per day, including weekends and holidays. Publications
are diverse, covering commemorative dates, diabetes reading tips, basic and advanced
diabetes knowledge, and reporting on events that involve diabetes throughout the year.
Conclusion: What we can conclude is that this new form of education has pleased many
people, even with diabetes or diabetes. Sharing this with friends and relatives who
understand diabetes better and overcome challenges, overcoming myths and improving
treatment, making it a motivator. We realize that with each publication, the blog
increases the reach, which favors that our goals are achieved. In addition to the
rapid growth in blog visits and fans, and the significant number of views, “likes”
and sharing posts. We were commended for the initiative, the content of the blog and
the page art, addressing a theme as delicate as diabetes.

Introduction: Obesity and diabetes prevalence in elderly subjects has an important
role in clinical-epidemiological. Life styles and poor food habits associate with
body weight excess are factor that contribute for comorbidities and also aging process.
In this sense, central nervous systems (CNS), in particular, the hypothalamus is pivotal
for modulate the body weight maintenance by metabolic signals. Evidence suggests that
aging process and type 2 diabetes (DM2) are related with inflammation and post-transcriptional
mechanism of s-nitrosation (S-NO) of proteins. S-NO is characterized as a post-transcriptional
modification that modulates cellular functions by iNOS protein. On the other hands,
the role of S-NO in the hypothalamus during aging process and DM2 remain unknown.
Objective: Investigate the role of iNOs and S-NO mechanism into insulin in the hypothalamus
of old rats.
Methods: We used the western blotting tecniques, biotinilation of proteins (S-NO),
PCR real-time (pPCR), intracerebroventricular injection (ICV) of oxide nitric donor
(GSNO), INOS inhibitor (L-N6-(l-iminoethyl) Lysine (L-NIL) and exercise protocol were
combined for analyse the nitrosation in hypothalamics tissues of old rats. This study
was approved by ethics committee (CEUA 2016-1).
Results: Chronic treatment ICV in the hypothalamus with GSNO in Young rats enhance
S-NO of IRβ and Akt, following of increased food intake and body weight reducing insulin
sensitivity. Also, in old rats, in basal conditions, was observed increase of hiperphagia,
body weight and overexpression of (iNOS), S-NO of IRβ and Akt characterizing insulin
resistance. Mecanically or by physical exercise inhibition of iNOS, recuperate IRβ
and Akt expression in the hypothalamus improving insulin sensitivity in old rats promoting
satiety.
Conclusion: Taken together, we suggest, at least in parts, that hypothalamic S-NO-induced
iNOS is a post-transcription of insulin resistance and, may be a target against diabetes
during aging process.

During hospitalization, diabetes educators may identify difficulties and promote DM
selfmanagement after discharge. Education promotes safety, better glycemic control
and prevents readmission. However, inside the hospital, stress, concurrent procedures
and the trend to lower length of stay compromise the patient‘s adherence and the effectiveness
of these approaches.
Objectives: To identify the main difficulties for self-care and to evaluate the impact
of education on knowledge and behavior change after discharge.
Results: Since 2015, 430 patients with DM were evaluated (mean 66 years, range 15–97 years),
including 82% with DM2 and 9% DM1. On average, length of stay was 18 days. The main
reason for admission were respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and cancer, respectively.
DM was the main reason for admission of 43 hospitalizations. In patients with previous
DM, 73% had A1c > 7. The mean duration of DM and A1c was 24 years and 8.3%, respectively.
The educational needs were assessed using a adapted questionnaire regarding diet,
physical activity, medications, insulin, glycemic control, foot care, hypoglycemia
and hyperglycemia. Each item was scored from 0 to 10 and those with lower scores were
prioritized during education. The initial questionnaire was answered by 317 (74%)
patients. The most frequent difficulties, were: insulin management, hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia, foot care and glucose monitoring. After initial intervention, 153 patients
(48%) were reevaluated in 876 visits (mean 2.12 visits/patient). The level of knowledge
about insulin use (n = 122) increased from 5 ± 4 to 7 ± 3. Scores for knowledge about
hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia increased from 6 ± 3 to 9 ± 2 and from 6 ± 3 to 8 ± 3
(both P < 0.05), respectively. Foot care and glucose monitoring increased from 7 ± 3
to 8 ± 2 and 7 ± 3 to 8 ± 3 (both P < 0.05), respectively. After 30 days of discharge,
62 (19%) of 317 patients were contacted. In this subgroup, 82% were satisfied with
the intervention, 84% were aware about the need for follow-up regarding DM, 73% improved
their diet. Only 39% were more active.
Conclusion: Besides barriers in the hospital to DM education, the intervention of
educators may improve knowledge for self-care and promote adherence to medical follow-up
and healthy eating after discharge.

Insulin degludec (IDeg) is a basal insulin with a mean half-life of over 25 h and
a flat glucose-lowering profile. The phase 3a development program demonstrated HbA1c
non-inferiority with IDeg in patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes
versus insulin glargine (IGlar) U100, and significantly reduced rates of overall symptomatic
and asymptomatic hypoglycemia (T2D) and nocturnal symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia
(T1D and T2D) that were most pronounced in the maintenance period. 4 In two phase
3b trials in patients with T1D (SWITCH 1) and T2D (SWITCH 2, rates of overall symptomatic
and nocturnal symptomatic hypoglycemia with IDeg versus IGlar U100 were lower in both
the maintenance and full treatment periods. Rates of severe hypoglycemia with IDeg
versus IGlar U100 were lower in both the maintenance and full treatment periods in
SWITCH 1, but only during the full treatment period in SWITCH 2 Two 64-week, double-blind,
treat-to-target crossover trials compared the hypoglycemia risk of IDeg once daily
(OD) vs. IGlar OD in type 1 (SWITCH 1) or type 2 diabetes (SWITCH 2). A1C non-inferiority
was confirmed in both trials. SWITCH 1 had a significant reduction in hypoglycemia
in the maintenance period across hypoglycemia definitions with IDeg vs. IGlar. SWITCH
2 also had a significant reduction across definitions in the maintenance period with
IDeg, except severe hypoglycemia (due to the few events reported), although the rate
ratio was comparable with the other definitions (Figs. 1, 2). Similar reductions were
seen in the full treatment period. Overall, hypoglycemia reductions were consistent
across hypoglycemia definitions, especially during the nocturnal period

Case report: Two female patients with 26 (patient 1) and 22 (patient 2) years old
were included in this report. They were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM
1) at 5 and 6 years respectively and were referred to our service due to frequent
episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) despite the use of continuous subcutaneous
insulin infusion pump. It was suspected of diabetes mellitus with resistance to insulin
administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly (DRIASM). Patient 1 underwent an isolated
pancreas transplantation (PTA), with chronic rejection after 13 months. After the
loss of pancreatic allograft, she was hospitalized several times due to DKA. After
that it was decided to perform a therapeutic test with IDeg. In December 2015, she
started to use insulin degludec (IDeg), with reduction of hospitalizations. She remained
in use of IDeg 80 UI/d and lispro 600 UI/d. Patient 2 was successfully submitted to
PTA, with allograft loss after 15 months. An insulin challenge test was performed
with SC and IM NPH/Glargina/Detemir and IV regular insulin. There was a reduction
in plasma glucose and an increase in plasma insulin with IV insulin, as opposed to
SC or IM routes. To prove the effectiveness of IDeg, we measured insulin, C-peptide
and glycemia after SC administration of IDeg-70 UI (Table 1). The patient maintained
glycemia between 55 and 107 mg/dL and a detectable plasma insulin (75.7 μUI/mL) with
2 episodes of hipoglycemia (Fig. 1). She remained in use of IDeg 80 UI/d and aspart
2000 UI/d.

Discussion: DRIASM is a rare syndrome, characterized by extreme resistance to SC and
IM insulin, whose pathophysiology remains unknown [1]. There are few treatments available
and most are ineffective. The use of intraperitoneal insulin pump is the therapy with
the best result so far, but it is not available in Brazil [2]. Another possibility
is the PTA, initially proposed by our group and then performed in other countries
[3]. IDeg is a new-generation basal insulin analogue, formulated in the presence of
phenol and zinc to create a solution of di-hexamers. After SC injection, the di-hexamers
form a stable depot of multi-hexamer chains, with gradual dissociation of these chains
into absorbed monomers [4]. According to our test IDeg was able to be absorbed and
to reduce plasma glucose differently from all previously basal insulins.
Conclusion: IDeg was effective in the treatment of DRIASM, with reduction in hospital
admissions and DKA episodes.

The aim of this multiple-dosing, crossover, euglycemic glucose clamp study was to
compare steady-state PK/PD profiles of Gla-300 vs. Deg-100 in two parallel cohorts
with fixed once-daily dosing regimens in T1DM. For both insulins, participants received
0.4 (n = 24) or 0.6 U/kg/day (n = 24) at ~ 8 am for 8 days. Main endpoint: within-day
variability (fluctuation) of smoothed glucose infusion rate (GIR) over a 24-h dosing
period (GIR-smFL0-24). Other endpoints: relative degree of serum insulin concentration
(INS) 24-h fluctuation (Frel), area under the INS time curve (INS-AUC). Within-day
GIR variability (GIR-smFL0-24) was 20% lower with Gla-300 vs. Deg-100 at 0.4 U/kg/day
(p = 0.047; Figure) but comparable at the 0.6 U/kg/day dose. Gla-300 provided more
constant PK profiles than Deg-100 at both the 0.4 (Figure) and 0.6 U/kg/day dose levels;
the relative degree of INS fluctuation (Frel) of Gla-300 was 13% and 17% lower vs.
Deg-100 at 0.4 and 0.6 U/kg/day, respectively. Distribution of INS-AUC0-24 (6-h fractions;
0–6, 6–12, 12–18 and 18–24 h) was consistently more even with Gla-300 (25, 26, 26
and 23%) than with Deg-100 (23, 29, 26 and 21% [data the same at both dose levels]).
Morning dosing of Gla-300 provides more even 24-h action profiles in T1DM at 0.4 U/kg/day
and more constant steady-state serum concentrations vs. Deg-100, consistently across
dose levels. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented at ADA2017. Funding and

Background and aims: iGlarLixi is a once-daily titratable, single injection of a fixed-ratio
combination of insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100) and lixisenatide, and is in development
for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Materials and methods: This post hoc analysis compared glycemic variability (GV) as
measured by the high blood-glucose index (HBGI) and area under the curve (AUC) of
patient self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) 7-point profile data from the Phase 3,
30-week LixiLan-O trial comparing iGlarLixi, Gla-100, and lixisenatide in 1170 patients
uncontrolled on metformin ± 1 other oral antidiabetes drug [OAD], and the LixiLan-L
trial comparing iGlarLixi with Gla-100 in 736 patients uncontrolled on basal insulin ± 1
or 2 OADs. In both trials, only metformin was continued upon study initiation and
dosing was either optimized up to 2000 mg/day or stabilized ≥ 1500 mg/day.
Results: Compared with Gla-100 or lixisenatide alone, iGlarLixi resulted in a statistically
significant improvement in GV profiles as indicated by the HBGI and AUC metrics (see
Table), without a clinically significant change in the low blood-glucose index as
a proxy for hypoglycemia (remaining < 1.0 for all). In addition, statistically significant
mean blood-glucose level reductions were achieved.
Conclusion: In conclusion, iGlarLixi demonstrated a cumulative decrease in GV, greater
than each of its components (Gla-100 and lixisenatide), in both the LixiLan-O and
LixiLan-L trials. Study codes: NCT02058160 and NCT02058147. This is an ENCORE abstract

Introduction: There is evidence of association between obstructive sleep apnea and
insulin resistance, as well as, to fat deposition in the pancreas in a similar way
to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Objective: Demonstrate the interaction between obstructive sleep apnea, insulin resistance
and non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) by signaling pathway design.
Method: To investigate the involvement of metabolic signaling pathway, a search was
performed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and the signaling
pathway mapping was performed using the automatic annotation server of the KEGG. The
signaling pathway map was realized using PathVisio program, a free available signaling
pathway drawing software.
Results: The contigs were taken from the KEGG database and their mapped transcription
represents the signaling pathway of the main biomolecules that triggers NAFPD. The
interaction between obstructive sleep apnea, insulin resistance and inflammatory factors
contributes to the possible development of fatty infiltration of the pancreas leading
to the loss of β cells function, and even have links to the development of other metabolic
disease (Fig. 1).

Conclusion: The interaction between obstructive sleep apnea and insulin resistance
demonstrated through the signaling pathway, contributes to the possible development

Introduction: Intestinal parasite are an important cause of morbidity and mortality
in developing countries, and are now considered as an important health problem in
immunocompromised people worldwide. Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a group of metabolic
diseases that affect an estimated 400 million persons. Diabetics have been reported
to be immunocompromised, and are at increased risk of certain infections. However,
few dates are shown about the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in DM2,
as well the risk factors involved in the acquisition of these parasitic infections.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and type of intestinal
parasites in DM2 patients.
Method: This is a case–control study conducted in 149 individuals, being 97 patients
with DM2, and 52 individuals not carrying DM2. Questionnaires were applied in all
patients, A1c level were checked and three fresh stool samples were obtained and submitted
to parasitological methods of Hoffman, Rugai and agar plate culture. Data were analyzed
using Chi square and logistic regression tests.
Results: The positivity of parasitic infections in DM2 was 30.9% versus 23.2% in the
control group (p = 0.308). The most detected infection in DM2 patients was Blastocystis
hominis (12.4%), followed by Endolimax nana (13.4%), and no statistical difference
was observed between the two groups analyzed. No condition was associated with intestinal
parasites infections, including DM2, but patients with higher levels of A1c had more
positive tests (p = 0.006), suggesting that poor metabolic control may be a risk factor.
Conclusion: Patients with DM2 might be at an increased risk of infections with intestinal
parasites, especially opportunistic infection, and routine stool examination should
be considered for those with worse metabolic control.
A240 Ipilimumabe and endocrinological colateral effects: case report

In the last couple of years, monoclonal antibodies have emerged as effective therapies
for advanced neoplasms. Ipilimumab was the first inhibitor of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated
antigen-4 (CTLA-4) to demonstrate an improvement in the survival of metastatic melanoma.
CTLA-4 is expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes and transmits an inhibitory signal
through its B7-1/2 linker. In blocking the CTLA-4, Ipilimumab promotes an enhancement
of T cell activation against neoplasms. During the treatment, the activation of these
cells can also be directed to different organs/tissues and affect the skin (dermatitis),
gastrointestinal tract (colitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis), lung (pneumonitis) and
endocrine glands (thyroiditis, hypophysitis, adrenalitis). The purpose of this research
is to narrate the case of a patient with metastatic melanoma submitted to adjuvant
treatment with Ipilimumab who evolved with hypophysitis and pancreatitis, in addition
to secondary diabetes, becoming insulin-dependent. The patient is a 66 years old male
previously healthy, with a diagnosis of metastatic melanoma. He was subjected to surgical
removal of the skin lesion and infraclavicular lymph node, in addition to adjuvant
treatment with Ipilimumab. He performed four cycles of this medication and evolved
with asthenia, headache, abdominal pain and hyperglycemia, about 3 weeks after the
last cycle. He was hospitalized and during the medical investigation the following
were detected: low ACTH, low cortisol and hyperprolactinemia—characterizing hypophysitis.
Furthermore, there was an elevation of amylase and lipase and hyperglycemia, with
levels above 400 mg/dL, requiring insulinization. The treatment with Prednisona 1 mg/Kg/dia
lasted 1 month and the patient was discharged with a progressive weaning schedule
program after such period. He remained with decompensated Diabetes at the outpatient
level which made necessary frequent adjustments of dosage and full insulin therapy
maintenance with Toujeo and Humalog insulins. Currently he is using Prednisone 10 mg/day,
still without reevaluation of the corticotrophic axis. Given this scenario, we conclude
that despite the undeniable advances on the treatments with monoclonal antibodies
against solid neoplasias, especially melanoma, it is necessary an interdisciplinary
follow up with these patients, besides the incorporation of guidelines for the effective
management of side effects, allowing the safe use of this modality of treatment expanding

Repeated episodes of hypoglycemia are associated with an increased risk of adverse
clinical outcomes. Underlying patient characteristics may predispose to repeated hypoglycemia.
We evaluated potential patient predisposition to documented hypoglycemia in pooled
data (N = 2488) from 3 T2DM clinical trials of Gla-300 vs. Gla-100 and their 6-month
extensions (N = 1994). 14 patients were removed due to missing baseline data. Monthly
study data were analyzed with general estimating equations (GEE) to assess the impact
of patient characteristics on risk of repeated hypoglycemic events over 12 months.
Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups: mean age 59 years, BMI 35 kg/m2,
A1C 8.3%, diabetes duration 13 years, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) 0.56 for
Gla-300 vs. 0.60 for Gla-100. Less documented (≤ 70 mg/dL) symptomatic hypoglycemia
was noted with Gla-300 vs. Gla-100 (57.0% vs. 63.3%, odds ratio = 0.77, 95% CI 0.65–0.90,
P = 0.001). Female gender (P < 0.001), BMI ≤ 35 kg/m2 (P < 0.001), CCI > 0.60 (P = 0.017),
and diabetes duration > 10 years (P = 0.001) were associated with an increased number
of documented, symptomatic hypoglycemia events. Poisson regression showed a lower
event rate for Gla-300 vs. Gla-100 (4.4 vs. 5.2 events/year; rate ratio 0.84, 95%
CI 0.76–0.92, P < 0.001) independent of patient characteristics. Furthermore, monthly
percentage of patients experiencing documented hypoglycemia increased in Gla-100 but
stayed unchanged in Gla-300 over CCI (P Interaction = 0.017). In conclusion, repeated
episodes of documented hypoglycemia in T2DM are reflective of such patient characteristics
as gender, BMI, diabetes duration and comorbidity. Gla-300 is associated with a lower
event rate than Gla-100 through the 12 months period. In particular, increasing hypoglycemia
risk due to patient burden of comorbidity appears to be mitigated with Gla-300 compared
to Gla-100. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented at ADA2015. Funding and

Introduction: Article 196 of Brazilian Federal Constitution defines that health is
a right of every citizen and a duty of the Nation and it is guaranteed by social and
economic policies that aim to reduce disease risks and other injuries. There are an
increased number of patients that sue the governments to request free items for diabetes
mellitus treatment.
Aims: To analyse the items asked in the solicitations: insulins, oral medication and
supplies that are already given for free by federal, state and county governments
in 2014 due to legal actions to get diabetes mellitus treatments in the county of
Juiz de Fora.
Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective documentary study in which document
copies related to legal actions requesting material for diabetes treatment against
Juiz de Fora City Council were analysed. There were included accepted or partially
accepted treatments between 2005 and 2014. There were excluded treatments related
to deceased patients before 2014 or discontinued treatment. Data bank was made using
Excel 2010 and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15.0.
Results: The sample was 254 documental copies of legal action. 26.38% have no free
items required; in 23.23% all the items were already dispensed with no extra costs
by Unified Health System (SUS); in 50.39% only some items were already dispensed by
SUS. This means that in 73.62% of solicitations there were at least one item that
is already free giving. There were 36 NPH insulin; 16 insulin regular; 40 glargine
insulin; 11 metformin; 4 gliclazide; 1 glibenclamide; 58 disposable syringes; 73 lancets;
16 glucose test strips solicitations. When analysing these request annually there
is a downward trend maybe because some judges started to refuse to give some SUS itens
to the patients after doing a technical research to verify if those were already dispensed
by SUS.
Conclusion: There is more than one way to get free diabetes treatment itens in Brazil
but they are still requested and this indicates financial waste. These itens when
requested by legal actions are more expensive due to fewer amounts of items to purchase
and the urgency involved. It is important to guarantee that the patient is getting
his or her treatment in SUS pharmacies to avoid more expensive purchases and financial
waste.

Introduction: Indigenous health policy has been traditionally neglected in Brazil.
It is unclear the prevalence of diabetes-related complications in this population.
Aim: To assess kidney impairment among Fulni-Ô indigenous people with diabetes.
Method: PAI is a transversal study that included in the pilot phase 47 low urbanized
Fulni-Ô indigenous people from Águas Belas (Pernambuco), aged between 30 and 70 years,
after excluding those with history of cardiovascular diseases or that refused blood
collection. Diabetes was defined if HbA1c ≥ 6.5% or if in use of hypoglycemic drugs.
Serum creatinine values were used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration
rate (eGFR) of each participant, using the modified MDRD formula: eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m
2) = 186 × (creatinine) − 1.154 × (age) − 0.203 × 0.742 (if female). Then, kidney
impairment was classified based on eGFR values: stage 1 ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2; stage
2 = 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2; stage 3A = 45–59 mL/min/1.73 m2; stage 3B = 30–44 mL/min/1.73
m2; stage 4 = 15–29 mL/min/1.73 m2; and stage 5 < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2. Variables were
described in their averages ± standard deviation or proportions; t test was used to
assess sex related differences. The study was approved by the National Ethics Committee,
approval number 1.488.268. Informed consent to publish has been obtained from these
patients.
Results: Of the 47 indigenous people, 15 had diabetes. Of those with diabetes, the
average age was 58.5 ± 11.5 years and 80% were females. The average serum creatinine
of both sexes was 0.96 mg/dL. The average eGFR in male Funli-Ô indigenous people was
84.05 ± 1.45 ml/min/1.73m2, compared to 63.75 ± 2.55 ml/min/1.73m2 in female participants
(p < 0.01). One female participant was in Stage 1 for kidney impairment, 72.7% were
in Stage 2, and 18% were in stage 3A. All male participants were in kidney impairment
Stage 2.
Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of initial staged kidney disease in Fulni-Ô
indigenous people with diabetes (Águas Belas-Pernambuco). Indigenous with diabetes
were mostly females above 40 years old, classified in Stage 2 kidney disease based
on their estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Introduction: Several studies have already demonstrated the importance of glycemic
control among diabetic patients, as well as adequate blood pressure, lipid and obesity
control. However, it is not uncommon for some of these factors to be poorly controlled
in diabetic individuals, especially postmenopausal women, when the insulin resistance
phenotype is accentuated, which may make it difficult to control the disease.
Objectives: To determine the glycemic and lipid profiles of postmenopausal women with
type 2 diabetes (DM2) and to compare them with the goals established by the Brazilian
Society of Diabetes (SBD).
Material/methods: A cross-sectional study was performed between August/2016 and March/2017
with postmenopausal type 2 diabetic women. To obtain the data, the information of
anamnesis, physical examination and the following biochemical parameters were analyzed
retrospectively: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting glycemia (GJ), total cholesterol
(TC), HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG). The data obtained
were compared with the values proposed as targets by SBD.
Results: A total of 238 patients were studied, mean age 59.5 years (46–73 years) and
mean duration of diabetes 12.3 ± 8.4 years. Fasting glycemia 124.2 ± 46.1 mg/dl and
HbA1c 6.7 ± 1.6%. HbA1c ≤ 7.0%, 7.1–8.5% and ≥ 8.6% were found in 61, 26 and 13% of
the patients, respectively. Patients who achieved the goals proposed by SBD were:
72% CT < 200 mg/dl, 39% HDL > 50 mg/dl, 66% LDL < 100 mg/dl and 62% TG < 150 mg/dl.
Conclusions: In our study, despite the heterogeneity in the achievement of the goals,
the majority presented glycemic and lipid controls consistent with the current guidelines.
We emphasize the need for effective therapeutic measures for the improvement of glycemic
and metabolic controls, since a considerable percentage of patients did not reach
the proposed goals, with a consequent impact on morbidity and mortality (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Among the many complications caused by diabetes, late healing is one
of the most recurrent. Angiogenesis deficiencies can also lead to delay the tissue
repair and a great deal of effort has been devoted to the production of new drugs
and other agents capable of promoting a safe and an effective healing. It is known
that phototherapy has an important action on oxidative stress markers, due to the
significant decreases of fibrinogen and nitric oxide plasma levels.
Objective: To analyze the effects of laser in the healing process of plantar ulcers
and the quality of life of diabetics with peripheral neuropathy.
Methods: An intervention study accomplished at a Health Center in the city of Fortaleza,
from May to July, 2017. Ten calls were performed, twice a week for each participant.
Wounds were treated with the Laser As-Ga (Sonomaster, brand KW®), with an intensity
of 7 J/cm2, an application time of 28 s, in a punctual way, with contact and with
the pen perpendicular to the lesion, in equidistant points for 30 min. To evaluate
the plantar ulcer size, the measurement was performed using an analog pachymeter at
the beginning and at the end of the study, considering the dimensions (height x width).
Beside this, was applied a questionnaire of quality life measure in diabetes and the
questionnaire of self-care activity with diabetes. The results were expressed as mean ± standard
deviation and presented as a percentage. T test was used to compare the pre and the
post therapy, being considered statistically significant when p ≤ 0.05.
Results: In relation to ulcer size, a statistically significant reduction of 73.7%

Case presentation: E. O. B., 56, body mass index (BMI) of 19.1 kg/m2, alcoholic, with
history of diabetes in the family, was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM
2) 2 years ago, because of the results of his fasting glycemia, glycated hemoglobin,
and disease symptoms. He initiated treatment with anti-diabetic medications: first
with Metformin, and then Glicazide, and Alogliptin, but demonstrated no success in
decreasing his blood glucose. Due to his diabetes decompensation, he had to be hospitalized
so that his poor condition could be evaluated. After being discharged from the hospital,
he was still using insulin, when it became necessary to verify the antibody of the
anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (AB anti-GAD) and C-peptide to test for latent autoimmune
diabetes of adult (LADA), because a refractory treatment to the hypoglycemic and low
BMI was observed, even though his alcoholism was a well-known situation. The result
of the AB anti-GAD was of 1078 UI/mL (negative − less than < 10), and low C-peptide = 1.05 ng/mL
(1.10–3.0).
Discussion: There is a variation of the Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM 1) called Latent
Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults (LADA) characterized by being a late-onset diabetes,
and being often mistaken with DM 2. Especially in older patients, as seen in this
case, therefore, these patients are treated by us, doctors, as someone whose diabetes
is not controlled because they do not want to change their eating, health and physical
habits. Clinically, LADA appears in adulthood and it presents refractory responses
to oral hypoglycemic for a short follow-up period. LADA has predominantly AB anti-GAD
and low C-peptide, reflecting the endogenous insulinpenia. These patients develop
a pancreatic beta-cell failure which is considered slower than the failure observed
in juvenile DM type 1.
Conclusion: It is important to identify and investigate this clinical entity, so often
mistaken with DM 2 and that, because of negligence, continues to be treated as DM
2. To evaluate the type of DM, an earlier introduction of insulin therapy would be
necessary, and would avoid ineffective treatments, as well as the early and complete
failure of the pancreas, especially in chronic macro- and microvascular complications
of the disease.

C.M, a female patient, started her follow-up at the age of 29, BMI 19 kg/m2, with
previous diagnosis of gestational diabetes without the need for insulin, which remained
as type-2 diabetes. 3 years after the diagnosis, we evaluated her positive anti-islet
antibodies (IAA) in low titration and negative anti-decarboxylase anti-GAD antibody
establishing the diagnosis of LADA-type diabetes. 6 years after the diagnosis she
presented thyroid disease with positive anti-thyrotropin (anti-TPO). For 6 years,
the patient used oral hypoglycemic agents: Glibenclamide and Metformin. The use of
insulin was introduced when the oral antidiabetics, even at maximum dose, weren’t
sufficient to maintain acceptable glycemic levels. LADA diabetes affects approximately
12% of the patients diagnosed with DM 2, with the diagnosis made more difficult due
to lack of knowledge about the disease, the diversity of the population studied and
the divergence of the criteria used and the antibodies evaluated. The Fourlanos 2006
diagnostic criteria are among the most accepted and include ages < 50 to the diagnosis,
the presence of acute symptoms, BMI < 25 kg/m2, personal or family history of other
autoimmune diseases. If there are two of these clinical characteristics, the dosage
of antibodies is requested to confirm the diagnosis; however, it is known that over
time, the antibodies can become negative. Although anti-GAD is more prevalent, it
isn’t the only one capable of confirming the diagnosis. Other diagnostic criteria
are the absence of ketoacidosis or symptomatic hyperglycemia during or immediately
after the diagnosis, no need for insulin for 6–12 months. The patient was 29 years
old at the beginning of the disease, positive IAA and a personal history of thyroid
disease with positive anti-TPO; she presented acute symptoms and did not present ketoacidosis
and symptomatic hyperglycemia. One particularity is that the patient didn’t use insulin
for 6 years, which is usually of 6–12 months, extrapolating for a maximum of 2 years.
She is currently 49, maintains regular glycemic control and uses Glargine and Lispro
insulin. The fact that the patient had an atypical latency period leads one to question
whether the quantitative ratio of other antibodies, in this case IAA, influences in
the prognosis in the same manner as anti-GAD.

Introduction: Due to the increasing number of diabetic individuals worldwide, the
practice of physical exercise has been recommended, not only as a prophylactic factor,
but also as a low cost non-pharmacological intervention. But for the exercise to bring
the necessary results to the diabetic individuals it is necessary that the Physical
Education professional who will act in the prescription of the exercises understand
about the existing types of Diabetes and which exercise strategy can be performed
by them.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of physical education students
about the types of diabetes and correlate them with the types of physical exercise.
Methods: N of 10 students from the 6th period of Physical Education of the Federal
University of Mining Triangle participated in our study, from which they had to answer
five questions about types of Diabetes and exercises for this population. The data
was tabulated in Microsoft Excel 2007.
Results: The results showed that only 40% (n = 4) of the students were aware of the
existing types of diabetes and in relation to physical exercise, 60% (n = 6) knew
which exercises could be used by this population.
Conclusion: In this way we conclude that the data obtained suggest that within this
group, there is a lack of knowledge so that they can work with this population. Thus,
measures such as increasing focus on disciplines dealing with this type of disease
and the prescription of exercises could be better developed.

Introduction: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the association between type
2 diabetes (DM2) with development of several types of cancer that could be explained
by different biological processes of pathophysiology of the DM2.
Objective: Demonstrate the interaction between DM2, insulin resistance and cancer
by signaling pathway design.
Method: To investigate the link between diabetes and cancer, a search was performed
using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and the signaling pathway
mapping was performed using the automatic annotation server of the KEGG. The signaling
pathway map was realized using PathVisio program, a free available signaling pathway
drawing software.
Results: The contigs were taken from the KEGG database and their mapped transcription
represents the signaling pathway of the main biomolecules that triggers cancer. The
interaction between DM2 and insulin resistance contributes to the possible development
of several types of cancer (Fig. 1).
Conclusion: At the cellular level, an excessive amount of molecules acting through
distinct signaling pathways suggests a link between the multiple signaling pathways
at the association between DM2 and cancer (Fig. 1).

Abstract: Lipids are organic components that plays as distributors of tissue fat,
and their disorders can lead to side effects, such as in use of drugs like prednisone,
a synthetic glucocorticoid with immunosuppressive action. In addition, experimental
studies of effects of different doses are important in assessing the safety of a drug.
The objective was to evaluate the lipid biomarkers in rats treated with several doses
of prednisone. Male Wistar rats weighing 450–510 g were distributed in groups (n = 7
each): Control group (CONT) treated with vehicle; and treated groups with prednisone
(PRED) at doses of 2.5 mg/Kg (PRD1 group) and 5.0 mg/Kg (PRD2 group). The treatment
was daily for of 21 days, with weekly measures of body weight, food consumption and
calories ingested on days 0, 8 and 16 of treatment. On the last day, the caloric gain
was evaluated and then the rats were anesthetized and killed by decapitation to collect
the whole blood for serum biochemical analyzes. All data were statistically evaluated
with significance of 5%.
Results and conclusions: There were no differences in body weight, dietary intake
and serum triglyceride biomarkers, total cholesterol, VLDL and LDL lipoproteins, and
non-HDL cholesterol (p > 0.05). However, in CONT and PRD2 rats, the amount of calories
ingested on the 16th day of treatment was higher (CONT = 97.2 ± 16.9 and PRD2 = 93.2 ± 20.4 kcal/day)
compared to days 0 CONT = 59.0 ± 14.6 and PRD2 = 63.7 ± 12.3 kcal/day) and 8 of treatment
(CONT = 62.0 ± 24.6 and PRD2 = 69.0 ± 18.1 kcal/day). The caloric gain and the high
density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were lower in the PRD1 group than in the CONT group
(caloric gain: PRD1 = 0.079 ± 0.040 vs. CONT = 1.90 ± 0.031 kcal/day/weight and HDL:
PRD1 = 14.80 ± 8.54 vs. CONT = 28.80 ± 4.16 mg/dL). The exposure of moderate doses
of prednisone in a short period of time is capable of developing long-term dyslipidemia
(mainly by HDL decreasing), suggesting its use with caution. In addition, longer exposure
to the drug could induce more obvious and significant lipid changes.

Background: The effects of liraglutide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)
analog, on renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes are unknown. We conducted a randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing liraglutide vs placebo, both on a
background of standard of care, in participants with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular
risk.
Methods: The Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes: Evaluation of cardiovascular
outcome Results (LEADER) trial was initiated in 2010 and completed in 2015. Renal
events were key secondary outcomes. The primary renal outcome was a composite of new
onset of persistent macroalbuminuria, persistent doubling of serum creatinine, end
stage renal disease (ESRD), or death due to renal disease. Risk of renal outcomes
was determined using intention-to-treat in time-to-event analyses; competing risk
of death was taken into account. Change of eGFR and loss of eGFR by > − 30% was also
analyzed.
Results: 9340 patients were randomized and median follow-up was 3.84 years. The primary
renal outcome occurred in fewer participants treated with liraglutide (268 of 4668)
than with placebo (337 of 4672; HR 0.787 [0.670;0.924] p = 0.003). The difference
was primarily driven by new onset of persistent macroalbuminuria, occurring in fewer
participants treated with liraglutide (161 of 4668) than with placebo (215 of 4672;
HR 0.74 [0.61;0.91] p = 0.004). Doubling of serum creatinine and ESRD tended to be
less frequent with liraglutide. eGFR decreased significantly less and albuminuria
increased less with liraglutide than placebo. The difference in change of eGFR was
driven exclusively by the subgroup with eGFR < 60 ml/min at baseline (N = 2458). The
difference in change of albuminuria was independent of baseline eGFR or albuminuria.
Conclusions: In conclusion, liraglutide in addition to standard of care therapy reduced
the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Studies developed in the last decade have demonstrated an important relationship between
the levels hepatic markers and the development of diseases associated with type 2
Diabetes Mellitus; the main condition that justified this connection was non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH).
Aims: To analyse liver enzymes levels, correlating them with other clinical and laboratory
variables, in a group of diabetics.
Methods: The 78 patients were evaluated in two moments, at intervals of 3–6 months,
by the time of their routine endocrinological follow-up for the Diabetes, and data
obtained in both occasions were compared. Concomitantly with the liver enzymes levels,
age, body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose,
and haemoglobin A1c were evaluated, in search for correlations between the enzymatic
levels and the other clinical and laboratory variables.
Results: When the two moments were compared, there was not a significant difference
regarding the levels of AST (26.5 ± 13.9 vs. 27.4 ± 24.7 U/L; p = 0.7271), ALT (28.5 ± 25.9
vs. 27.3 ± 18.1 U/L; p = 0.6964) or GGT (45.0 ± 52.0 vs. 39.4 ± 40.2 U/L; p = 0.1301).
The levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP) decreased from the 1st to the 2nd evaluation
(74.2 ± 35.6 vs. 67.7 ± 28.0 U/L; p = 0.0085). In the multivariate analysis, BMI was
the main predictive factor for the AST (r2 = 0.0367; p = 0.0170) and GGT levels (r2 = 0.0673;
p = 0.0149), while abdominal circumference was the main determinant of those of ALT
(r2 = 0.0863; p = 0.0070). Regarding AP, a combined influence of age, systolic blood
pressure, and AST levels was identified (r2 = 0.3358; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In this sample, a relationship between hepatic enzymes and anthropometric
measures indicative of abdominal obesity, opposed to the absence of relationship between
hepatic enzymes levels and parameters of Diabetes control, suggests that measures
capable of controlling obesity would be more efficient than glycaemic control per
se to treat NASH in this population.

Introduction: It is in the interest of the scientific community the role of vitamin
D in the pathogenesis and prevention of diabetes. While the exact mechanism which
vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, several
different studies currently being developed point to one approach. Gestational diabetes
mellitus increases risk of type 2 diabetes in consecutive years. Thus, studies correlating
deficiency vitamin D and gestatitonal diabetes mellitus complemented others covering
type 2 diabetes. Several epidemiological studies have documented the vitamin D deficiency
as a frequent problems identified in the Brazilian adult population in different clinical
situations. However, the role of this a vitamin deficiency among patients with gestational
diabetes (GDM) is not clear.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the extent of vitamin D deficiency
among pregnant women who have been diagnosed with GDM.
Materials/methods: This was a cross-sectional study of a convenience sample comprising
pregnant women monitored between February 2016 and March 2017. All patients were diagnosed
with gestational diabetes and they referred for outpatient treatment of Division of
Endocrinology and Diabetes, Beneficencia Portuguesa Hospital, Sao Paulo, Brazil. For
this purpose, we determined the plasmatic levels of vitamin D at the first routine
medical visit. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as a 25(OH) D below 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/liter),
and vitamin d insufficiency as a 25 (OH) D of 21–29 ng/ml (525–725 nmol/liter) (Table 1).
Results: We studied 34 patients, mean age of 36.3 ± 8.4 years (27.9–44.7).The observed
prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency proved to be 29.4 and 44.1%,
respectively (Table 2). The disorder was previously known in 53.3% of cases and newly
diagnosed in 46.7% of patients.
Conclusion: Vitamin D acts as a potent immunosuppresor and its deficiency predisposes
to type 1 diabetes in animal models and in humans. Based on another line of analysis,
it is possible that the similar mechanism may be involved in other forms of diabetes,
as type 2 diabetes and/or GDM. Vitamin D supplementation has shown to reduce the risk
of developing type 1 diabetes or even minimize complications diabetes-related. And,
once more, in an analogous way we may suppose that similar results shall be attested
in future. With specific regard to GDM, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with
an increased risk of pre-eclampsia among pregnant women. The role of Vit D deficiency
in GDM is not clear. According to our data, low levels of vitamin D were highly prevalent
among patients with GDM. Due to the small sample size and absence of a control group,
future randomized clinical trials are required to answer the precise role of vitamin
D on glucose control after a gestational diabetes diagnosis was made (Fig. 1)

Protein restriction in the early stages of life can result in several changes in pancreatic
function. These alterations include documented reductions in insulin secretion and
in cytoplasmic calcium concentration. However, the mechanisms underlying these changes
have not been completely elucidated and may result, in part, from alterations in signaling
pathways that potentiate insulin secretion in the presence of glucose. Our findings
suggest that protein restriction disrupts the insulin secretory synergism between
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and Ca2+-dependent
protein kinase C (PKC) in isolated islets. Western blot analysis demonstrated reduced
levels of both phospho-cAMP response element-binding protein (phospho-CREB) at Ser-133
and substrates phosphorylated by PKCs (Phospho-(Ser) PKC substrate), suggesting that
PKA and PKC activity was impaired in islets from rats fed a low protein diet (LP).
cAMP levels and global Ca2+ entry were also reduced in LP islets. In summary, our
findings showed that protein restriction altered the crosstalk between PKA and PKC
signaling pathways, resulting in the alteration of secretory synergism in isolated
islets.

Objective: To evaluate clinical outcomes and HCU of pts with T2D using basal insulin
(BI) who switched to GLA-300 or other BI (O-BI).
Methods: DELIVER2 used data from Predictive Health Intelligence Environment database
of medical records representing 37 integrated delivery networks. Pts were adults with
T2D using BI who had baseline data for 12 months (m) before switching to either GLA-300
or O-BI from insulin glargine 100 units/mL or insulin detemir (index date [Dx]: first
BI switch from Mar 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016); followed for 6 m after Dx; had baseline
and follow-up (> 90 days after Dx) A1C measures. Final number of pts was 2185 for
GLA-300 and 3921 for O-BI. Pts on GLA-300 and O-BI were matched 1:1 on a propensity
score (PS) based on baseline characteristics. The endpoints were A1C change from baseline,
incidence and event rate of hypoglycemia (hypo) (identified by ICD-9/ICD-10 and/or
plasma glucose level ≤ 70 mg/dL), and HCU (incidence and event rate of all-cause,
diabetes-, and hypo-related visits) within 6 m.
Results: After PS matching, each group comprised 1827 pts. Mean baseline A1C was 8.95%
for GLA-300 and 8.93% for O-BI. A1C decreased significantly to 8.40 and 8.46%, respectively,
during 6 m follow-up in both groups: − 0.55% for GLA- 300 vs − 0.47% for O-BI; P = 0.14,
but fewer pts experienced hypo on GLA-300 than on O-BI (15.9% vs 18.2%; P = 0.01).
Adjusted for baseline hypo, switching to GLA-300 was associated with fewer hypo events
at 6 m (least squares means [LSM] difference: 0.23 events/per patient per year [E/PPPY],
P < 0.01). Pts on GLA-300 had a lower risk of requiring all-cause inpatient and emergency
room (ER) service vs O-BI at 6 m follow-up (adjusted odds ratio: inpatient 0.76 [0.63–0.93],
P = 0.01; ER 0.77 [0.66–0.91], P < 0.01). Pts on GLA-300 had fewer all-cause ER and
outpatient events (LSM difference: ER 0.18 E/PPPY, P = 0.01; outpatient 0.99 E/PPPY,
P < 0.01). Similarly, the outcomes of diabetes- and hypo-related HCU favored GLA-300.
Discussion: Switching to GLA-300 was associated with lower hypo risk vs switching
to O-BI. This translated into a lower incidence of inpatient and ER visits and fewer
events of all-cause and diabetes-related outpatient services. This real-world study
supports the effectiveness of GLA-300 in reducing risk of hypo and HCU while achieving
similar A1C control vs O-BI for pts with T2D. This is an ENCORE abstract previously

Introduction: During pregnancy, hyperglycaemia can lead to maternal and fetal complications,
causing metabolic changes. Alternatives are considered to treat diabetes and prevent
its complications, and one of these alternatives is the use of medicinal plants, such
as Morinda citrifolia, popularly known as Noni. However, there is no scientific evidence
of this plant effect during gestation.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the aqueous extract of Morinda citrifolia in
the metabolism of pregnant rats with mild intensity hyperglycemia.
Method: Diabetes was induced in newborn female Wistar rats, at 24 h after birth, by
subcutaneous injection of Streptozotocin at a single dose of 100 mg/kg. At 110 days
of age (adulthood), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to confirm the
mild diabetes model. After confirmation of the diabetes, the rats were mated and distributed
into 4 experimental groups (n = 12 animals/group): Control: Non-diabetic rats treated
with water; Control Treated: Nondiabetic rats treated with the plant; Diabetic: Diabetic
rats treated with water; Diabetic Treated: Diabetic rats treated with the plant. The
administration of the Morinda citrifolia fruits aqueous extract, at dose of 750 mg/kg,
was done daily, by gavage, throughout pregnancy. Corporal weight, water intake, food
consumption and glycaemia were evaluated weekly and on the 17th day of pregnancy the
OGTT was performed one more time. On the morning of the 21st day of pregnancy, the
rats were anesthetized and blood was collected for biochemical measurements. Heart,
liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys were weighted.
Results: There was no change in the maternal organ weight and in the water intake
among the groups. Body weight was decreased at the end of pregnancy in all groups,
and food intake was decreased in both treated groups. It was showed that both diabetic
groups presented higher glycaemia at the beginning of pregnancy and TOTG presented
high values before and during pregnancy. In addition, HDL-c level was decreased in
all groups in relation to Control.
Conclusion: Treatment with Morinda citrifolia failed to control hyperglycemia in diabetic
rats, and caused changes in body weight, food intake and biochemical parameters, showed
care of its use during gestation.

americana in the metabolism of pregnant rats with mild intensity hyperglycemia.
Method: Diabetes was induced in newborn female Wistar rats, at 24 h after birth, by
subcutaneous injection of Streptozotocin at a single dose of 100 mg/kg. At 110 days
of age (adulthood), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to confirm the
mild diabetes model. After confirmation of the diabetes, the rats were mated and distributed
into 4 experimental groups (n = 12 animals/group): Control: Non-diabetic rats treated
with water; Control Treated: Non-diabetic rats treated with the plant; Diabetic: Diabetic
rats treated with water; Diabetic Treated: Diabetic rats treated with the plant. The
administration of the Curatella americana leaves aqueous extract, at dose of 300 mg/kg,
was done daily, by gavage, throughout pregnancy. Corporal weight, water intake, food
consumption and glycaemia were evaluated weekly and on the 17th day of pregnancy the
OGTT was performed one more time. On the morning of the 21st day of pregnancy, the
rats were anesthetized and blood was collected for biochemical measurements. Heart,
liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys were weighted.
Results: There was no change in maternal weight of body and organs, and in food and
water intake between experimental groups. Moreover, both diabetic groups showed higher
glycaemia at the beginning of gestation and OGTT presented high values before and
during pregnancy. The treatment with the plant did not alter glycemic metabolism,
but a reduction in serum levels of triglycerides, cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol
in the Treated Diabetic group was observed.
Conclusion: Although treatment with Curatella americana failed to control hyperglycemia
in diabetic rats, there was an improvement in the lipid profile, showing a beneficial
effect of the plant in lipid metabolism.

Introduction: Matriciamento is the cooperation between teams and health services to
foment therapeutic projects and discourage user‘s “unresponsible” reference to subspecialties,
aiming at horizontalization through the restructuring of the health system. Data on
Matriciamento, focusing on diabetes (DM), are rare in the literature when compared
to mental health area which drives most of all.
Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile and glycemic control of diabetic
patients treated at a unit of basic care (UBS) of SUS-DF who were followed by Matriciamento
technique performed by endocrinologist and resident.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study was performed envolving
DM1 and DM2 patients, evaluated between January-2015 and May-2016, by electronic medical
record data (HbA1c, age, sex, insulin treatment and/or oral anti-diabetic agents -OAD).
Incomplete, unavailable or not elegible registers were excluded. Statistical analysis:
probabilities of bilateral significance (p < 0.05), comparison of data obtained from
bibliographic sources (Scielo and Pubmed).
Results: Initial inclusion was 1.575 records and final sample was 457 patients (70%
incomplete records were excluded), divided into DM2 and DM1 groups. The DM2 group
comprised 93 and 72.2% were female, mean age and HbA1c were 65.16 ± 11.2 years and
7.5 ± 1.7%., respectively, 46.4% of all had HbA1C < 7%. Aging stratification subdivided
sample into: Adults < 60 years, Elderly 60–80 years a “super” Elderly > 80 years;
glycemic targets by means of HbA1c followed SBD 2016 Guidelines. The best control
was verified among “super” Elderly patients: 77.2% showed HbA1C < 8.5%; in the Elderly
group, 62% reached HbA1C < 7.5%; while the Adult group had the lower percentage of
its target: 52.4% had HbA1C < 7%. Among patients with DM2 and HbA1C < 7%, 22% were
treated with insulin, 53% OAD and 25% insulin + OAD. There was a significant difference
in the proportions of insulin, OAD and insulin + OAD among groups with HbA1c < 7%
and HbA1c > 7%: 15.7% vs 39.5%, p < 0.0001, respectively. DM1 sample of DM1 was too
small: only 7% (32, 18 female, age 37 ± 16.3 years and only 18.8% had HbA1C < 7%).
Conclusion: Good control was found in 46.4% of the sample mainly among patients over
60 years old, in contrast to only the 15% of the Brazilian multicentric 2007 study
who achieved HbA1c < 7.0%. In addition, in 2012 only 10.4% of patients with DM1 had
HbA1c ≤ 7%, and 26.8% with DM2. The exclusion of incomplete data was expressive (70%)
and translates failure of registration in SUS. However, horizontalization actions
by Matriciamento, with focus on DM, are urged to be disseminated in the SUS by the
possibility of improving clinical records, improving knowledge of the situation and
increasing interventionist actions that result in better control and unnecessary referrals
to medium and high complexity

Case presentation: T. K. O. M, 14, 76 kg, body mass index (BMI) of 23.5 kg/m2, diagnosed
when he was 6 years old with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 1, even though no diabetic
ketoacidosis, and negative laboratory dosages of antibodies in the pancreas were observed.
Insulin therapy was initiated. Over the years, his glycemic index became difficult
to be controlled, even though the patient was treated with ultra-long acting insulin
once a day and ultra-rapid acting insulin three times a day, followed a specific diet
and exercised regularly. After re-evaluating his anamnesis, it was noticed that this
pathology ran on three generations of the family (father, grandfather and great-grandmother
from his father side of the family and some relatives from his mother side of the
family.) After these conclusions, it was requested a genetic test for monogenic diabetes
mellitus, Maturity onset diabetes of the Young (MODY), which showed a mutation in
a transcription factor (HNF-1α), characterizing the DM MODY 3.
Discussion: MODY is considered a type of diabetes which runs in the family, and mostly,
the patient is diagnosed in the young-adult phase or when there are glycemic alterations
until the patient turns 55 years old. It is estimated that 5% of the DM 1 or 2 are,
actually, MODYs. The disease presents an autosomal dominant transmission mode (mostly
seen when three generations of the same lineage are affected). Health professionals
tend to suspect cases of MODY when the diagnosis is made before the patient turns
25. Today, we are aware of fourteen different genes, being MODY 2 and 3 the most common
ones. MODY 3 is secondary to mutations in a transcription factor (HNF-1α), and its
role seems to be fundamental in the physiology of the pancreatic islets, appearing
in a later phase, often after puberty (which was not our patient’s case) and proving
how important the family history is. From the clinical point of view, MODY 3 is usually
more aggressive than 2.
Conclusion: It is fundamental to make a detailed anamnesis because the data acquired
from the family history can guide the clinical diagnosis, since it is a pathology
linked to often underdiagnosed autosomal dominant genetic inheritance. It is important
to verify the type of diabetes to provide the best treatment possible, improving the
prognosis with respect to chronic complications secondary to poor metabolic control
that will allow the diagnostic of other family members who are not aware of their
health conditions. The systematic routine evaluation of MODY has been made in many
countries, and has become an important tendency to insert this extremely important
test in the diabetology practice.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Phytotherapy is an area designed to study plants in their various pharmaceutical
forms, being they, through popular use and/or through scientific studies. After decades
of forgetting its applicability, the medicinal plants return to be used in a significant
way, with the intention of acting as a medicament, be it preventive, palliative or
curative.
Objective: This research aims at a bibliographical review of plant species indicated
for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. According to the literature, some medicinal
plants have studies proving its efficacy on the aforementioned pathology.
Methodology: The methodology applied in this research is a theoretical review in the
main databases, of which: Lilacs, MedLine, PubMed and Scielo, as well as in technical
literature, reference sites and scientific journals related to the main subject of
study with based on the keywords. The survey of the studies related to this topic
was analyzed in periodicals between the years 2000–2016, however, publications with
a high impact value were not excluded if the period of validity is not adequate.
Results: In the light of the above, it was possible to verify or even prove the effectiveness
of the use of the most diverse species of medicinal plants on the therapy of patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hoping to recover old conducts with current application
and stimulate the prescription of professionals in the field of nutrition with safety
in clinical practice.
Conclusion: The use of medicinal plants is a valuable resource to be used in patients
with DM2, in which it was possible to verify the use of 11 phytotherapies in a beneficial
way to the diabetic patient, but the main highlights of this research associated with
pathology were (Bauhinia fortificata), its application can be proven from the empirical
to the scientific studies and the shell of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), in which
it presents in its composition a great quantity of soluble fibers in particular the
pectin, substance with potential important for glycemic control. However, it is up
to the professional nutritionist to be able to know the plants versus the pathology
to prescribe their phytotherapic in a suitable way.

Introduction: Characterized by a complex set of diseases, of multigenic and multifactorial
etiology, Diabetes is frequently associated with irreversible acute and chronic metabolic
complications. In this direction, to stop the progression of the disease, it is necessary,
among other measures, adherence to oral antidiabetics and the control of metabolic
biomarkers. However, the inconsistency and lack of robustness of the data that trace
a direct relationship between adherence and metabolic control brings to the fore the
need for further study on the subject.
Aim: Analyze the relationship between adherence to oral antidiabetics and metabolic
control of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 201 people with type 2 diabetes,
followed by 17 Basic Health Units in the city of Floriano, Piauí. Included in the
study were adults, exclusively for oral antidiabetic agents. Anthropometric and clinical
data, as well as those related to drug adherence, were measured. As metabolic variables
we investigated fasting glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol,
LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. The research was approved by the Committee
of Ethics in Research with Human Beings of the Federal University of Piauí, under
number 485.420.
Results: Of the 201 patients investigated, 72.6% were female, 71.1% were sedentary
and 71.6% were overweight. When drug adherence was assessed using the adapted Morisky‘s
test, only 23.9% of the sample was considered adherent. Regarding metabolic control,
the values of glycated hemoglobin, fasting glycemia, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, total
cholesterol and blood pressure were altered in 71.3, 68.9, 53.9%, 33, 8, 88.5, 47.6
and 29.4% of the sample, respectively (Table 1).
Conclusion: When adhering to antidibetes, patients with type 2 diabetes have better
levels of glycated hemoglobin and total cholesterol. Men have greater control of fractions
of triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol. In addition, blood pressure levels are
better controlled among patients who exercise regularly and do not use alcohol, generating
better control of fasting blood glucose levels. Intervention studies should be performed
with new technologies in the quest to encourage healthy lifestyle habits, as well
as stimulate adherence to antidiabetics. (Fig. 1)

Backgrounds: Some studies have shown that patients using the continuous subcutaneous
insulin infusion system (CSII) have improved metabolic control and lower risk of hypoglycemia,
especially when associated to continuous glucose monitoring system.
Aim: To access the metabolic control of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) patients using subcutaneous
continuous insulin infusion system.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 59 T1DM patients treated
with CSII from a cohort of 3330 patients with diabetes diagnosed in the pediatric
age group followed at a reference regional diabetes center. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
was performed every 3–4 months (Immunoturbidimetry, normal range value: 4.8–5.9%)
and mean average over the follow-up years.
Results: 132 therapeutic tests were performed with CSII. Of these 59 patients are
currently using the system, 12.1% associated to the continuous glucose monitoring
system. The current mean age was 16.8 ± 7.6 years (1.7–38.0 years), at the time of
CSII installation: 13.4 ± 6.7 years (0.9–32.0 years) and duration of CSII treatment:
2.4 years (IQR: 1.0–5.8 years). The majority of the cases (83.1%) acquired the system
by lawsuit. The main indications of the therapy with CSII were glycemic variability
(54.2%) and the presence of hypoglycemia (32.2%), being severe in 15.2% or 47.4% (9/19).
Other indications were: quality of life (11.9%) and lipoatrophy (1.7%). The HbA1c
12 months prior to CSII was 8.1 ± 1.5%, -6 months: 8.1 ± 0.9%, − 3 m: 7.9 ± 0.9%,
CSII installation: 8.1 ± 1.1%; 3 months: 7.8 ± 0.8%; 6 months: 8.0 ± 0.7%; 12 months:
7.9 ± 1.0%, 24 months: 7.7 ± 0.7%, 36 months: 7.9 ± 0.7%; 48 months: 8.3 ± 0.8% and
60 months: 8.0 ± 0.9% and last evaluation: 7.8 ± 1.0%. There was no significant improvement
in HbA1c during the follow-up period (p = 0.391), or between the CSII installation
and the last evaluation (p = 0.0958). Five patients (8.5%) presented severe hypoglycemia
(1 episode) during CSII treatment because they did not follow the educational procedures,
except for one patient who consciously induced severe hypoglycemia.
Conclusion: In our sample, the main indication of CSII were glycemic variability and
hypoglycemia. CSII significantly reduced episodes of severe hypoglycemia, showing
no significant improvement in HbA1c, probably due to lower previous HbA1c values.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been described among Type 1 Diabetes (DM!)
patients, but the various criteria used for the definition contribute to the heterogeneity
of the different prevalence data available.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of MS in DM1 patients according to the WHO,
IDF and NCEP-ATPIII diagnostic criteria and to compare with the estimated glucose
disposal rate (eGDR).
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was performed in a sample of DM1 patients
with > 13 years old treated at an outpatient clinic of endocrinology at the Hospital
Regional da Asa Norte (HRAN) SUS-DF, between May and July-2015. DM1 defined based
on age at diagnosis and clinical history (onset of insulin therapy, presence of diabetic
ketoacidosis or autoantibodies). Anthropometric measures were evaluated (weight, waist/hip
ratio [WHR], BMI), laboratory data (fasting glycemia, lipid profile and microalbuminuria),
presence of hypertension (HTN) were collected in electronic charts (TrakCare®). Sample
was divided into three tertiles according to insulin resistance (IR) degree, based
on the eGDR which was calculated by Williams e cols formula (Fig. 1): Insulin-resistant,
Intermediate insulinresistant, Insulin-sensitive. Kappa coefficient was used to calculate
concordance which was evaluated by Landis & Kock criteria. Statistical analysis by
software R. (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria).
Results: Final sample included 95 DM1 patients, 51.6% male, mean age 28.6 ± 8.8 years,
weight 68.4 ± 11.7 kg, BMI 24.69 ± 3.24 kg/m2, WHR 0.8 ± 0.07 and eGDR 8.93 ± 2.0 mg/kg.min.
Diagnosis of MS based on NCEP-ATPIII was present in 9.47%, IDF and WHO criteria were
16.84 and 54.74%, respectively. RI was verified in 13.7% and Intermediate RI in 40%.
There was discrete agreement between eGDR and WHO criterion (kappa 0.192, 95% CI 0.072–0.313).
After exclusion of Intermediate IR, concordance was moderate between WHO and eGDR
(kappa 0.422, 95% CI 0.215–0.629) and regular agreement between IDF and eGDR (kappa
0.344, 95% CI 0.029–0.618).
Conclusion: MS was present in over half of DM1 of the study sample. The highest frequency
was showed by using WHO criterion, although eGDR agreement was found to be moderate.
The sample was limited by the short time of inclusion (only 3 months), however, it
could show IR presence and addresses the need to include the evaluation of MS among
DM1 patients towards further preventive cardiovascular measures. Figure 1: Williams

Introduction: The presence of insulin resistance (IR) is increasing among Type 1 Diabetes
(DM1) patients especially those with a family history of Type 2 Diabetes (DM2). Both
DCCT and EDIC studies have shown that IR is an independent factor for the development
of microvascular disease.
Objective: To investigate the association of IR with glycemic control, microvascular
complications (retinopathy and diabetic kidney disease, DKD) and family history of
DM2, hypertension (HTN), obesity and dyslipidemia
Methods: Patients > 13 years old were treated in an outpatient clinic of the SUS-DF
hospital between May–July 2015 in an observational and cross-sectional study. Clinical
data and laboratory data (fasting glycemia, lipid profile, microalbuminuria and glycated
hemoglobin—HbA1c) and personal history and family history of comorbidities (HTN, HTN
family history, DM2, obesity and dyslipidemia) were collected in an electronic medical
record. Diagnosis of DM1 was based on age at diagnosis, early use of insulin, presence
of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and/or autoantibodies. The estimated glucose disposal
rate (eGDR) was calculated by Williams e cols formula (Fig. 1) and sample was divided
into three tertiles according to IR degree: insulin-resistant, insulin intermediate-resistant
and insulin-sensitive. Glycemic control was assessed by mean of last two HbA1c and
defined as good—HbA1c < 7.5%, intermediate HbA1c 7.5–9% and poor HbA1c > 9%. Statistical
analysis was performed with R software (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria).
Results: Ninety five DM1 patients were included 51.6% male, mean age 28.6 ± 8.9 years,
weight 68.4 ± 11.7 kg and BMI 24.7 ± 3.24 kg/m2 while mean abdominal circumference
(AC) was 80.17 ± 9.52 cm and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) 0.8 ± 0.07. The mean eGDR was
8.93 ± 2.0 mg/kg.min and HbA1c 8.46 ± 1.7%. RI estimated by eGDR was present in 13.7%
and intermediate RI in 40%. Patients on 1st tertile of IR were most male (69.2%),
76.9% had HTN and mean age 30.4 ± 8.3 years; weight 68.9 ± 8.44 kg, BMI 24.8 ± 3.77 kg/m,
AC 85.85 ± 10.25 cm and WHR 0.84 ± 0.07. Glucose control was ranked as intermediate:
HbA1c 8.97 ± 1.56% and mean eGDR 7.96 ± 1.65 mg/kg.min. The association with microvascular
complications and FH of comorbidities showed no statistical difference between IR
and glycemic control (HbA1c as well.
Conclusion: In this study no correlation between IR and glycemic control, FH of comorbidities
and presence of microvascular complications was found. The lack of evaluation of peripheral
neuropathy is one of the flaws of the study whose short time of evaluation was another
limitation. Thus, more studies are necessary to further evaluation of microvascular
complications with the presence of IR among DM1 in the SUS scenario. Figure 1: Williams

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease and one of the most frequent
complications are feet ulcerations (DFU) which are commonly associated with infection
and favor devastating results as amputations and prolonged and costly treatment. DFU
plus infection are not routiney based on microbiota database in most developing countries
favoring treatment.
Objective: To determine the microbiological profile and antimicrobial resistance in
patients with infection-related to DFU treated at a reference center at the SUS-DF.
Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study based on physical and electronic
records (TrakCare®) of DM patients treated at the Neuropathy and Diabetic Foot Clinic
(NDFC) of the Endocrinology Unit (ENDOUnit) of Hospital Regional de Taguatinga (HRT)
and Research Center-FEPECS, between June 2014 and June 2016. DFU patients with tissue
fragment culture and antibiogram were included in the study sample. Microbiota resistance
profile analyzed through WHO freeware softwares BACLINK 2.0 and WHONET 5.6.
Results: Sample involved 107 DM patients, 63.3% male, mean age 60.6 ± 12 years, 92.5%
had DM2 and diagnosis duration 15.9 ± 8.3 years. Monomicrobial infection found in
64.5% and Pseudomonas aeruginosa the most common isolated microorganism followed by
Proteus mirabilis and Acinetobacter baumann/haem (Graphic 1). Analysis of sensitivity
profile and resistance in 51 cultures of tissue fragment showed: 70% Gram-positive
resistance to oxacillin, ceftriaxone, clindamycin and erythromycin; 100% Gram-negative
resistance to cefazolin, cefotetan and tetracycline. Association of ciprofloxacin
and clindamycin resulted in 60% resistance (Graphics 2, 3; Fig. 1). Active monomicrobial
infection was found in two-third of sample which differs from literature reports,
usually polimicrobial, and tissue fragment culture may explain a better selection
of cultures. Gramnegative strains were more frequent. However, the routine antimicrobial
treatment (cipro + clinda) showed hihg resistance. Surprisingly, none DFU infection
ha been evaluated by the current IDSA/PEDIS classification.
Conclusions: An evaluation of the sensitivity and resistance profile of microbiota
in diabetic foot centers constitutes a rational strategy to guide appropriate antimicrobial
treatment. Sadly, this approach has not been widely implemented in most DFU clinics.
That would prevent inappropriate treatment schemes that favor prolonged hospitalizations
and higher costs to public services in developing countries such as Brazil. Keywords:

Background: Diabetic foot is the major cause of hospitalization and financial cost
in the diabetic population and is considered a serious public health problem. Between
40 and 80% of foot ulcers in diabetic patients may be complicated by infection that
is considered a clinical marker of systemic impairment and mortality. The microbiological
profile of diabetic foot infections often shows complex polymicrobial infection.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the microbiological profile of infected
diabetic foot ulcers.
Method: This is a descriptive, retrospective study of 189 patients admitted to the
Vascular Surgery Unit of Hospital Risoleta Tolentino Neves from January 2007 to December
2012. The patients included were those who were admitted at the Hospital with diabetic
foot ulcer. Demographics and clinical data were extracted from the Electronic Medical
Records. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used for
descriptive statistical analysis. Ethical approval was granted for this study from
the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Ethics Committee.
Results: The mean age of patients was 61.9 ± 12.7 years, mostly males (64.6%), with
mean serum creatinina level of 1.95 ± 1.8 mg/dL and average level of serum hemoglobin
of 8.93 ± 2.6 g/dL. Of these patients, 86.8% had positive culture, and 72.0% were
monomicrobial cultures and 21.2% had reinfection. The most common genres of bacteria
were Acinetobacter spp. (24.4%), Morganella spp. (24.4%), Proteus spp. (23.1%) and
Enterococcus spp. (19.2%) and species were Acinetobacter baumannii, Morganella morganii,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis (Table 1). The readmission rate was 42.9%
and the mortality rate was 15.9%.
Conclusion: It was identified, therefore, that in the cultures of deep tissue carried
ulcers in the feet of diabetic patients, Gram-negative bacteria were the most prevalent.
Ethics Approval The study was approved by Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Institutution‘s

Introduction: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a progressive kidney disease caused
by alterations in kidney architecture and function, and constitutes one of the leading
causes of end-stage renal disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are naturally expressed small
noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3′ untranslated regions
(3′ UTR) of specific mRNAs, inducing their degradation or translational repression.
Additionally, miRNAs have recently emerged as important regulators of DKD; however,
the identification of the specific miRNAs involved remains incomplete.
Objective: To investigate a miRNA expression profile in plasma of type 1 diabetes
(T1DM) patients with and without DKD.
Methods: Expression of 48 miRNAs was investigated in plasma of 55 T1DM patients, being
24 in group 1 [T1DM patients for more than 10 years with urinary excretion of albumin
(UEA) < 30 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2],
15 in group 2 (UEA 30–300 mg/g or eGFR 45–59 ml/min/1.73 m2), and 16 in group 3 (UEA > 300 mg/g
or eGFR 15–29 ml/min/1.73 m2). The expression analysis was performed using Stem-loop
RT-PreAmp Real-time PCR and TaqMan Low Density Array cards (Thermo Scientific Inc).
Results: Nine miRNAs were differentially expressed in T1DM patients with different
stages of DKD compared to patients without DKD. Six miRNAs were downregulated (miR-141,
miR-16, miR-192, miR-204, miR-215 e miR-29a) and three miRNAs were upregulated (miR-21-3p,
miR-378 e miR-503) in patients with DKD compared to patients without this complication.
Moreover, miR-141 and miR-192 were even more downregulated in patients with severe
DKD compared to the other two groups.
Conclusions: Our preliminary study demonstrates that nine circulating miRNAs were
differently expressed in T1DM patients with DKD, providing information about the biological
pathways in which they are involved.

Summary: Recently, a new mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation of genes, performed
by small RNAs of 21–25 nucleotides called microRNAs (miRNAs), has favored the understanding
of various biological processes and diseases.
Objective/hypothesis: To evaluate the influence of miR-101 (related to the regulation
of the innate immune and inflammatory responses) and of miR-204 (that inhibits insulin
transcription) in the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Material and method: The expression of serum miR-101 and miR-204 was determined in
three groups: recent-onset of T1D patients (T1D group; n = 50), individuals with normal
glucose control expressing pancreatic autoantibodies (Ab+ group; n = 38) and healthy
controls (Control group; n = 43). Extraction of total RNA including miRNAs was performed
with the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit (Qiagen, USA). The spike-in control was added for
standardization of the sample purification. The qRT-PCR expression of the hsa-miR-101
and hsa-miR-204 microRNAs was obtained by TaqMan assays- Applied Biosystem.
Results: T1D patients had higher HbA1c levels when compared with Control and Ab+ groups
(p < 0.0001). Glucose levels were similar between T1D and Ab+ groups and higher than
in Control group (p < 0.0001). Higher median miR-101 expression (p = 0.0014) were
observed in T1D patients (threeFold Change-FC) in comparison with individuals with
pancreatic autoantibodies (0.84 FC) and healthy controls (0.87 FC), which were similar
to each other. In a sub-analysis of Ab+ group, considering only individuals who tested
positive for two or more autoantibodies, the expression of miR-101 (3.74 FC) did not
differ from those of T1D and were higher in both groups in comparison with Control
(p = 0.0022).Regarding miR-204, there was no significant difference between the groups
studied.
Conclusion/interpretation: Our data suggest the involvement of miR-101 in the T1D
pathogenesis.

Cases report: Case (1) A 35-years-old woman developed postprandial hypoglycemic episodes
6 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). A mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT,
500 kcal, 20% protein, 20% fat and 60% carbohydrates) was performed, leading to symptomatic
postprandial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (PHH) with a nadir of 45 mg/dL at 120 min
(insulin of 8 mU/L; C-peptide of 3.21 ng/mL). Pancreas tomography (PT) and magnetic
resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed no abnormalities. Despite frequent
meals low in carbohydrates and acarbose, hypoglycemia was avoided with diazoxid. Cases
2 and 3). Two 34-years-old women presented hypoglycemia following meals 3 and 5 years
after RYGB. MMTT (120 min): glycemia of 34 mg/dL, insulin of 17 mU/L and C-peptide
of 6.23 ng/mL and, in the second one, glycemia of 52 mg/dL, insulin of 9 mU/L and
C-peptide of 2.7 ng/mL. PT and MRCP were normal in both cases. Improvement occurred
with acarbose. Case 4). A 44-years-old man who underwent RYGB 1.5 years ago reported
hypoglycemic episodes in the last 6 months. MMTT: glycemia of 26 mg/dL at 150 min,
insulin of 34 mU/L and C-peptide of 6.03 ng/mL. PT revealed tumor of 2.5 cm in pancreatic
tail. He was submitted to distal pancreatectomy and symptoms disappeared after diazoxid
and hydrochlorothiazide. Case 5). A 59-years-old woman developed hypoglycemia 10 years
after RYGB. Echo-endoscopy revealed pancreatic cysts. MMTT: glycemia of 43 mg/dL at
120 min, insulin of 100 mU/L and C-peptide of 1.95 ng/mL. Acarbose controlled her
symptoms. Antiinsulin antibodies were negative in all cases (Table 1).
Discussion: RYGB can induce remission of diabetes in 80% of morbidly obese type 2
diabetic patients. This effect is attributed to the weight loss but also to an improvement
of insulin release by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets under the influence
of increased levels of gut hormones, especially glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Chronic
stimulation by GLP-1 of beta cells after RYGB can lead to hyperplasia of the islets,
resulting in PHH. Of all patients undergoing RYGB, 1–6% develops some degree of PHH
and 5% have neuroglycopenic symptoms. MMTT is the appropriate test for diagnosis.
Acarbose, diazoxid, octreotide, hydrochlorotiazide and pancreatectomy are useful tools
for successful management.
Conclusion: HHP is recently recognized as a complication of RYGB although knowledge
and experience with this condition are not well diffused. MMTT should be considered
when there is a clinical suspicion. Informed consent to publish had been obtained

Chronic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance being characterized
by increased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6,
in addition to reduced levels of IL-10 (anti-inflammatory cytokine)1–2. This chronic
inflammatory state may impair the mechanism of normal glucose tolerance triggering
impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type-2 diabetes (T2D) 3–4. Although several drugs
are available for the treatment of these conditions, the disadvantages of conventional
therapy5 lead to the search for alternative therapies, particularly natural products
6. In this context, the alga Chlorella (CV) is an alternative and natural agent that
acts as a biological response modifier by directly modulating the production of cytokines7–8.
Thus, our objective was to evaluate the effects of CV in the production of pro- and
anti-inflammatory cytokines in IGT and T2D patients. Volunteers with T2D (n = 25)
and IGT (n = 20) from Diabetes Group of the Centro de Saúde da Comunidade (CECOM),
University of Campinas, Brazil, received oral doses of 3 g CV daily for 12 months.
Serum levels of IL-10, TNF-α and IL-6 were quantified by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) before use of CV (T0), after 6 (T6) and 12 (T12) months using CV. Data
were analyzed for statistically significant differences using Wilcoxon t test. The
results showed that the alga significantly (P < 0.05) decreased serum levels of IL-6
and TNF-α at T6 and T12, in both groups IGT and T2D. There was a significant increase
(P < 0.05) of IL-10 at T6 in IGT and T2D groups. Our findings demonstrate that CV
was able to restore the balance in the disturbed cytokine network in IGT and T2D,
in which the unbalance of pro- and anti- inflammatory cytokines dictates the emergence
and evolution of the pathological process. It seems that the supplementation with
CV is promising in IGT and T2D, since it reduces the patient‘s inflammatory profile.

Introduction: The reduction in the expression of the glucose transporter GLUT4 (encoded
by the gene Slc2a4), responsible for glucose uptake stimulated by insulin, significantly
compromises glycemic homeostasis. It is known that estradiol (E2) via its receptors,
ER-alpha and ER-beta, regulates the gene expression through direct binding to DNA,
or through interactions with transcription factors, among them SP1 (Sp1 transcription
factor). Our group has already demonstrated that E2 regulates the expression of the
Slc2a4 gene; and studies indicate the presence of four binding sites for SP1 in this
gene, described as Slc2a4 upregulator. Thus, the role of SP1 in the expression of
estradiol-mediated Slc2a4/GLUT4 in 3T3-L1 cell line adipocytes was evaluated in an
attempt to understand the role of each estradiol receptors in this regulation. For
this, the adipocytes were treated with 10 nM estradiol plus 0.05% DMSO (used to solubilize
the ER agonists) for 24 h. Cells were also cultured with selective agonists of the
different ER isoforms. To evaluate the ER-alpha, the PPT was used, in the concentration
of 10 nM, with or without 10 nM of E2 (10E2 + PPT); to evaluate the ER-beta, the DPN
was used in the concentration of 100 nM, with or without 10 nM of E2 (10E2 + DPN);
always for 24 h. In the control group (0E2), cells were treated with only 0.05% DMSO
(vehicle of agonists). The analyzes were: quantification of total GLUT4 protein, nuclear
SP1 and nuclear ER-alpha/beta (Western blotting); expression of the Slc2a4 and Sp1
(RTqPCR) genes; and binding activity of the ERs to the SP1 binding site on the Slc2a4
promoter (electrophoretic mobilization, EMSA). Treatment with E2 increased the expression
of Slc2a4/GLUT4. Cells that were treated with PPT (in the presence or absence of E2)
showed an increase in Slc2a4/GLUT4 expression whereas treatment with DPN (in the presence
or absence of E2) decreased, revealing the stimulatory action of ER-alpha and inhibitory
action of ER-beta on the expression of GLUT4. However, it was observed that both ERalpha
and ER-beta activation increased the nuclear content of the transcription factor SP1,
however, only the ER-alpha effect, especially isolated, seems to involve SP1 in the
observed regulation.

Case report: JRP, 9 years, overweight, presenting asymptomatic fasted dysglicemias
since her 3 years old. Investigation with oral glucose tolerance test, autoantibodies
and laboratories tests normals. Paternal family history for type 1 and 2 diabetes.
It evolved throughout childhood with fasting glycemic changes, despite absence of
symptoms and no progression. Continuous glycemic monitoring was performed during clinical
followup, evidencing absence of postprandial hyperglycaemia, and low glycemic variability,
despite recurrent morning dysglicemias. Investigated body composition profile suggesting
42% of total body fat, with adequate bone mineral density, although there are no reference
values for age group. Molecular genetic diagnosis result positive by mutation of the
glucokinase gene (GCK). Patient progresses with daily diet and physical activity,
without pharmacological therapy.
Discussion: Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) by mutation of the GCK gene,
the most common form of monogenic diabetes, comes from autosomal dominant inheritance,
resulting from heterozygous mutations in various transcription factors for the development
of β-pancreatic cells, which inactivating the gene, determine subclinical hyperglycemia,
decreasing the phosphorylation of glucose and the sensitivity of the β-cells. Its
clinical manifestation predates 25 years, in the absence of autoimmune disease and
insulin resistance. Increases in fasting glycemia and hepatic glucose production are
observed, requiring higher serum glycemic concentrations to stimulate insulin secretion.
Patients are asymptomatic, with incidental laboratory findings, and absence of microvascular
complications. There is no evidence of need for clinical treatment, since exogenous
insulin administration results in a compensatory decrease in endogenous insulin secretion,
and blood glucose levels remain unchanged.
Conclusions: Through continuous glycemic monitoring it was corroborated that the GCK-MODY
does not confer clinical repercussion to the patient, presenting low glycemic variability,
despite fasting dysglycemia, without prejudice to the development of children or microvascular
complications. However, continuous follow-up of these patients is necessary due to
the possibility of overlapping type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk in
the future.

Introduction: During pregnancy, hyperglycaemia can lead to maternal and fetal complications,
causing reproductive alterations and fetal impairment. Alternatives are considered
to treat diabetes and prevent its complications, and one of these alternatives is
the use of medicinal plants, such as Morinda citrifolia, popularly known as Noni.
However, there is no scientific evidence of security use during gestation of this
this plant and in the fetuses.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of the aqueous extract of Morinda citrifolia on
maternal reproductive performance and fetuses of rats with mild intensity hyperglycemia.
Method: Diabetes was induced in newborn female Wistar rats, at 24 h after birth, by
subcutaneous injection of Streptozotocin at a single dose of 100 mg/kg. At 110 days
of age (adulthood), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to confirm the
mild diabetes model. After confirmation of the diabetes, the rats were mated and distributed
into 4 experimental groups (n = 12 animals/group): Control: Non-diabetic rats treated
with water; Control Treated: Non-diabetic rats treated with the plant; Diabetic: Diabetic
rats treated with water; Diabetic Treated: Diabetic rats treated with the plant. The
administration of the Morinda citrifolia fruits aqueous extract, at dose of 750 mg/kg,
was done daily, by gavage, throughout pregnancy. On the morning of the 21st day of
pregnancy, the rats were anesthetized and the uterus was removed. Pre- and post-implantation
loss rates were calculated. Fetuses and placentas were weighed and fetuses were analyzed
for the presence of external, skeletal and visceral anomalies.
Results: There was no change in fetal and placental weights, and also in the frequency
of fetal anomalies (external and skeletal) among the groups. However, both treated
groups exhibited higher rates of pre-implantation losses. In addition, the Control
Treated group showed a high frequency of visceral anomalies in relation to the Control
group.
Conclusion: Treatment with Morinda citrifolia is harmful during gestation, due to
an anti-implantation effect and increase of visceral anomalies. Therefore, these findings
showed that the use of plants without further studies proving their efficacy and safety
can be dangerous.

Acute changes in glucose concentration in the blood have important effects on motor
and sensory function of the upper gastrointestinal tract (TGI), and at the same time,
the TGI plays an important role in the regulation of postprandial blood. The aim is
to characterize the profile of gastric motility in rats with severe diabetes model
and evaluate the influence of glycemic variations in TGI. Biosusceptometry of Alternating
Current (BAC) is a fairly simple technique, low cost and versatile in research related
to the human TGI. BAC is composed of magnetic sensors based in inductions coil. An
electrode was inserted for measurement of electrogastrography (EGG), and a ferrite
bead to measure the BAC in the rats. Histological sections of the stomach were stained
with hematoxylin and eosin, analyzed at a 10× magnification. Morphometry was performed
to analyze the thickness of the muscular layers of the stomach. Severe diabetes was
induced by a beta-cytotoxic agent (streptozotocin—40 mg/kg, ip) at adult rats. They
were evaluated contractility and gastric emptying of serious diabetic and control
animals. P < 0.05 as statistical significance limit. There was a significant decrease
in contraction frequency and increase in gastric emptying time of the diabetic animals
compared with control. There was a thickening of the circular muscle layer of the
stomach of diabetic animals. There is an influence of glycemic status on the GI tract
and may have alterations of frequency and gastric emptying. It is concluded that diabetes
caused disorders in the gastric electrophysiology in the form of dysrhythmia, as well
as delay in emptying and morphological changes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension, represent in the
Brazil, the first time of mortality and hospitalizations, at the Brazilian National
Health System. If on the one hand, as mortality trends from acute complications in
diabetes decreasing in recent decades. On the other hand, there was a nonstandard
increase in diabetes mortality in Brazilian capitals between 1980 and 2007, mainly
in the capitals of the North and Northeast. Given this, it is relevant to know a mortality
due to diabetes in the city of São Paulo in the period from 2010 to 2014, in such
a way that there is a subsidy of public policies.
Methods: Ecological and temporal trend study carried out in the city of Ribeirão Preto,
located in the northeastern region of the State of São Paulo. The study population
was composed of DM mortality data from 2010 to 2014 provided by the Division of Epidemiological
Surveillance of the Municipal Health Department of Ribeirão Preto referring to the
deaths of people living in the municipality and regardless of their place of death
and individuals according to age, sex and address. The statistical descriptive analysis
of the data was performed using the statistical program Statistical Program for Social
Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The project was approved in the Committee of Ethics in
Research of the School of Nursing of Ribeirão Preto of the University of São Paulo
opinion number 1580375/2016.
Results: n the period from 2010 to 2014 in the city of Ribeirão Preto, there were
a total of 583 deaths due to diabetes mellitus, with a mean of 117 deaths per year,
varying from 97 in 2011 to 145 in 2014. Most deaths, 55.06% (321), was female and
44.94% (262) male. However, the mortality rate up to the age of 69 years shows a larger
number in males, 22.13% (129 deaths), compared with females, 17.15% (100 deaths),
indicating that men die from diabetes mellitus more prematurely than women.
Conclusions: Despite the reduction in the total number of non-communicable chronic
diseases mortality, diabetes mortality remained unchanged in the period studied. These
data can organize information about morbidity and mortality and its risk factors in
the city of Ribeirão Preto

Mucormycosis is the 3rd most common invasive fungal infection in the world, with incidence
estimated in 500 cases/year in the United States. Data in Brazil is scarce, limited
to case reports; that are predominant in the North and Northeast regions Although
rare, it is potentially fatal, with morbidity and mortality above 60%. Glucocorticoids,
haematological malignancies, AIDS, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus are the major
known predisposing conditions for mucormycosis. This report describes a 55 years old
male with diabetes, complaining of odynophagia due to infiltrative and ulcerated lesion
in the oral cavity. We also review the literature for studies on diagnosis, treatment,
clinical course, and prognosis of mucormycosis.
Case presentation: Male, 55 years old, admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis. On the
5th day of hospitalization, he complained of odynophagia, without other symptoms.
On examination of the oral cavity, was found an ulcerated, infiltrative, whitish,
and non-removable lesion in the soft palate (Fig. 1). No abnormalities were found
in laboratory tests. X-ray of the face and skull tomography with contrast showed alterations
suggestive of sinusopathy, without evidences of lesion extension from the oral cavity
to other tissues (Figures 2 and 3). Biopsy of the lesion demonstrated hyphae fungal
structures, which were suggestive of murcomicose. The patient had a favorable response
after treated with amphotericin B for 10 days.
Discussion: Mucormycosis is a serious infectious disease caused by a Mucorales order
fungus that affects particularly patients with immune deficiency, as uncontrolled
diabetes mellitus. Contagion usually occurs through inhalation of spores, which have
tropism for the vascular tissue and evolves to tissue ischemia and distress. It may
be considered a disastrous interaction between angiopathy, acidosis and hyperglycemia,
with a more common presentation, the rhinocerebral. Initial symptoms may include fever,
headache, facial or ocular pain, epistaxis, and nasal congestion. Tissue invasion
can lead to exophthalmos, cranial nerve palsy, or cerebrovascular disease caused by
an occlusion of the carotid artery. The diagnosis is based on histopathological findings
of the fungus invading vascular tissue. Treatment consists of antifungal therapy and
surgical removal in selected cases (Fig. 1).

Final comments: We reported a rare case of oral mucormycosis in a patient with uncontrolled
diabetes, which had early diagnosis and treatement, leading to a satisfactory outcome.
Diabetes increases the risk of infectious complications possibly due to hyperglycemia-related
changes in leukocyte chemotaxis, complement dysfunction, and microvascular angiopathy.
Mucormycosis is a highly lethal infection in which adequate early diagnosis and treatment
are critical for reducing morbidity and mortality.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, accounting for 5–10% of all diabetes cases in
the world. Global guidelines recommend the management of this pathology by a multidisciplinary
specialized team. As a result, the Adinf Doce Vida Project was implemented in Nova
Friburgo (RJ-Brazil) on August 1st, 2015. It consists on a project based at the “Association
of Diabetics of Nova Friburgo (ADINF)”, and carried out by a multidisciplinary team
of volunteers: four endocrinologists, one pediatric endocrinologist, two nutritionists,
five psychologists, a dentist, a pediatric dentist, a socialassistant, two pharmaceuticals,
a physiotherapist and two podologists.
Objective: To evaluate the outcome of the multidisciplinary intervention in the control
of type 1 diabetics.
Method: 143 patients were attended by a team between August 1st, 2015 and July, 1st
2017. After excluding patients diagnosed with other types of diabetes and patients
who did not attend the service for more than one year, it remained 91 patients all
with basalbolus therapy with multiple doses of insulin.
Results: The mean age at admission was 17.83 years old (1–49). 64% of the patients
were under 18 years old, of age and 52% of them where female. 11 patients had diabetic
nephropathy, 6 patients had neuropathy and 6 other had retinopathy, diagnosed before
the arrival at the project. No new microvascular complications were detected during
the assessed period. The mean number of capillary glycemia tests performed before
the project was 3.1 and after the project was 5. Carbohydrate counting was introduced
for 31 patients. 28 patients had glycosylated hemoglobin tested before the project
and 6 months to 1 year after been attended by the project`s team. The results were
compared and showed averages of 9.73% versus 9.01% (p = 0.7).
Conclusion: Project`s multidisciplinary care introduced basal bolus therapy in all
patients promoting better patient adherence. There was a mean reduction in glycosylated
hemoglobin of 0.72%, without statistical significance but this result may have been
influenced by a significant reduction of the sample analyzed due to the difficulties
of carrying out laboratory tests by the official Health System.

Theme: Nutrition, behavioral medicine, education and exercise.
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (DM 2) is a complex disease that requires a combination
of behavioral approaches of lifestyle changes in terms of physical exercise and appropriate
nutrition, in addition to drug treatment. The achievement of therapeutic control goals
is universally hampered by failure to adhere to such treatment. The multidisciplinary
approach is a mitigating strategy for this problem and can generate better glycemic
control.
Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of 96 patients, aged 62 ± 12 years,
attended at a multidisciplinary public health service composed of endocrinologist,
pharmacist, specialized nurse, nutritionist, psychologist and social worker. Twenty-seven
cases were excluded from the analysis due to incorrect referral (7), type 1 diabetes
(1), death (1), early loss of follow-up (10), immediate hospitalization (1) and incomplete
follow-up (8). The 68 patients (39 women and 29 men) analyzed were attended by the
team in bi-monthly or quarterly appointments during a mean period of 10 months, and
then were reassessed regarding the parameters of metabolic control.
Results: Patients were diagnosed with DM 2 for 10 ± 8.7 years, with chronic complications
of DM: retinopathy (16.12%), nephropathy (25%), sensorymotor peripheral neuropathy
(20.56%), peripheral arterial occlusive disease (16.18%), diabetic foot with wounds
(8.82%), macrovascular disease with previous events (17.65%), previous amputations
(4.41%) and erectile dysfunction in 58.62% of men. After the intervention with a structured
program of multidisciplinary attention the metabolic parameters improved significantly
(p < 0.05 for all): fasting glycemia from 192 ± 97 to 154 ± 55 mg/dL; A1c from 9.4 ± 2.2
to 7.7 ± 1.4%; patients with A1c < 7% from 7.35 to 33.82%; LDL cholesterol from 115 ± 40
to 83 ± 27 mg/dL; patients with LDL < 100 mg/dL from 20.59 to 61.77%; triglycerides
from 217 ± 164 to 158 ± 101 mg/dL; patients with TG < 150 mg/dL from 35 to 60%.
Conclusion: Barriers to achieving appropriate metabolic control in type 2 diabetes
in public health services can be partially overcome by a structured treatment scheme
implemented by multidisciplinary teams. In the present study, the multidisciplinary
therapeutic approach resulted in an overall improvement of metabolic parameters with
more patients achieving therapeutic control goals.

Introduction: Education in Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a tool that promotes skills,
self-care and integration of ways to reach goals in the treatment of the disease.
The traditional outpatient models can be increased with the participation of multiprofessional
team in educational strategies, in addition to the integral follow up of the patient.
Objective: To describe the experience of a multiprofessional station of diabetes education
in a specialized outpatient clinic in Fortaleza-CE.
Method: A report on the experience of diabetes education through the use of conversation
maps in a specialized outpatient clinic in Fortaleza-CE.
Results: The education activity is part of the routine on the Outpatient Clinic in
Diabetes, Dyslipidemia and Metabolic Syndrome, from a perspective of anttendance stations.
The stations correspond to the services of endocrinology, nursing, nutrition, physiotherapy,
ophthalmology and education in DM. The education station in DM is characterized by
an educational group with application of conversation maps and presents routing criteria,
such as patients with metabolic uncontrol, low adherence to treatment and/or complications
of the disease. The group consists of 4–10 participants, among patients and companions,
lasting 40–60 min and has nurses, physiotherapists and nutritionists as facilitators.
During this season, emerges an exchange of experiences among the participants, regarding
the experiences with DM, pathophysiology of the disease, strategies for self-care
improvements and questions about insulin use, feeding mistakes, foot care, use of
appropriate footwear and physical exercise. Besides that, doubts about the complications
of DM and its prevention are frequent.
Conclusion: The participants acquire knowledge through the interaction between the
group and clarify doubts with the facilitators. The execution of this station reflects
in self-care promotion and empowerment about diabetes, enabling improvement of treatment
and self-management of the disease. It is suggested to perform tests before and after
tests to analyze the efficiency of this strategy.

Background: Sarcopenia has been considered as a predictor of disability and adverse
outcomes in old age. The muscle compartment represents an important site of action
for insulin. Therefore, changes in this tissue, typical of age, have an impact on
glycemic metabolism.
Aim: To evaluate whether muscle compartment parameters are associated with beta cell
function in healthy young women from the Nutritionists‘Health Study (NutriHS).
Methods: The NutriHS is a cohort study of undergraduates and graduates from Nutrition
courses in Brazil. This is a cross-sectional analysis of 110 women aged 20–40 years,
who answered online questionnaires about their early life events, and had anthropometry
data, muscle strength and performance, body composition (iDXA Lunar GE®) and blood
sample collected. Associations between exposure variables: calf circumference (CC),
muscle strength (MS), muscle performance (MP) and muscle mass—appendicular skeletal
muscle mass index (ASMI) and outcomes: fasting glucose (FG), HOMA-β and HOMA-IR, were
tested by multiple linear regression.
Results: Means values: age 24.3 ± 5.2years, BMI 23.4 ± 4.3 kg/m2, WC 78.2 ± 10.1 cm,
CC 36.0 ± 3.1 cm, FM 25.4 ± 7.4 kg, ASMI 6.5 ± 1.3 kg/m2, FG 82.8 ± 8.3 mg/dL, HOMA-β
44.4 ± 20.8 and HOMA-IR 1.9 ± 1.0. Mean blood pressure and lipid levels were normal.
Comparing means values among MS tertiles and ASMI tertiles, differences in BMI, WC,
FG and HOMA-β and in BMI, WC, CC and MS were observed, respectively. In linear regression
models, after adjustments for confounders, inverse association of MS tertiles with
FG (r2 = 0.07; p = 0.040) and direct with HOMA-β (r2 = 0.11; p = 0,033) were detected.
Conclusions: Prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings that suggest that
muscle function parameters may be useful in predicting early the risk of beta cell
dysfunction in healthy young.

Introduction: In the last years, some cases of diabetes were identified, which progress
did not allow to classify them into the most prevalent types among the population
(type 1 and 2), with 715% of these being incorrectly categorized. The advent of molecular
biology testing allowed to identify gene mutations implied in the generation of certain
types of diabetes and in their treatment, i.e. the monogenic types. Worldwide prevalence
is estimated as 12%.
Case report: Two cases that fall into this new classification, since they do not behave
typically as the most usual ones, will be reported. A 34-year old, male, eutrophic,
asymptomatic patient diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 15, through fasting plasma
glucose of 144 mg/dL, with familial history positive to diabetes in three consecutive
generations. Insulin therapy was started short time following diagnosis due to low
insulin reserve; however, it was stopped, and a good glycemic control was maintained
with oral drug (metformin and sulfonylurea). Genetic testing was conducted, thus identifying
mutation in gene HNF1A. Another 37-year old, female, eutrophic, asymptomatic patient
with familial history of diabetes in four consecutive generations, started investigation
for diabetes at the age of 32, showing fasting plasma glucose of 113 mg/dL and glycated
hemoglobin of 6%. Also, she had normal oral glucose tolerance test and negative anti-GAD
antibody. Initially, a change in lifestyle was implemented, then low-dose metformin
was started due to increased glycated hemoglobin in a single dose; however, the previous
plasma glucose levels remained. Genetic testing revealed mutation in glucokinase gene.
Discussion and conclusion: Mutations in HNF1A and glucokinase genes are the most prevalent
ones in monogenic diabetes, 52 and 32% respectively. The first one is characterized
by a more prominent increase in post-prandial than in fasting plasma glucose, in a
young adult patient responding to sulfonylurea treatment. The second one presents
as a slight change in fasting plasma glucose, found out by chance, in an asymptomatic
patient and with very low risk of complications caused by hyperglycemia, which treatment
is based only on changes in lifestyle. It is important to identify mutations to define
treatment, give genetic counseling, and conduct familial screening. Therefore, one
should always have these in mind when diagnosing diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: A prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has been acquiring alarming numbers
globally, especially in developing countries. According to the latest data released
by the International Diabetes Federation, 425 million people have diabetes. Among
the complications caused by poor metabolic control are: alterations nails, deformities
and ulceration in the feet, which may confer a risk for amputation in the lower limbs.
Objectives: To identify nursing diagnoses and interventions (NANDA-I) in patients
with diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy treated at a Diabetes Center.
Method: An exploratory study based on the systematic observation of podiatry nursing
consultation for people with DM and with a presence of signs and/or symptoms of diabetic
polyneuropathy, including a documentary analysis, performed at a Diabetes Center of
a Public University, in the period 2016/17. Initially, the problems in the raised
feet with the objective of anchoring nursing diagnoses analyzed by the defining characteristics
according to the NANDA-I taxonomy of skin integrity and impaired tissue integrity
were described, since there are no specific diagnoses for appendices, in this case,
like nails. The project was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of the University
Hospital under No. 1508-2016 and is inserted in the graduate care line in the collective
dimension.
Results: A total of 77 patients and their medical records were evaluated, 55.6% of
which were classified as Impaired Skin Integrity and 44.4% as Impaired Tissue Integrity,
as defining characteristics that integrate the diagnosis and as podiatric interventions
are not proposed in the NANDA taxonomy, The most frequent problems are as onico: cryptoses-gyroses-mycosis,
pre ulcerative lesions and inappropriate orthoses (Fig. 1)

See text for description
Conclusion: The occurrence of foot problems related to DM, with me nails, pre-ulcerative
lesions, deformities and pressures, are not defined in the NANDA taxonomy, as well
as, there are no established interventions in the podiatry area, being a challenge
to be confronted for the assistance of nursing in the area of dermatology.com emphasis
on foot care.

Background: The neck circumference (NC) is an anthropometric measure to evaluate obesity.
The FINDRISC predicts the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our aims were
to identify the mean value of NC in individuals with higher (≥ 15 points) and lower
FINDRISC and to establish cutoff values that indicate individuals with higher FINDRISC.
Methods: It is a population-based, cross-sectional study representative of the city
of Curitiba, Brazil. We studied individuals (> 18 years), without diabetes mellitus,
between August 2013 and August 2014. We evaluated anthropometric parameters, glycaemia,
socioeconomic situation, chronic conditions, and their risk factors. In a sex-specific
analysis, data are presented as mean and standard deviation. We performed Pearson’s
and Spearman’s correlation between NC and the waist circumference, body mass index
and FINDRISC. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves were estimated for NC and higher
FINDRISC. Logistic regression models were built to analyze the association between
higher FINDRISC and 1-SD increase in NC.
Results: We studied 950 individuals (621 women) with a mean age of 47.4 ± 17.6 years
and body mass index of 26.2 ± 5.6 kg/m2. The mean NC were 34.1 ± 3.1 cm in women and
38.2 ± 3.5 cm in men. Mean NC was lower in women (33.7 ± 2.9 cm vs 35.8 ± 3.2 cm)
and men (37.7 ± 3.4 cm vs 41 ± 3.6 cm) with lower FINDRISC (p < 0.001). All the correlations
with NC were significant (p ≤ 0.001). The area under the curve for NC and the higher
FINDRISC was 0.702 (95% CI 0.653–0.752) for women and 0.762 for men (95% CI 0.679–0.845),
determining the best cutoff value of 34.5 cm for women and 39.5 cm for men to discriminate
individuals with higher FINDRISC. Fully adjusted odds ratios for higher FINDRISC per
1-SD increase in NC in women and men were, respectively 1.89 (95% CI 1.53–2.33) and
2.86 (95% CI 1.91–4.29).
Conclusion: NC is positively correlated to body mass index, waist circumference, glycaemia,
and FINDRISC scores in a population-based sample of adults. We identified the mean
values of NC in higher and lower FINDRISC and established cutoff values for NC and
higher FINDRISC (Fig. 1)

Introduction: Neck circumference has been proposed as an upper body obesity index
and is associated with metabolic syndrome components. It is unknown whether this measure
could be useful to characterize earlier atherogenic risk in large epidemiological
studies.
Objective: This sub-study of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)
evaluated associations of neck circumference—independent of body adiposity—with biomarkers
of endothelial dysfunction and subfractions of lipoproteins, in middle-aged participants
at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk.
Methods: A sample of 804 individuals (35–54 years) without diabetes or cardiovascular
disease was enrolled in this analysis. After having been characterized as normal weight
and weight excess (body mass index—BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and < 30 kg/m2) they were sub-stratified
into quartiles of neck circumference. Traditional risk factors, subfractions of lipoproteins,
E-selectin and coronary artery calcium (CAC) score different from zero were evaluated
across the tertiles by ANOVA or Chi squared test. In linear regression models, associations
of neck circumference levels with subfractions of lipoproteins and E-selectin, adjusted
for insulin resistance index, were tested.
Results: Worsening of traditional risk factors and novel biomarkers, as well as increased
frequencies of abnormal risk factors were observed throughout the quartiles of NC
values. Additionally, in the normal weight group, lower levels of both HDL2 and HDL3,
and higher levels of small dense LDL were observed in the third and fourth comparing
to the first and second quartiles. While, in the BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 group, progressive
reduction for HDL2 and HDL3 and increasing for the small dense LDL were observed across
the quartiles of NC. For those individuals with normal BMI, E-selectin concentration
increased after the second quartile. In the group with excess of weight, this variable
showed a linear increment across the quartiles of NC. The linear regression models
identify a direct and independent association between neck circumference and small-dense
LDL and E-selectin and an inverse independent association with HDL2, in both categories
of BMI.
Conclusion: Neck circumference may be a useful anthropometric measurement to identify
a worse atherogenic profile independent of BMI and insulin resistance in middle-aged
individuals at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk.

Background: Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum (NLD) is a disorder of collagen degeneration
with a granulomatous response, thickening of blood vessel walls and fat deposition
that affects individuals with diabetes. The main complication of the disease is ulceration,
which usually occurs after mechanical trauma, exposure to the sun without protection
and infections. Cases of squamous cell carcinoma developing in chronic ulcerated lesions
have been reported.
Objectives: To describe treatments administered to individuals with NLD and the corresponding
results.
Materials and methods: The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional study in which
retrospective data were collected from the medical records of diabetic patients over
18 years of age who had been diagnosed with NLD and were treated and followed up at
a lesions prevention and treatment outpatient unit at a diabetes center in Curitiba
between 2013 and 2017. The study was approved by the Committee for Ethics in Research
at the Pontifical Catholic University, Paraná, under ref. no. 2.125.287 and authorized
by the management of the unit.
Results: The study sample consisted of 23 medical records of individuals with NLD.
Patients were diagnosed clinically by a dermatologist. In 60.9% of the cases a biopsy
was used for a differential diagnosis. Mean patient age was 32.4 years, 78.3% were
women, 69.6% had type 1 diabetes and mean time since diagnosis was 10.2 years. At
the first assessment, 56.5% of the patients had an ulcerated lesion. During follow-up,
86.9% had ulcerated lesions at least once and 100% of these were treated with photodynamic
therapy (PDT) and porous cellulose membrane. Mean wound-healing time was 23 days.
Discussion: Because the disease is a rare one, occurring in around 0.1 to 0.3% of
the diabetic population, there is no consensus regarding treatment. Worsening of the
inflammatory process and ischemic microangiopathy in the epidermis and deep dermis
have been reported when occlusive dressings are used. A porous cellulose membrane
was chosen because it does not completely occlude the lesion. Studies have shown that
PDT can be used safely to treat ulcerated lesions and lesions with granulomas.
Conclusion: With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, diabetes-related lesions have
led to a greater demand for wound treatment in outpatient units. It is important that
diabetes specialists are increasingly better prepared to recognize and treat these
types of lesions so that patients do not have to suffer the consequences of unsuitable
treatment.

Case presentation: A 3 months old patient, presenting hypoactivity, sialorrhea and
seizures 2 days ago, was admitted to a university hospital. During hospitalization
she was evaluated by neurology that identified a discrete delay in neuropsychomotor
development. Laboratory tests showed high glycemic, low C peptide and negative auto-antibodies
(anti-GAD and anti-islet cells). She performed a skull tomography that demonstrated
a significant volume reduction of the right frontal lobe associated with some sparse
calcifications in the cerebral parenchyma bilaterally more pronounced in the frontal
and parietal lobes of subcortical location, suggested research of congenital infection
by the radiologist. Serologies for toxoplasmosis, rubella and measles negative. History
of maternal varicella during gestation. Initiated insulin glargine schedule and regular
insulin for correction of high glycemia levels, even using more than 1 UI/kg/day it
was not possible to obtain adequate disease control. Due to the delay in carrying
out a genetic study to close the diagnosis, material was collected and sent to the
genetic service and prescribed sulfonylurea (glibenclamide) as a therapeutic test.
The oral medication was initiated in low doses with gradual elevation, and progressive
reduction of the insulin until its suspension. The patient evolved with good glycemic
control and improved neurological symptoms. She was discharged from the hospital using
glibenclamide 20 mg/day. The patient is in outpatient follow-up at the endocrinology
department of the João de Barros Barreto University Hospital. Endocrinology work team
is still waiting for genetic analysis.
Discussion: Due to the neurological changes and manifestation of the disease before
6 months of life, the hypothesis of neonatal diabetes was raised. The associated neurological
(convulsions, hypoactivity and developmental delay) raises the hypothesis of DEND
syndrome by mutation of the KCNJ11 gene, which would explain the combination of symptoms.
Final comments: The experience presented shows that the diagnosis of DEND Syndrome
should be considered even in centers with difficult access to genetic tests. Consent

Case report: A 38 year-old female patient, previously healthy, had been diagnosed
with schizophrenia and started treatment with risperidone. Due to the lack of response,
the medication was switched to olanzapine. After 2 years on the new treatment, however,
she experienced polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia, with a weight gain of approximately
12 kg in a period of 2 years. She was diagnosed with new-onset diabetes mellitus and
hypertriglyceridemia and was referred to our center for evaluation. She was started
on metformin 500 mg/day, NPH insulin 9 units before breakfast and 7 units bedtime,
and bezafibrate 200 mg/day. Ophthalmologic consultation revealed bilateral cataracts
and surgery was offered as treatment. On endocrinological evaluation, she denied family
history of diabetes, weighted 60 kg with 1.54 m of height and a BMI of 25.2 kg/m2.
Exams revealed HbA1c of 13%, triglycerides of 3455 mg/dl, total cholesterol of 570 mg/dl
and HDL cholesterol of 65 mg/dl. LDL was not calculated due to the hypertriglyceridemia.
Insulin was titrated to achieve glycemic control and autoantibodies (antiGAD, antiICA
and anti-insulin) were requested, but they were negative. A letter was addressed to
the psychiatry staff regarding olanzapine’s adverse events, which was exchanged to
ziprasidone. Follow-up revealed improved blood lipids and HbA1C (Table 1). Insulin
dosing was reduced and further withdrawn 3 months after initiation of ziprasidone.
Currently, 2 months thereafter, she is on good glycemic control with metformin and
alogliptin.
Case discussion: Weight gain, hypertriglyceridemia and new-onset diabetes mellitus
had been previously described after the use of atypical antipsychotics, in particular
olanzapine and clozapine. Diabetes pathophysiological mechanisms, in this particular
case, remains unknown, but it’s believed it’s not attributed to weight gain. This
is not the case with ziprasidone, as American Diabetes Association stated. Our patient
showed remarkable improvement in glycemic control, weaning off insulin and staying
on oral low-dose antidiabetics after olanzapine’s withdrawal.
Final comments: The prescribing physician should be aware of these metabolic disfunctions
and intervene when necessary. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the
patient (Fig. 1).

Case report: A 58 year-old male patient was started on Nivolumab infusions every 15 days
after chemotherapy refractory progressive metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, with no
prior history of diabetes. After 4 infusions, he experienced xerostomia, polyuria,
polydipsia and asthenia. Upon emergency evaluation, he was started on I.V. insulin
after a capillary glycemia of 600 mg/dL. He was discharged home with 10 units of NPH
insulin bedtime, with a referral to the endocrinologist. On consultation, he persisted
with the above symptoms, with a BMI of 17.6 kg/m2 (weight 47.3 kg and height 1.64 m);
self-monitored blood glucose showed values between 200 and 500 mg/dL. Insulin was
titrated for a total daily dose of 0.5 UI/kg. Laboratory evaluation showed C-peptide
of 0.34 ng/dL, negative anti-GAD/anti-ICA/anti-insulin autoantibodies. Nivolumab was
withdrawn and no glycemic improvement nor insulin dose reductions were noted.
Case discussion: Nivolumab is a monoclonal antibody targeted against PD-1, acting
as a checkpoint inhibitor, used in the treatment of some forms of metastatic cancer,
like melanoma, renal and non-small cell lung cancer. Acting upon regulatory molecules
of T-lymphocytes can result in destruction of tumor cells which do not respond to
chemotherapy. On the other hand, T-lymphocytes can react with autoantigens, resulting
in autoimmune endocrinopathies like hypophysitis and thyroiditis. Autoimmune diabetes
has been recently linked with this therapy, characteristically 1–5 months after its
initiation. Humoral and cellular components are probably involved, as only a few patients
develop autoantibodies.
Final comments: New-onset diabetes presenting with Diabetic Ketoacidosis and low levels
of Cpeptide represents a possible adverse event from the use of antiPD1 monoclonal
antibody Nivolumab. As novel treatments become more popular, prescribing physician
should be aware of adverse reactions, particularly those potentially fatal. *Consent

Case report: A 36-year-old woman underwent endocrinological follow-up for preoperative
evaluation of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in January 2014 due to body-mass index
(BMI) of 47.53 kg/m2 and systemic arterial hypertension. From February 2016, 1 year
and 5 months after bariatric surgery, the patient presented recurrent hospitalizations
due to neuroglycopenic symptoms, and repeated symptomatic hypoglycemia was confirmed.
The investigation by the arteriographic study with selective catheterization of the
splenic, gastroduodenal and superior mesenteric arteries revealed a pattern suggestive
of hyperinsulinism in the territory of all arteries. After the confirmed diagnosis
by catheterization, the therapeutic management was dietary guidance and prescription
of acarbose. With the partial improvement of the symptoms, the patient was discharged
and received orientations for outpatient control were recommended.
Discussion: Non-insulinoma pancreatogenic hypoglycemia is the most frequent pancreatic
beta-cells hyperplasia in adults. This diagnosis is rare, being necessary to investigate
insulinoma and factitious hypoglycemia, as these are the most frequent causes of hypoglycemia
in adults. The clinical scenario is marked mainly by hypoglycemia crisis, which may
be explained by altered intestinal transit of nutrients and increased secretion of
GLP-1, and often requiring frequent hospitalizations. It occurs mainly through the
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass technique. The initial treatment of hypoglycemic seizures
is clinical and consists of a restricted diet of carbohydrates and drug therapy, which
includes diazoxide (K-channel agonist), octreotide (somatostatin analogue), acarbose
(alpha-glucosidase inhibitor) and calcium channel blocker. If there is no response,
surgical treatment is indicated for total or partial distal pancreatectomy.
Final comments: There is scant information and experience about non-insulinoma pancreatogenic
hypoglycemia. Despite being rare, the number of cases is currently increasing with
the great number of bariatric surgeries performed in the present times. Hypoglycemic
episodes usually occur 1–3 years after surgery. The diagnosis and treatment of this
pathology still present divergences: while some authors advocate for clinical treatment,
others believe it to be primarily surgical, with clinical measures being used only
to stabilize the condition before to the procedure.

Introduction: There is a heterogeneity in the classification of cardiovascular risk
(CVR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM patients were always
considered high risk however, recent evidence suggests the presence of low risk subgroups.
Thyroid dysfunctions (TD), even subclinical ones, have significant effects on cardiovascular
function. The identification of asymptomatic individuals who may be at increased risk
and who could benefit from stricter control and treatment goals is a major challenge.
Objective: The objective is to determine the CVR of asymptomatic T2DM patients with
and without TD, using non-invasive cardiovascular methods.
Methods: It is an observational cross-sectional study. We used clinical and laboratory
parameters to determine the global risk score of Framingham (FRS) and cardiological
exams: coronary calcium score (CCS) to determine the coronary calcification and carotid
ultrasonography to determine the intima-media thickness (IMT).
Results: Sixty-two (62) patients with T2DM were evaluated, 72% women. Sixty-eight
percent (68%) have arterial hypertension and 65% have dyslipidemia. All dyslipidemic
patients used statins. Eleven percent (11%) had previous TD. Sixty-two (62) patients
performed FRS, 31% (19) presented low FRS (< 10%) and 69% (43) intermediate FRS (between
10 and 20%). The mean FRS of the 55 patients without previous TD was 11.92 ± 5.16%
and of 7 patients with previous TD was 14.75 ± 1.86%, p = 0.043.Forty-four (44) of
the 62 patients did the CCS and 26 (60%) had no calcification. After adjusting for
age and sex, 18 were reclassified to the moderate to very severe degree of calcification,
14 belonged to the group without TD and 4 to the group with TD. No statistical difference
was observed between these two groups, p = 0.25. IMT determination was performed in
58 of 62 patients. The mean and SD of the IMT were 0.66 ± 0.13 mm in the patients
without previous TD and 0.64 ± 0.12 mm in the patients with previous TD with no statistical
difference, p = 0.70.
Conclusion: Patients with TD had a higher CVR. Non-invasive cardiological exams, mainly
the determination of the CCS, allowed the reclassification of patients to higher CVR
levels. The individualization of goals to control the disease and its associated comorbidities,
depends on the correct characterization of the risk.

Case report: Patient M.A.Z, male, 44 years old, diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis
in treatment since 1995 without therapeutic response after several treatments. Regular
follow up with infectology, in maintenance treatment with miltefosine and in treatment
with pentamidine every 30 days from January 2017, with a marked improvement of cutaneous
lesions. During the follow-up, in consultation in July 2017, he complained of weight
loss, polydipsia and nocturia, with serum glycemia of 901 mg/dL. Patient was referred
to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a non-ketosis hyperosmolar state, with
tests showing serum osmolarity of 306 mOsm/L and glycated hemoglobin 10.31%. During
hospitalization and after discharge maintained insulin use for glycemic control. Treatment
of leishmaniasis with pentamidine was discontinued and will keep following-up with
infectology and endocrinology.
Discussion: Glycemic disorders are important side effects of pentamidine, with hyperglycemia
reported in 1-5% of cases. There are reports of glycemic change charts up to 11 months
after the start of medication use. The pathophysiology of this change is still unclear,
but it seems to be related to the cytolytic effect of pentamidine on beta cells, which
are more sensitive to this drug than other cells. Initially the injury may cause excessive
glucose release and lead to symptoms of hypoglycemia, with subsequent deficiency in
insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. Permanent diabetes mellitus may succeed the use
of pentamidine, and our patient will be monitored to assess whether diabetes mellitus
will be transient or not. It is not yet clear whether this effect is dose dependent
or idiosyncratic and further studies are needed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of
pentamidine. In addition, patients using pentamidine are often exposed to multiple
drug regimens that can corroborate for cell injury, which as in the case of our patient
may interfere with the evaluation.
Final comments: Pentamidine treatment may be related to severe cases of diabetes mellitus,
in this case with decompensation in a non-ketotic hyperosmolar state. The association
of the hyperosmolar state with pentamidine is noteworthy since there are few reports
of this association in the scientific literature.

Introduction: Nurses play an essential role in patient care diabetic, mainly for developing
educational activities and contributing to their adherence to treatment. The educational
activities carried out by nurses contribute to the control of diabetes, since the
complications have been directly related to poor control and lack of knowledge of
disease.
Objective: To characterize patients seen in the nursing in a multi professional outpatient
clinic of the region of uncompensated and complicated diabetes mellitus. Encourage
guidelines to adherence into proposed treatment.
Methods: Data were collected from January 2016 to June 2017, through the nursing consultation.
This is a descriptive and quantitative study, with a sample of 274 patients who were
outpatient clinic in the interior of São Paulo.
Results: The data revealed female prevalence (63%), with a mean age 57 year, a predominance
of type 2 diabetes, mean disease time of 12 years and 249 mg/dl of blood glucose capillary.
A lack of adherence was observed in 83%, considering as assessment criteria of adequate
nutrition and regular physical activity. 58% of patients monitored capillary glycemia.
All of them had episodes hyperglycaemia and 35% presented hypoglycemia in the last
three months. Diabetes complications have led to hospitalizations in the last 12 months
in 11% of patients. Among nursing diagnoses evaluated the most prevalent were: unstable
glycemic risk (100%), sedentary life (81%), ineffective self-control of health (72%).
In physical examination, guidelines on the complications of diabetes mellitus, emphasizing
the importance of adherence to treatment. Nursing interventions were performed according
to analyzed.
Conclusion: The most important nursing diagnoses are related to lifestyle and lack
of adherence to treatment. Therefore, this study revealed the need for education,
with guidelines that encourage adherence to treatment and self-care, for the prevention
of complications.

Introduction: Obesity has been associated with Diabetic Renal Disease (DRD), particularly
in the non-dialytic phase. Therefore, the evaluation of nutritional status is fundamental
for the interventions planning that make it easier to know the nutritional care of
DRD patients.
Objective: To evaluate the nutritional profile of patients assisted by the Nutrition
in a multidisciplinary team of the DRD clinic in a public hospital.
Methods: Retrospective study, in the multidisciplinary team composed of endocrinologists
and nephrologists, nutritionists and nursing staff. Data were analyzed of patients
attended in the period between 2014 and March 2017. Nutritional data (Weight, Height
and Body Mass Index (BMI)) and laboratory data (serum creatinine and glycated hemoglobin
(HbA1c)) were obtained and results expressed in medians. Glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) was estimated using the MDRD (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) formula
for serum creatinine, age, race, and sex.
Results: The sample consisted of 96 patients, with medians 65 years for age, 29.4 kg/m2
for BMI, 25.1 mL/min/1.73m2 for GFR and 8.0% for HbA1c, with 88.5% of the individuals
used insulin therapy. Despite the predominance of the elderly in the sample (71%),
there was no significant difference in GFR, HbA1C and BMI when compared to adults.
Males accounted for 52% of the sample and, when compared with women, showed higher
GFR (39.6 kg/m2 vs. 25.3 mL/min/1.73m2, p = 0.0018), although similar results to BMI
and HbA1c. Individuals with DRD stage 4 (GFR 22.3 mL/min/1.73m2, BMI 30.2 kg/m2, HbA1c
8.6%) corresponded to 46% of the sample, followed by those in stage 3B (25%, GFR 37.8 mL/min/1.73m2,
BMI 28.2 kg/m2, HbA1c 8.8%), stage 5 (19%, TFG 10.7 mL/min/1.73m2, BMI 28.0 kg/m2,
HbA1c 7.3%), stage 3A (6%, TFG 48.7 mL/min/1.73m2, BMI 29.3 kg/m2, HbA1c 7.6%) and
stage 2 (4%, TFG 70,4 mL/min/1.73m2, BMI 31 kg/m2, HbA1c 6.8%).
Conclusion: There was a predominance of individuals in predialytic stages (stages
4 and 5) of DRD and the elderly. Excess weight was a common factor for the patients,
regardless of the stage of DRD, reinforcing the importance of the nutritionist together
with the multiprofessional team to optimize the clinical treatment and nutritional
evolution of these patients.

Introduction: Although the aging process is not necessarily related to diseases and
disabilities, non-communicable chronic diseases (NCCCDs) are frequently found among
the elderly. Many chronic conditions are also linked to lifestyle choices, such as
smoking, alcohol consumption, sexual behavior, inadequate diet and physical inactivity,
and genetic predisposition. Nutritional status has important implications in the context
of population aging, since the control of a large number of NCCCDs and the prevention
of complications due to them depend on nutritional status.
Objectives: To evaluate the nutritional status and prevalence of NCCCDs in the elderly.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study examined 112 individuals of both sexes, aged
60 years, groups of the elderly in city of Roca Sales-RS. For assessment of nutritional
status, they were measured waist circumference (WC), weight and height, and held calculating
the body mass index (BMI). A questionnaire was applied to obtain the diagnosis of
NCCCDs and lifestyle.
Results: It was observed that 86% (n = 96) of participants were female and 75% (n = 84)
were married. According to the BMI, 57% (n = 64) were overweight, and the men with
the highest mean BMI (p = 0.011). In the evaluation of WC, men also had higher average
when compared to women (p < 0.001). Most participants (82.1%, n = 92) showed much
increased risk for metabolic complications. The NCDs diagnosed were: systemic arterial
hypertension (SAH), dyslipidemia, osteoporosis and diabetes mellitus (DM). Of the
patients included, 83% (n = 19) had at least one and three pathology was the average
number of pathologies.
Conclusions: Given the results, it can be observed high prevalence of overweight,
very high risk for metabolic complications associated with obesity and high diagnosis
three NCCCDs. Among the NCCCDs, the most prevalent were SAH, osteoporosis and DM.
The relation between the diagnosis of NCCCDs, BMI and WC was observed. These results
suggest that the evaluated elderly was in inadequate nutritional conditions. It is
concluded that it is extremely important to create preventive and intervention measures
for the control of obesity and NCCCDs (Figs. 1, 2 )

Introduction: Filariasis is a chronic infectious tropical disease caused by a nematode
parasite, Wuchereria bancrofti. Its most common form is the lymphatic filariasis (FL),
due to the expressiveness of its numbers. In 2004, according to the World Health Organization
(WHO), filariasis affected around 120 million people worldwide, especially in the
tropical humid, high temperature regions of the African and Asian continents, especially
where there was no proper water treatment and sewage. In recent decades, lymphatic
filariasis has emerged as a growing problem of public health in various parts of the
world.
Objective: To identify the prevalence of obesity and diabetes of patients attended
by the National Reference Service in Filariasis (SRNF) of the Aggeu Magalhães Research
Center (CPqAM), in Pernambuco.
Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out through the analysis of secondary
data (from the first nutritional consultation), collected from the medical charts,
of the patients assisted by the SRNF nutrition, from October 2015 to June 2017 (BMI
and waist circumference), lifestyle (smoking, alcoholism and sedentary lifestyle)
and diagnoses of comorbidities were analyzed.
Results: Data were collected from 40 patients, adults and elderly, men and women.
There were 5% of thinness and eutrophy, 90% of excess weight, distributed in 17, 5%
(overweight); 45% (obesity I); 15% (obesity II), 12.5% (obesity III). The change in
WC was a risk factor increased to 15% and greatly increased to 79% of the group. Regarding
lifestyle, there was no habitual use (at least once a week) of alcoholic beverages
or cigarettes. However, 87.5% were sedentary. Among the most frequent comorbidities
are hypertension (60%), diabetes mellitus (27.5%), dyslipidemia (25%) and kali (10%).
Conclusion: The findings allow us to conclude that this group of patients integrate
complications of infectious and chronic diseases. And that the prevalence of obesity
and diabetes stands out because they further aggravate their clinical condition. It
becomes relevant to discuss intervention strategies for lifestyle changes.

Introduction: The Double Diabetes (DD) corresponds to Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1)
associated with overweight and insulin resistance (IR) characteristics. The prevalence
of individuals with DD has increased in recent years in parallel with the increase
in the prevalence of obesity and sedentarism among young people. However, the impact
DD can cause on the natural course of DM1 needs to be better studied.
Objective: To compare the clinical, metabolic and critical complications among groups
of patients with DD and classical DM1 adjusted for the gender ratio and time to diagnosis
of the disease (TDD).
Patients and methods: 46 patients with DD [DM1 and two of the following criteria:
systemic arterial hypertension (defined by NCEP), overweight or obesity (WHO), dyslipidemia
(NCEP) and clinical signs of peripheral insulin resistance] and 65 individuals with
classical DM1 in relation to glycated hemoglobin, lipid profile and prevalence of
microvascular and macrovascular complications of the disease. Statistic–ANOVA, paired
t test, X2 with p < 0.05.
Discussion: In this study it was observed that patients with DD had a higher age at
diagnosis, a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia and coronary arterial disease (CAD)
(10.9 vs 0.0, p < 0.05) than those with classic DM1. These results are in agreement
with Merger et al. (2016). In 5 years of following-up there was an increase in the
obesity degree of DD patients.
Conclusion: Patients with DD presents higher risk for CAD with the same time of diagnosis
of classical DM1 patients, despite the clinical diagnosis in the 1st or 2nd decades.

Older patients (pts) with T2D are disproportionately impacted by treatment-related
hypoglycemia and its adverse consequences. The DELIVER 3 retrospective study examined
the performance of Gla-300 in older pts with T2D in real-world clinical settings focusing
on glycemic control and hypoglycemia risk. The Predictive Health Intelligence Environment
database (representing 26 integrated healthcare delivery networks) was used to identify
T2D pts aged ≥ 65 years of age on basal insulin who switched to either Gla-300 or
other basal insulins (insulin glargine 100 U/mL, insulin determir or insulin degludec)
from March 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016. Pts had ≥ 12 months (mo) of baseline data
and ≥ 6 mo of follow-up data. The effect of cohort on A1C reduction, hypoglycemia
incidence/event rate, and achievement of A1C goal at 6 mo were assessed by generalized
linear models or logistic regression models with adjustment for baseline characteristics.
The analysis included 468 pts switched to Gla-300 and 1142 pts switched to other basal
insulins; mean age was 71.8 and 73.1 years, mean baseline A1C levels were 8.52% and
8.34% for the two cohorts, respectively. Switching to Gla-300 vs. other basal insulins
led to comparable changes in A1C (least squares [LS]-mean difference: − 0.09; P = 0.24),
and similar proportions of pts in each cohort achieved A1C < 7.0% (OR: 0.798; 95%
CI 0.581, 1.098; P = 0.166) and < 8.0% (OR: 0.967; 95% CI 0.749, 1.248; P = 0.797).
Pts switched to Gla-300 were 57% less likely to have hypoglycemia at 6-mo follow-up
(OR: 0.432; 95% CI 0.307–0.607; P < 0.0001). After adjusting for baseline characteristics,
hypoglycemia event rates were also significantly lower in the Gla-300 cohort (LS-mean
difference: − 4.94 events/100 pt–mo; P = 0.0002). In real-world clinical settings,
switching to Gla-300 in older pts with T2D is associated with significantly lower
hypoglycemia risk and similar glycemic control vs. other basal insulins. This is an

Background and aims: In people with T2DM, a patient-level meta-analysis of EDITION
1, 2 and 3 has shown insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) provides more sustained glycemic
control with less hypoglycemia over 1 year vs insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Gla-100).
This post hoc analysis investigated these outcomes in the subgroup of adults aged ≥ 65 year.
Method: Patient-level meta-analysis of efficacy and safety outcomes in the population
of participants aged ≥ 65 year in EDITION 1, 2 and 3 over 1 year of treatment.
Results: Gla-300 showed comparable glycemic control to Gla-100 (Table). The total
number of confirmed (≤ 70 mg/dL) or severe hypoglycemic events over 12 months was
lower for Gla-300 vs Gla-100 (any time [24 h]: 4664 vs 5101; nocturnal [00:00–05:59 h]:
604 vs 839). The risk of experiencing ≥ 1 confirmed (≤ 70 mg/dL) or severe nocturnal
hypoglycemic event was lower for Gla-300 relative to Gla-100 (relative risk [RR] 0.79
[95% CI 0.67–0.94]) (Table). Mean (SD) daily basal insulin dose increased from baseline
to 1 year by 0.35 (0.27) U/kg for Gla-300 and 0.23 (0.25) U/kg for Gla-100. The mean
(SD) increase in body weight from baseline to 1 year was small and comparable in both
groups (Gla-300: 1.1 [4.0] kg; Gla-100: 1.3 [3.3] kg).
Conclusion: Comparable glycemic control with lower risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia
with Gla-300 vs Gla-100 has been shown over 1 year of treatment in older people, aged ≥ 65
year. Study codes: NCT01499082, NCT01499095 and NCT01676220. This is an ENCORE abstract

Introduction: Alzheimer Disease (AD) are closely related to hippocampal insulin resistance.
Some evidences points to TAU protein hyperphosphorylation and b-amyloid accumulation,
induced by insulin resistance.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the omega-3 (w3) properties into delay early onset
AD markers in the hippocampus of obese and diabetic mice induced by high-fat diet.
Methods: Swiss mice (n = 30) were separated into 3 groups: Control (CT), fed with
standard diet for 16 wk; High-fat (HF) fed with high-fat diet (31% lard and 4% soy
oil) for 16 wk; and high-fat and omega-3 (HF + w3) fed with high-fat for 8 wk and
after, fed with high-fat diet substituted in 10% of lard by flaxseed oil (rich in
omega-3–52.3% C18:3) for another 8 wk. At the end of experimental period we carried
out glucose and insulin sensitivity, chromatography analyses from diet and hippocampus
and mRNA and proteins markers by RT-qPCR and Western Blots respectively.
Results: The HF diet induced systemic insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.
The obese and diabetic mice shown high gene expression and protein content related
to inflammation (IL-1β, p-JNK), endoplasmatic reticulum stress (p-eiF2α), apoptosis
(BAX) and p-TAU, an AD marker. The diet substituted in part by flaxseed oil (HF + w3)
all of this genes and proteins were reduced. This diet was capable to increase the
antiapoptotic protein (Bcl2) and insulin degrading enzyme (IDE), involved in b-amyloid
clearance.
Conclusion: Even with the maintenance of high-fat diet, the omega-3 fatty acids present
in higher concentration on flaxseed oil was enough to block the inflammatory and degenerative
hippocampal state induced by obesogenic state.
A300 Oral antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic agents used by elderly adults with otoneurological
complaints

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases among elderly people. Diabetes
is associated with dyslipidemia, among other comorbidities such as changes in vestibular
function, which can compromise body balance and hearing in these patients. Pharmacotherapy
is clinically important in these conditions but can cause risks due to the adverse
effects of drug formulations.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of oral antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic
medications in elderly patients with otoneurological complaints.
Materials and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was carried out at the
research laboratory of a private university in São Paulo, Brazil. The study was approved
by the Institution‘s Research Ethics Committee, approval number 14610. Data were collected
from a convenience sample composed of 88 elderly people from the community, who had
some vestibular complaint and were in treatment for diabetes and dyslipidemia. Sociodemographic
information was collected, as were the main complaints related to body balance and
hearing, and the medications in use. We only included antidiabetic and antidyslipidemic
medications identified through the Electronic Bulletin of the Brazilian National Health
Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). A significance level of 5% was used for Chi square test
and Fisher’s exact test.
Results: In the study population, women predominated (85%) and participants’ ages
ranged from 60 to 88 years, with the most prevalent age groups 60-65 years (30%) and
66–70 years (34%); 9% of participants were over 80 years old. We found that 36% of
elderly patients used oral antidiabetic drugs (mainly glibenclamide) and 63% used
antidyslipidemic drugs (mainly simvastatin). Polypharmacotherapy was observed in most
study participants. Fischer‘s exact test did not show a significant association (p > 0.05)
between the use of these two therapeutic classes and the most prevalent complaints,
i.e., dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, hearing loss, and body imbalance.
Conclusions: Otoneurological complaints, especially dizziness, were prevalent among
elderly participants who used concomitant medications, including those for the treatment
of diabetes and dyslipidemia. These are both important comorbidities in vestibular
disorders because the metabolic changes in diabetes lead to vestibular dysfunction.
The use of these drugs was not associated with the reported complaints, perhaps because
of the limited sample size and/or because the elderly patients in this study did not
have clinically severe conditions

of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia: importance of defining diagnosis to chose
between clinical or surgical approaches

Introduction: The Endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemias (EHH), including insulinoma,
pancreatogenic non-insulinoma hypoglycemia (PNIH) and autoimmune hypoglycemia, are
rare and often difficult to diagnose. After biochemical confirmation of EHH, imaging
tests are performed to identify culprit lesions. When a lesion is not found through
imaging (in 20-30% of cases), pancreatic catheterism (PC) with calcium stimulus can
be used as the gold standard exam to define the existence of inappropriate insulin
secretion. An insulin increment of more than two times the basal value after the stimulus
in any pancreatic territory (PT) defines an altered test. In general, clinical management
is performed for cases of PNIH and surgical resection, for insulinomas.
Patients and methods: 4 PC were performed from 2010 to 2017. All female patients,
aged between 32 and 42 years. The first had a history of primary hypothyroidism and
presented with episodes of postprandial hypoglycemia with negative anti-insulin antibody
and normal imaging tests. PC was suggestive of PNIH, with one altered PT. She had
partial response to diet fractioning and medications. Patients 2 and 3 had prior bariatric
surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) 3 and 7 years, respectively, before the onset of
symptoms of postprandial hypoglycemia. They had normal imaging tests and the PC was
suggestive of PNIH. Patient 2 had one compromised PT and did not respond well to medications,
so she was submitted to distal pancreatectomy with good response. Patient 3 had two
altered PT, with partial response to diet fractioning and oral medications. Patient
4 had no comorbidities and, after presenting with postprandial hypoglycemia, she underwent
transgrastric echoendoscopy that identified a 3.5 cm hypervascularized nodule in the
uncinate process of the pancreas. PC demonstrated changes in superior mesenteric artery
territory. After resection of the uncinate process, she presented with remission of
hypoglycemia, without the need of medication. Anatomopathological exam revealed an
neuroendocrine tumor.
Conclusion: PC, in suspected EHH cases, is useful to differentiate insulinoma from
noninsulinoma EHH, which has direct implications when deciding the therapeutic approach

Objective: To compare quantitatively the pancreatic perfusion by CT in type 2 diabetes
(T2DM) and non-diabetic subjects. Research design and
Methods: 17 patients with T2DM and 22 non-diabetic controls were examined with a dynamic
192-slices perfusion CT (Siemens, Munich, Germany) between October 2015 and September
2016 for estimating pancreatic blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), time to peak (TTP)
and mean transit time (MTT). Variables were compared by student t test and x2 between
subjects with and without T2DM. Correlations between CT perfusion parameters and clinical
and laboratory characteristics were performed by Pearson correlation coefficients.
Results: Patients with T2DM had lower BV in pancreatic head (with T2DM: 14.0 mL/100L ± 3.4
vs. without T2DM: 16.1 mL/100L ± 2.4; p = 0.033), in pancreatic tail (with: 14.4 mL/100L ± 3.6
vs. without: 16.8 mL/100L ± 2.5; p = 0.023), and in the whole pancreas (with: 14.2 mL/100L ± 3.2
vs. without: 16.2 mL/100L ± 2.5; P = 0.042). Similar results were observed for MTT
in pancreatic head (with: 7.0 s ± 1.0 vs. without: 7.9 s ± 1.2; p = 0.018), in pancreatic
tail (with: 6.6 s ± 1.3 vs. without: 7.7 s ± 0.9; P = 0.005), and in the whole pancreas
(with: 6.8 s ± 1.0 vs. without: 7.7 s ± 0.9; p = 0.016). BV was inversely correlated
with age (head—r: − 0.352, p = 0.032; tail—r: − 0.421, p = 0.031; whole pancreas—r:
− 0.439, p = 0.007) and with fasting plasma glucose (head—r: − 0.360, p = 0.031; tail—r:
− 0.483, p = 0.003; whole pancreas—r: − 0.447, p = 0.006). BV in pancreatic head showed
also negative correlation with HbA1c (r: − 0.067, p = 0.021).
Conclusion: Pancreatic BV and MTT were significantly lower in T2DM patients. These
data suggest the possibility of perfusion changes in the pancreas of T2DM subjects,
which may represent a new diabetic microvascular complication.

Insulin degludec/liraglutide is a novel, fixed-ratio combination of the long-acting
basal insulin analogue, insulin degludec and the human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue,
liraglutide.The efficacy and safety of IDegLira in the treatment of patients with
type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been established in previous studies. IDegLira may serve
as an intensification option for patients with T2D using basal insulin, a population
where less than one-third of patients achieve an HbA1c of < 7.0%.The primary objective
of this study was to determine the efficacy of IDegLira in subjects with T2D inadequately
controlled with insulin glargine U100 (IGlarU100).Secondary objectives were to confirm
superiority of IDegLira versus IGlar after 26 weeks of treatment in one or more of
the following:change from baseline in HbA1c, confirmed hypoglycaemia, change from
baseline in body weight.DUAL V was a 26-week, open-label, treat-to-target trial investigating
the efficacy and safety of IDegLira vs IGlar in subjects with T2D inadequately controlled
on IGlarU100 and metformin. In total, 557 adults with T2D and HbA1c 7.0–10.0% were
randomised 1:1 to either IDegLira or IGlarU100 plus continued treatment with metformin.
There were fewer confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes in subjects on IDegLira (223.0 episodes/100
patient-years of exposure [PYE])than on IGlar U100 (505.4 episodes/100 PYE) (estimated
rate ratio [ERR]:0.43 [0.30; 0.61]95% CI, p < 0.001).The rate of nocturnal confirmed
hypoglycaemia (occurring between 00:01 and 05:59, both inclusive) was also significantly
lower with IDegLira (22.4 episodes/100 PYE) compared with IGlarU100 (122.8 episodes/100
PYE)(ERR: 0.17 [0.10; 0.31]95% CI, p < 0.001). Mean HbA1c decreased from 8.4% to 6.6%
for IDegLira and from 8.2% to 7.1% for IGlar (estimated treatment difference [ETD]:
− 0.59% [− 0.74;− 0.45]95% CI, p < 0.001) after 26 weeks of treatment.Significantly
more subjects on IDegLira than on IGlarU100 achieved HbA1c targets. Mean (SD) FPG
change from baseline was –2.83 mmol/L (2.80) and − 2.77 mmol/L (3.02) for IDegLira
and IGlarU100 respectively (ETD:− 0.01 mmol/mol [− 0.35; 0.33]95% CI, NS). After 26 weeks,
the mean fasting SMBG was close to the target of 4.0–5.0 mmol/L for IDegLira and IGlarU100
(5.9 mmol/L and 5.6 mmol/L, respectively; NS). At week 26, subjects on IDegLira displayed
a mean (SD) weight loss of 1.4 kg (3.5) whilst those using IGlar had a mean increase
of 1.8 kg (3.6) from baseline (ETD: − 3.20 kg [− 3.77; − 2.64]95% CI, p < 0.001) (Fig.

Introduction: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (NAC) is a disorder due to numerous pathological
processes, such as Diabetes Mellitus. The slow recovery of the autonomic balance after
physical effort observed in NAC represents a higher risk to cardiovascular health.
Objective: To evaluate the influence of physical activity level on the autonomic recovery
after physical effort in individuals with type 2 diabetes (2-DM).
Methods: Fourteen 2-DM of both sexes with 55.8 ± 2.5 years of age were allocated in:
physically active (PA-DM; n = 7) and insufficiently active (IA-DM; n = 7). The level
of physical activity was assess by short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
The resting heart rate variability (HRV) was performed through the electrocardiographic
record. To evaluate the cardiac autonomic recovery, the volunteers performed an ergometric
test by the Bruce protocol. The methods of time varying and HRV time frequency analysis
were used obtained the HF and RMSSD vagal index from consecutive 30-second and 1-minute
windows for a total period of 60 min after the physical effort test.
Results: The PA-DM group showed a higher resting bradycardia (67.1 ± 2.6 bpm) in comparison
with IA-DM (77.6 ± 3.1 bpm; p = 0.025). The cardiac vagal modulation during rest represented
by RMSSD index (21.1 ± 2.0 ms), pNN50 (2.4 ± 1.2%) and HF band (254.9 ± 47.8 ms2)
was observed in PA-DM when compared to respective index of RMSSD (10.7 ± 1.7 ms; p = 0.002),
pNN50 (0.2 ± 0.2%; p = 0.004) and HF band (133.0 ± 79.6 ms2; p = 0.038) in IA-DM.
The PA-DM group had a lower mean of HR (78.2 ± 0.9 bpm) during the recovery period
in comparison to the IA-DM group (89.1 ± 0.8 bpm; P ˂ 0.001). The IA-DM group when
compared to the PA-DM group in all recovery periods had low vagal index of RMSSD30 s
(9.2 ± 0.1 ms vs. 16.1 ± 0.2 ms; p˂0.001) and HF1 min (43.9 ± 2.7 ms2 vs. 97.4 ± 4.9 ms2;
p < 0.001). We evidence that only the PA-DM group obtained a complete vagal reactivation
after physical effort.
Conclusion: The data of the present study demonstrate that regular physical activity
is effective to promote improvements in the autonomic behavior of rest, as well as
in the post-exercise autonomic recovery, reducing the risk of arrhythmias and sudden
death.

Introdution: Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic and is estimated to account
for a contingent of 12 million diabetics in Brazil posing a public health challenge.
In 2009, diabetes was the fourth cause of death in the country compared to groups
with cardiovascular disorders, respiratory diseases and neoplasia. The prevalence
of patients diagnosed with complications is high, justified by the insidious nature
of the disease, the non-recognition of the risk factors by the population and the
delay to seek care.
Objectives: To know the perception of the out-patients (OP), including diabetics,
and general populace (GP) in their daily lives regarding the severity of the cardiometabolic
risk factors, particularly diabetes, and other diseases.
Method: Observational, descriptive-exploratory, cross-sectional, population-based
and institutional study using a severity scale of one to ten. The study was performed
in a referral hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil and in the general community of Uberaba,
MG. It was conducted with 391 individuals, of whom 197 were treated at the outpatient
ward − 89 diabetic patients and 108 non-diabetic patients, and 194 GP individuals.
Results: The female gender represented 54.48% (213), mean age 52.2 ± 14.7 years, with
54.73% (214) whites, 24.55% were brown and 20.20% (79) were black people. As for education,
41.94% (164) had incomplete elementary education, followed by 28.39% (111) with a
complete secondary school. In relation to dyslipidemia, cancer, stroke and infarction,
mean scores among diabetics were 8.18 ± 1.89, 9.82 ± 0.86, 9.70 ± 0.78, and 9.41 ± 1.55,
respectively, with p < 0.05 compared to OP. Regarding smoking, mean scores among diabetics
were 9.39 ± 1.25, with p < 0.05 compared to GP. Arterial hypertension received mean
scores among diabetics of 8.66 ± 1.60, with p < 0.05 compared to OP and GP. As for
diabetes, the mean score among diabetics was 8.87 ± 1.97, with p > 0.05 compared to
OP (p = 0.19) and GP (p = 0.08). The other variables were not statistically significant
between groups.
Conclusion: There was a statistical difference regarding the perception of the severity
of the main cardiometabolic risk factors in diabetic subjects, compared to non-diabetics
and general population. It is assumed that the assistance and medical guidance provided
to diabetics influenced their perceptions, although there was no statistical difference
in the perception of the severity of diabetes itself, considered to be serious among
the groups studied (Fig. 1)

Case report: TRE, female, 16 yo, admitted in 2008, presented with weakness and syncope
during episodes of hypoglycaemia, with resolution of symptoms after feeding. She reported
episodes of lethargy and absence crises since 3 months old, treated as epilepsy until
14 yo. The diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia was confirmed and scans (ultrasound,
computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) were inconclusive at the time.
We prescribed verapamil and frequent meals. The surgical team indicated subtotal pancreatectomy,
refused by the patient’s family. She then lost follow up and returned with 20 yo,
pregnant, without any medications. We prescribed diazoxide during pregnancy, with
clinical improvement of symptoms, but medicine was discontinued later due to its high
cost and lack of approval by Anvisa. She later returned in 2016 and a selective pancreatic
arterial calcium injection was performed (Table 1). The results confirmed diffuse
insulin secretion and persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia of infancy by expanded
islet beta cell mass. An endoscopic pancreatic ultrasonography with normal pancreatic
biopsy and a somatostatin receptor scintigraphy were also performed. After discussion
with the surgical team, it was opted for subtotal pancreatectomy, but again the patient
denied it.
Discussion: The investigation of hypoglycaemia in seemingly healthy patients starts
with documentation of the hypoglycaemic episode. The differential diagnosis includes
exogenous hypoglycaemia and endogenous hyperinsulinism. The first hypothesis was excluded
and laboratorial measures fulfilled the criteria for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia
(Table 2). The scans performed could not localize an insulinoma. The combination of
different modalities of scans, both invasive or not, localizes most of the insulinomas
preoperatively. However, about 4% of patients with endogenous hyperinsulinism will
present with diffuse involvement and hypertrophy of islet cells, which is clinically
indistinguishable from insulinomas. In uncertain cases between insulinoma and pancreatic
cell hypertrophy, the selective pancreatic calcium infusion is an option. An endpoint
greater than 2 to fivefold increase in hepatic venous insulin levels over baseline
regionalizes insulinomas with high sensitivity. Management of hypoglycaemia can be
clinical, but in severe and refractory cases, subtotal pancreatectomy is necessary
and helps improve the symptoms of hypoglycaemia (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
See text for description
Conclusion: The management of persistent hypoglycaemia in the adult can be challenging
and the reported case illustrates the difficulties during follow-up and treatment,
since the insulin diffuse secretion requires a more aggressive approach, refused by
the patient.
Patient consent: Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication
of the submitted article.

Introduction: In recent years, the prescription of continuous subcutaneous insulin
infusion (CSII) in type 1 diabetes (T1D), has increased significantly. However, few
studies have evaluated the parameters for calculating the insulin and carbohydrate
ratio, and sensitivity factors at the beginning or during adjustment of this therapy
according to age in brazilian real-life eating patterns.
Objective: To evaluate the insulin:carbohydrate ratio(ICR) and sensitivity factor
(ISF) in different age T1D patients with CSII compared with the internationally proposed
“500” and “1800” rules.
Methods: We evaluated 85 patients divided into prepubertal (PPG: < 9 years, n: 20),
pubertal (PG: 9 to 18 years, n: 30) and adults (AG: > 18 years, n: 35) with mean CSII
time (3.8 ± 2.9 years). Mean age (years), BMI (kg/m2), total insulin dose (TID) (insulin/kg/day),
basal and bolus %, ICR and ISF of rule to achieve ICR and ISF for each group.
Results: The mean age, BMI and A1c were, respectively, PPG (6.2 ± 2.3 years, 17.6 ± 2.7 kg/m2
and 7.7 ± 2.1%,), PG (13.8 ± 3.2 years, 21.2 ± 3.6 kg/m2 and 8.8 ± 1.3%), AG (25.9 ± 5.2 years,
24.1 ± 3.4 kg/m2 and 8.0 ± 1.7%). The TID was in PPG (0.8 ± 0.1 U/kg/day); PG(1,1 ± 0,4u/kg/d)
and AG (0,7 ± 0,2 u/kg/d (P = 0.0001), and the proportion of baseline was PPG (41.7 ± 7,
p < 0.001) 4%); GP (45.1 ± 12.0%); AG (52.5 ± 13.6%); p = 0.000. The mean ICR in PPG
was (15.9 ± 3.9 g); GP (11.0 ± 2.4 g); AG (10.9 ± 4.1 g) p = 0.000 and ISF was for
PPG (100.2 ± 29.8 mg/dl); PG (49.3 ± 16 mg/dl) and AG (46.3 ± 13.3 g) p = 0.000. In
the intragroup evaluation, ICR and SF were significantly lower in breakfast than in
the other meals (p = 0.00). When compared to the delta (expected values for rule “500”
and rule “1800”) in relation to the observed ones this was significant in PPG for
both ICR and SF while in PG and AG only for FS. The rules that best fit the parameters
of each group were for ICR: PPG (350), PG (540) AG (500) p = 0.00 and for SF: PPG
(2100), PG (2350) and AG (2100) p = 0.000.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the insulin dose suggested by “Rule 500”
for ICR is underestimated (-20%) for children and the “Rule 1800” is overestimated
for SF (+ 10%) in all age groups in our country. One suggestion would be to initiate
SCII therapy with the rule of 400 for ICR in children and 500 for adolescents and
adults and SF of 2000 for all age groups. The complementation of this study will be
verifying the relation of these factors to reach the targets of good glycemic control
in T1D patients of different age groups.

Introduction: Five dipeptidyl peptidase 4-inhibitors (DPP4) are available in Brazil
for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Objective: To compare the cost-effectiveness ratio of the available DPP4 inhibitors
used as monotherapy for the T2DM treatment in Brazil.
Methods: Data for clinical outcome was taken from a systematic review and mixed treatment
meta-analyses comparison (MTC) of randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy
of the available DPP4 drugs1. The interest outcome was the mean change of HbA1c from
baseline. Annual treatment costs included only drug acquisition costs based on the
drug labels. Drug prices were obtained from an official public source (Kairos Magazine—April
2017)2. Costs are presented in Brazilian Reais (BRL). Since this is a one-year time
horizon analysis no discount rate was utilized.
Results: All DPP4 presented a statistically significant change of HbA1c from baseline
compared to placebo (alogliptin − 0.797 (95%CI − 0.943 to − 0.651); linagliptin − 0.734
(CI − 0.88 to − 0.588); saxagliptin − 0.593 (CI − 0.811 to − 0.375); sitagliptin -0.788
(CI − 0.954 to − 0.622); vildagliptin −0.60 (CI − 0.80 to − 0.40)). Based on drug
acquisition costs, alogliptin monotherapy presented the lowest annual treatment costs
and the lowest cost for every 1% HbA1c reduction followed by saxagliptin, linagliptin,
sitagliptin and vildagliptin (Table 1).
Conclusion: The five available DPP-4 inhibitors showed similar efficacy data. alogliptin
seems to be related to the lowest annual treatment costs and costeffectiveness ratio
for the Brazilian patients when used as monotherapy (Fig. 1)

Background: In the treatment of obese patients, after weight loss by using diet, with
or without medications, increase of physical activity (PA) is considered a fundamental
weapon for weight maintenance. In grade II and III obese patients the PA performance
is impaired. Few studies evaluate the PA after bariatric surgery (BS).
Aims: Evaluate the PA level in grade II and III obese patients before and 6–8 months
after BS.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we 305 grade II and III obese patients attending
to pre-surgical clinic and 188 patients who underwent to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) at Centro de Tratamento da Obesidade of Santa
Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre were evaluated. All patients answered the International
Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ—short form) and were classified according to
the frequency and duration of their PA. The achievement of 150 min or more of PA per
week, according the World Health Organization (WHO) was evaluated. The patients’ PA
level on pre and post-surgery was compared through Fischer’s Exact test.
Results: After BS (30.8% SG and 69.2% RYGB), the PA level by IPAQ and number of those
who made at list 150 min per week was not different between SG and RYGB (p = 0.320
and 0 = 0.515, respectively). After BS patients were more active (44.1%) and very
active (16.1%) comparing to the pre-surgery group (39.0 and 4.6%, respectively). On
pre-surgery group, the sedentary frequency of exercising < 150 min/week was higher
(13.1%) compared with post-surgical patients (3.4%; p < 0.0001). On PA time evaluation,
a lesser percentage of pre-surgical patients (48.2%) realized 150 min or more of PA
per week comparing with post-surgery group (62.8%; p = 0.005).
Conclusion: After BS, patients are more active and less sedentary and some make 150 min
or more of PA per week, but a lot of them do not achieve even the PA level recommended
by WHO.

Introduction: Inflammation in obese individuals dysregulates glycemic homeostasis,
as regards insulin-dependent signaling. Omega-3 fatty acids (w3) act as anti-inflammatory
agent through their GPR120 receptor. Moderate physical exercise acts in several molecular
pathways, also reducing the inflammatory process, however it seems to interfere in
the modulation of this nutritional receptor.
Objective: Different from the studies of simple interactions between the nutritional
and sports sciences, we evaluated the ability of exercise into increase the GPR120
expression and its function as an anti-inflammatory receptor activated by w3 sources,
as well flaxseed oil (52.3%) in different types of muscle fibers, from obese and DM2
mice.
Methods: Bioinformatics analysis used at least 40 animals per group. For experimental
procedures, Swiss mice (n = 10/group), 4 weeks old, underwent acute exercise protocol
(single bout), with muscle biopsy after 0-8-16-24 and 48 h for expression analysis
of GPR120. Other set of animals were exposed during 8 weeks to a: standard diet (group
CT) and high-fat diet (HF), to induce obesity and insulin resistance disturbances.
After this, the HF group was redistributed into new groups: HF; HF diet plus chronic
exercise (HF + Exe); HF diet plus flaxseed oil by gavage (100 µL/day) (HF + FS); or
HF plus exercise plus FS (HF + EXE + FS), for another 4 wk. Food consumption, weight
gain, insulin/glucose tolerance, thermogenesis were carried out. GPR120 and β-arrestin2,
insulin pathway (AKT), inflammation (IL1b, IL6, IL10, TNFα, TAK1 and IL-1β), and glycogen
synthesis proteins (GS,GF,AKT) were evaluated in the soleus, EDL and gastrocnemius
muscles, through Western Blot, RT-Qpcr and immunohistochemistry. Lipidomics guaranteed
the w3 incorporation by tissues. After ANOVA, statistical significance was assumed
when P < 0.05 (Tukey).
Results: The acute exercise induced an increase in the expression/protein content
of GPR120 in all muscle extracts, but the chronic one, together with or not to flaxseed
oil, only increased in the EDL. The HF + EXE, HF + FS and HF + EXE + FS groups reduced
body mass (mesenteric and retroperitoneal adipose tissue), improved insulin/glucose
sensitivity, increasing Akt activity and decreasing inflammatory status, compared
to HF group. FS induced thermogenesis in obese animals (HF + FS). Lipidomic confirmed
the incorporation of w3 in muscle tissues. Bioinformatics predicted the correlation
between the increment on GPR120 gene expression and running, VO2max, locomotor activity.
Conclusion: The physical exercise positively modulated the GPR120 receptor in the
muscle of dysmetabolic animals, potentiating the anti-inflammatory action of w3 fatty
acids, partially restoring glycemic control.

Introduction: Pilates and combined training have benefits for type 2 diabetics, but
due to lack of more consistent data, the need to investigate the effects of these
two methods arises.
Objective: To compare the posttraining glycemia of type 2 diabetic subjects submitted
to different training methods.
Method: This study was characterized as pre-experimental, participated in the study
five diabetics, of both sexes. They performed pilates and combined training twice
a week, lasting 40 min, over a 9 weeks period. The measurement of capillary blood
glucose (CBG) was performed before and after each training session. The Wilcoson test
was used for the analysis of repeated measurements of CBG before and after the training
methods. The nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis test was also performed. A significance
level of p ≤ 0.05 was adopted for all tests.
Results: There was a significant reduction in post-training blood glucose in pilates
(179.3 mg/dL ± 46.7 mg/dL versus 136.2 mg/dL ± 31.6 mg/dL) and combined (170.5 mg/dL ± 38.6 mg/dL
versus 131.9 mg/dL ± 29.4 mg/dL). No difference was found between the two methods
in reducing blood glucose.
Conclusion: The Pilates Method and Combined Training were effective in controlling
the capillary glycemia of type 2 diabetics in this study. Comparing the two methods,
no statistically significant difference was observed.

Case report: A 31-years-old woman, overweight (BMI = 28 kg/m2) and irregular treatment
for hyperthyroidism from Plummer disease diagnosed one year ago, is referred to assistance
at 8th week of pregnancy, complaining about dysphagia and tremors. At that time, she
wasn´t taking any anti-thyroid drug (ATD). She did not have family history of diabetes
or thyroid disease. Laboratorial findings included: Total T4 = 22.4 mcg/dL (RR: 5.1–14.1);
TSH < 0.01mcUI/mL; TRAb = 0.6 UI/L (RR: < 1.75); fasting blood glucose = 107 mg/dL.
Thyroid ultrasound showed a nodule in the right lobe, cystic, measuring 80 × 41 × 53 mm.
Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) was confirmed in the first trimester
with two fasting blood glucose between 92 and 125 mg/dl, leading to the onset of insulin
therapy and ATD. Due to the persistence of compressive symptoms and the need for high
doses of ATD, partial right thyroidectomy was performed at 17 weeks of pregnancy,
without complications. After surgery, levothyroxine was started. Insulin dose was
gradually reduced and suspended at 29 weeks of gestation. Throughout the rest of gestation
time, self monitoring of pre and postprandial blood glucose was within the target.
Baby was born at term, with adequate weight for gestational age, without complications.
At 6 weeks postpartum, the oral glucose tolerance test ruled out diabetes and levothyroxine
dose was adjusted.
Discussion: Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy can lead to unfavorable outcomes
for both the mother and the fetus. Considering the relationship between hyperthyroidism
and insulin resistance, metabolic stress during pregnancy may be considered an additional
risk factor for the development of GDM. There are controversies in the literature,
with more studies associating hypothyroidism with GDM and few studies establishing
this relationship with hyperthyroidism, being even rarer with Plummer Disease. In
this case report, after controlling thyroid function, the patient progressed with
diabetes remission, suggesting hyperthyroidism as the cause of glycemic decompensation.
Conclusion: This report highlights how hyperthyroidism aggravates insulin resistance
and may be an additional and potentially reversible risk factor for the development
or aggravation of GDM, which may increase maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.

Introduction: Peripheral polyneuropathy (PNP) has been described as a complication
of obesity and bariatric surgery (BS).
Objective: To define prevalence of PNP and associated factors in patients of a center
of treatment of obesity before and 12,3 ± 5,7 months after being submitted to BS.
Methods: 294 patients were evaluated before the BS and 113 patients were evaluated
after being submitted to Y-in-Roux gastric by-pass (n = 80) or to Sleeve Gastrectomy
(n = 32). Presence of PNP was defined by the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument
(MNSI) and by the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS).
Results: Prevalence of PNP in the pre bariatric period was 26.2% by the MNSI and 5.2%
by the NDS. After BS, prevalence of PNP was 18.6% with MNSI and 4.4% with NDS. By
using the MNSI, before and after BS, presence of PNP was associated with higher serum
levels of 25 hydroxy-vitamin D on univariate analysis (p = 0.023 and p = 0.044, respectively).
By using NDS, no significant associations were found, but evaluation of the results
of the two tests of NDS that are not used on MNSI (temperature sensation and pin-prick)
showed an association of positivity of these tests with triglycerides serum levels
(p = 0.035 before BS and p = 0.030 after BS) and with body weight (p = 0.016 after
BS) on univariate analysis. On three models of Poisson multivariate analysis, positivity
of temperature sensation and/or pin-prick test was associated with triglycerides levels
after BS (95% IC of 1.007–1.028; 1.007–1.029; 1.008–1.028).
Conclusion: PNP is probably related to serum triglyceride levels after BS.

Background and aims: In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled
on basal insulin, the LixiLan-L trial demonstrated the efficacy and safety of LixiLan
(iGlarLixi), a novel titratable fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine 100U (iGlar)
and lixisenatide (Lixi), compared with iGlar alone, with up to two oral glucose-lowering
drugs. By itself, Lixi is a once-daily, prandial glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor
agonist with a predominant postprandial plasma glucose (PPG)-lowering effect brought
about mainly by delaying gastric emptying. This mechanism is complementary to the
fasting plasma glucose-lowering effect of iGlar, and, therefore, the combination of
the two agents as iGlarLixi could potentially lead to better glycaemic control compared
with individual agents in patients with T2D. Here we report an exploratory analysis
of iGlarLixi PPG outcomes from the LixiLan-L trial. Materials and
Methods: LixiLan-L had a 6-week run-in when iGlar was introduced or optimized; participants
were then randomized to iGlarLixi or iGlar. Post hoc analyses were performed to assess
the percentage of patients reaching PPG < 7.8 (AACE target) or < 10 mmol/L (ADA/EASD
target) at 0.5, 1 and 2 h after a standardized liquid meal at baseline and Week 30,
PPG 0–2 h area under the curve (AUC0-2 h; after breakfast liquid meal) change at Week
30 (end of treatment), and 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) at selected
times. P-values were calculated between treatment groups for all parameters analysed.
Results: At Week 30, the percentage of patients with PPG < 7.8 mmol/L and < 10 mmol/L
at 0.5, 1 and 2 h post standardized liquid meal (Table) was greater in the iGlarLixi
group versus the iGlar group; this difference was greatest at later time points post-meal.
Compared with iGlar, treatment with iGlarLixi also resulted in a significantly greater
reduction in PPG AUC0-2 h (Figure). SMPG profiles at time points after three daily
meals showed larger percentages of iGlarLixi patients at the PPG targets compared
with iGlar, with the difference decreasing post-dinner (Table) (Fig. 1).

Conclusion: In patients with T2D uncontrolled with basal insulin in LixiLan-L, iGlarLixi
demonstrated greater postprandial glycaemic control compared with iGlar, with consistently
more patients reaching PPG targets after all meals throughout the day.

Background: For the treatment of DM and prevention of acute and chronic complications,
it is necessary that the patient achieve good glycemic control, which is possible
through self-care actions that are based on changes in lifestyle and correct use of
medications and insulins.
Objective: To describe self-care practices in the use of NPH and Regular Insulins
in an ambulatory of the Unified Health System of Goiânia-GO-Brazil.
Methods: Cross-sectional study with type 2 diabetic patients. Data from nursing consultation
sheets were collected during the period from October 2015 to March 2016. Patients
whose insulin therapy data were complete were included. The data were analyzed in
STATA 12.0, using descriptive statistics: means, absolute and relative frequency.
The project was approved in the CEP of the HC/UFG.
Results: From 107 DM2 patients taking insulin, 57% were female and 46% female, with
a mean age of 56 years (± 11.3). As for comorbidities, 64.7% were hypertensive, 41%
had dyslipidemias, 18% had thyroid diseases. The mean values of fasting, postprandial
and glycated hemoglobin were respectively 219 mg/dl, 303 mg/dl and 9.8%. As for the
use of insulin 80% applied without help and 17% needed another person, being mostly
elderly. As for sites, 45.9% apply only in one place, being: 16.7% in the arm, 30.0%
in the abdomen, 13% in the legs and 1% in the gluteus. In addition, 86.4% applied
cold insulin and 35.4% kept it in the refrigerator door, 21.5% reused needles 1 to
2 days and 71.8% discarded them in household trash.
Conclusion: The results showed that some care taken by diabetics is not consistent
with the recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes (SBD, 2014) and the
Ministry of Health (BRASIL, 2013). Despite the evolution of the practices regarding
insulin therapy, practices such as material reuse, lack of rotation, inadequate preservation
and disposal are still frequent. The health services need to invest in permanent education
of professionals and actions to manage matters that allow better treatment to users.

Introduction: Pregestational diabetes has been recognized as a risk factor for adverse
pregnancy results. Our objective was to evaluate maternal outcomes in women with pregestational
diabetes, either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Methods: We analyzed 220 women, 85 (39%) with type 1 diabetes and 135 (61%) with type
2, attended in a specialized prenatal care facility. Preeclampsia and maternal hospital
admission were the outcomes; type and duration of diabetes and maternal characteristics
were studied as risk factors. Simple and multiple Poisson robust regression were performed
with SPPS version 18; results are expressed as relative risk and 95% confidence interval
(RR, 95% CI, p).
Results: The Table presents baseline maternal characteristics according to the type
of diabetes. Preeclampsia was diagnosed in 38.1% of type 1 women and in 24.8% of type
2 women (p = 0.056); hospital admission occurred in 78.3% of type 1 women and in 67.2%
of type 2 women (p = 0.111), with median duration of 14 days [interquartile interval
8-24]. Multivariable regression models showed that risk for preeclampsia was associated
with gestational age at booking (1.032, 1.003-1.062, p = 0.033), duration of diabetes
(1.032, 1.001–1.064, p = 0.041) and chronic hypertension (2.100, 1.274–3.462, p = 0.004).
Previous diagnosis of preeclampsia and type of diabetes did not impact in current
preeclampsia risk. Hospital admission was associated with duration of diabetes (1.018,
1.006–1.030, p = 0.003), gestational age at booking (1.010, 1.001–1.020, p = 0.042)
and the initial A1c test (1.110, 1.056–1.167, p < 0.001). Each 1% increase in the
A1c test conferred a 10% higher risk of hospital admission; each year of diabetes
conferred a 3% increased risk for preeclampsia and a 2% risk for hospital admission.
Pregestational body mass index was found to be a protective factor for hospital admission
(0.981, 0.965-0.998, p = 0.025): each lower kg/m2 reduced 2% the risk.
Conclusion: Preeclampsia and hospital admission were frequent events in pregnancies
with previous diabetes and were related to duration, but not to the type of diabetes.
Hospital admission was mainly related to poor glycemic control; and preeclampsia,
to previous maternal hypertension. Management strategies for preeclampsia prevention
and intensive metabolic control should be firmly encouraged in this population (Fig.
1).

Clinical case: AFG, 34 years old, with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) for 21 years
(prepregnancy HbA1c:8%), systemic arterial hypertension, proliferative diabetic retinopathy,
neovascular glaucoma (left amaurosis), previous kidney transplanted, currentlly with
ClCr:80 ml/min and proteinuria:630 mg/24 h, 2 previous stillbirths (32 and 34 weeks).
In a new pregnancy, patient developed a hypertensive peak and decreased CrCl (39 ml/min),
without infection or other disorders, evolving with the pregnancy interruption at
27 weeks due to pre-eclampsia (PE), worsening renal failure and fetal distress. Newborn
with Apgar 6/7 and weight:838 grams. Weight gain in pregnancy:5 kg (BMI pre:23). Made
use of: Insulins (Detemir/Lispro); Methyldopa, hydralazine, Tracolimus and Azathioprine,
with poor adherence to glycemic control. After birth, the patient presented clinical
improvement; was discharged in 7 days. Fetal echocardiogram: mild pulmonary valve
stenosis, dilatation of the RV outflow tract; USG morphological: normal. The newborn
had infectious and pulmonary complications and underwent retinopexy (retinopathy of
prematurity). Discharge in 4 months. Ambulatory follow-up with favorable evolution.
Tests of the foot, ear, heart and tongue, in addition to echocardiography: normal.
USG transfontanela: moderate extra-axial fluid collection.
Discussion: In transplanted pregnant women, hypertension and DM increase the risk
of prematurity, restricted intrauterine growth (IUGR) and graft loss. Data indicate
a mean gestational age (GI) of 35 weeks for birth, with 54% of premature newborns,
a fact attributed to maternal complications (worsening renal function and PE), as
well as our patient. In addition, there is a higher rate of small newborns for GI.
Other evidence suggests a 6 times increase in perinatal mortality. As for immunosuppressants,
there are few reports. Tacrolimus appears safe (prevalence of congenital malformations:
4-5%, general population: 3-4%). Azathioprine (AZA) rarely courses with neonatal leukopenia,
more common when maternal leukocytes < 7500/mm3. There is evidence of IUGR but not
of abortion or stillbirth. Data suggest risk of cardiac malformations (irregular use
of AZA + graft rejection?).
Final comments: Renal transplantation improved fertility and viability of pregnancies
in these patients. However,data suggest a high risk for mother and children and their
follow-up should be rigorous regarding the use of immunosuppressants and maternal
and fetal monitoring.

Background: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in elderly populations
and may be associated with other changes due to cellular aging. Therefore, the use
of drugs in this age group is very common. In addition to the adverse effects of drugs,
pharmaceutical excipients used to manufacture drug formulations cannot be neglected,
despite being considered therapeutically inert.
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of the pharmaceutical
excipient lactose in formulations of oral medications used by elderly patients to
treat diabetes, as well as the most frequently associated comorbidities. Materials
and
Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was carried out at the research laboratory
of a private university in São Paulo, Brazil. The study was approved by the Institution‘s
Research Ethics Committee, approval number 14610. Sociodemographic and pharmacological
information was collected from 245 elderly people. Drugs indicated for the treatment
of diabetes and the main patient comorbidities were identified. The lactose component
in the various formulations was identified using therapeutic reference sources, mainly
the Electronic Bulletin of the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA).
Results: Participants were aged 60-92 years; 227 patients (92%) used some type of
medication regularly (1 or more), of which 80% were women. The most prevalent age
groups were 60-65 years (30%) and 66-70 years (26%); 11% of participants were over
80 years old. We identified the most frequently used therapeutic classes of medicines;
the presence of lactose in the drugs used by participants was as follows: hypoglycemic
agents (lactose in 56%); antihypertensive agents (lactose in 87%); diuretics (lactose
in 95%), and antidyslipidemic agents (lactose in 100%). Many elderly patients in the
study had concomitant use of 2 or more lactose-containing medications of different
therapeutic classes.
Conclusions: Lactose is used as an inert ingredient in the manufacture of tablets
and capsules. Extremely sensitive patients can develop gastrointestinal symptoms even
with the small amounts found in oral medications, especially with polypharmacotherapy,
which is common in the elderly population. These symptoms may improve with lactase
enzyme supplementation, but it is important to evaluate the medications in use and
to check for undesirable symptoms. If possible, certain formulations should be replaced
or discontinued in cases of very sensitive elderly patients.

Introduction: While periodontal disease (PD) may precipitate the onset of Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus (DM2), some systemic factors and habits may increase the severity of PD,
such as HIV, smoking and diabetes itself, triggering a vicious circle.
Objectives: The present study aimed to verify the prevalence and intensity of PD in
adult diabetic patients.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between March and December/2016,
based on the oral conditions of 179 adult diabetic patients, who received periodontal
examination. The prevalence and severity of PD were estimated from the CPITN (periodontal
community need for treatment index), according to the WHO methodology.
Results: The mean age of participants was 57.5 years, the majority of them male (65%),
non-white ethnicity (82.7%) and mean duration of DM 11.3 ± 3.4 years. Regarding PD,
47% presented mild CPITN (scores 1 and 2), while 21.2% presented moderate to severe
CPITN (scores 3 and 4). Other findings of the oral examination were: 33% gingival
bleeding and purging after probing, 52% bacterial plaque, 17.3% ketonic breath, 19%
salivary flow reduction, 14% thrush, 8.4% gingival retraction with root exposition,
6,1% oral candidiasis and 5% angular cheilitis.
Conclusion: For the sample studied, the prevalence and severity of PD were high, providing
important epidemiological elements for the implementation of actions aimed at the
prevention and treatment of PD among diabetic patients. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: No funding
was obtained from pharmaceutical companies to carry out this study. All authors were
involved in the data collection and analysis. DISCLOSURE: The authors declare no conflict
of interest (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global public health problem and cause disabilities,
premature death, great ecoomical burden due to high costs to achieve control and to
treat its complications. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are the most frequent chronic
complications and preced amputations when associated with infection in many developing
countries.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of amputations in patients with DFU associated
with infection treated at a reference clinical service at SUS-DF.
Method: Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, based on physical and electronic
medical records (TrakCare®) of patients treated at the Neuropathy and Diabetic Foot
Clinic (NDFC) of the Endocrinology Unit (ENDOUnit) and Research Center—FEPECS-SES-DF
at Hospital Regional de Taguatinga (HRT), from June 2014 to June 2016. Type 1 (DM1)
and Type 2 (DM2) diabetic patients of any age, gender or diagnosis time with DFU,
which had tissue culture and antibiogram, were included in the study. For statistical
analysis the SPSS® 17.0 program was used for all test applied (statistically significant
ρ < 0.05).
Results: Final sample had 107 patients, 63.6% male, 92.5% had DM2, diagnosis duration
15.9 ± 8.3 and age 60.6 ± 12 years. DFU were classified as neuropathic (80.4%), neuroischemic
(17.8%) and only 1.9% ischemic; 43% were associated with osteomyelitis. Prior to the
study period, 61.7% patients reported DFU history. Of these, 36.4% had a history of
amputation, one major (above ankle) and 38 minor (below ankle). In the study period,
35.5% patients underwent amputation as an outcome of DFU, 34 of which were minor amputations
and four were major amputations. No surgical procedure was registred in 55.1% patients;
in 6.5%, surgical debridement was performed; and angioplasty was main treatment for
only 4.6%, two of these with neuroischemic DFU underwent minor amputation. There was
a positive correlation between patients submitted to surgical procedure and previous
antibiotic therapy (ρ = 0.04).
Conclusions: The findings of this study draw the attention of international similar
profile for amputation (male, ≥ 60 years old, long DM2 duration), both minimum surgical
intervention and angioplasty. Neuropathy is the main cause of DFU and the combination
of surgical and previous antibiotic use is the most appropriate approach. The results
warn the policy makers to the need of improving and standardizing the access and intervention
in order to prevent and control diabetic foot complications.

Introduction: Low testosterone levels have been reported in men with type 2 diabetes.
Androgen deficiency was also associated with metabolic syndrome. Background: To assess
the prevalence of androgen deficiency in diabetic patients followed at the Endocrinology
Clinic of Hospital do Servidor Publico Municipal (São Paulo) and to correlate cardiovascular
risk factors with hypogonadism.
Methods: Cross-sectional study that included men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Total
testosterone assay was performed to determine the prevalence of androgen deficiency.
This prevalence was correlated with age, BMI, hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Results: The prevalence of androgen deficiency in the 45 analysed patients was 26.7%.
This prevalence increased with advancing age (22.2, 23.8 and 33.3% in the age groups
30–45, 46–60 and 61–70 years, respectively) and with increasing BMI (11.1, 28.6, 40
and 50% in patients with normal BMI/overweight, obesity grade 1, grade 2 and grade
3, respectively). It was also higher in hypertensive patients compared to non-hypertensive
(34.3% x 0) and in those with low HDL-c compared to normal HDL-c (33.3 x 19%). There
was no difference in prevalence in relation to triglycerides.
Discussion: The prevalence of androgen deficiency found in the study is compatible
with that described in the literature. There are several proposed mechanisms for the
association between secondary male hypogonadism and diabetes, with obesity and insulin
resistance being the central components. The relationship between obesity and androgen
deficiency occurs through complex mechanisms, such as the high activity of the aromatase
enzyme in visceral adipocytes, the resistance of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to
leptin and the action of inflammatory mediators. Regarding insulin resistance, it
was shown that its action on hypothalamic neurons contributes to the release of GnRH.
Therefore, the state of resistance with consequent reduction of its signaling in these
neurons may play a role in this pathophysiology. In addition to its association with
obesity and glycemia, studies have shown an association between hypogonadism and hypertension
and dyslipidemia, just as shown in our study, except for triglycerides, which could
be justified by the fact that half of the patients in the study were on statins.
Conclusion: The study confirmed the high prevalence of androgen deficiency in this
population and its association with cardiovascular risk factors (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6).

Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) is caused by the autoimmune destruction
of pancreatic beta cells causing deficiency in insulin production. DM1 may be associated
with the presence of autoantibodies from other autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto‘s
thyroiditis and celiac disease. Thyroid autoimmunity is the most commonly related
to DM1, being more prevalent in females. World studies reveal different prevalence
values of anti-thyroid antibodies in DM1 patients, varying from 3 to 50%.
Objectives: Te objective wwas to evaluate the incidence of thyroid autoimmunity and
antibodies to celiac disease in patients with DM1.
Methods: We reviewed 135 medical records of patients diagnosed with DM1. The following
data were collected: the presence of anti-thyroid antiperoxidase (anti-TPO), antithyroglobulin
(anti-TG) antibodies, the presence of anti-TSH antibodies in those with a diagnosis
of hyperthyroidism and also transglutaminase IgA and antiendomysium antibodies in
the investigation of celiac disease. Thyroid function in patients with autoimmunity
was also analyzed and the sex distribution of them.
Results: There were 36 patients (26.66%) with one or more autoantibody for the diseases
studied. Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis was diagnosed in 31 patients (22.96%), distributed
in 32.25% of males and 67.7% of females. In patients with Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis,
54.83% had hypothyroidism and 51.61% were in euthyroidism. Graves‘disease was observed
in 3 patients (2.22%), 100% female. The presence of antibodies to celiac disease was
found in 2 patients (1.48%), one female and one male.
Conclusion: The incidence of autoimmune diseases in our study is consistent with worldwide
research. The most frequent association was between DM1 and Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis.

Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at greater risk of having
depression, including those diagnosed during childhood and adolescence. Some studies
have suggested that these patients might have worsening of the metabolic control associated
to poor adherence.
Aim: Evaluate the prevalence of depression among T2DM patients diagnosed in childhood
and adolescence and its relation to metabolic control.
Methods: The study enrolled 57 T2DM patients from a cohort of 121 patients diagnosed
with T2DM in the pediatric age group, regularly followed by an interdisciplinary team,
including psychological and psychiatric support. The diagnosis of depression was performed
by the psychiatrist. A cross-sectional study was conducted, clinical and laboratory
(Glycated hemoglobin-HbA1c, Immunoturbidimetry, reference normal value: 4.8-5.9%)
data were obtained from chart reviews. Body mass index (BMI) was defined according
to World Health Organization (WHO) or National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
adjusted to age and gender.
Results: The mean age at T2DM diagnosis was 14.1 ± 3.2 years, current age: 21.4 ± 5.7 years
and the average duration of diabetes: 7.3 years (IQR: 3.6–9.0 years), with predominance
in females (70.9%, n = 41). The mean HbA1c was 7.9 ± 1.9% (female: 8.1 ± 1.7% vs.
male 7.5 ± 2.5%, p = 0.219). The mean BMI was 30.7 ± 5.3 kg/m2, with 52.2% showing
obesity and 40.4% overweight. The prevalence of depression in our sample was 29.8%
(17/57), with 64.7% (11/17) being female. Patients with depression had slightly higher
HbA1c values than those without depression (8.6 ± 1.9% vs. 7.7 ± 1.9%, p = 0.546),
but without statistical significance. However, these differences were more evident
in the age group > 18 years of age (9.1 ± 1.8% (n = 13) vs. 6.9 ± 1.4% (n = 4), p = 0.06).
No other differences were found between the groups.
Conclusion: The prevalence of depression in young patients with T2DM was high in our
sample, reaching almost 30.0% and was predominantly observed in overweight or obese
patients and in those > 18 years of age.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disturbs that has the
presence of hyperglycemia. Mostly of people with diabetes (PwD), appears to have the
type 2 and are above 40 years old. Nowadays, it is estimated that there are 415 million
PwD around the world. The greater part of them are in developing countries. In 2016,
in Brazil, DM prevalence was estimated over 9.4% of the population (14.3 million people).
Thus, since DM can bring a lot of chronic conditions and high cost of healthcare system,
it is important to know its prevalence to provide better knowledge, diagnostic and
prevention. Our target is to verify the prevalence of DM in the local population in
a period of 3 years.
Methods: The information were collected for 3 years in health events held in places
with a huge circulation of people in the city of São Paulo. In these events, medical
students measured arterial blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC) and capillary blood glucose (BG), as well as data about comorbidities and drugs.
These people came by free will, and after the data collection, were oriented about
physical activity, weight adequacy, self-medication and diseases’ screening. A MD
supervised all these activities. The collected data was stored and compared with IDF
diagnostic criteria for improved glucose tolerance (IGT), considering that the last
meal referred by the individuals was comparable to an OGTT (IGT if BG ≥ 150 mg/dl
2 h after meal) and the prevalence was calculated accordingly to specific treatment
for DM.
Results/discussion: In three years, we have obtained 838 entries (CI = 95%). The prevalence
average in three years was of 10.45% (women) and 12.45% (men), 11.45% for both. Detailed
results can be seen in Table 1 and 2 and Graphic 1. We had satisfactory representation
in the sample. Women with diabetes had higher prevalence of overweight and higher
prevalence in comparison with men with diabetes. Data variation may indicate that
MDs and medical students gave variable importance to DM, concerning about medical
education and professionals prepare. There is a chance that the individuals did not
know how to inform about their diseases, once the responsible one for the patients’
instruction is the MD, this reinforces the concern. The prevalence above national
average is a factor that must be taken account for the basic attention in the city,
as well as for the healthcare expenditures and new screening and control strategies
(Fig. 1).

Background: According to the American Diabetes Association (2017), the finding of
random glycemia ≥ 200 mg/dL associated with the presence of symptoms of hyperglycemia
or in hyperglycemic crisis is diagnostic criterion for Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Due
to the low complexity to perform capillary glucose at random, low cost and rapid diagnosis,
this method, with high reproducibility. Can be used efficiently for the diagnosis
of DM in populations. This research was approved by the Committee of Ethics in Research
CEP/UFS, according to Norms and Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings—Res
CNS 196/96, II.
Methods: The objective of this study was to present the data from the random capillary
glycemia survey performed in the population attending the free fair in the city of
Lagarto/SE and the relationship with the classic symptoms of the diabetes. This is
an observational study. Data were collected between October 2016 and May 2017 using
two units of glucose meter and tapes, and a questionnaire was applied to hyperglycemic
symptoms and risk factors for type 2 DM. The researchers were trained to ensure reproducibility
of the study. Data were collected from 108 people, chosen with the sole criterion
of being 18 years or older.
Results: Regarding glycemic values, 96 (88%) were below 200 mg/dL, 10 (9%) were above
this value and 2 (1%) were not measured. The sample ranged from 78 mg/dl to 354 mg/dl,
with a mean of 131.29 mg/dl. When asked about classic symptoms, 33 (30%) claimed polyuria,
32 (29%) reported polydipsia, 20 (18%) reported unexplained weight loss, and 13 (21%)
reported having polyphagia. Considering those with glycemia ≥ 200 mg/dl, only 1 denied
all symptoms. Among those with glycemia above 200 mg/dL, 6 (60%) denied the previous
diagnosis of DM, and were instructed to seek the health service.
Conclusion: Our sample presented a prevalence of 12% (14 respondents). Among the 6
participants who presented altered glycemic values and who did not have a previous
diagnosis of DM, polyuria and polyphagia were the most reported symptoms, reported
by 4 (66.6%) people. Considering the importance of early diagnosis of the disease,
screening practices such as these are feasible alternatives (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a public health problem.
A considerable increase of 34% in the number of individuals with the disease has been
observed in recent years, this fact is associated with the increase of comorbidities
such as diabetes mellitus (DM) responsible to causes diabetic nephropathy, which is
reported as the main cause of CKD. Worldwide it is estimated that DM is present in
50% of the population with CKD. In Brazil, the estimative is lower, being 27%.
Objective: To know the prevalence of DM in the population of chronic kidney patients
undergoing hemodialysis treatment at a dialysis clinic in Curitiba, PR.
Methods: This is a descriptive observational study with patients with CKD undergoing
hemodialysis treatment at a dialysis clinic in Curitiba, PR. The sample was identified
through the age and gender of the patients and comorbidities were obtained through
the subjects‘medical records. The survey of the data occurred on the month of July
2017.
Results: There were evaluated 153 patients undergoing hemodialysis, with 46% (n = 71)
of female and 54% (n = 82) males, mean age 57 ± 14 years. Diabetes mellitus was identified
as a single comorbidity in 12% (n = 7) of patients and associated with other comorbidities
such as systemic arterial hypertension, congestive heart failure and dyslipidemias
in 86% (n = 49) of the patients. Regarding gender, prevalence of 54% (n = 30) and
46% (n = 26) of DM as comorbidity associated with CKD was found in men and women,
respectively.
Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus was present in the hemodialysis population with a prevalence
higher than the Brazilian one. Alternatives for promotion and prevention of health
should be adopted to prevent the increase of the frequency of DM in the Brazilian
population.

Introduction: In Brazil the prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is 11.6 million
cases, being that 3.2 million do not diagnosed and approximately 25% of patients with
pre-DM2 will develop DM2 in 3–5 years. Obesity is the main risk factor for both diseases.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of DM2 and pre-DM2 and the type of treatment carried
out, in the first assessment of obese patients candidates for bariatric surgery.
Method: A cross-sectional analysis of data of 243 obese patients with indication of
bariatric surgery of the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic of the Hospital Santa Marcelina,
the survey occurred between January/2014 and November/2016. We evaluated the information
regarding the DM2, dyslipidemia, hypertension and smoking provided by patients, as
well as fasting blood glucose and HbA1C of the first consultation. We consider with
pre-DM2 patients with fasting glycemia ≥ 100 mg/dL and/or glycosylated hemoglobin ≥ 5.7%.
Results: After the analysis of 243 medical records, it was observed that 38% of patients
reported the diagnosis of DM2 and 32% denied be DM2 patients, but they were bearers
of pre-DM2 and knew not of comorbidity. In relation to the patients with DM2, 86.8%
were female. The average ± standard deviation, minimum value and maximum value were:
age (44.8 ± 11.0; 18–72 years), BMI (46.55 ± 7.0; 3571.48 kg/m2), 58.4% possessed
HbA1c < 7%. In relation to the treatment of DM2: 79% wore metformin, 20.4% used metformin
and NPH insulin, and 23.6% wore only NPH insulin. Regarding the coexistence of diseases:
61.7% reported SAH, 31.3% related dyslipidemia. In relation to the consumption of
substances: 8.7% reported smoking.
Conclusion: The prevalence of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism is high in obese
patients candidates for bariatric surgery. There is an important association of comorbidities
such as hypertension and dyslipidemia to DM2, which potentiates the cardiovascular
risk in these patients. Because pre-DM2 be an asymptomatic disease, although already
associated with macro and microvascular changes, it is fundamental to the active search
with attainment of blood glucose and HbA1C throughout the obese patient.

Introduction: Among the consequences of diabetes mellitus (DM), diabetic neuropathy
is the most common complication presented by diabetic patients. Peripheral diabetic
neuropathy significantly increases patients‘morbidity and mortality, and current evidences
claim that better metabolic control relates to lower prevalence of this complication.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of diabetic neuropathy and to identify the
quality of glycemic control among diabetic patients assisted at the Endocrinology
clinic of a reference unit in Santarém-Pará.
Methods: The research was carried out at the Endocrinology clinic at a reference unit
in Santarém, Pará; data were collected by the researchers through a standardized form,
and patients were evaluated according to the Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and Neuropathic
Disability Score (NDS).
Results: Twenty-two patients were evaluated during the study; 64% were over 45 years
of age and 36% were below that age group; 64% of the sample comprised women and 36%
consisted of men; the prevalence of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in the population
studied was 41%; among patients with diabetic neuropathy, 77.8% had the diagnosis
of diabetes mellitus for more than 5 years; 66.7% of patients with diabetic neuropathy
had poor quality of their glycemic control, with blood glucose levels higher than
the current optimal target, whereas 44.3% presented irregular glycemic control, with
blood glucose levels checked less than 3 times a week.
Conclusion: Data collected through this research made possible to know the local sample
of the patients treated in the referred Endocrinology clinic, highlighting that most
of them do not have diabetic neuropathy. Thus, preventive measures, such as continuing
education to the patients and active search for early signs and symptoms of diabetic
neuropathy, must be reinforced in the service, to improve their quality of life, and
to avoid the evolution of complications from diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Gestational Diabetes mellitus (GDM) is considered the main metabolic
problem during pregnancy and puerperal period, and may represent the development of
diabetes mellitus type 2. It integrates one of the main risk factors for maternal
and fetal morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: Verify the prevalence of GDM in pregnancy of malformed newborns and identify
the risk factors.
Materials and methods: Multicenter study involving three sites, Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit of the Hospital Universitário de Londrina, Clinic of Children‘s Specialties/UEL
and Institute Londrinense of Education for Exceptional Children, with data collected
from January 2013 to April 2017. A group of 227 mothers with malformed newborns was
identified. By means of a questionnaire and analysis of medical records, pregnant
women who presented DMG were selected, it was collected information on possible risk
factors for this metabolic disorder and the main characteristics and malformations
of the newborns.
Results: Among the sample assessed, it was found 29 cases of Gestational Diabetes
mellitus (12.77%). The following possible risk factors were analysed: advanced maternal
age (41.38% ≥ 35 years); hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (20.68%); multiparity
(58.62%) and previous occurrence of abortion (27.58%). Considering that the GDM contributes
to changes in embryonic and fetal development, it was analyzed the main characteristics
of neonates malformations, being that: 34.48% were premature; 27.58% were small for
gestational age, mainly due to congenital malformations presented, and only 13.79%
were big for gestational age, characteristic of the GDM. Among the congenital malformations
were observed a greater number of neurological changes (44.82%), followed by cardiac
malformations (10.34%).
Conclusion: Early identification of risk factors associated with GDM is important
for a better diagnosis of the disease and to minimize fetal involvement by maternal
hyperglycemia.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is an important global health problem,
and 50% of patients are unaware of this pathology. People with undiagnosed and uncontrolled
T2DM and glucose intolerance (GI) are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and
have an increase on the length of hospital stay due to various diseases and long-term
morbidity and mortality. Many individuals only seek medical care in emergency situations,
which requires hospital admission, so this may represent as an opportunity to identify
patients without prior diagnosis or those with uncontrolled T2DM.
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of T2DM, glucose intolerance and stress hyperglycemia
in individuals hospitalized at the hospital Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericordia of
Sao Paulo (ISCMSP) during the first 72 h of admission.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of 89 inpatients admitted to Santa Casa
de São Paulo hospital from March to July 2017. Patients answered a questionnaire that
included information on age, schooling, comorbidities, symptoms of T2DM, medications,
risk factors for T2DM and anthropometric measures. Exclusion criteria were: anemia,
chronic renal disease stages IV and V, pregnant women and age under 18 years. Capillary
glycemia test, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum glycemia were performed.
Results: 27% of 89 patients were T2DM (95% CI from 5.3 to 48.7), and 41.7% of these
presented HbA1c > 7%. From those 65 patients who answered had no diabetes, 15.4% were
glucose intolerance (A1c 5.7-5.4%) and 3% were diabetic (A1c > 6.5%). Stress hyperglycemia
occurred in 3.0% of those 65 that referred no diabetes and 41.7% of those with previous
diabetes presented capillary glycemia > 180 mg/dl within the first 72 h in hospital.
Conclusion: The prevalence of our inpatients with diabetes is similar to other centers,
while undiagnosed diabetes patients prevalence is smaller. A1c measurement and capillary
glucose test at hospital admission were useful to identify patients with unknown diabetes
and patients at risk of stress hyperglycemia. Since the patients who presented stress
hyperglycemia were the same with undiagnosed diabetes, maybe capillary glucose test
could be used in the future as an easy and low cost screening test for diabetes and
patients at risk for stress hyperglycemia. At this moment we are increasing our sample
to perform this kind of analysis.

Introduction: Hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in
hospitalized patients. However, scarce information is available in the literature
about the prevalence of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus at admission in the hospital
emergency service.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of hospital hyperglycemia,
defined as glycemia ≥ 140 mg/dl, and diabetes mellitus at the admission in the emergency
service of a tertiary hospital.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records of May/2017.
Patient’s glycaemia were monitored using the point of care testing (POCT) Abbott Precision
PXP glucometer. The local Research Ethics Committee approved the study.
Results: In May/2017, 878 patients were evaluated in the emergency service, with a
mean age of 61.8 ± 20.7 years and 55.4% were women. Previous diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus was reported by 17.65% (n = 155) of the patients. In May/2017, 700 POCT were
performed in the hospital emergency service and hyperglycemia ≥ 140 mg/dl was observed
in 30.14% (n = 211) of the cases.
Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of hospital hyperglycemia and a relatively
high frequency of patients with diabetes mellitus admitted in the hospital emergency
service. Hospital hyperglycemia was observed in patients with and without previous
diagnosis of diabetes. The evaluation of glycaemia in the admission of patients in
the emergency service using POCT represented a fast, simple and effective strategy
in the detection of hyperglycemia. Thus, glycemic measurements at hospital admission
would be important for early detection and adequate management of hyperglycemia, increasing
patient safety and quality of care.

Background: Hypovitaminosis D is present among 62% of type-2 diabetic (DM-2) patients;
also, obesity is an independent risk factor to improve the prevalence of this vitamin
deficiency. Previous studies have shown that hypovitaminosis D is associated to worse
glycemic controls; however, the exact mechanism to justify this is still unknown.
Objective: Analyze the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in obese patients with and
without DM-2 candidates to bariatric surgery.
Methods: This research was approved by Hospital Santa Marcelina’s Ethics Board (n.
06581/17), and was a transversal study based on the review of 96 patient files from
Hospital Santa Marcelina’s Endocrinology service, who had their last medical appointments
between January/2011 and November/2016. These individuals were then split in two groups:
G1 (with DM-2) and G2 (without the disease). The mean level and standard-deviation
of age, HbA1c, fasting glucose, BMI, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum magnesium
and PTH were then calculated; hypovitaminosis D was considered when 25(OH)-Vitamin
D levels were < 30 ng/mL. Posteriorly, the mean values of both groups were compared
through Student’s T-Test (significance when p < 0,05).
Results: The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was 96.15% in G1 and 76.34% in G2. The
mean results and standard-deviation of the other analyzed parameters in G1 were: age
(40.8 ± 1.94 years), HbA1c (5.3% ± 0.03), fasting glucose (90.23 mg/dL ± 1.02), BMI
(46.06 kg/m2 ± 1.25), serum calcium (8.92 mg/dL ± 0.30), serum phosphorus (3.49 mg/dL ± 0.16),
serum magnesium (2.125 mg/dL ± 0.06), PTH (64.38 pg/mL ± 8.13) and 25(OH)-vitamin
D (21.63 ng/mL ± 1.11). In G2, these parameters were: age (49.4 ± 1.06 years), HbA1C
(8.2% ± 0.77), fasting glucose (142.8 mg/dL ± 5.7), BMI (45.42 kg/m2 ± 0.70), serum
calcium (10.34 mg/dL ± 1.10), serum phosphorus (3.32 mg/dL ± 0.10), serum magnesium
(1.963 mg/dL ± 0.041), PTH (56.83 pg/mL ± 5.23) and 25(OH)-vitamin D (22.94 ng/mL ± 0.72).
There were no significant differences between BMI, serum calcium, serum phosphorus,
PTH and 25(OH)-Vitamin D in both groups; however, G2 presented lower serum magnesium
and higher levels of age, HbA1c and fasting glucose.
Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in obese patients with
or without DM-2; however, the presence of this comorbity didn’t affect the prevalence
of this vitamin deficiency in both groups. The determinative factor to this deficiency
appears to the presence of obesity

Introduction: The prevalence of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and diabetes
mellitus among HIV-positive individuals has been growing significantly after the introduction
of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The clinical presentation of insulin resistance and
type 2 diabetes has been reported in 8–10% of cases, while hyperglycemia with diabetes
mellitus previously diagnosed or not, has occurred in 3–17% patients receiving antiretroviral
therapy (TARV).
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR), glucose intolerance
and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a sample of HIV-infected patients receiving TARV, followed
up in the outpatients’ clinic of the Institution.
Materials/methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted from February
2016 to March 2017, through the analysis of clinical and physical data, as well as
laboratory studies. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated by using the Quetelet
index, by dividing the weight (kg) by the height squared (m2).
Results: We evaluated 66 consecutive patients (77.3% male), with a mean age ranging
from 43 ± 9 years and average period receiving TARV was 37 ± 28 months (Table 1).
Diabetic patients presented higher levels of insulin resistance than non-diabetic
patients (HOMA-IR 3.95 vs. 3.44), but there was no statistical significance for this
data (p = 0.56). Advanced age (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.08) and average antiretroviral
treatment time (OR 1.02 95% CI 1–1.03) were positively correlated with T2D.
Conclusion: After the advent of HAART era, HIV-infection has been considered a chronic
disease and it‘s merging with other diseases more common and frequent in the 3rd age
as life expectancy increases in these patients. Among HIV-infected adults, overweight
and obesity were found to be associated with DM. Accordingly, additional studies to
explain the mechanism behind the association of many risk factors like diet, age,
family history, sedentarism are necessary to clarify the precise role that HIV-infection
and TARV in order to play this metabolic disorder. As the results obtained, screening
tests for diabetes may be appropriate be in the routine care of HIV-positive patients
(Fig. 1).

The increase in the population of older adults has led to a greater demand for senior
healthcare institutions, such as senior care centers at federal universities. Ageing
is accompanied by physiological changes, such as the loss of tone of the gastrointestinal
tract (GTI), leading to an increased risk for intestinal constipation. Indeed, this
condition is common in the older population and may stem from low fiber intake, low
fluid intake, the use of medications, previous surgeries and a sedentary lifestyle.
Objective: Analyze intestinal constipation, body mass index (BMI) and water intake
in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A retrospective study (period: 2011–2017) was conducted with 231 older adults
registered with the nutrition/diabetes outpatient clinic of the Senior Care Center
of the Federal University of Pernambuco in the city of Recife, Brazil. All participants
answered a questionnaire addressing water intake, functioning of the GIT, lifestyle
and demographic characteristics. BMI was calculated as weight/height2 (LIPSCHITZ,
1994).
Results: One hundred ninety older adults (83%) were female and 95% resided in urban
areas. Among the 56 participants (24.6%) who reported having constipation, the female
sex (82%) and overweight individuals (54%) predominated. With regard to hypoglycemic
agents, 35 (61%) of the constipated patients took metformin (1–3×/day) and 77% used
other medications (antihypertensive drugs, lipidlowering agents, T4). The most frequently
reported symptoms were the sensation of incomplete evacuation and the sensation of
anorectal obstruction or blockage. Low water intake (< 1.5 l/day) was found in 51%
of the individuals with constipation and only 16% performed physical activity ≥ 150 min/week
on alternating days.
Conclusions: The present data suggest a low prevalence rate of constipation in the
group of older adults with diabetes analyzed. This condition was more frequent among
women, overweight individuals, individuals with low water intake and those with a
sedentary lifestyle. There is a need for further studies involving this portion of
the population as well as the development of prevention protocols and nutritional
therapy for the treatment of constipation in this vulnerable group.

Introduction: In the last decade, the therapeutic arsenal for the treatment of type
2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has gained new options that can benefit the most diverse
profiles of patients. However, the delay in diagnosis and initiation of adequate therapy
are still frequent causes that contribute to the high mortality rates due to T2DM
complications. The DISCOVER Study is a global and prospective registry (NCT02322762),
conducted in 37 countries, including 14,178 patients with T2DM initiating a second
line of antidiabetic therapy.
Objective: The present study aimed to describe the main macro and microvascular complications
related to T2DM observed in Brazilian population.
Methods: From May 2015 to June 2016, a total of 444 individuals mainly referred by
primary services (81.8%) were nationwide included through 22 research sites.
Results: Brazilian patients showed a mean age of 58.6 ± 11.5 years, caucasian majority
(67.3%) and female (53.2%), diagnosed with T2DM for a mean of 6.6 years, through routine
exams (76.6% of cases). Clinical and laboratory measures showed medians of 7.9% (7.3–9.2)
for HbA1c, 160 mg/dL (134–200) for fasting glycemia, 10 mg/g (2.5–25) for albumin/creatinine,
30 kg/m2 (27–33) for body mass index, and 102 cm (95–109) for waist circumference.
Macrovascular complications reported by 15.3% of the individuals, being coronary artery
disease the main exponent (8.8% of the cases), also associated with previous percutaneous
coronary intervention (6.5%) and surgical revascularizations (1.4%), acute myocardial
infarction (5.4%), angina pectoris (4.5%, CCS 2 = 45%), and chronic heart failure
(4.3%, NYHA II = 57.9%). Stroke was reported as the second of these complications
(2.5%), predominantly ischemic (90.9%). On the other hand, the microvascular complications
related to T2DM were confirmed by 83.1% of the patients, including hypertension (63.7%),
dyslipidemia (55.9%), peripheral neuropathy (6.8%) and chronic kidney disease (6.5%).
Among the associated comorbidities, thyroid dysfunctions were reported by 18.9% and
depression by 16.7%.
Conclusions: Thus, in our population, the observed delay for the therapeutic optimization
in patients with T2DM seems strongly correlated with the high prevalence of macro
and microvascular complications evidenced.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) implies in several metabolic dysfunction, being
an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. Its prevalence has been growing
around the world; studies in developing countries points a varying prevalence between
12.3 and 42.7%, depending on the utilized criteria. Being a syndrome that is related
to chronic diseases and high mortality taxes, it is important to know MS prevalence
for effective prevention and therapeutic approach. Our target is to analyze the prevalence
of MS in the local population in a period of 3 years.
Methods: The data were collected between the years 2015 and 2017 in health events
held in places of great circulation of people in São Paulo city, Brazil. In such events,
medical students measured people‘s arterial blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI),
waist circumference (WC) and capillary blood glucose (BG), and collected information
about drugs and comorbidities. These people came by free will, and after the data
was collected, were oriented about weight adequacy, regular physical activities practices,
self-medication, and screening for non-communicable diseases (NCD). A MD supervised
all activities. The data was compared with the IDF diagnosis criteria: central obesity
(WC ≥ 94 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women or BMI > 30) and two or more of the following:
specific treatment for dyslipidemia (DLP); for high blood pressure (HBP); or for diabetes
mellitus (DM).
Results/discussion: In 3 years, we obtained 838 entries (CI = 95%). The average prevalence
of MS in these 3 years was 12.26% for women and 8.93% for men (10.59% for both genders).
Detailed results can be observed in Table 1 and in Graphs 1–4. The results indicate
a satisfactory representation of São Paulo’s population. The average WC and BMI above
recommended points toward a deficiency in the basic healthcare system. The variation
of the data in regards the prevalence of HBP, DM and DLP indicates that the healthcare
professionals gave variable importance to NCD rising concerns about medical education
and professional preparation. There is a possibility that the patients did not know
how to inform their NCD, and once the responsible one for the patients’ instruction
is the MD, the former concern cannot be dismissed. Even with the variation of the
collected data, MS prevalence was high and, therefore, the subject must be approached
more frequently, as new strategies to control and screen this condition must be developed

Tha article gols are describe the prevalence of microvascular complications and the
main associated risk factors in type 2 diabetics. It was a revision of patients medical
records attended in 2016. Main variables analyzed: presence of microvascular complications,
disease time, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin levels. The qui-square and t-student
test were used in the statistical analysis. In results, 81% with more than 50 years,
58% with altered glycated hemoglobin rate and 57% with more than 10 years of disease.
23% had retinopathy, 45% nephropathy, 18% neuropathy and 59% had none of these complications.
There was an association between altered glycated hemoglobin and the development of
nephropathy in 55.2%, as well as the presence of dyslipidemia and the development
of nephropathy. There was a significant association between the time of disease of
patients and the development of any of the microvascular complications. In the conclusions,
we saw microvascular complications are the major cause of morbidity in DM2 patients.
In our service, we found a higher prevalence of nephropathy, and confirmation that
patients with adequate hyperglycemia control and adequate follow-up presented a lower
risk of developing these complications (Figs. 1, 2).

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in adolescents represents a clinical challenge
related to lifestyle changes and obesity. Although still underdiagnosed, recent studies
suggest a significant annual increase in the incidence of T2DM in youth from different
ethnic groups. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM and to
investigate associated factors among Brazilian adolescents aged 12–17 years.
Methods: ERICA is a national school-based survey involving youth from cities with
more than 100,000 inhabitants in Brazil. Variables were assessed by questionnaire,
anthropometric measurements and blood samples. Blood samples were collected in schools
and then analyzed in a single laboratory. Fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and lipids
were evaluated. Prediabetes was defined by glucose levels 100–125 mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7–6.4%.
T2DM was defined by self-report (previous diagnosis), glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥ 6.5%
(previously undiagnosed diabetes). Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were
calculated and multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio
(OR) of having prediabetes or T2DM; 33 adolescents with previous diagnosis of type
1 diabetes were excluded from analysis.
Results: A total of 37,854 youth were included in this study; prevalence of prediabetes
and T2DM were 22.0% (95% CI 20.6–23.4), accounting for 1.46 million adolescents, and
3.2% (95% CI 2.9–3.6), accounting for 213.830 adolescents in the population group
of the same ages, respectively. The prevalence of prediabetes by fasting glucose criterion
only was 1.8%; prediabetes by HbA1c criterion only, 17.5%; prediabetes by a combination
of glucose + HbA1c criteria, 0.9%; previously diagnosed T2DM, 2.9%; and previously
undiagnosed T2DM, 0.3%. In the multivariate adjusted model, male sex (OR 1.38, 95%
CI 1.03–1.83), obesity (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.20–2.11) and total cholesterol ≥ 150 mg/dL
(OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.03–1.97) were associated with T2DM, while older age 16–17 years
(OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.47–0.98), having regular breakfast (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55–0.83)
and studying at rural area schools (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.36–0.74) were associated with
a decreased odds for T2DM.
Conclusions: The prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM is high among adolescents, which
highlights that T2DM has become a public health challenge even among youth in Brazil.
Priority interventions could be focused in boys, with obesity and who live in urban
areas.

Background: During the follow-up of patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC)
in our service it was noticed the presence of many cases of overweight and obesity
that may be related to the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MS). This is associated
to Type 2 Diabetes (DM2), increased cardiovascular risk and arterial hypertension,
in addition to the development of other tumors related to overweight.
Objective: The present study collected data about the prevalence of obesity, overweight
and DM2 in our outpatient series.
Methods: The medical charts of 104 patients undergoing follow-up in the CDT outpatient
clinic were evaluated, with 92 records used for analysis. Sex, age, Body Mass Index
(BMI) and presence of DM2 were observed.
Results: Of the 92 subjects, 75 (82%) were female. The results were [mean ± SD (median)]
age: 55 ± 12 (56.5) years; BMI: 30 ± 6 (29) kg/m2; 22 had DM2 (24%); 22 (24%) eutrophic;
39 (42%) obese; 31 (34%) overweight. The diagnosis of DM2 correlated with age (p < 0.05)
and BMI compatible with obesity and overweight (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Although the findings are consistent with common knowledge, increasing
weight and age raise the frequency of diabetes diagnosis, the high prevalence of diabetes
(24%) and overweight (76%) was astonishing. It is extremely important that weight
loss and maintenance strategies should be implemented in this medical service, considering
the high prevalence of obesity and diabetes in our series. This approach can postpone
diabetes diagnosis, improve its control and prevent the appearance of malignant neoplasms
related to overweight that compromise the good prognosis of these patients.

Similarly to Diabetes Mellitus (DM), hypovitaminosis D has become an epidemic in Brazil,
characterized as insufficiency when serum levels are lower than 30 ng/mL. The relationship
between insulin secretion and calcium ions modulation in the cytosol justifies the
likely association between poor glycemic control and vitamin D deficiency. The presence
of 1,25(OH) D favors proinsulin cleavage and subsequent insulin exocytosis, helping
the maintenance of glycemic indexes in suitable levels. This study aimed to determine
the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in patients previously diagnosed
with DM. This is a case–control study conducted in 69 patients seen at a diabetes
outpatient clinic between 2016 and 2018. Those who presented cardiovascular diseases,
hemophilia, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, thyroid and renal disorders
or took multivitamins in the past 6 months were excluded. We used a datasheet containing
identification, social-demographic, and clinical epidemiological data, laboratory
tests: 25 hydroxy vitamin D, PTH, calcium, phosphorus, blood glucose, Hemoglobin A1c
(HbA1c), and screening test for diabetic neuropathy. Collected data were stored and
analyzed using SPSS 14.0 software, through Chi square test using a 5% significance
level. We found 11.7% of vitamin D deficiency and 40% of vitamin D insufficiency.
90% (n = 54) of patients had T2DM and 10% (n = 6) had T1DM, however, there has not
been found a significance level between DM type and hypovitaminosis D (p = 0.389).
Regarding glycemic control, we found only 24.2% of ideal blood glucose control, and
there has not been found an association with vitamin D deficiency (p = 0.084). We
observed that vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent in women than men (56.7% of
patients), however, there has not been found a significance level for the association
(p = 0.067). We have not found an association with climacteric—57.7% (p = 0.575),
systemic arterial hypertension (SAH)—73.3% (p = 1.00), smoking—21.7% (p = 0.754),
alcohol consumption—25% (p = 0.756), and peripheral neuropathy—76.3% (0.654). We observed
that 66.7% of patients with vitamin D insufficiency presented obesity (p = 0.05).
Therefore, we observed high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency, SAH, climacteric
and peripheral neuropathy in patients with DM, and also a relationship between vitamin
D deficiency/insufficiency and obesity.

The warning of teh salt intake (WORLD HEALTH AND HEALTH ACTION) is a solution for
the prevention of human damage, and it is necessary to maintain adequate weight and
control fat as advocated by action. It is important that these nutritional care be
adopted from childhood and adolescence.
Objective: To alert and evaluate the educational level of children with regard to
renal impairment, identifying the risk factors as important.
Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study based on a thematic campaign in a children‘s
school in Marília-SP, Brazil. A total of 350 children were approached by means of
directed anamnesis. They were informed about the context of kidney diseases, and general
guidelines on changes in lifestyle. The research had 300 participants that quantified
on the dietary profile, self care, creatinine, family history of cardiovascular disease,
urine examination and importance of the initiative, being as answer options affirmation
(quantified), negation or annulment (test q2).
Results: In the sample, 97% had a habit of eating fast food, 26% ate more than 3 L
of water per day, 39% had a habit of eating salad, 90% practiced exercise, 89% do
not know what creatinine is, 44% have already had urine test I. 88% have a history
of hypertension, diabetes in the family and 34% of kidney disease. 79% of respondents
believe that they take care of their health. 98% of children considered an approach
as important.
Conclusions: Educational and preventive activities related to renal diseases with
children are feasible and of great epidemiological significance, because they are
feeding with high sodium intake and a greater part unknown of the malfunctions of
this conduct. Interventions indicate the adoption of a multidimensional model to incorporate
different levels of action, using and integrating resources.

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide and the number of
cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Health professionals, in general, are exposed
to a working environment with high levels of stress, with little time for themselves,
and make a few hours of sleep a day, an important risk factor for the development
of DM2.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for type 2 diabetes in the professional
health of the Hospital Santa Casa de Misericordia de São Paulo and medical students
of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa de São Paulo.
Methods: A total of 186 people for body mass index (BMI), as well as a questionnaire
for evaluation of sleep, physical activity, smoking, said diagnosis of hypertension
(HBP), dyslipidemia (DLP) and DM2. Statistical analysis was used t test for parametric
data, and Mann–Whitney test for nonparametric data with the SPSS program version 13.0,
p < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The average age was 32.5 ± 9.2 years, 67% of the female sex. Physical inactivity
was evidenced in 47.3% while smoking was seen in 8% of the participants. The average
time of sleep was 6.45 h and 53.8% sleep less than 7 h per day. The diagnosis referred
to in DM2 was 4.35%, hypertension in 11.5% and DLP in 8.5%. According to BMI, 24.7%
of the participants were diagnosed with 29% with obesity and overweight.
Conclusion: Although the prevalence of type 2 diabetes that is low compared to Brazilian
data, the prevalence of risk factors for type 2 diabetes was high. We note that more
than half of the evaluated participants is overweight, and 24. 7% already have obesity,
an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The average sleep time was less than
7 h per day and 53.8%% sleep less than recommended, adding another risk factor for
type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of smoking was lower than the Brazilian data, possibly
a positive result of anti-smoking campaigns. Our results can be used as justification
for implementing health promotion programs for health professionals who may be sicker
than the patients themselves.

Introduction: Worldwide, the number of people with Diabetes is around 422 million.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) represents a spectrum of heterogeneous patients (over
90% of diabetic population), occurring mainly in adults, however, at present, is commonly
found in children and adolescents. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) represents less
than 5% of diabetic people, with major incidence in pre-school children and adolescents.
Other types of DM are rare. Individually, DM is an important risk factor for Cardiovascular
Disease (CVD), however, the association with Systemic Hypertension (SH). Lipid Disorders
(LD), Obesity (OB) and Primary Hypothyroidism (PHT) increase the cardiovascular morbimortality
risk.
Objectives: To verify the prevalence of DM and associated diseases in patients attended
at the ambulatory of endocrinology.
Methods: Retrospective study, with review of patient’s files, attended at the Ambulatory
of Endocrinology, in a 3 month period, from May to July 2017. Associated diseases
(AD) are defined as SH, LD, OB and PHT.
Results: The analysis of 939 files has shown 693 patients with DM (73% of the total).
From the total number of patients with DM, 82.5% were T2DM (age 20–91 years) and 70.1%
were female. Association with SH was 74.3%, LD: 41.2%, OB: 25.7% and PHT: 21.1%. From
the total patients with DM, T1DM occurred in 7.6%, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults
(LADA): 1.9%, Pre-DM: 7.5%. The frequency of AD amongst T1DM, LADA and Pre-DM were
respectively: SH: 9.4, 7.7 and 59.6%; LD: 13.2, 15.4 and 44.2%; OB 5.7, 7.7 and 40.4%;
PHT: 7.5, 38.5 and 51.9%.
Discussion and conclusions: DM was the most prevalent disease at the Ambulatory of
Endocrinology. T2DM patients displayed high association with SH (74.3%) and LD (41.21%),
data consistent with WHO Global Reports on Diabetes, 2016. In the Pre-DM group, in
addition to the strong association with SH and LD, it was observed a higher percentage
of OB (40.4%) and PHT (51.9%). In Brazil, there are few population-based surveys to
detect the national prevalence of DM, highlighting the work of Malerbi and Franco,
1992, on the prevalence of DM in nine Brazilian capitals. Our data on LADA, in spite
of the small sample, were similar to statistics results of others, worldwide (Isomaar,
1999). SH, LD and OB occurred, in a similar way, in T1DM and LADA, but was less prevalent
than in T2DM. Association with PHT has predominated in LADA patients. Our results
confirm the relevance of DM as a public health issue, allowing the identification
of a range of AD for possible intervention, thus, contributing for national construction
of health public policies (Fig. 1).

Background: Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (DM1) is a disease that affects more than 542,000
children worldwide, with Brazil being the third largest prevalence. Diabetic Ketoacidosis
(CAD), on the other hand, is the most common and acute complication, responsible for
recurrent hospitalizations. In the pediatric age group, CAD is present both in the
original presentation of the DM1 and in situations of poor adherence to treatment
such as: omission of insulin, food transgression and irregular follow-up.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the causes of admissions
of pediatric patients with DM1 in order to improve the multidisciplinary approach.
Methods: Retrospective review of medical records collected through the unit‘s digital
platform. Filtered under 18 with DM1 hospitalized from December 2011 to May 2017,
totaling 38 patients.
Results: There were 72 hospitalizations, 47 (65%) female, with a mean age of 11 years,
of which 46 (63%) were older than 10 years. Twenty-five (34%) patients were hospitalized
at the time of opening DM1, of which 9 (36%) were with CAD. The other 16 (64%) were
for training and education in diabetes. In 9 (36%), infectious processes were identified
and in another 2 (8%) the hospitalization occurred after the psychotraumatic episode.
In the remaining 47 hospitalizations, 34 (47%) were recurrences, which 19 (55%) were
in CAD. Thirteen were patients with the diagnosis of DM1 already, of which 3 in CAD.
In these hospitalizations, 32 (68%) occurred due to poor adherence to treatment, including
insulin omission, food transgression, absenteeism and treatment withdrawal. In 12
(26%) hospitalizations, the infectious process was present and there were obstetric
issues in adolescents in 3 (6%).
Conclusions: With this survey, we identified one of the aggravating factors to the
therapeutic difficulty: adolescence. Particular attention should be paid to the adolescent
patient and we must emphasize the importance of intense family participation and supervision
at this stage. The high prevalence of CAD openings leads us to evaluate primary pediatric
follow-up as ineffective in identifying the signs and symptoms that predict CAD. This
team should be attentive and trained to avoid the incidence of this acute complication.
Bad adherence is still the greatest generator of acute complications of DM1 and with
this, we must focus our team in the approach in an ambulatory level of preventive
ways as well as therapeutics (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Obesity is an independent risk factor for type II diabetes and metabolic
syndrome (MS). Some obese individuals appear to have lower metabolic risk, being known
as metabolically healthy obese (MHOb). Criteria for identifying such groups are not
yet standardized [1, 2].
Objective: To characterize overweight adults regarding their metabolic profile using
different criteria.
Methods: The study was approved by Federal University of Juiz de Fora Ethics Board
(no 12345). A cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate overweight adults
of both genders. In order to characterize the MHOb and metabolically unhealthy obese
(MUOb), 3 criteria were used: Homeostasis Model Assessment Index (HOMA) (MHOb: ≤ 3,10;MUOb: > 3,10);
(MHOb: ≤ 2components; MUOb: ≥ 3components); Patterns of National Cholesterol Education
Program‘s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATPIII) for SM (MHOb: up to 2 components;
combination of the HOMA + ATPIII criteria). The lifestyle profile, anthropometric,
biochemical and food consumption were compared between MHOb and MUOb groups for each
criterion.
Results: It was evaluated a total of 63 individuals with a middle age of 40.1 ± 12.1 years,
of which 69.8% were female. As for body weight, 36.5% (n = 23) were overweight, 31.7%
(n = 20) obesity grade I, 17.5% (n = 11) obesity grade II and 14.3% (n = 9) obesity
grade III. It was observed that few were smokers (6.3%, n = 4) and had daily use of
alcoholic beverages (12.7%; n = 8), and most (54%) did not practice physical activity.
The frequency of MHOb was 73% (n = 46) by the HOMA criterion, 49.2% (n = 31) by the
ATPIII, and 79.4%(n = 50) using the HOMA + ATPIII. It was evidenced that the MHOb
when compared to the MUOb, practice physical activity for a longer time and have lower
values of BWI, glycemia, insulinemia and triglyceridemia, when using the HOMA criterion.
Already according to the ATPIII, besides BMI and lower triglyceridemia, the age, waist
circumference (WC) and dietary fiber intake were also lower in MHOb. Considering both
criteria, were evidenced lower values of BMI, WC, glycemia, insulinemia, triglycerides
and serum total cholesterol, as well as higher total lipid intake in the diet in MHOb.
Conclusion: The identification of MHOb individuals may vary according to the criterion.
In general, considering one or more of the criteria, MHOb exhibit lower BMI and WC,
and have fewer biochemical changes. However, these individuals also need nutritional
monitoring in order to avoid that these parameters change over time.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality, due to the
burden of suffering, disability, loss of productivity and premature death that it
causes, being one of the main public health problems in Brazil and one of the main
chronic diseases affecting the population, especially the elderly. Being a disease
of expressive and impactful epidemiology. On average, 23.9% of individuals with diabetes
have been hospitalized at least once. Being a group of metabolic diseases characterized
by hyperglycemia and associated with complications, dysfunctions and insufficiency
of several organs. The study presented hospitalizations and the amounts spent by the
municipality of Belo Horizonte from January 2008 to December 2016, to the care of
DM patients. The work developed is characterized as a longitudinal study, type of
descriptive, explanatory and quantitative research with a qualitative research approach
to the DATASUS database of MS, conducted in the city of Belo Horizonte. In addition,
the research intends to point out the role of the nursing team in the care of patients
with the disease and the importance of assistance`s quality. Diabetes Mellitus represents
a considerable economic burden for the individual and for society, especially when
not well controlled. DM hospitalizations in the city of Belo Horizonte were estimated
at 16,093 patients, representing 11.48% of hospitalizations, and 5.85% of deaths in
the state of Minas Gerais due to diabetes, with a total of 299 deaths. With an average
stay of 9.1 days. The cost of diabetes amounted to R$ 21,793,800.13, being spent R$
2,421,533.33 per year with the disease. The study points to some recommendations,
such as better monitoring of these patients by primary care, and considering that
educational programs can halve the number of hospitalizations, and that one of the
most emphasized characteristics of nurses during their training concerns their role
as educators, due to that, their importance in the patient’s education stands out.
In addition, investing in the updating of professionals since the severity of the
disease course is due to badly conducted actions. It is necessary to advance to the
reflection around the subject so that one can realize more and more a better understanding
in relation to the diabetic person and the great difficulty to maintain a good control
of the glycemic levels.

Abstract:
Background: Active smoking is the leading single cause of preventable disease and
death in the world and may play a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
This study aims to calculate the smoking load in diabetics and non-diabetics individuals
related to the value of measured blood glucose. This research was approved by the
Committee of Ethics in Research CEP/UFS, according to Norms and Guidelines for Research
Involving Human Beings—Res CNS 196/96, II.
Methods: Observational study, using a questionnaire directed to identify risk factors
for type 2 DM and the measurement of random capillary glycemia. The samples were taken
at the fair-free of the city of Lagarto/SE, individuals over the age of 18 years.
The smoking load was calculated by dividing the amount number of cigarettes consumed
daily by twenty and multiplying by the number of years of smoking.
Results: Regarding glycemic values, 96 (88%) were below 200 mg/dL, 10 (9%) were above
this value and 2 (1%) were not measured. The sample ranged from 78 to 354 mg/dL, with
average of 131.29 mg/dL. Among the 108 interviewees, 18 (16%) were active smokers
and 18 (16%) were former smokers, and 72 (66%) denied having smoked. When we consider
only current smokers, 13 (72%) are males, have mean age of 45.8 years, average glycemia
of 125.35 mg/dl and smoking load ranging between 0.05 and 45 years-pack, with average
of 12.84 years-pack. The ex-smokers, had similar gender division (50%), present a
average age of 51.1 years, average glycemia of 136.27 mg/dl and smoking load ranging
from 0.05 to 15 years-pack, with a mean of 81.45 years-pack. When comparing the findings
in diabetics and non-diabetics, we found a prevalence of smoking of 50% in diabetics
and 35% in non-diabetics. The average age of diabetics and smokers was 58.25 years,
the average mean glycemia was 192.75 mg/dl and the mean smoking load was 7.87 years-pack.
Among non-diabetics, the mean age was 47.2 years, the average glycemia was 119.15 mg/dl
and the smoking load was 11.39 years-pack.
Conclusion: Active smoking was 36% with a prevalence of 50% among diabetics. We found
higher values of capillary glucose and smoking load in diabetic smokers, compared
to smokers who did not have diabetes (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The presence of microalbuminuria, triggered by altered vascular permeability,
is a clear example of how diabetes affects the renal glomerulus very early. The passage
of molecules involved in the inflammatory and atherogenic process supports the observation
that microalbuminuria is associated with extrarenal vascular events, such as cardiac
and retinal.
Objectives: To determine the correlation between the presence of albuminuria and proliferative
diabetic retinopathy (RD) in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between June/15 and
November/16, and the presence of RD was determined by mapping the retina, classified
as: RD absent, nonproliferative, preproliferative and proliferative. The presence
of diabetic nephropathy was defined by the excretion of albumin in 24-h urine, classified
as normal (< 20 μg/min), micro (20–199 μg/min) and macroalbuminuria (> 200 μg/min).
Results: We studied 146 patients, mean age 62.5 years and mean duration of diabetes
12.3 ± 6.6 years. Regarding the presence of RD, it was observed: 48.6% without RD,
21.7% non-proliferative RD, 16.7% pre-proliferative RD and 13% RD proliferative. Among
the patients with proliferative ROP, it was found, through the statistical analysis,
that they were mostly males (66.7 vs. 45.8%, p < 0.01), older (63.9% ± 6 vs. 58.4 ± 7 years,
p < 0.01), with a longer time of diabetes (16.4 ± 4.3 vs. 11.8 ± 3.9, p < 0.01), with
worse (P < 0.005) and higher levels of LDL (132 ± 12.7 vs. 88 ± 14, p < 0.01), and
glycemic control (HbA1c 11.4 ± 2.3% vs. 9.3 ± 3.7%, p < 0.005)), as well as higher
levels of albuminuria [163 (11–1645) vs. 11 (5–258) μg/min]. In multiple logistic
regression analysis, proliferative RD was associated with the presence of microalbuminuria
[RR = 12.7 (1.4–27), p < 0.05], macroalbuminuria [RR = 6.4 (2.5–18); p < 0.05] and
age [RR = 0.88 (0.81–0.95), p < 0.01]. When glycemia and lipid levels were excluded
from the regression model, only microalbuminuria remained associated with proliferative
RD [RR = 7.6 (1.1–17.5), p = 0.04], while macroalbuminuria was associated with the
time of duration of DM2 (r = 0.64, p = 0.003) and uncontrolled hypertension (r = 0.61,
p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The results obtained in this study reiterate the main risk factors associated
with RD and indicate the need for a rigorous and systematic approach to RD in those
in which microalbuminuria is present. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: No funding was obtained from
pharmaceutical companies to carry out this study. All authors were involved in the
data collection and analysis (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease, if not monitored
properly it can cause numerous complications. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the
most common, but it is often or not diagnosed early nor is diagnosed. The DM can causes
deformity in the feet and predisposes to ulcers, which can cause diabetic foot with
high risk for amputation. DM is the cause of 70% of limb amputations, which could
be prevented with the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It is suggested
to evaluate the degree of neuropathy in diabetics by means of scores, to homogenize
the diagnosis, to quantify the prevalence and to promote preventive measures.
Objective: To identify factors related to the development of ulcers in lower limbs
and the proportion of diabetic neuropathy (ND) through a score in users attended at
a Basic Health Unit (BHU) in Northern Brazil.
Methods: It was carried out an interview and data collection of diabetic patients
attended at a UBS, for punctuation and qualification in the “Score of Neuropathic
Symptoms”, validated in the Portuguese language for evaluation of Diabetic Peripheral
Neuropathy.
Results: The age group was 56.3 ± 11.3 years; 44.4% were female and 55.5% were male;
88.8% living in urban areas and 11.1% in rural areas (Table 1). The study was approved
by the Ethics and Research Committee (Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa) (CEP) from UNIFAP,
with Postal Code/CEP number: 45141315.9.0000.0003 Table 1—Profile of the research
participants Table 2—Factors associated with the development of ulcers in lower limbs
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was found in almost all patients, and in 11.1%, there
were no symptoms for ND, 22.2% had mild ND, 55.5% had moderate ND and 11.1% had severe
ND (Table 3). Table 3—Result of “Neuropathic symptom score”
Conclusion: After evaluation of the data, it is verified that DM and associated SAH
increases and/or predispose patients to the risk of developing ulcers in the lower
limbs, making it difficult to heal due to lack of oxygenation in the limb, but metabolic
control may present acute changes that interfere in the evaluation of ND. Thus, it
is indicated the improvement of glycemic levels before a definitive diagnosis (Fig.
1).

Introduction: In collective health, education and communication are increasingly required
domains at different levels of practice, with special relevance in primary health
care, the importance of health promotion and disease prevention. There is a growing
effort to value and recognize the individual‘s experience and their conceptions around
diabetes to better approximate and understand the richness and subtleties of the issues
involved in the self-care and self-control of the diabetic patient.
Objective: To discuss the results obtained in the application of the Questionnaires:
Diabetes Self-care Activities (QAD), Diabetes Knowledge Scale (DKN-A) and Diabetes
Attitudes (ATT-19) in Primary Health Care unit of the city of Americana.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, in which 27 diabetic patients (18 women
and 9 men) from a Primary Health Care Unit of the city of Americana (SP) answered
the QAD and DKNA and ATT-19 questionnaires, respectively, self-care, knowledge about
diabetes and satisfaction with the disease. The data were evaluated through descriptive
analysis.
Results: In the QAD, 40% of the patients responded that they adhere to the diet at
least 5 days of the week; 40% have physical activity at least 3×/week; 66% take their
prescribed medications regularly and 51% examine their feet daily. In the questionnaire
about knowledge about diabetes, 74% had scores lower than 8, which means poor knowledge
about the disease. ATT-19 revealed that 92% of patients are unhappy living with the
disease.
Conclusion: Being a carrier of a chronic disease, for most people, generates dissatisfaction
and profoundly modifies the life of each one of them. In addition, despite advances
in the drug treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, there is still great misinformation about
the disease and its complications, especially in the low-income population and self-care
practices are still unsatisfactory. Therefore, self-care practices should be encouraged
because they are an essential part of diabetes care and allow the person with diabetes
to take control of their illness and manage their daily lives.

Introduction: Questionnaires and scales may be simple and useful tools to evaluate
different aspects related to diabetes and its complications.
Objective: To identify and describe questionnaires on diabetes cross-culturally adapted
and validated to Brazilian Portuguese.
Methods: Two researchers conducted independent searches at five different electronic
databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, SciELO, LiLACS and Web of Science. Manual search
in annals of national conferences was also conducted. We selected studies with methodology
of cross-cultural adaptation and validation for patients with any diabetes type at
any age in Brazil. After the full-text articles reading, the data related to psychometric
characteristics identified in each validation study [Cronbach‘s alpha (Cα)] were extracted.
A third researcher solved discrepancies between the two researchers.
Results: In the initial electronic databases search, 2159 articles were identified,
of which 128 were excluded based on duplicates; 2031 articles were then analyzed by
title/abstract, of which 41 were selected for full-text reading. Twenty-three studies,
and two additional abstracts identified through manual search, were included in this
systematic review, finalizing a sample of 25 studies containing a total of 27 instruments.
The kappa statistic used to test interrater reliability was 0.84. The included instruments
addressed topics related to adherence to treatment [n = 6, Cα = 0.71–0.79 for type
1 diabetes (T1D) and Cα = 0.63–0.84 for type 2 diabetes (T2D)], quality of life (n = 6,
Cα = 0.70–0.94 for T1D and Cα = 0.70–0.94 for T2D), diabetes knowledge (n = 3, Cα = 0.75–0.91
for T2D and Cα = 0.81 for health providers), hypoglycemia (n = 3, Cα = 0.73–0.84 for
T1D), self-efficacy (n = 3, αC = unavailable for T1D and Cα = 0.63–0.78 for T2D),
satisfaction with pharmaceutical services (n = 1, Cα unavailable, T2D), emotional
stress (n = 1, Cα unavailable, T2D), hope (n = 1, Cα = 0,83 for T2D), diabetes attitude
(n = 1, Cα = 0.91 for T2D), perception of disease severity (n = 1, Cα = 0.66 for T1D
and T2D) and risk of developing diabetes (n = 1, Cα unavailable, T2D).
Conclusion: This study assembles the questionnaires for patients with diabetes validated
to Brazilian Portuguese, which may facilitate the selection of the most appropriate
instrument for each interest domain in future research and clinical setting.

54 year old patient, male, previously hipertensive, asymptomatic, sought out an outpatient
Dermatology clinic in March 2017 with a complaint of skin lesions for 5 months. At
the dermatological clinical examination, papular, yellowish erythematous lesions were
found in the trunk and extensor region of the upper and lower limbs without pruritus
or pain (Fig. 1), with diagnostic hypotesis of eruptive xanthomas. Laboratory tests
were requested, and a result of triglycerides (TG) of more than 5000 mg/dl was obtained;
then the patient was referred to Endocrinology, when type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2)
was diagnosed and were initiated fenofibrate 200 mg, rosuvastatin 10 mg and metformin
500 mg twice daily, as well as guidelines dietary habits were made. Only 16 days after
drug and dietary introduction, there was an impressive reduction in TG levels to 622 mg/dl,
with HDL-C of 21 mg/dl. Clinical and laboratory follow-up showed normalization of
cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose levels (Table 1) in only 2 months, as well
as disappearance of all skin lesions. One of the complications of DM2 is dyslipidemia,
with a more common lipid profile of hypertriglyceridemia and reduction of HDL-C, which
could be observed in this patient. The ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk
in Diabetes) study, which tested the hypothesis of additional cardiovascular benefit
from the use of fenofibrate in combination with simvastatin, showed that there was
a tendency to benefit in the subgroup of patients with diabetic dyslipidemia, in whom
the primary outcomes were reduced by about 30% in the fenofibrate group compared to
placebo [1]. The greater need to decrease TG levels in these patients is, however,
due to the reduction of the risk of pancreatitis, and especially in patients with
TG above 500 mg/dl, the Brazilian Society of Diabetes (SBD) recommends the association
of fibrate-statins for this purpose [2]. This case shows a favorable evolution in
a short interval of treatment, with results that, if maintained, will reflect in reduction
of cardiovascular risk, as well as the toxic effects of dyslipidemia on the pancreatic
beta cells of this patient [3]. Outpatient follow-up is important for monitoring the
development of DM2 complications, as well as preventing the progression of those already
existing (Fig. 1).

Case presentation: EGS, female, 71 yo, housewife, was referred to urgent care in March
2014 with a history of episodes of mental confusion, time–space disorientation and
anterograde amnesia in the last year, associated with hypoglycemia, being treated
in the basic health system with glycoside solution. Six days before admission, there
was worsening of the symptoms, which have become refractory. She reported frequent
postprandial nausea and vomiting and weight loss of 17 kg in 1 year. She denied use
of antidiabetics oral drugs or insulin. At admission, hypoglycemia was confirmed.
In the background, she was followed up in oncology clinic for meningeal hemangiopericytoma
diagnosed in 1992, already with bone, liver and pelvic metastases, under treatment
with palliative chemotherapy, morphine, dipyrone and ondansetron. She denied history
of diabetes mellitus, but she had 2 siblings with diabetes mellitus. Laboratory tests
are described in Table 1. Treatment with fractional diet and prednisone 20 mg per
day, increased up to 40 mg per day, with improvement in hypoglycemia in outpatient
follow-up. In November of 2015 presented with heart failure, necessitating hospitalization
with renal complications and death.
Discussion: Hypoglycemia is a common clinical event in people with diabetes mellitus,
but very uncommon on non-diabetic. After rigorous anamnesis, hepatic, renal and adrenal
insufficiencies and the use of drugs potentially causing hypoglycemia should be excluded.
In this patient, the initial exams excluded organ dysfunctions and the critical sample
tests confirmed hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Because of the oncologic disease, a
non-pancreatic tumor with IGF-II acting as the cause of hypoglycemia was suspected.
The dosage of this hormone in the same initial critical sample revealed a very high
value (Table 2). IGF-II causes insulin-induced hypoglycemia, decreasing hepatic glucose
production and increasing its uptake in the skeletal muscle and also inhibiting secretion
of counter regulatory hormones such as glucagon and GH, making the individual even
more vulnerable. Final comment: Para neoplastic syndrome is one of the rarer causes
and graves of hypoglycemia. In cases of hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia, suspicion of
the action of IGF-II may develop, especially in patients with cancer disease. Informed
consent to publish had been obtained from the patient (Fig. 1).

Background: Management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is challenging, especially in children
and adolescents. However, good glycaemic control can prevent long term complications.
Insulin degludec (IDeg)is a basal insulin with improved PK/PD profile compared to
others basal insulins, a long half-life of ~ 25 h and a flat and stable blood glucose
lowering effect. IDeg also allows flexible dose administration. Insulin degludec is
approved for use in in children from 1 year old in Brazil.
Aims: The diabetes team at endocrinology office performed a clinical follow up of
T1D patients < 18 years switching from IDet, IGlar U100, NPH or continuous subcutaneous
insulin infusion (CSII) to IDeg to evaluate its clinical performance, using medical
interview and available measures.
Methods: Retrospective, open-label, single-arm, observational, clinical follow-up
of T1D patients < 18 years who switched to insulin degludec according to the following
indications: currently administrating basal insulin twice daily, not acceptable HbA1c,
repeated hypoglycaemic events and/or unstable glucose or difficult with fixed time
administration, in conjunct with professional judgment and patient/parents’ wishes.
Information about HbA1c, insulin dose, weight and frequency of hypoglycaemia (self-reported
by patients/parents) were collected in every consultant.
Results: In March 2017, data were available on nine T1D patients (5 males), with median
age of 12.67 (± 3.61) years. Median duration of diabetes was 4.94 (± 3.23) years.
Mean time to follow up was 6 months. One patient was using insulin glargine U100,
six insulin detemir, one NPH and one CSII (glulisine). All patients were using basal
insulin twice daily. Main reasons for switch were nocturnal hypoglycaemia (4/9) and
unstable glucose (4/9). Median HbA1c was 8.17% (± 0.80) before switch and 7.52% (± 0.70)
at 6 months after switch. Median basal insulin dose was 30.23 U (± 13.11)/0.61 U/kg
(± 0.16) before switch and 26 U (± 12.26)/0.51 U/kg (± 0.20). Body weight was 47.77 kg
(± 14.35) at baseline and 49.63 (± 13.28) kg. Nocturnal hypoglycaemia reduced, according
to patients and parents reports during the consultant. No others adverse events were
reported. Limitations: this is a non-randomized, observational follow-up study. Hypoglycaemia
was not accessed by questionnaire, only by reports. However, to our knowledge, it
is the first real world data in Brazilian children and adolescents using IDeg.
Conclusion: IDeg was effective and safe in the studied population.

This post hoc analysis of a patient population previously treated with basal insulin
(EDITION 2), investigated the clinical outcomes according to pre-breakfast SMPG level
achievement (protocol defined [SMPG < 100 mg/dL] or ADA recommendation [< 130 mg/dL]).
403 Gla-300-treated and 405 Gla-100-treated subjects were analyzed; mean age 57 and
58 years, 46 and 45% male, baseline A1c 8.3 and 8.2%, FPG 147 and 141 mg/dL, respectively.
Achievement of pre-breakfast SMPG, A1c change, proportion of subjects reaching A1c < 7.0%,
and hypoglycemia rates were assessed at 6 months. Comparable proportions of Gla-300
and Gla-100-treated subjects reached both SMPG levels, with greater A1c reduction
in those reaching SMPG levels in both treatment groups (Table). Across all hypoglycemia
definitions, event rates were generally lower in Gla-300-treated subjects reaching
SMPG < 130 mg/dL and those not reaching SMPG < 100 or < 130 mg/dL; event rates for
any nocturnal hypoglycemia were significantly lower in Gla-300-treated subjects regardless
of SMPG level achievement (Table). There were no differences in severe hypoglycemia
rates. Irrespective of pre-breakfast SMPG level achievement, comparable efficacy and
less hypoglycemia were observed with Gla-300 versus Gla-100 in this T2D population.

Background: GIP is an incretin hormone produced by k cells of the duodenum under the
presence of glucose and fat in the intestinal lumen and its main function is to stimulate
the release of postprandial insulin. In humans, plasma GIP concentrations increase
after food intake.
Objectives: To correlate the intestinal expression of the GIP gene and its plasma
levels with markers of glycemic homeostasis in obese patients with or without complete
remission of T2DM after 3 months of RYGB.
Methods: Intestinal biopsies were acquired through double balloon enteroscopy in 20
obese women with T2DM before and 3 months after RYGB, and submitted to transcriptomic
analysis by microarray technique and RT-qPCR. GIP and markers of glycemic homeostasis
were measured in blood, collected in the fasted state and after a standard liquid
diet feeding test. After 1 year of RYGB, patients were classified as responsive (R)
and nonresponsive (NR) to total remission of T2DM. Statistical analysis was performed
by: non-parametric tests, area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by trapezoidal
rule, correlation analyzes were done by Spearman correlation and association between
R and NR groups by Mann–Whitney exact test.
Results: After 3 months of RYGB, the fasting plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin,
glucagon, HbA1c and peptide C were reduced (p < 0.05). Of the 20 patients studied,
12 were classified as R. The gene that transcribes GIP significantly altered its expression
in two of the three intestinal segments evaluated (Table 1). In agreement with the
reduction of the GIP gene expression, their plasma concentrations decreased (p < 0.05)
after 3 months of RYGB in all the evaluated periods of the feeding test (Fig. 1).
The postoperative plasma AUC of GIP decreased (111452.86 vs. 82,406.77, p = 0.004)
in relation to the preoperative period; however, the analysis between groups showed
that the decrease in GIP was similar between R and NR (p > 0.05). No significant correlations
were found between plasma concentrations of reduced GIP and markers of glycemic homeostasis.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that the reduction of GIP gene expression and the reduction
of its plasma concentration has no correlation with the response to improvement of
T2DM after RYGB (Fig. 1).

Introduction: ADA recommends the development of technology-based interventions that
allies the promotion and prevention of the DM and its complications. Since such tools
may be more effective than usual care because they promote motivation and adherence
to treatment, a specific tool could be beneficial for persons with diabetic polyneuropathy.
This condition requires a continuous care and changes in lifestyle in order to maintain
the health of the feet and avoid late comorbidities. Specific exercises for feet and
ankles are effective in promoting the function and balance and can be facilitated
by a software developed for this purpose.
Aim: Elaborate and develop a software for persons with DM that personalizes the progression
of an exercise routine, designed to improve mobility and strength of foot and ankle.
Methods: A Diabetic Foot Guidance Software (SOPED) was created in its web and software
versions in the HTML, Javascript and PHP languages, that can be used in desktop and/or
mobile (Android or IOS). The selection and progression of the exercises are based
on gamification principles to stimulate the adherence and motivation.
Results: The software has three characteristics: (a) recommendations for foot care
and information about diabetes; (b) self-evaluation of the feet according to the main
occurrences of diabetes (calluses, cracks, deformities, tissue lesions), in which
a corresponding marker can be positioned on 5 standard foot images (lateral, medial,
posterior, plantar and dorsal incidences); and c) exercises for feet and ankles: muscle
strengthening, gain of range of motion and improvement of functionality. Each exercise
is defined as an average of 8 levels of progressive difficulty, which differs in the
number of sets and repetitions, body positions and materials used. The individual
progression is based on an algorithm that adjusts the volume of the training from
the evaluation of effort perceived by the patient through a visual scale. You can
keep, progress, or return at the exercise level. Patients are explicitly informed
of risk situations that may indicate infection, ulceration and injury, and are advised
to seek medical attention.
Conclusion: SOPED can be recommended by health professionals to facilitate self-monitoring
and self-care. It helps the patient to be independent in treatment, and has the main
benefit of progressing according to the possibilities of the patient himself, which
is a situation closer to a supervised therapy.

Introduction: Insulin therapy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) demands
a series of attributes for its correct execution.
Objectives: To evaluate the related aspects to the insulintherapy practice.
Methods: Descriptive, quantitative study, conducted from march to july 2017 in a Diabetes
Care Line (DCL) in Fortaleza-Ceará. Data were collected from nursing protocols related
to insulintherapy and its related aspects, according to the recommendations of the
Diabetes Brazilian Society. The study was approved by the Institution‘s Ethics and
Research Committee Nº. 1.956.803 e CAAE: 64549817.0.0000.5045.
Results: Among the 66 patients followed up, 92.4% (61) had DM type 2, 4.5% (3) DM
type 1 and 3.1% (2) maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Among patients who
used insulin, 42.4% (28) performed self-administration, while 57.6% (38) depended
on third parties for administration. The adequacy of packaging was observed in 51.5%
(34), transport in 50% (33) and compliance use with the expiration date after the
opening bottle (34). Hand hygiene was performed in 56.1% (37) and insulin bottles
asepsis with 70% alcohol in 39.4% (26). Appropriately homogenization of NPH insulin
bottles was performed in 45.4% (30) and the order of aspiration of insulins in 42.4%
(28). Correct dose graduation was performed in 50% (33) and angulation according to
needle size in 39.4% (26). Needle withdrawal time was respected in 43.9% (29). From
the ones that used insulin pens, the needle`s flow was correctly checked in Application
sites were adequated in 47.0% (31), 40.9% (27) were rotating and 56.1% (37) reused
syringes/needles. Lipohypertrophy was found in 4.5% (3). The disposal waste was correct
in
Conclusion: Although the patients were followed up at a DM specialized referral service
in Ceará, important errors were evidenced in related aspects to insulintherapy. Such
misconceptions compromise glycemic control and contribute to the unsatisfactory disease
progression. Thus, it is necessary to intensify the systematic patient’s follow-up
with nursing team to improve these practices (Figs. 1, 2)

Introduction: In patients with T2DM, the prevalence for cardiovascular disease is
increased two to four times when compared to the general population. It may be related
by the constant exposure to hyperglycemic states resulting from poor glycemic control,
causing damage to target tissues and organs, such as the myocardium.
Objective: To verify the relation of the capillary blood glucose levels on the decrease
of the recovery arterial pressure in type 2 diabetic patients, submitted to the ergometric
test.
Methods: Experimental study with a sample composed of 67 individuals of both sexes,
who were divided into four groups: Diabetic Group with Capillary blood glucose < 100 mg/dL
(GD < 100) n = 12, Group of Diabetics with Capillary blood glucose 100 (GD > 200)
n = 19 and Control Group (GC) n = 12, constituted by non-diabetic patients.
Results: Diabetics presented a percentage of 76.1% for hypertension and disease diagnosis
time 10.0 ± 2 years. The GD group > 200 mmHg showed an attenuated decrease in systolic
and diastolic blood pressure in relation to the other groups.
Conclusion: The results showed for this sample that high glycemic levels may be related
to BP attenuation during all stages of the exercise test. Thus an effective recovery
phase should be performed at the time of effort to minimize any type of clinical intercurrence
provided by post-effort hemodynamic slowing

Background: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which is the main endogenous inhibitor
of nitric oxide synthase, plays a critical role in the process of endothelial dysfunction.
We evaluated the association between high plasma ADMA levels in hypertensive patients
and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors, the development of type 2 diabetes
mellitus (DM) and the development of cardiovascular outcomes, including death.
Methods and results: We evaluated 191 hypertensive subjects who were stratified into
2 groups according to the median value of basal ADMA: those with high levels of plasma
ADMA (> 0.55 µmol/L) and low levels of plasma ADMA (≤ 0.55 µmol/L) who were prospectively
evaluated over 5.8 years. High ADMA levels were seen in subjects with higher weight,
body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, triglycerides, uric acid, and high-sensitivity
C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and lower levels of HDL-col and in type 2 diabetic patients.
There was an association between high plasma ADMA levels and the occurrence of cardiovascular
death. In a subgroup of hypertensive subjects free from metabolic syndrome (MS) and
DM at baseline, there was an association between high ADMA levels and the development
of type 2 DM.
Conclusions: Our study confirms the association of high plasma ADMA levels and the
presence of cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive subjects. It also suggests
the association of high plasma ADMA levels and the occurrence of cardiovascular death
in hypertensive subjects and the development of type 2 DM in a subgroup of hypertensive
subjects who are free from MS and DM at baseline (Figs. 1, 2, 3
4, 5).

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by autoimmune beta cells destruction,
which can lead to insulin deficiency. Diabetics of type 1 shall follow a plan based
on the use of insulin, shall have a healthy diet and shall do regular physical activities.
Through healthy eating it is possible to achieve a balance between food consumption,
metabolic needs and energy expenditure, promoting a better glycemic control.
Objective: To verify the relationship between diet and glycemic control of adolescents
with T1D.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed with 30 individuals with
T1D, aged between 10 and 16 years. The study evaluated anthropometric parameters (weight,
height and z-score BMI/I), food consumption—which was obtained through a 3 day food
diary and information from the last glycated hemoglobin were collected. Means and
standard deviation of the descriptive analyzes were made. Pearson’s correlation was
used to verify the correlation between all evaluated variables.
Results: According to the BMI-I z-score, 77% of the population was eutrophic, 20%
was overweight and 3% was obese. Only 27% of the adolescents consumed adequate quantity
of carbohydrate, and 50% consumed quantities above recommended level. Regarding protein,
60% of the adolescents had adequate consumption. The consumption of total lipids was
below recommended level in 53% of the analyzes and adequate in 40% of the analyzes.
From the total of samples, 53% had high energy consumption and only 14% presented
adequate energy consumption. Only 10% of the adolescents showed adequate intake for
the three macronutrients. The mean value of glycated hemoglobin was 9.49 ± 1.44 and
a positive correlation was observed between fat consumption and HbA1c (r = 0.638,
p = 0.001). No significant correlations were found for other variables.
Conclusion: The present study showed an inadequate food consumption by adolescents
with T1D, considering the consumption of the three macronutrients together, and energy
consumption was higher than expected. There was a positive correlation between fat
consumption and HbA1c. These findings suggest that strategies should be created to
promote healthy eating and continuous follow-up, favoring the link between health
professionals and patients, thus increasing adherence to prescribed treatments.
Ethics approval: The study was approved by Ethics Committee on Human Research of the
Hospital de Clínicas of the Federal University of Paraná, CAAE 44193214-7.0000.0096.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease which treatment includes
intensive insulin therapy and non-pharmacological therapies, both important tools
to reach adequate glycemic control for delay diabetes-related chronic complications.
Objective: To determine the relationship between glycemic control and the agreement
between glycemia obtained from meter and logbook.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted between May 2017 and June 2017
at a Universitary diabetes Center. Data were obtained from 159 patients, aged 27.0 ± 15.1 years
(52.2% males, 52.8% Caucasians) with a diabetes duration of 12.5 ± 9.7 years and a
follow-up duration of 12,4 ± 9,6 years. Information concerning some tasks of diabetes
management besides the receipt of supplies such as NPH and regular insulins, syringes,
needles, glucometers and strips for blood glucose monitoring received from Sistema
Único de Saúde (SUS) were obtained from a questionnaire during a clinic visit.
Results: From the pooled sample, 129 (81.1%) of the patients were from Rio de Janeiro
city and 30 (19,4%) from other ones cities close to Rio de Janeiro. The HbA1c level
was 9.4 ± 2.4%; 27 patients (16.6%) had HbA1c levels in good glycemic control and
51 (31.3%) had HbA1c levels greater than 10.0%. Adults patients had lower HbA1c (8.8 ± 2.0%)
than children (10.2 ± 2.8%) and adolescents (10.7 ± 2.6%), p < 0.001. A tendency for
higher HbA1c levels in non-White was noted, respectively 9.8 ± 2.5 vs 9.1 ± 2.5% (p = 0.07).
Overall, in 77 patients (48.4%) ambulatory monitoring glycemia could not be evaluated
because the meter was not available to check the results. Patients who carry their
meters with inconsistent glycemia logbook to the clinical visit (n = 17) had higher
HbA1c levels when compared to those who carry the meters with consistent data in glycemia
logbook (n = 65) (9.9 ± 2.9% × 9.2 ± 2.2%), p > 0.05. Multivariate analysis with glycemic
control as dependent variable showed that among all the demographic and clinical independent
variables, only duration of diabetes was significant [Odds ratio, 0.94; Confidence
Interval of 0.910–0.987, p < 0.05].
Conclusions: In our study the majority of patients attending a tertiary diabetes care
center did not reach good glycemic control. Although without statistical significance,
probably because our sample size, the agreement between glycemia obtained from meter
and logbook might have a influence upon glycemic control.

Introduction: Exercise test (ET) is indicated for asymptomatic diabetic patients,
especially those with other risk factors such as systemic arterial hypertension (SAH).
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between glycemic levels of type 2 diabetic
patients and blood pressure response during the ergometric test.
Method: Characterized as quasi experimental. Sixty individuals of both sexes were
assigned to the study: Group of Normoglycemics (NG) n = 12 that characterizes the
control group, Diabetic Group with Capillary Glycemia values < 100 mg/dL (GD < 100)
n = 12, Diabetic Group with Capillary Glycemia values of 100-200 mg/dL (GD 100–200)
n = 24, and the Group of Diabetics with Capillary Glycemia values > 200 mg/dL (GD > 200)
n = 19. The ergometric test (ET) was performed in the morning, in an environment with
a temperature controlled between 18 and 22 °C and relative humidity of approximately
60%. The ET treadmill with slope option was used in the ET and all electrocardiographic
records were obtained by the 12-lead system and recorded by the ErgoPC® program version
13.0. All subjects were submitted to ET using the modified Bruce protocol and were
adequately fed (90–120 min apart until ET) and under routine use of their medications.
Blood pressure was measured before and during the exercise test (ET). A test was performed
to analyze the normality of the data, where Kruskal–Wallis test was chosen for non-parametric
normality, adopting the level of significance of p ≤ 0.05.
Results: The 67 subjects presented a mean of 64.1 ± 1.9 years, of which 76.1% presented
a diagnosis of systemic arterial hypertension, were in a functional class I classification
in relation to METs reached. Table 1 shows the initial characteristics of the subjects
divided for each intervention group.
Conclusion: The main finding of the present study demonstrated that high capillary
glucose levels appear to be directly related to the exacerbated rise of BP during
all stages of the exercise test (Fig. 1).

Background: About 30% of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) develop autoimmune
thyroiditis, the most common subtype being Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis (HT). It is known
that women with T1DM have reduced fertility in relation to the general population.
However, literature reports regarding the reproductive life and gynecological characteristics
of women with T1DM are scarce and there is none comparing patients with type 1 diabetes
with and without hypothyroidism.
Methods: To determine gynecological and obstetric characteristics, infertility history
in T1DM women and to compare subgroups with and without hypothyroidism, we evaluated
110 T1DM women, aged 18–50 years, of which 31 had hypothyroidism and of these 67.7%
had HT. Infertility was defined as the absence of pregnancy in sexually active women
having regular unprotected intercourse with a male partner for an exposure period
of at least 12 months. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism was made through decreased
serum free thyroxine and elevated thyroid stimulating hormone levels. Autoimmune hypothyroidism
was defined when levels of anti-peroxidase or anti-thyroglobulin antibodies were elevated.
All women signed the free and informed consent form and answered a questionnaire about
gynecological and obstetric history. Their medical records were also reviewed. The
University Research Ethics Committee approved the study (number 49956915.3.0000.5404).
The Chi square test and Fisher‘s exact test were used to analyze categorical variables
and numerical variables were analyzed with the Mann–Whitney test. The level of significance
was 5%.
Results: Women with hypothyroidism presented a longer time since diagnosis of T1DM
(p = 0.02), higher body mass index (p = 0.03), required higher insulin dose (p = 0.01),
and had more frequent family history of hypothyroidism (p = 0.02). Regarding the gynecological
and obstetric characteristics, there was no significant difference between the groups
without and with hypothyroidism for age of menarche, age of onset of sexual life,
presence of irregular menstrual cycles or diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Mean of pregnancies were 1.3 and 1.4, live children were 0.9 and 1.0, respectively.
Frequency of fetal losses were 27.8% and 19.4% (p = 0.36), preterm deliveries 30.4
and 48.4%, (p = 0.07), infertility 20.2 and 35.5% (p = 0.09), in the groups without
and with hypothyroidism respectively.
Conclusions: Hypothyroidism was associated with longer duration of T1DM, higher insulin
doses and more frequent family history of thyroid dysfunction. Due to the low prevalence
of T1DM and even less of T1DM with associated hypothyroidism, the number of women
studied was a limiting factor for comparison between groups regarding gynecological
and obstetric characteristics. Nonetheless, we observed a trend towards higher rates
of infertility and premature births in women with T1DM and hypothyroidism (Fig. 1).

Introduction: The loss of muscle mass, as well as the increase in body fat, are factors
that are associated with the aging process, in addition to being related to impaired
levels of fasting glycemia and insulin resistance. On the other hand, studies with
resistance training have suggested that this type of exercise may be an effective
strategy for changes in body composition, including in elderly individuals. However,
it is still uncertain whether RT has an impact on fasting glycemia and insulin resistance
in older women.
Objective: To analyze the effect of 12 weeks of RT on fasting glycemia and insulin
resistance in elderly women.
Methods: Forty-three elderly women were randomly divided into: training group (TG,
n = 21), who underwent a RT program for 12 weeks (8 exercises, 3 × 10–15 maximal repetitions,
1–2 intervals min between exercises and weekly frequency of 3 times); and control
group (CG, n = 22), who remained without exercise for the same period. Blood samples
after 12 h of fasting and with a minimum interval of 72 h after the last training
session were performed for determination of fasting glucose and insulin. The homeostasis
evaluation model (HOMAIR) was also calculated. Evaluations were performed before and
after the intervention. This research was carried out in accordance with the Declaration
of Helsinki and was approved by the local University Ethics Committee (048/2012).
Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurements was used, followed
by Bonferroni post hoc, with statistical significance of 5%.
Results: At the baseline, the groups did not show differences between the analyzed
variables (TG, n = 21, 72.0 ± 6.3 years, BMI = 26.8 ± 4.7 kg/m2 vs. CG, n = 22; 69.3 ± 4.7 years,
BMI = 26.7 ± 3.9 kg/m2, P > 0.05). However, after 12 weeks of intervention only the
TG showed improvements in the insulin resistance measured by the HOMA-IR index (TG:
pre = 2.7 ± 1.0, post 2.0 ± 0.9 * vs. CG: pre (P < 0.001), as well as in fasting glucose
(TG: pre = 108.2 ± 8.2, post = 86.1 ± 9, 3 * § vs. CG: pre = 100.8 ± 8.7, post = 101.2 ± 8.2,
P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Twelve weeks of RT improved insulin resistance and fasting glucose in
elderly women, suggesting that TR can be indicated not only for the improvement of
physical fitness parameters but also for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular
risk factors.

Background: Semaglutide, a GLP-1 analog in development for once-weekly subcutaneous
treatment of T2D, demonstrated superior HbA1c and body weight reductions vs. comparators
across the SUSTAIN 1-5 phase 3a clinical trials. We now report a post hoc analysis
of these trials evaluating the proportion of subjects who achieved a composite endpoint
of both ≥ 1% HbA1c reduction and ≥ 5% weight loss.
Methods: SUSTAIN 1–5 evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-weekly semaglutide
(0.5 and 1.0 mg) vs. comparators (placebo, sitagliptin, insulin glargine, exenatide
extended release, or placebo + basal insulin) in subjects with T2D.
Results and discussion: The proportion of subjects achieving both ≥ 1% HbA1c reduction
and ≥ 5% weight loss was greater with semaglutide 0.5 mg (25–35%) and 1.0 mg (38–56%)
vs. comparators (2–13%; p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). The proportion of subjects
achieving this combined endpoint was also greater with semaglutide 1.0 mg vs. 0.5 mg
(p < 0.0001 for SUSTAIN 2, 4 and 5; p = 0.17 for SUSTAIN 1), suggesting a dose-dependent
effect. In all five trials, severe or BG-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia events
were fewer or similar with semaglutide vs. comparators. Semaglutide was well tolerated,
with a safety profile similar to that of other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Conclusion: With semaglutide, significantly more subjects achieved the clinically
meaningful composite endpoint of ≥ 1% HbA1c reduction and ≥ 5% weight loss.

Case presentation: It is estimated that 70% of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(DM2) have Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH), and the nonmedication treatment of
the two pathologies includes diet and physical exercise. It has been shown that physical
exercise acts in the improvement of insulin sensitivity, systolic blood pressure (SBP)
and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), in a chronic and acute way. Therefore, this study
investigated the effects of the strength training on blood pressure and blood glucose
of a type 2 diabetic patient with hypertension. This research was characterized as
an evaluative case study. The subject was submitted to two sessions of strength training
on different intensities, moderated (60% of 10RM) and high intensity (90% of 10RM).
The blood pressure and blood glucose were measured before the sessions and up to 60 min
after the sessions.
Discussion: According to the analyzed data, after the high-intensity strength training
session the SBP and DBP showed reductions during the 60 min evaluation and blood glucose
presented reduction after 60 min of the intervention.
Final remarks: This case study concludes that a single high intensity resistance training
session caused hypotension of up to 60 min after exercise on the blood pressure of
a type 2 diabetic patient who has hypertension. As well as, it was also able to produce
reductions in blood glucose, 60 min after an intervention. Informed consent to publish
had been obtained from the patient.

Background: Changes in glycemia are metabolic abnormalities more common in pregnancy,
and inadequate treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to greater morbidity and
mortality for both mother and fetus.
Objective: To know the reality of the patients attended at the service, as well as
the perinatal outcomes, allowing to establish new routines of pregnancy follow-up,
aiming to reduce complications and costs.
Methods: A retrospective observational study of the medical records of pregnant women
diagnosed with diabetes in gestation (GDM) followed at the outpatient clinic of Endocrinology
and Obesity in the Gestation of HC-FMRP-USP, in the year 2015.
Results: 142 patients had a diagnosis of GDM; 11% were hypertensive and 49.3% were
obese pregestation; 45.8% had a family history of DM and 52.1% had previous GDM. Variables
on average ± standard deviation: age 33.2 years ± 9.1, pre-pregnancy BMI 31.5 kg/m
2 ± 7.6, BMI at the end of gestation 35.6 kg/m 2 ± 7.3, weight gain of 11.8 kg ± 12.7
some women had less wheight at the end of the gestation than before getting pregnant;
43% used insulin, with a total pre-delivery dose of 42.1UI/d (31.5UI NPH/10.6UI regular),
with 0.46UI/kg/d. About gestational complications: 13.4% preterm labor, 20.4% polyhydramnios,
10.6% premature chorioamniorrexis, 4.9% pre-eclampsia, and no eclampsia. About delivery:
51.3% of cesarean deliveries, mean gestational age was 38.2 ± 1.7 week (SD + 1.7),
prepartumcapilary glycaemia of 92.5 mg% and postpartum 111.6 mg%. About newborns,
87.3% had cephalic presentation; mean Apgar score 8.1 and 9.3 at the 1st and 5th min,
respectively; 53.3% male; average birth weight of 3320 g (1250–5170 g); 6% SGA, 73.3%
AIG and 20% GIG. The women performed 75 g OGTT postpartum in Basic Health Unit.
Conclusions: Epidemiological studies, such as Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy
Outcomes (HAPO), showed that the risks of maternal/fetal adverse effects and unfavorable
neonatal outcomes increased as a function of maternal glycemia between 24 and 28 weeks.
Previous conception obesity, GDM history, family history of DM, and more advanced
maternal age seem to have been the major risk factors associated with the development
of GDM. According to the ADA, women with a history of GDM present a considerable increase
in the risk of developing DM. The large number of cesarean deliveries can be explained
by the high percentages of SAH, obesity, older age and GIG fetuses of pregnant women
(Fig. 1).

Risk classification of developing diabetic foot associated with identification of
the sociodemographic and clinical profile of aged individuals provide health professionals
with subsidies for proper clinical handling, focused on strategies of health education,
metabolic control, and prevention of complications. We aimed to identify the risk
association of development of diabetic foot with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics
of aged individuals with diabetes mellitus. This is a cross-sectional study developed
in the Primary Health Care Service of a city from Ceará, Brazil, including a sample
of 254 aged individuals that had been randomly chosen through a proportional stratified
sampling. We collected data from August 2016 to January 2017 through a form that contains
sociodemographic (sex, age, income, occupation, educational level, family arrangement)
and clinical (diabetes diagnosis time, drug treatment, smoking habit, alcoholism,
physical activity practice, comorbidities and complications) variables. Then, we collected
data from the evaluation and tracking form of neuropathic pain, loss of protective
sensitivity (LPS) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) for basic care from the Brazilian
Society of Diabetes for assessing the feet and classifying the risk (level 0—no risk;
level 1—LPS and/or deformities; level 2—PAD with associated or non-associated LPS;
level 3—amputations, previous ulcers). We obtained sociodemographic and clinical data
by means of interviews, whereas risk classification data were obtained using physical
examination following the techniques recommended by Brazilian and foreign guidelines
with the instruments: 10 g Semmes–Weinstein monofilament, 128 Hz diapason, and 8 MHz
portable manual doppler sonar. We analyzed data using R Statistical Software and adopted
a statistical significance (p < 0.05) for the bivariate association. We found statistical
significance between the risk and the variables age, family income, diabetes time,
drug treatment, smoking habit, osteo-locomotor comorbidity, and cerebrovascular complications.
In conclusion, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics might significantly influence
the risk of diabetic foot and, therefore, health professionals should implement feet
evaluation, risk classification and systematic follow-up of aged individuals with
diabetes in the primary health care service.

Introduction: Lipodystrophies are the most frequent complications found at the sites
of insulin application, dividing into: lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy. Lipodystrophies
can alter the absorption time of insulin or its action, leading to hyperglycemia,
unexplained hypoglycemia, increased glycemic variability and the need to increase
daily insulin doses, interfering with the optimal metabolic control of diabetes.
Purpose: To identify the possible factors associated with the occurrence of lipodystrophies
at the insulin application sites.
Method: A multicenter observational study carried out in 06 reference centers for
diabetes care in the Unified Health System, located in São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de
Janeiro, Curitiba, Jundiaí and Porto Alegre. The patients answered a specific questionnaire
about self-administered insulin practices, including questions regarding the complications
and their possible factors of risk.
Results: The sample consisted of 140 patients who had been insulinized for more than
6 months, of both sexes, from 6 to 75 years of age and were self-administered insulin,
with type 1 and 2 diabetes. Most adult and young patients (65%) had used insulin for
more than 5 years. 71,7% of adult patients applied 2–3 daily doses of insulin, 50%
used 21–61 syringes/needles or more per month, proving the practice of reusing syringes.
The rotation technique was considered adequate in only 28.3% of adults. Lipodystrophy
was found in 20% of adults and only 10% of adults had correct insulin selfinjection
technique.65% of the youths applied 4 daily doses of insulin and 55%% used up to 10
syringes/needles per month, proving the practice of reusing syringes also among young
people. The rotation technique was considered inadequate in 30% of young people and
10% of them did not perfom it. Lipodystrophy was found in 50% of the young and 40%
of the youngsters presented a partially correct technique.
Conclusion: The possible risk factors for the development of lipodystrophies were:
the time of insulin use, the reuse of needles/syringes, the lack of rotation or inadequate
rotation and the incorrect technique of applying insulin, demonstrating the need for
urgent educational strategies, emphasizing the importance of preventing complications
at the insulin application sites and their impact on metabolic control.
Ethics approval: The study was approved by UNIFESP’s Ethics Board, approval number
1698/11. Informed consent was obtained from all patients this study.

Abstract: There are few data related specifically to the identification of risk factors
for post transplant Diabetes Mellitus (PTDM) in liver recipients.
Objectives: To verify the risk factors for PTDM in patients submitted to liver transplantation
in the population of a tertiary reference service.
Methods: Revision of medical records of patients submitted to liver transplantation
from 1990 to 2016, all older than 18 years. A total of 152 patients were included.
Data for sex, age, BMI, pre and post transplantation DM, transplantation reason, presence
of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), HbA1c, hypertension, dyslipidemia, use of immunosuppressants
(tacrolimus, mycophenolate, prednisone, everolimus, cyclosporine, azathioprine or
sirolimus), hepatitis B, hepatitis C (HepC), and history of transplant rejection were
analyzed. Comparisons were done with Chi square tests and analysis of independent
risk factors with multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Of all patients analyzed, 76.5% were men. The median age was 59 years, transplant
time 6 years, BMI 27.53 kg/m2 and diagnosis of DMPT 2 years after the transplant.
Among the 152 patients, 43.2% had diagnosis of DM, 27% of which PTDM. As for comorbidities,
48.3% presented hypertension, 32.2% hypercholesterolemia and 31.5% hypertriglyceridemia.
The major cause of transplantation was hepatitis C virus (55%), followed by alcohol
(32.9%). Additionally, 40.3% were diagnosed with HCC before liver transplantation.
The most commonly used drugs after liver transplantation were Tacrolimus (78.4%),
Mycophenolate (62.8%), Everolimus (24.5%) and prednisone (PDN) (23.8%). The clinical
characteristics of the sample of patients studied are summarized in Tables 1.1 and
1.2. There was a predominance of males in patients with PTDM compared to those without
PTDM (87.5% vs 72.2%, p = 0.05), higher frequency of HepC (72.5% vs 42.1%, p = 0.001)
and of tacrolimus use (92.5% vs 72.9%, p = 0.01). the maximum dose of tacrolimus was
higher in patients with PTDM (p < 0.001). The results are summarized in Table 2. The
independent risk factors for PTDM were HepC (OR = 3.8, 95% CI 1.3–10.9, p = 0.013),
presence of HCC (OR = 3.7, 95% CI 1.2–11 5, p = 0.025), the use of Tacrolimus (OR = 6.3,
95% CI 1.2–32.5, p = 0.029) and PDN (OR = 7.2, 95% CI 2.4–21, 8, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Among all immunosuppressants, Tacrolimus and PDN had a greater influence
on the risk of PTDM. HepC and presence of HCC before liver transplantation are also
risk factors for PTDM, which may warrant further vigilance of these patients. If possible,
PDN and tacrolimus should be avoided in patients at risk for PTDM (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains the main form of diagnosis of type
1 diabetes mellitus (TDM1) in Brazil. DKA is also a frequent cause of hospitalization
during the course of TDM1, and not rarely, of TDM2. Previous studies show that DKA
can impact the survival of these patients. In our country we often find patients with
multiple hospitalizations for DKA.
Objective: To identify risk factors for mortality during and after hospital discharge
in patients with DKA in a Brazilian university hospital.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study evaluating DKA hospitalizations in the
period between 2012 and 2016. Patients were identified by the International Classification
of Diseases (CID-10). Data from electronic records were analyzed and ADA-2017 and
SBD-2017 criteria for DKA diagnosis and classification were used. In the case of more
than one hospitalization, the last episode of DKA was considered for analysis. The
survival status was collected by telephone contact. The results are presented as x ± dp
and percentiles. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests (SPSS-24) were used
and p < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: 207 patients [68.6% DM1; 26.6% DM2 and 4.6% other types], age: 36.7 ± 18.7 years
at the time of admission and diagnosis time of DM 6 years. There were 305 hospitalizations
with an average duration of 5.6 days. Number of hospitalizations per patient were
1 in 80.2% (166/207), 2 in 12.6% (26/207) and 3 or more in 7.2% (15/207). The severity
of DKA was: 9.7% (20/207) mild, 30% (62/207) moderate and 60.4% (125/207) severe.
Mortality during hospitalization was 2.41% (5/207). Post-discharge mortality within
this 5 year period was 11.8% (17/143), among the 69% (143/207) of patients that were
found by telephone contact. The survival in the DM1 group was 94% and in the DM2,
69.7%. Three variables had a significant association with mortality: the patient‘s
age at diagnosis of DKA, durations of diabetes and number of hospitalizations, with
an OR of 1.058 (1.006–1.113; p = 0.03), 1.121 (1.033–1.218; p = 0.007) and 1.425 (1.105–1.807,
p = 0.006). The impact of the number of hospitalizations on mortality was 40% at 16 months
in the group with more than 1 episode of DKA.
Conclusion: Patient‘s age at diagnosis of DKA, duration of illness and number of hospitalizations
for DKA were risk factors for mortality in adults with DM.

Background: Hypothalamic dysregulation of the energy homeostasis is critical for the
obesity development. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor
that plays a role in the regulation of glucose and energy homeostasis. Previously,
it was reported that HIF-1 can regulate energy homeostasis in the hypothalamus.
Aim: Our main purpose was to analyze whether a high-fat diet (HFD) changes the expression
of HIF-1 in the hypothalamus. We also downregulated HIF-1 in the arcuate nucleus (ARC)
to evaluate body composition changes and metabolic alterations.
Materials and Methods: C57BL/6 mice (CEUA 4125-1), 8-week old, were fed on chow or
HFD, and the expression of HIF-1 proteins was measured by RT-qPCR and western blot;
their distribution was evaluated by immunofluorescence. HIF-1β in ARC was inibited
using shRNA lentiviral particles and the animals were grouped under chow or HFD for
14 days. Body mass and food intake were evaluated throughout the experiments.
Results: HIF-1 proteins were mainly localized in the ARC, were colocalized with microglia
and glial cell markers, and also with POMC neurons. The mRNA expression of HIF-1 proteins
significantly decreased after 3 and 7 days of HFD; however, the protein levels of
HIF-1α were significantly higher after 7, 14 and 28 days of HFD consumption, with
a decreased in the VHL protein (E3ligase), indicating an increase in HIF-1α stabilization.
Under HFD, the downregulation of HIF-1β promoted an increase in body mass compared
with control animals, without changes in food intake; however, these animals decreased
their basal metabolic rate. The inflammatory markers in hypothalamus were higher in
animals with inhibition of HIF-1β. The downregulation of HIF-1β in mice fed on HFD
induced a decrease in the brown adipose tissue temperature and a decrease in the UCP-1
protein expression. Regarding metabolic parameters, the downregulation of HIF-1β induced
intolerance to glucose and lipid accumulation in the liver, together with changes
in the expression of enzymes involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism
in the liver.
Conclusion: Concluding, HIF-1 proteins were elevated under HFD resulting from an increase
in HIF-1α stabilization. The dysregulation of hypothalamic HIF-1 complex associated
with the consumption of HFD can contribute to the increase in body mass as a result
of an impairment of energy expenditure (decrease in metabolic rate and in thermogenesis),
likely associated with development of metabolic disorders. Supported by FAPESP, 2015/10078-2

Introduction: Sarcopenia has been discussed as a possible predictor of mortality in
the elderly, but there are few studies evaluating the relationship between mortality
and sarcopenia in the population of patients with type 2 Diabetes Melittus (T2DM),
especially after hospital discharge.
Objective: To verify the mortality predictors within 1 year after hospital discharge
in elderly patients with and without T2DM.
Methodology: A prospective study that included hospitalized patients at the Hospital
de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) between July 2015 and December 2016, over 60 years
and with up to 48 h of hospitalization in a ward unit. The follow-up was done by phone
and by consulting the medical records after 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after discharge.
To evaluate sarcopenia, a 3-m gait test was performed, such as Time Up and Go, muscle
strength was measured by handgrip using an analog dynamometer, and muscle mass was
measured across the largest calf circumference region. Patients with reduced gait
(< 0.8 m/s), with low muscle strength by the dynamometer (< 20 kgf for women and < 30 kgf
for men) and lesser calf circumference (< 32 cm) were considered sarcopenic. This
project was approved by the HCPA Ethics Committee under number 150,068.
Results: 610 patients were included, mean age 71.31 ± 6.45 of which 51% were women,
82% were Caucasian. The group was stratified according to the presence of diabetes,
306 (51%) patients had T2DM. There were no differences between the groups regarding
gender, schooling, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Patients with
T2DM had lower muscle strength (19.62 ± 7.53 vs. 21.19 ± 7.31 p = 0.009), were slower
in the walking test (0.54 m/s (0.46–0.66) vs. 0.60 (0.48–0.75) p < 0.001) than those
without T2DM, 58.4% being classified as sarcopenics. The mortality rate among T2DM
was 45.3%. In the multivariate analysis after adjustment for age, sex, physical activity
and presence of DM2, only the presence of sarcopenia maintained an association with
post-high mortality (OR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.037–2.62 p = 0.034).
Conclusion: Patients with T2DM had more sarcopenia than individuals without T2DM.
But the presence of sarcopenia was the predictor of all-cause mortality in elderlys
after 1 year of hospital discharge, regardless of the presence of T2DM.

Background: This research arises to Federal University in São Paulo, in the graduated
extension program: Cuidar-te, during the campaign of the National Association of Attention
in Diabetes (ANAD).
Objective: To evaluate the proportion of previously diagnosed and undiagnosed DM patients
with signs of neuropathy and vasculopathy, deformities and ulcerations, and to describe
sociodemographic variables, habits, clinical history and self-care/health education.
Methods: Epidemiological study of the cross-sectional population-based type carried
out by means of collecting data from records of foot assesment in people without and
with a previous diagnosis of DM, carried out during the period from 2013 to 2015,
in which dependent variables were: the presence of signs of neuropathy and vasculopathy,
deformities and ulcerations in the feet; and independent variables were sociodemographic
variables, habits, clinical history and self-care/diabetes education.
Results: Descriptive analysis performed using 1339 individuals, of whom 115 were unaware
of the diagnosis. Female predominance observed (51%), elderly (39%), and belonged
to the non-economically active population group (32%), mostly non-smokers and non-alcoholics.
The predominant classification of DM was type 2 (72%), with duration of disease of
11 years; hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity (55%). Regarding the treatment,
were the association of diet (51) and oral antidiabetics (61%). The presence of peripheric
neuropathy, the degree of risk detected was 1 (27%) and referred as tingling in the
feet (35%), 59% reported that they did not receive advice regarding foot care, questioning
the quality of foot care.
Conclusion: These investigation reports an interface with extension program and a
diabetes association aimed at preventing complications due to DM. The results of this
research confirm international findings that support the importance of prevention
of foot complications and that population campaigns have the potential to detect risks
and vulnerabilities due to diabetes. It also highlights the shortfall in the educational
process offered to people with diabetes.

Introduction: Acromegaly is caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) from a
secreting pituitary adenoma, whose action is mediated by insulinlike growth factor
(IGF-1). The insidious progression of the disease leads to complications such as diabetes,
which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Unlike type 2 diabetics, the
pathophysiology of diabetes secondary to acromegaly is unrelated to obesity.
Objective: Analyze the clinical and biochemical data of diabetic and non-diabetic
acromegalic patients at the time of acromegaly diagnosis.
Methods: Medical records of 32 acromegalic patients were divided in two groups according
to the presence or absence of diabetes at the diagnosis of acromegaly. Clinical and
biochemical variables were collected, IGF-1 was expressed as the observed value divided
by the upper limit of normal (IGF-1 x ULN) and by the mean between upper and inferior
limit of normal (IGF- 1 x mean) for age and gender. The study was approved by Londrina
State University’s Ethics Board, approval number 059/2014 and informed consent were
obtained from the patients.
Results: From 32 patients, 46% were diabetic at the diagnosis of acromegaly and older
than non-diabetic patients (p = 0.04, Table 1). A weak and a moderate positive correlation
was found between GH and IGF-1 (p = 0.08) and IGF-1 (X ULN) and fasting glycemia,
respectively (p = 0.04, Fig. 1). In diabetics, the estimated duration of acromegaly
before diagnosis was longer than in non-diabetic patients (p = 0.04).
Conclusion: Diabetic patients were older than non-diabetic patients at acromegaly
diagnosis. The positive correlation between IGF-1 (X ULN) and glycemia levels demonstrated
the influence of GH/IGF-1 axis on glucose metabolism in acromegaly. The presence of
diabetes was related to the duration of acromegaly once that patients were exposed
to chronically elevated IGF-1 levels (Fig. 1).

Chorea and ballism are rare neurological manifestations with diverse etiologies. This
is a case report of a patient who has received a diabetes diagnosis after an episode
of secondary hemichorea to the hypoglycemia. A rare manifestation in a common disease
in a female patient without previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The 79 years
old patient, without previous antecedents, independent for the daily living activities,
was taken to the emergency room by her daughter with the report of mental confusion
that had begun 10 days before, associated to the presence of involuntary movements
in the right side, which improved during sleep. The pacient was admitted in regular
general state, dehydrated, with capillary glycemia, immeasurable through the glucometer.
She has received adequate hydration and glycemic control, but kept a neurological
picture. Was performed an investigation with serological tests, cerebrospinal fluid
examination, electroencephalogram, evaluation of thyroid and vitamin deficiency, all
negative, but with magnetic resonance revealing hypersignal in T1, in bilateral putaminal
topography, alteration attributed to the hyperglycemic state, and glycosylated hemoglobin
14.1%, being hemichorea attributed to the hyperglycemia. Secondary chorea to hyperglycemic
state is a rare neurological manifestation, with description of cases in ketotic and
nonketotic patients, generally associated to alterations in the region of basal ganglia
visualized in brain’s magnetic resonance. Doesn’t possess well defined physiopathological
mechanism, with theories involving the comsumption of inhibitory neurotransmitters
with lack of control of the mechanism of thalamic inhibition, diabetic vasculopathy
leading to the bad perfusion of the nucleus striatum, acute disfunction of basal ganglia
secondary to the hyperglycemia. The prognostic is variable, with cases reported with
gradual improvement after diabetes control and use of haloperidol and others with
maintenance of the picture. The referred patient received insulin therapy and haloperidol
to control the involuntary movements, having good results in the discharge, however,
in ambulatory return the pacient still needs haloperidol maintenance for sintomatic
control, despite of the adequate diabetes control.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a non-transmissible chronic disease, whose
the treatment extends from self-care, as a preventive measure, the adherence to drug
and non-drug therapy.
Objective: To identify factors related to adherence to self-care measures by diabetic
patients.
Method: Quantitative, descriptive, exploratory cross-sectional study. A sample of
99 diabetics patients Type 2. To assess adherence to self-care was used the Self-Care
Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) which is validated in Brazil. Participants
were only interviewed after signing the informed consent form. The results were expressed
as absolute (n) and relative (%), mean and standard deviation. This research was approved
by the research ethics committee of the Foundation of Education and Research in Health
Sciences of the health secretariat—FEPECS/SES, CAAE 45288915.6.0000.5553.
Results: There was a predominance of elderly (58%), female (71%) and white (47%).
Regarding the sociodemographic characteristics, the majority attended elementary school
(62%) and lived accompanied (86%). Systemic arterial hypertension (79%) and dyslipidemia
(46%) were the most prevalent comorbidities associated with diabetes. Regarding self-care,
low adherence to healthy diet (3.7 ± 0.3 days) and physical activity (2.8 ± 0.3 days)
were demonstrated. There was greater adherence when asked about daily foot care (6 ± 0.2 days)
and use of prescribed medication therapy (6.4 ± 0.2 days).
Conclusion: Respondents presented greater adherence to drug treatment and foot care,
and less adherence to healthy diet and physical activity.

Introduction: One of the complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) is diabetic foot,
characterized by single or multiple lesions occurring on the feet of people with diabetes,
often resulting triad consisting of neuropathy, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and
infections. As known, the main measure in the treatment of these injuries is early
detection through behaviors related to self-care skills to the feet of the patient
and their families, and evaluation of risk factors by the multidisciplinary team.
Objective: To evaluate self-care skills of people with diabetes mellitus to prevent
foot injuries. Crosssectional study of a quantitative approach was developed in six
units of Primary Health Care Fortress-Ceará-Brazil, at a convenience sample composed
of 43 persons, a questionnaire of self-care skills with the diabetic foot and the
examination of the foot runs on 4 months of follow-up was applied. The research was
registered in Brazil under the Platform Presentation of Certificate number to Ethics
Assessment (CAEE): 47663215.5.0000.5534.
Results: There was a desirable self-care ability, i.e., a good selfcare, determined
by the habit of examining your feet; dry your feet and between toes; use some product
to moisturize your feet; look into the shoes before using them; cut toenails in rounded
shape. However, in footwear, foot injury presence, frequency of washing the feet,
water temperature, and color of the fabric socks and treatment of lesions did not
show good ability to self-care with their feet.
Conclusion: Descriptors: Diabetes mellitus; Diabetic foot; Nursing (Fig. 1).

Background: Improvements in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial glucose
(PPG) levels are major contributors to achieving HbA1c targets in subjects with type
2 diabetes (T2D). 1,2 Shortacting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1
RAs) generally demonstrate greater improvements in PPG following injection, while
long-acting GLP-1 RAs show a greater effect on FPG and more modest effects on PPG.
3 Semaglutide is a GLP-1 analog in development for the onceweekly treatment of T2D.
Semaglutide has demonstrated superior HbA1c reductions (1.2–1.5% with semaglutide
0.5 mg and 1.5–1.8% with semaglutide 1.0 mg), vs comparators, across the phase 3a
SUSTAIN 1–5 clinical trials, when used as monotherapy, add-on to metformin, 1–2 oral
anti-diabetic medications, or with basal insulin.
Aim: To assess the effect of once-weekly semaglutide subcutaneous on FPG and PPG across
the SUSTAIN 1–5 trials.
Methods: In SUSTAIN 1–5, a total of 3918 subjects (HbA1c 7.0–10.0/10.5%) with T2D
were randomized to semaglutide 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, or placebo (SUSTAIN 1); sitagliptin
(SUSTAIN 2); exenatide extended release [ER] (SUSTAIN 3, vs semaglutide 1.0 mg only);
insulin glargine [IGlar] (SUSTAIN 4); or placebo as add-on to basal insulin (SUSTAIN
5); for 30 or 56 weeks. The effect of semaglutide 0.5 and 1.0 mg vs comparators on
FPG, and PPG (mean and postprandial increments) from 7/8-point self-measured plasma
glucose (SMPG) profile, was assessed (vs baseline) at the end of treatment.
Results: Semaglutide reduced mean FPG (mg/dL) from baseline. Reductions in FPG were
significantly greater for semaglutide 1.0 mg vs comparators (estimated treatment difference
[ETD] 1.0 mg − 26.87 vs Page 2 of 2 sitagliptin, − 15.12 vs exenatide ER, − 11.02
vs IGlar, and − 32.17 to − 33.87 vs placebo; all p ≤ 0.0002). Reductions were also
significantly greater for semaglutide 0.5 mg vs sitagliptin and placebo (ETD0.5 mg
− 17.53, and − 20.62 to − 35.28, respectively, all p ≤ 0.0002). Semaglutide reduced
mean PPG (mg/dL) increments. The reductions in PPG increments were significantly greater
for semaglutide 1.0 mg vs comparators (ETD1.0 mg − 6.87 vs sitagliptin, − 4.31 vs
exenatide ER, − 11.71 vs IGlar, and − 13.38 to − 18.16 vs placebo; all p < 0.02).
Reductions were also significantly greater for semaglutide 0.5 mg vs IGlar and placebo
when added to insulin (ETD0.5 mg − 7.09 and − 11.92, respectively; both p ≤ 0.003)
but not vs placebo (monotherapy) and sitagliptin (ETD0.5 mg − 7.37 and − 3.26, respectively;
p = 0.0807 and p = 0.0926). Mean SMPG levels were significantly reduced with semaglutide
0.5 and 1.0 mg vs all comparators (p < 0.0001), with the exception of semaglutide
0.5 mg vs IGlar.
Conclusions: Semaglutide consistently reduced FPG and PPG across the SUSTAIN 1–5 clinical
trials, suggesting that both components contribute to significantly better glycemic
control versus comparators.

Semaglutide, a GLP-1 analog in development for once-weekly subcutaneous treatment
of T2D, demonstrated superior reductions in HbA1c and body weight across SUSTAIN 1–5
clinical trials. The efficacy of semaglutide 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg vs comparators (placebo,
sitagliptin, exenatide ER, insulin glargine) by baseline HbA1c subgroup (≤ 7.5, > 7.5
to 8.0, > 8.0 to 8.5, > 8.5 to 9.0 and > 9%) was evaluated in a post hoc analysis
of SUSTAIN 1–5. Semaglutide reduced mean HbA1c (%) from baseline in all subgroups
vs all comparators. Mean HbA1c decreased by 0.7–2.5% with semaglutide 0.5 mg and 0.9–2.8%
with semaglutide 1.0 mg, vs 1.8% to an increase of 0.6% with comparators (Figure).
Across trials, reduction in HbA1c consistently increased with higher baseline HbA1c.
In subjects with the highest baseline HbA1c (> 9%), an HbA1c target of < 7% was achieved
in 33–47% and 40–61% of subjects treated with semaglutide 0.5 and 1.0 mg, respectively,
vs 3–21% with comparators; while 61–79 and 71–94% vs 7–60% achieved HbA1c level of < 8%.
Greater weight reduction with semaglutide vs comparators was observed across all baseline
HbA1c subgroups. No new safety or tolerability issues were observed with semaglutide.
Semaglutide consistently showed greater efficacy in lowering HbA1c vs comparators,
regardless of baseline HbA1c. From a baseline HbA1c > 9%, more than 40% of subjects
achieved the HbA1c < 7% target with semaglutide 1.0 mg (Sponsored by Novo Nordisk
A/S) (Fig. 1).

Introduction: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), is a common denominator
in the pathophysiology of microvascular and macrovascular complications and is an
early marker of cardiovascular risk (CVR).
Objectives: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of microcirculation (physiological
and pharmacological) assessed through laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) based
on cutoff value derived from the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) through Endo-PAT,
which identifies the ones with ED in patients with T1D.
Methods: Patients with T1D, aged ≥ 12 years underwent a clinical-epidemiological questionnaire.
Fasting blood samples were obtained (lipid profile, glycemic control and levels of
C-reactive protein). Vascular reactivity was assessed in the forearm through the technique
of LSCI at baseline, during post occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH) and during iontophoresis
of acetylcholine (ACh) and peripheral arterial tonometry was performed by supplying
the RHI through Endo-PAT device.
Results: 189 patients were evaluated, 97 women (51.3%) with T1D, aged 32 ± 13 years
and with a disease duration of 16 (6–21) years and mean A1c of 9.2% (± 2.2). Receiver
Operating Characteristics curve (ROC) analisys according to RHI showed that the Area
under curve (AUC) of ACh of 10,369 Laser Speckle Perfusion Unit (LSPU) presented sensitivity
and specificity of 65 and 87.5%, respectively, (p = 0.002) in those patients with
T1D’s duration less than 5 years. Overall, no test of vascular reactivity was able
to distinguish the ideal cuttoff based on RHI.
Conclusion: In the present study, assessment of microcirculation through endothelium-dependent
vasodilation to ACh using LSCI evidenced ED according to Endo-PAT’s score, only in
those under 5 years of disease duration. Further prospective studies shall be conducted
to evaluate its predictive cardiovascular value (Fig. 1)

Case report: JSM, 35 years old, married, with no history of alcoholism, with type-1
diabetes mellitus (DM) for 26 years, 3 years ago started feeling burning pain, paresthesia
and hypoesthesia in her feet, which got worse at night and who has, for 4 months now,
been presenting the same symptoms in her hands, starting at her distal phalanges and
progressing to her hands greatly impact-ing her daily activities. During the physical
examination, strength and tonus were preserved in up-per and lower limbs, tactile
and painful hypoesthesia were present in her hands, and anesthesia in her feet with
preserved reflexes. Tests were requested to evaluate glycemic control, the screening
of lesions in target organs and investigation of peripheral neuropathy: glycemia while
fasting: 262; HbA1c: 8.2; FAN: negative, TSH: 2.28, T4: 1.1; VIT B12: 454, VDRL: negative;
urea: 30, creatinine: 0.6; microalbuminuria: 19.4; hemogram and electrophoresis of
proteins without changes; ocular fundus without changes and electromyography with
changes compatible with sensory poly-neuropathy predominantly in lower limbs. As a
result, she was diagnosed with sensory polyneurop-athy and began treatment with Thioctacid
and optimized insulin therapy for better glycemic control.
Discussion: The chronic DM complications are related to inadequate glycemic control,
time of evo-lution, genetic predisposition and associated comorbidities, involving
microvascular changes (reti-nopathy, nephropathy and neuropathies) and macrovascular
changes. Diabetic neuropathy is charac-terized by progressive loss of myelin and axons,
being the most frequent form of sensory polyneu-ropathy with or without autonomic
manifestations. Sensitivity becomes more compromised in the distal segments of the
limbs, usually assuming the form of boots and gloves and affecting lower limbs more.
In type-2 DM it can be detected during diagnosis, which in DM1, it normally appears
5 or more years after diagnosis.
Final comments: The neuropathic involvement of patients is usually precocious and
of high prevalence, but most constitute diabetic triopathy—ophthalmopathy, nephropathy
and neuropathy. It is an important public health problem, which causes morbidity and
mortality and worsens quality of life due to incapacitation and decreased survival.
In the case re-ported, the patient presented severe incapacitating sensory hand and
foot polyneuropathy leading to early retirement without other microvascular complications
shown by the complementary exams. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from
the patient.

Introduction: Treating diabetes in indigenous populations is challenging due to difficulties
to access adequate health care. Also, the prevalence of additional cardiovascular
risk factors is unclear in this populations.
Aim: To assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Fulni-Ô Indigenous people with diabetes
and pre-diabetes.
Method: PAI is a transversal study that included in the pilot phase 47 low urbanized
Fulni-Ô indigenous people (Águas Belas, Pernambuco), males and females, aged between
30 and 70 years. Were excluded participants with history of cardiovascular diseases
or that refused blood collection for laboratory analysis. Diabetes was established
if HbA1c ≥ 6.5% or if in use of hypoglycemic drugs; pre-DM was established if HbA1c
between 5.7 and 6.4%. Dyslipidemia criteria was: HDL < 40 mg/dL in males or < 50 mg/dL
in females; LDL > 160 mg/dL; tryglicerides (TG) > 150 mg/dL; or total cholesterol
(TC) > 200 mg/dL. Variables were described in their averages ± standard deviation
or proportions. The study was approved by the National Ethics Committee, approval
number 1.488.268. Informed consent to publish has been obtained from these patients.
Results: Of the 47 indigenous people, 15 had diabetes and 24 pre-diabetes. Of those
with diabetes, the average age was 58.5 ± 11.5 years, 80% were female, 80% had low
HDL, and 73.3% hypertriglyceridemia. LDL was calculated by the Fridewald formula in
4 participants, but none presented LDL > 160 mg/dL; all the others had TG > 400 mg/dL,
not being possible to calculate. Moreover, 66.67% of the participants had TC > 200 mg/dL.
When considering participants with pre-diabetes, the mean age was 36.5 ± 4.5 years,
75% were female, 50% had low HDL, 8.34% had LDL > 160 mg/dL, 58.3% TC > 200 mg/days,
and 54.16% had hypertriglyceridemia.
Conclusion: Fulni-Ô indigenous people with dysglycemia showed a high prevalence of
dyslipidemia, particularly in females with diabetes.

Introduction: Type 1 Diabete Mellitus (T1DM) is caused by damage to pancreatic beta
cells as a result of an autoimmune process in excess of 95% of the cases (type 1A),
being idiopathic in less than 5% (type 1B). It incides in millions of people around
the world, at any age, but the majority of the cases occurs in children, with the
highest prevalence amongst pre-school children and around puberty. The principal acute
complications are related to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, leading to diabetic ketocidosis
(DKA).
Case report: A 6 year old male was admitted into hospital with clinical complaints
such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, occurring in the last 48 h. He also presented
oliguria and was taking Amoxicillin for pharyngitis in the last 24 h. Fever, dehydratation,
tachypnea, hyperpnea and obnubilation (Glasgow 11) were observed on physical examination.
Laboratory findings: Glycemia: 1596 mg/dL, Na: 151 mEq/l, K: 4.9 mEq/L, creatinine:
3.67 mg/dL, urea: 178 mg/dL, pH: 7.09, pCO2: 16 mmHg, pO2: 163 mmHg and HCO3: 4.9 mEq/L.
The patient was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
After recovery and stabilization, new laboratory findings demonstrated C peptide:
0.66 ng/ml, Ab anti GAD 65: 1372 UI/mL and Ab anti IA2: 4000 UI/mL, which confirmed
the diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. He was discharged from hospital taking
Insulin NPH and Insulin Regular, subsequently substituted to Insulin Glargine and
Insulin Lispro. In the last 18 months, the patient has shown good glicemic control
and adhesion to treatment.
Discussion: DKA can be the initial manifestation of T1DM in up to 75% of the cases,
being the most common pediatric emergency. The mortality rate in DKA depends on the
precipitating events and/or complications of DKA treatment. In severe DKA (pH under
7.10), hypo, normo or hypernatremia can occur, as well as hyperglycemia ranging from
350 to 900 mg/dL. In this report, the patient presented a severe DKA (pH: 7.09 and
HCO3: 4.9 mEq/L), hypernatremia (151 mE/L) and hyperglycemia (1596 mg/dL), resembling
levels of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, due to osmotic polyuria not compensated
by polydipsia for at least the 48 h that preceded the admission to hospital. The patient’s
absence of adequate fluid ingestion was also consequent to dysphagia and odinophagia,
attributed to a trivial bacterial pharyngitis. Informed consent to publish had been
obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Carbohydrate counting therapy (CCT) is a nutritional approach that enables
patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) to adjust their prandial insulin dose according
to carbohydrate consumption. It aims to improve glycemic control and allow flexibility.
Studies in adults have reported glycemic and lifestyle benefits when CCT is used.
It is a challenge to bring this therapy to a greater number of patients, especially
concerning the need for a specialized team to manage it. Shared medical appointments
(SMAs) is defined as groups of patients meeting over time for comprehensive care for
a defined chronic condition or health care state. It often uses educational or self-management
enhancement strategies paired with medication and nutritional management in an effort
to improve disease outcomes.
Objective: The objective of this study is to bring CCT to children and adolescents
with T1DM through SMAs in a public health center for diabetes in Belo Horizonte, Minas
Gerais, Brazil.
Methods: The patients attended four meetings lasting 60 min each for 4 months. The
results were assessed by a self-applicable questionnaire administered 2 months after
the end of the meetings.
Results: The group was composed of 18 participants. The mean age was 15.22 ± 2.18
(10–18) years, most of the participants were male (61.1%), and time of T1DM diagnosis
was at 5.61 ± 2.82 (1–11) years. Before the intervention, only 17% of the patients
were practicing CCT, and afterward, 50% of the them reported practicing CCT, all of
whom wanted to maintain the therapy. In the group practicing CCT, 6 (67%) were practicing
it for all meals and 3 (33%) for one daily meal. Of those 3 patients, 2 (67%) wanted
to do it for all the meals. The benefits listed were mainly flexibility and improved
control. In the group not practicing CCT, the reasons listed were the amount of time
needed (34%), mathematics difficulties (22%), no desire to do it (22%), not understanding
it (11%), and other (11%). The mean glycated hemoglobin on the baseline was 9.95 ± 1.69%
(8.1–12.9%), and after the SMA, it was 9.8 ± 2.06% (7–14%). The glycemic control improved
for the group that started practicing CCT, although it was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: SMAs could be a useful tool to bring a greater number of patients to CCT,
but further studies are necessary with a greater number of patients at different ages
and longer to assess whether the SMAs can be useful to spread CCT to more patients

Introduction: Studies have been showing, increasingly early, the deleterious effects
in the organism associated to the saturated fat rich diet consumption, followed by
molecular modifications, with immediately on physiological systems outcomes. This
seems to occur in the gut exposed to the high-fat diet and is perhaps one of the initial
triggers of the genesis of obesity.
Aims: To evaluate the relationship between the inflammatory and tight junction proteins
in the distal ileum of animals exposed for a short time, and in a time dependent manner
(3, 7 and 14 days) to the diet rich in saturated fat. In addition, the fatty acid
receptors were evaluated.
Methods: After approved by the Ethics Committee on the Use of Animals of the State
University of Campinas (Protocol 3997-1), male C57BL/6J mice at 6 weeks of age were
exposed to the normocaloric (CT) or high-fat diet (HF) for 3, 7 or 14 days. Weight
gain, food consumption, and epididymal adiposity were evaluated. The distal ileum
was removed for RT-qPCR analyzes related to inflammatory (TNFα, IL1β, IL6 and IL10)
and junction proteins transcripts (ZO1-Zonula occludin1; Cldn7-Claudin7). The GPR120
and GPR40 fatty acid receptors gene expression were also evaluated. The data were
submitted to Student‘s t-test and significant when P < 0.05.
Results: Compared to CT group, at the first moment, 1 day of HF diet consumption has
impacted in 155% the caloric intake (P = 0.0001). In the 14th day of HF diet, the
food intake was reduced, however, the total caloric intake was mainteined still greater
than 25% compared to the CT group (P = 0.001) (Fig. 1). The body weight gain induced
by the HF diet was considerably reflected in the epididymal adipose tissue after 3
(P = 0.02), 7 (P = 0.004) and 14 (P < 0.0001) days (Fig. 2 and 3). After 3 days of
HF, there was a reduction in the IL10 anti-inflammatory gene expression (P = 0.001),
which normalized in 7 days. Even in 7 days, there was a reduction of the pro-inflammatory
TNFα (P = 0.001). Significant changes in the ZO-1, Cldn-7, GPR120 or GPR40 gene expression
were not observed in any of the periods. Despite a notable increase, there was no
statistical significance (P > 0.05) after 3, 7 and 14 days of HF diet compared to
GPR40, IL6, IL10, ZO1 and Cldn7 genes (Fig. 4).
Conclusion: The data show that even under short-term period of high-fat consumption,
the diet promoted changes in body mass and in the pattern of gene expression of inflammatory
bowel proteins. Short-term exposure is not, in fact, capable of initiating obesity;
however, we understand that the adoption of this dietary pattern and its maintenance
impairs intestinal homeostasis, and can serve as a foundation for the obesogenesis
(Figs. 1, 2, 3).

Backgrounds: The technology of Short Message Service (SMS) is an important tool in
healthcare system and contributes to reduce the absenteeism to the scheduled appointments
and to better adhesion and treatment of chronic diseases as diabetes mellitus.
Aims: To evaluate whether sending scheduled appointment date reminders through SMS
for attendance at a healthcare unit would reduce the absenteeism of appointments with
the interdisciplinary team, during a period of 4 years of follow-up.
Methods: Absenteeism was accessed by the total number of patients that scheduled appointments
in relation to the non-attendance at the scheduled date, as well as to the number
of appointments and idleness of the team, during the study period from SMS sending
since 2013. The SMS was sent 1 week before the appointment date. The appointments
were scheduled 3 months in advance and included 3-5 different professionals’ appointments
per shift.
Results: The absenteeism in 2012 (before SMS intervention) was 20.0 ± 3.3% (7736 patient’s
appointments/1524 absentees), in 2013: 15.9 ± 2.1%, 2014: 15.4 ± 1.8%, 2015: 17.8 ± 3.7%
and 2016: 16.8 ± 3.5%. There was a significant reduction in absenteeism overt the
consecutive years (p = 0.0035), being 20.5% (p = 0.0024) in the first year, 23.2%
(p = 0.0004), 11.3% (p = 0.060) and 16.2% (p = 0.016) in subsequent years. This reduction
was more evident in the first 2 years of the intervention (20.5 and 23.2%); however,
it remained until the fourth year of the study (11.3 and 16.2%). Regarding the scheduled
appointments, the absenteeism in 2012 was 14.9 ± 2.9% (17,196 schedules/2510 idle
attendances), 2013: 11.9 ± 1.9%, 2014: 11.5 ± 1.7%, 2015: 13.9 ± 3.7% and 2016: 13.3 ± 1.7%.
In the evaluation period, there was a reduction in the idleness of the agenda (p = 0.0008)
and scheduled appointments (p = 0.0143).
Conclusions: Our data demonstrated that the SMS technology is an important tool in
reducing absenteeism to the healthcare system and the interdisciplinary team. However,
they indicate that in addition to sending the SMS, other interventions are still necessary
to maintain these results overt the long-term period.

Time to glycemic control with a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine (iGlar)
and lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) vs. iGlar alone was evaluated in patients with T2DM uncontrolled
on oral antidiabetic agents or basal insulin (BI) as a post hoc analysis of the LixiLan-O
(LL-O) and LixiLan-L (LL-L) trials. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate time
to control, defined as time (days) to first achieve HbA1c < 7% or FPG ≤ 130 mg/dL.
In LL-O and LL-L, 45 and 60% of patients, respectively, reached target HbA1c with
iGlarLixi at 12 weeks (Table). In LL-O, 50% of patients achieved HbA1c < 7% in approximately
half the time with iGlarLixi vs. iGlar (median, 85.0 days vs. 166.0 days; hazard ratio
[HR]: 1.5; p < 0.0001). In LL-L, the HbA1c target was achieved by 50% of patients
in a median time of 153.0 days with iGlarLixi, but target HbA1c was never reached
by 50% of patients with iGlar (HR: 2.0; p < 0.0001). In contrast, when time to glycemic
control was analyzed for FPG, results were comparable vs. iGlar in both studies. In
addition to lowering FPG via iGlar, iGlarLixi lowers PPG, likely contributing to its
greater efficacy in achieving glycemic control vs. iGlar alone. In conclusion, in
patients with T2DM uncontrolled on oral agents or BI, iGlarLixi induced glycemic control
(HbA1c < 7%) earlier and in more patients vs. iGlar alone. Study codes: NCT02058160
and NCT02058147. This is an ENCORE abstract previously presented at ADA 2017. Funding

Background: Gestational diabetes (GDM) and sleep disorders, are prevalent conditions
during Pregnancy, but the interrelationships between sleep and metabolic changes are
not well established in the literature. It is known that insulin resistance is a common
disruptor and sleep disorders are risk factors for diabetes, obesity and the metabolic
syndrome also out of gestation. The influence of sleep disturbances during diabetic
gestation is not well established.
Objectives: To investigate the quality of sleep in a group of patients with diabetes
during pregnancy attending a referral service in northwest of Brazil.
Methodology: This is a prospective study, with convenience sample. Data were collected
through an interview. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index (PSQI), a validated version in Portuguese. The study was approved by Instituto
para o Desenvolvimento da Educação Ltda-IPADE ethic board, approval number 1.801.860.
The statistical analysis was performed by Epi Info software version 7.1.3.10.
Results: Eighty-six diabetic pregnant women aged 19–44 with a mean age of 32.5 years
were evaluated. The mean gestational age was 25.6 weeks (ranging from 10 to 38 weeks).
It was observed 8.5% with Type 1 DM, 21.7% Type 2 DM and 69.8% GDM. They were treated
with insulin 43%, Metformin: 31.4%, Glibenclamide: 1.1 and 48.8% with diet alone.
87.2% were overweight/obese. Sleep quality assessed by PSQI ranged from 1 to 16 with
an average score of 7.4. Poor quality of sleep (PSQI ≥ 6) was observed in 67.5% of
the patients, and more prevalent among obese pregnant women, 56.9% with BMI > 30,
42.2% with BMI ≥ 25 and < 30, and only 0.9% had BMI < 25.
Conclusions: Sleep disorders characterized by poor sleep quality were frequent in
pregnant women with diabetes. There was an association between overweight/obesity
and poor sleep quality. Due to the importance of health and metabolic balance in women
with diabetes in pregnancy, we consider it important to deepen this research and to
evaluate if measures that improve the quality of sleep in these women can possibly
have a positive impact on the weight gain during pregnancy or other gestational outcomes.

Background: Nowadays, Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most challenging chronic
health conditions worldwide. Diabetes foot-related complications require appropriate
education of the patient, but it can be prevented by proper foot care [1, 2]. On the
other hand, social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter provides important
opportunities for enhancing health communication and health care, including self-management
of chronic conditions such as DM [3, 4]. However, no study has evaluated the occurrence
of Brazilian Facebook groups used as the source of information sharing about diabetic
foot care.
Objective: This study analyzed the occurrence of groups related to diabetic foot care
on Facebook in Brazil.
Materials and methods: Facebook was searched on May 16, 2017, using the following
terms in Portuguese: “diabetic foot”, “diabetic foot care”, “foot care”, “podiatry”,
“ “podiatric care”, “and diabetic neuropathy”. Private groups, with less than three
members, not from Brazil, and those not related to the topic, were excluded. Public
groups associated with search terms were included. Two reviewers (PHL and DPC) independently
collected the following information from the eligible groups‘contents: privacy, language,
title of the group, URL posting dates and number of likes, shares and comments. Any
disagreement between the researchers was resolved by discussion until a consensus
was reached [1]. The data were analyzed and described.
Results: Search resulted in a total of 64 groups. Of these, the following correlations
were found for the search terms: 26 groups for “diabetic foot”; 0 (zero) for “diabetic
foot care”; 7 for “foot care”; 1 for “podiatric care”; 11 for “podiatry”; and 19 for
“diabetic neuropathy”. After applying the exclusion criteria (12 non-Portuguese groups
[9: English, 3: Spanish], 6 groups with less than 3 members, and 29 private groups),
17 Brazilian Facebook groups were related to the diabetic foot care.
Conclusion: Facebook is a social networking system widely used in healthcare, but
little explored in the field of diabetic foot care. Brazilian professionals, National
Health Organizations and National Diabetes Organizations could use more this kind
of online platform as a support for health education. In this context, the Internet
and the social network like Facebook provides opportunities to strengthen communication
and support among individuals with DM, their families, health care providers, and
others. The authors are grateful to the CNPq, FAPEMIG and UFVJM for the support.

Introduction: One of the complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) is the diabetic foot,
characterized by isolated lesions or several that occur on the feet of people with
DM, usually due to triad composed of neuropathy peripheral artery disease and infections.
As known, the recognition of the socio-demographic and clinical profile of patients
are of great importance for the planning of health actions, multiprofessional team,
aiming at the integral care.
Objective: Draw the demographic profile and people with clinical risk for diabetic
foot served in the basic attention.
Method: Cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, in 82 people with DM2
met in six units of the basic attention of Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil. The data were collected
through individual interview and physical examination of the foot and analyzed by
Student‘s t test. The research was reported in Brazil Platform under the number of
the certificate of introduction to Ethics Assessment: 47663215.5.0000.5534.
Results: There was a predominance of female, 59 (72%), the average was 60.5 ± 13.6 years,
38 (46%) there were 5–9 years of study, with an average 6.2 ± 4.2, 44 (54%) were married,
66 (80%) played home activities and/or were retirees 72 (88%) had income of less than
two minimum wages, average of 10 ± 7.2 years of diagnosis, 66 (80%), used predominantly
the oral hypoglycemics the food plan was not executed by 43 (52%), 8 (9.8%), blood
glucose check routinely said, 70 (85.3%) reported some other disease, HAS 73 (89%),
reported not be smoking, it was noticed the predominance of family, 64 (78%), whose
relationship is of the first kind, on the practice of physical activity, the majority
(65%), 53, if sedentary, said the data showed overweight, 26 (31%), 45 (55%) had normal
values in PAS and 64 (78%) in the PAD, glucose levels, 72 (86%) were with their levels
altered. In relation to clinical aspects made by examination of the foot, 56 (68.2%)
had grade 0, 16 (19.5%) grade 1, 9 (11%) grade 2 and 1 (1.2%) grade 3.
Conclusion: The identification of the profile of people with risk for diabetic foot
can contribute to the intensification of educational actions for prevention of health
supporting strategies for treatment adherence and control of the complications. Informed
consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most prevalent health problems today, contributing
to the appearance and progression of micro and macrovascular complications in the
diabetic population. However, it is known that many patients do not achieve adequate
blood pressure control despite antihypertensive treatment.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in a sample of
elderly diabetics.
Methodology: Sectional study, descriptive in nature, based on data from type 2 diabetic
patients over 65 years of age. Uncontrolled hypertension was considered if PAS ≥ 140 mmHg
and/or PAD ≥ 90 mmHg during the last 3 outpatient visits.
Study design: Sectional Descriptive Study. Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic METHODS
We analyzed 274 diabetic patients. It was considered: DM type 2—Patients older than
65 years—PAS ≥ 140 mmHg—PAD ≥ 90 mmHg.
Results: According to the data, 274 patients (68% men) were evaluated, with a mean
age of 57.8 ± 5.8 years. Uncontrolled blood pressure was verified in 32% patients
(n = 87), although 86% used antihypertensive medications. Among the group with uncontrolled
blood pressure, the majority of males (82%), younger (49.2 ± 1.6 vs. 61.3 ± 2.7 years,
p < 0.001) and more obese (BMI 33.46 ± 3.1 vs. 25.58 ± 1.86, p < 0.005). There were
no significant differences in the time of diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes, serum
creatinine and potassium.
Conclusion: ccording to our results, blood pressure levels above the targets were
highly prevalent, mainly among the elderly male, being, however, slightly lower than
the data available in the literature. We also emphasize the predominant profile found
in our sample, consistent with those likely to develop macrovascular complications.
Within this context, strict and simultaneous control of both pathologies is imperative,
given the high rates of complications, disability and deaths associated with diabetes
and hypertension.

Case report: A 49-year-old woman presented unable to walk after a 6-month history
of progressive right leg stiffness, foot spasms and pain. Physical examination confirmed
markedly increased tone muscles and revealed her right foot was plantarflexed and
inverted with no active or passive movement in the right ankle or knee due to increased
tone. Cerebral and spinal MRI were unremarkable and cerebrospinal fluid examination
was negative for pathologies. Electroneurography and myography revealed no neurological
abormality. Suspected Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS) was confirmed by the increased anti-GAD
antibodies (722 UI/mL) and the marked improvement in rigidity and stiffness with clonazepam,
baclofen and immunosuppressive treatment with azathioprine. Diabetes was diagnosed
a year after (fasting glucose of 301 mg/dL, HbA1C of 9.9%, C-peptide of 0.2 ng/mL),
requiring insulin since diagnosis. Patient remained in good general condition, with
no new organ involvement. Some years after, her daughter, 27-years-old, presented
the same clinic of SPS with slowly progressive stiffness, rigidity and painful muscle
spasms. Diagnosis of SPS was confirmed. Diabetes with positive anti-GAD antibodies
was diagnosed after 2 years and treated with insulin since diagnosis. Patient developed
miastenia gravis after 3 years. She also presented a good response to treatment.
Discussion: Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS) is a rare neuroimmunologic disorder characterized
by progressive muscle stiffness, rigidity and painful spasms. Clinical manifestations
of SPS have been attributed to dysfunction of inhibitory mechanisms within the central
nervous system. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter, is produced by GAD (glutamic
acid decarboxylase) and is decreased in the presence of anti-GAD antibodies, which
are markers of SPS (prevalence of 60–80%). There is a strong association with others
autoimmune-mediated disorders, as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), which is observed
in 30% of SPS patients and also presents anti-GAD antibodies positivity (80%). An
immune pathogenesis is accepted as the cause of SPS, but remains unclear whether anti-GAD
antibodies are directly pathogenic, unlike in T1DM.
Conclusion: SPS is a very rare disease without well established pathogenesis and debilitating
nature if not recognized in time. Association with T1DM, anti-GAD antibodies and other
autoimmune disorders could contribute to clinical suspicion and earlier diagnosis.

Introduction: About 45% of the world‘s population and about 58% of the population
over 10 years of age are part of the workforce. The work of this population supports
the economic and material basis of societies that, on the other hand, are dependent
on their ability to work. In this way, worker health and occupational health are crucial
prerequisites for productivity and are of paramount importance for socioeconomic and
sustainable development.
Objective: To evaluate the lifestyle and self-perception of the consumption of sugary
and high-fiber foods in employees of a higher education institution in Recife-PE.
Method: The research was conducted in April and May 2017, with a group of 140 professionals
from a higher education institution, where factors related to nutritional status,
health/lifestyle and selfperception of consumption of sweets; soft drinks and processed
juices and fiber. As a data collection instrument, a specific form was used, which
was filled in a laboratory of the institution, using the technique of interview and
direct measurement of the anthropometric measurements (weight, height) and another
questionnaire of food frequency of VIGITEL 2014, on habits food.
Results: A total of 136 employees, 64.7% female, over 30 years old (57.3%), married
(50%), postgraduate (54%), income up to 5 wages (62, 5%) and average workload of 43.2 h/week.
It was observed that only 1.4% and 3.6% had diabetes and hypertension, respectively.
However, 57.3% reported a sensation of stress in the last 2 months; 55.1% did not
practice regular physical activities; 62% were overweight. In the self perception
of sweet food consumption, the categories 1–2 times/week (25%) and every day (29%)
were the most mentioned; in the consumption of soft drinks or industrialized juices,
40% take from 1 to 4 times a week; and 47% report low consumption of fiber-rich foods.
Conclusion: Following the recommendations of the World Health Organization, the health
of the worker and the work environment must be considered important axes in the promotion
of the quality of life and in the promotion of healthy practices, aiming at the prevention
of chronic diseases. In this study, we observed the factors that may, in the long
term, compromise the health status of this population.

Introduction: Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue in development
for type 2 diabetes (T2D). SUSTAIN 6, a 2-year, cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, randomised,
placebo-controlled trial, was conducted in 3297 adults with T2D at high CV risk. Once-weekly
subcutaneous semaglutide (0.5 or 1.0 mg) added to standard of care led to a significant
26% reduction (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.58–0.95) in
risk of the primary outcome (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction [MI] or non-fatal
stroke) vs placebo, driven by risk reductions in non-fatal MI (26%; HR, 0.74; 95%
CI 0.51–1.08) and non-fatal stroke (39%; HR, 0.61; 95% CI 0.38–0.99).
Objective: To explore the effect of semaglutide on the primary outcome over time.
This analysis can help support mechanistic understanding by evaluating whether there
is evidence of a weakened, strengthened or constant treatment effect during the trial.
Methods: An extended Cox model with a time-varying treatment effect was used to plot
the cumulative treatment coefficient (logarithm of the HR) in order to further assess
the dynamic in the overall treatment effect. These results were compared to the cumulative
incidence over time of subjects with a CV event for each treatment, as depicted in
a Kaplan–Meier plot.
Results: The beneficial effect observed with semaglutide vs placebo on the primary
outcome was constant over time, demonstrated by the negative and uniform slope throughout
the duration of the trial (Fig. 1A). Thus, CV events accumulated at a lower rate with
semaglutide vs placebo for the entire 2 years, confirming an effect from treatment
onset that persisted throughout the trial. This was consistent with the constantly
diverging cumulative incidences of subjects with events shown in the Kaplan–Meier
plot (Fig. 1B). Similar results were observed for the non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke
individual components.
Conclusions: In SUSTAIN 6, in subjects with T2D at high CV risk, a clinically relevant
benefit of semaglutide on risk of CV events was constant and persisted for the entire
2-year duration of the trial (Fig. 1)

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a worldwide epidemic, among the clinical
presentations of DM, there is gestational diabetes (GDM) which is characterized by
a metabolic change that may affect 3–25% of pregnant women. Nutritional therapy is
the first treatment option for GDM and sweeteners are considered to be coadjuvant
in dietary management.
Objective: The objective of evaluating the use of sweeteners in DMG through systematic
review of the literature.
Method: The scientific search was conducted between 2006 and 2015, where the following
databases were consulted: Medline/Pubmed, Scientific Electronic Library Online/SciELO
and Latin American and Caribbean Center for Health Sciences Information/BIREME. The
keywords used were: Gestational diabetes; Sweeteners and Sweeteners, in Portuguese
and English. Inclusion criteria were: studies with pregnant women adults and elderly
diabetics; studies on the consumption of sweeteners, frequency and the type most consumed.
Results: Thirty-one studies were selected, of which two were with diabetic pregnant
women. It was found that the majority of pregnant women evaluated the used sweeteners
saccharin and/or cyclamate, which was higher by consuming these processed products,
up to 98% of pregnant women consuming drinks with sweeteners. However, these studies
did not show the reasons for such consumption, but pointed out that the choice of
sweetener was based on taste satisfaction.
Conclusion: The use of sweeteners based on saccharin and cyclamate was verified, as
well as the consumption of soft drinks with sweeteners in the evaluated pregnant women.
It is necessary new studies evaluating safe dosage and possible health risks from
the consumption of sweeteners during pregnancy.

TOP-2 is a 12 months prospective observational study in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
investigating the effects of switching T2DM pts uncontrolled on BOT with other BI
to Gla-300 in daily clinical practice. Adult pts currently on a BOT with an indication
for changing their insulin therapy due to non-achievement of glycemic targets (A1c
7.5–10.0%) are enrolled. Primary endpoint (EP) is the rate of pts achieving a fasting
plasma glucose (FPG) ≤ 110 mg/dL after 6 and 12 months, respectively. Secondary EPs
include change in A1c, FPG, body weight (BW) and insulin dose, hypoglycemia incidence
and safety. Here we report on an interim analysis including all German pts, for whom
6 month results were available 15 months after study start (n = 661). Pts baseline
characteristics, efficacy and hypoglycemia EPs are shown in Table 1. Main previous
BI was insulin glargine 100 U/mL (50.1%). Most common oral therapy was Metformin ± DPP-4
inhibitors (46.1%). Six months after switching to Gla-300 mean (± SD) A1c was improved
from 8.21 ± 0.8 to 7.67 ± 1.0%. Less pts experienced nocturnal hypoglycemia (0.5%
vs 1.2%). BW remained stable. In conclusion, switching the BI in BOT to Gla-300 allowed
uncontrolled pts to reduce their A1c by 0.5% with > 50% less nocturnal hypoglycemia.
Final results are expected for 2018 (Fig. 1)

Background: YouTube is a resource that can influence people‘s behavior, including
the diabetic patient and their caregivers [1–4]. Studies highlight the importance
of YouTube as a source of information about some diseases including Diabetes Mellitus
(DM) [3, 5, 6]. However, no study has evaluated the use of YouTube as a source of
information about the technique of preparation and application of insulin.
Objective: In this study, our aim was to research the videos on YouTube Brazil regarding
the application of insulin.
Materials and methods: This is an exploratory and quantitative study. The search was
conducted on YouTube on July 15, 2017, using the terms “insulin application”. The
videos of greater than 30-min duration, without audio, not recorded in Brazilian Portuguese
language and those not related to the focus were excluded. Were included the videos
associated with the terms and available on the first 10 pages (200 videos) of search
results [3]. An instrument was created to evaluate the technique of preparation and
application of insulin, based on the Guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes
[SBD, 2016]. The videos were analyzed independently by MD and VP. Were recorded the
following parameters for all videos: the upload date, number of views, duration, “likes,”
“dislikes”, and comments. Approval by the ethics committee was not required, since
YouTube search is not directly involved with humans using public domain material [7].
Results: Our search resulted in a total of 8450 videos, of which 200 corresponding
to the first 10 pages were pre-selected, and 99 videos were excluded, according to
the criteria (Graphic 1). The other 101 videos analyzed were published between 2008
and 2017, and presented the following metrics: 2,883,951 views; 58,693 “likes”; 1171
“dislikes”; 2Z comments; and total duration of 8 h, 9 min and 51 s. The 10 most viewed
videos are shown in Graphics 2–6.
Conclusion: The number of video publications on insulin application has been increasing,
showing that YouTube has been increasingly used in both search and video transmission
for diabetes education. However, the analysis revealed incomplete or incorrect information
regarding the preparation and application of insulin, which may be negatively influencing
adherence to insulin treatment. In this sense, it is emphasized the need to know more
about how the insulin preparation and application technique on YouTube has been reproduced
and disseminated in Brazil, in order to contribute to safer insulin practices. The

Background: The rs1990760 polymorphism of the IFIH1 gene has been associated with
the presence of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), and its allele A is associated with
protection to hypertension in those patients [1]. In this study, we propose to investigate
this association using the 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in patients
of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA).
Results: In patients with the polymorphism analyzed previously, 127 also had an ABPM.
These patients were stratified according to their genotype (G/G, G/A or A/A) and the
results of the ABPM were analyzed under dominant, recessive and additive inheritance
model. Under a recessive model (Table 1), the GG and GA genotypes are associated with
higher prevalence of hypertension diagnosed by the ABPM (56.3% vs. 29.0%, p = 0008),
especially in the nocturnal period (54.2% vs 25.8%, p = 0,006), higher levels of blood
pressure (BP) in the nocturnal period (69 mmHg ± 9 vs 65 mmHg ± 9, p = 0,02) and lower
occurrence of the dipping pattern at night (55.2% vs 71%, p = 0,04) compared with
the AA genotype (Fig. 1). These findings (Table 2) remained significant after adjusts
for time of diabetes and glycated hemoglobin levels (OR 3.68; IC 95% 1.39–9.74); p = 0,009).
The presence of the G allele was associated with an absolute fall of 4.74 mmHg + − 2.03
in the diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.021). HbA1c also has affected this finding.
Conclusion: T1DM patients that present with the G allele of the genotype for the rs1990760
polymorphism present with alterations in blood pressure, mainly at the nocturnal period,
affecting the dipping pattern, which confirmed the alterations found in previous study.
The utilization of the 24 h ABPM is more sensitive than office blood pressure measures
for the diagnosis of hypertension in T1DM patients, so it is useful in those without
the AA genotype (Figs. 1, 2)

Introduction: Studies show positive effects of soy protein isolate (SPI) on lipid
and glucose metabolism, and may act to prevent chronic diseases, such as mellitus
diabetes. However, because contains phytoestrogens (isoflavones) in its composition
has been questioned the safety of its consumption during critical stages of development
(gestation and lactation). Studies evaluating this effect are scarce.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of SPI consumption by rats during lactation, nutritional
and metabolic status of offspring and adulthood.
Method: The study was approved by Federal University of Juiz de Fora Ethics Board
(nº nº 018/2014). Lactating rats were placed in cages with 6 male offspring and divided
into 2 groups: 1. Casein Control (C): received ration based on casein (20% protein);
2. Soy protein isolate (SPI): received SPI-based feed (20% protein). At weaning, 3
offspring/litter, randomly separated, began to receive commercial ration up to 150 days.
Have been evaluated: Food intake (FI), body weight (BW), body composition (Carcass
method), glycemia, insulinemia, leptinemia, lipid profile and total catecholamine
content in the adrenal medulla and serum estradiol (mothers).
Results: The S mothers presented sporadic increase in FI, without altering the other
parameters. The offspring SPI did not change FI, BW and visceral adiposity in the
evaluated periods. At weaning, the offspring SPI presented a reduction in total cholesterol
(− 32.82%, p < 0.0001) and LDL-cholesterol (− 39.61%, p < 0.001), without altering
the other metabolic parameters. In the adulthood, the SPI progeny had a reduction
of the body protein mass (− 10.10, p < 0.01) and of the total mineral content (− 18.91;
p < 0.007); hyperinsulinemia (+ 19.2%, p < 0.04) and hypertriglyceridemia (55.39%,
p < 0.03), with no change in glycemia, leptinemia and total catecholamine content
in the adrenal medulla.
Conclusion: Maternal SPI consumption in lactation programming negative effects on
body composition, lipid profile and glycemic homeostasis of adult progeny. This way,
soy protein intake in critical stages of development should be cautious.

Case report: A 75-year-old male patient with diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma
of the hypopharynx and pulmonary metastasis 2 years ago, after a failed treatment
with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, started a new class of cancer medication
called Nivolumab—human immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody. Patient had no personal
or family history of diabetes or other autoimmune disease, but after the third cycle
of this medication, he entered the emergency room with hyperglycemia, polyuria and
polydipsia. He did not present criteria for diabetic ketoacidosis, so he was diagnosed
with decompensated diabetes mellitus and sent to the ICU to receive vigorous hydration
and intravenous insulin pump. Investigation about the cause of the onset of diabetes
founded positivity for diabetes antibodies, anti-GAD and anti-ICA, confirming autoimmune
diabetes. Patient has been on intensive insulin therapy since then, with difficult
glycemic control due to great glycemic variability.
Discussion: Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a state of low insulin secondary to
the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, being subdivided into type 1A and 1B. Type
1A affects 5–10% of cases of diabetes and involves genetic and environmental factors
leading to the immune-mediated destruction of beta cells. The main genes involved
in this pathology are in the HLA II system and these alleles can trigger or protect
the body against the onset of this disease. Nivolumab is an antineoplastic immunotherapeutic
that acts by presenting the cancer cells to body defense system to recognize and fight
them. It is known that this medication can develop some serious endocrinological complications,
the most common being thyroid diseases, both hypo and hyperthyroidism, in addition
to hypophysitis and more rarely diabetes. It is unclear why this medication may trigger
diabetes, but it may be related to the patient‘s previous HLA.
Final comments: This class of medication has come to revolutionize cancer treatment
by increasing survival and causing less side effects than conventional treatment.
However, because it was recently approved, physicians should be alert to diagnose
and treat possible related complications that can bring important morbidity to patients.
Informed consent to publish had been obtained from the patient.

The Prednisone is a glucocorticoid (PRD) that has great therapeutic use, but may induce
glycemic changes. The side effects are primarily determined by dosage and time of
use. The objective was to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of PRD on the action
of endogenous insulin in Wistar rats. Normoglycemic adult rats weighing 450–510 g
were divided into 5 groups, differentiated by their daily treatment (18 days) orally,
as the PRD dose used [CONT, PRD1 (0.625 mg/kg), PDR2 (1.250 mg/kg), PRD3 (2.500 mg/kg)
and PRD4 (5000 mg/kg)]. Rats received water and food ad libitum, and on 0, 8 and 16 days
of treatment the fasting glycemia was measured. On the 17th day, the oral glucose
tolerance test (TOTG) was performed, collecting blood for glucose levels at fasting
times (− 1 min) and 30, 60 and 120 min after administration of glucose solution. From
these results, the areas under the partial curve (ASCp) and total (ASCt) were estimated.
The data were statistically analyzed with significance of 5%. On days 8 and 16 of
treatment, compared to the CONT group, there was a glycemic increase in PRD1 (day
8 = 30% and day 16 = 20%) and PRD2 (day 8 = 27% and day 16 = 9%). The PRD1 group showed
higher glycemia than PRD3 on days 8 and 16 (25% and 17%, respectively) and also a
16% increase compared to PRD4 group on day 16. Regarding the TOTG, the time -1 min
showed that the PRD1 group had a higher glycemia than the CONT mice (106 ± 5.8 vs.
87.7 ± 5.7) mg/dL. In the 30 and 60 min times there were no changes in serum glucose,
but in the 120 min time the PRD1 and PRD2 groups had higher glycemia than the CONT
(122.8 ± 15.7 and 120.6 ± 11.6 vs. 93.7 ± 4.1 mg/dL, respectively). The analysis of
the ASCt showed that, even though there were no differences between CONT and PRD4,
this treated group increased the glycemic load (37.8x103 mg/dL) compared to the other
treated groups (PRD1 = 12.2 × 103, PRD2 = 12.2 × 103 and PRD3 = 10.3 × 103 mg/dL).
The glycemic values of ASCp showed increased glycemic load by 36% in ime interval
30–60 min only in the PRD4 group when compared to the CONT. Although lower doses of
PRD have increased glycaemia, the values found are not considered to be harmful. In
larger doses, the glycemia is regulated by good insulin secretion, being evidenced
in the TOTG. However, a dose of 5.0 mg/kg should be used with caution, as it may slow
the secretion and insulin action.

Introduction: Baseline characteristics related to severity of disease can be predictors
of the HbA1c-lowering effect of a treatment.
Aim: The impact of baseline BMI and HbA1c on the efficacy and safety of mealtime fast-acting
insulin aspart (faster aspart).
Methods: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) was assessed in a post hoc analysis of two randomized
phase 3a trials: a 26-week, double-blind, treat-to-target trial with mealtime insulinaspart
(IAsp) in a basal–bolus regimen as the comparator (onset 2), and an 18-week, open-label
trial with basal insulin alone as the comparator (onset 3). All individuals were also
taking metformin.
Results: In this analysis, individuals were grouped by baseline BMI (< 25, 25–30, ≥ 30 kg/m2)
or HbA1c (≤ 7.5, > 7.5 to < 8.0, ≥ 8.0%). In onset 2, the overall change in HbA1c
was non-inferior to faster aspart (n = 345) versus IAsp (n = 344), with an estimated
treatment difference (ETD) (95% CI) of − 0.02% (− 0.15;0.10). In onset 3, overall
change in HbA1c was superior with faster aspart (n = 116) versus basal insulin alone
(n = 120), with an ETD of − 0.94% (− 1.17; − 0.72). The ETD for change in HbA1c in
each trial was similar for all BMI and HbA1c subgroups (Table). No major differences
between treatments were observed in risk of hypoglycemia (Table) or insulin dose across
subgroups in either trial.
Conclusion: Neither baseline HbA1c nor BMI altered the glycemic response to faster
aspart in individuals with T2D (Fig. 1)

Introduction: Fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is an ultra-rapid insulin
analogue being investigated for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Objective: Post-hoc analysis of the impact of baseline body mass index (BMI) and HbA1c
on glycemic control comparing faster aspart and insulin aspart (IAsp).
Methods: 26-week, randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of
faster aspart in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Results: Patients were randomized to double-blind mealtime faster aspart (n = 381),
IAsp (n = 380) or open-label post-meal faster aspart (n = 382); each with insulin
detemir. This post hoc analysis investigated the impact of baseline BMI (subgroups: < 25,
25–30, ≥ 30 kg/m2) and HbA1c (subgroups: ≤ 7.5, 7.5–8.0, ≥ 8.0%) on glycemic control
with mealtime faster aspart and IAsp. In the overall population, change in HbA1c after
26 weeks was non-inferior (0.4% limit) for mealtime faster aspart vs. IAsp, with an
estimated treatment difference (ETD [95% CI]) of − 0.15% (− 0.23; − 0.07). ETD for
change in HbA1c was similar across analyzed BMI and HbA1c subgroups (Table). No major
differences between treatments were observed for severe or blood glucose (BG)-confirmed
hypoglycemia across subgroups (Table). Total daily insulin dose was similar in patients
across all baseline HbA1c groups and the BMI < 25 or 25–30 kg/m2 groups, but was significantly
lower with mealtime faster aspart compared with IAsp in subjects with baseline BMI > 30 kg/m2
(Table).
Conclusion: In conclusion, treatment difference between faster aspart and IAsp for
glycemic control in people with T1D was not affected by baseline BMI or baseline HbA1c

Objective: To demonstrate the usefulness and efficacy of an informative material in
parents of adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) for the detection of eating disorders
Sumary:The prevalence of eating disorders in adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
is increasing. According to studies, about 30% of youth with T1DM has Bulimia Nervosa
(1% in the range between 9 and 13 years, 14% between 12 and 18 years and 34% between
16 and 22 years). In a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro, we perceived in the care
practice that the symptoms of eating disorders appear after the diagnosis of DM and
early insulin treatment. This occurs because the intensive treatment of insulin to
avoid critical complications of DM also promotes weight gain and the consequent dissatisfaction
with body image. Insulin restriction is a symptom of calorie purging that is unique
to people with DM1, called Diabulimia. It may increase the early occurrence of clinical
complications of DM. In the year following the publication of our book called Diabulimia—a
dangerous combination, we try to alert parents and family about the problem from three
psychoeducational sessions of an hour and a half of duration. With the participation
of parents of patients with DM1, a doctor Endocrinologist and 2 Psychologists we performed
3 sessions with the reading of 3 chapters of the book (Better understanding diabetes;
Eating Disorder:do you really know what it is?;Diabulimia-a new ED?) and question
time. After 15 days we made a fourth session to apply a questionnaire that aimed to
recognize Diabulimia symptoms in their children. Number of Parents: 24. Education
level: 78% completed high school and 22% only basic education. Average age of parents:
38 years. DM 1: 24, (18 female and 6 male) Mean age of them: 13.54 years. Mean diabetes
duration: 4.2 years. Average of A1c levels: 11.3%.
Results: 16.66% of the adolescents with DM1 was positively diagnosed with omission
or negligence of insulin doses. 88% of these patients denied the fact of omitting
or skipping insulin dose in order to lose weight.
Conclusion: It is very important also to inform parents about this so dangerous eating
disorder because of the risk of early chronic diabetes complications such as retinopathy
and nephropathy. Education and Prevention in DM and ED is the basis for proper treatment
and it is one of the cornerstones for a better quality of life.

Introduction: Considering the significant increase in diabetes and its metabolic complexity,
especially in childhood and adolescence, Education for self-management of health care
facilitates knowledge and the discovery of abilities: skills necessary for self-care
in the disease. Education is fundamental for the treatment of the patient in the short
and long term.
Objectives: To develop playful and creative activities as a pedagogical strategy in
Food and Nutrition Education.
Methodology: This is an action research in Food and Nutrition Education, which was
developed by teachers and students of the Nutrition Course of UFPE. The study group
is made up of children and adolescents with Diabetes who are accompanied by the outpatient
service of the Hospital das Clínicas of the institution. The work is the result of
a partnership with an Extension Project that has been working in this hospital since
2015: “Playing with Art”. The educational activities are carried out weekly, respecting
the principles of nutritional education and popular education in health, in a playful
way and directed to the demands of the group of children/adolescents and their caregivers.
Results: The educational strategies included activities in operative groups, workshops,
dynamics, conversation wheels, puppet theater, commemorative and staging, minicinema
and educational games. From the accomplishment of these activities, at the time before
the medical consultations, it was possible to create spaces for the expression or
verbalization of fears, yearnings, anxieties and hatred or denial; for the sharing
of feelings and experiences. It also provided knowledge for alternatives of more conscious
food choices, based on doubts about the nutritional treatment of the disease and awareness
of the importance of feeding in this context. At the end of each meeting, the parents
and the children evaluated the satisfaction and acquisition of useful and applicable
knowledge for the different realities.
Conclusion: The use of play strategies to promote better understanding of the subject
Diabetes is seen as a positive methodology by health professionals. The EAN is a constructive
and empowering approach that allows the construction and experience of autonomy; as
well as the discovery of knowledge about feeding for diabetic patients; subsidizing
more conscious food choices.

The relationship between obesity and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is well known, in which
the former predisposes or aggravates the latter. It is believed that patients with
DM might have higher prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and that vitamin D insufficiency
is a risk factor for obesity, thus creating a vicious circle. Vitamin D plays a vital
role in bone metabolism and helps controlling satiety and energy expenditure. Serum
levels lower than 30 ng/mL define its insufficiency. This study aimed to verify the
relationship between vitamin D insufficiency and obesity in patients already diagnosed
with DM. It is a case–control study conducted in 69 patients seen at a DM outpatient
clinic between 2016 and 2018. Those who presented hemophilia, anemia, gastrointestinal
and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, thyroid and renal disorders or took multivitamins
in the past 6 months were excluded. We used a data sheet with social-demographic and
clinical-epidemiological data, laboratory tests, and anthropometric measurements.
Collected data were stored and analyzed using SPSS 14.0 software through Chi square
test using a 5% significance level. Among the 60 patients who had their vitamin D
level tested, 50% had levels of sufficiency and 50% had levels of insufficiency. Among
the 64 patients who had their anthropometric measurements evaluated, 20.3% (n = 13)
had normal BMI (< 24,9 kg/m2); 25.0% (n = 16) were overweight (25–29.9 kg/m2); 28.1%
(n = 18) were obese—class 1 (30–34.9 kg/m2); 21.9% (n = 14) were obese—class 2 (35–39.9 kg/m2),
4.7% (n = 3) were obese—class 3 (≥ 40 kg/m2). Among the 59 patients who had both their
vitamin D level tested and their anthropometric measurements evaluated, 50.85% (n = 30)
presented hypovitaminosis D and 49.15% (n = 29) had levels of sufficiency. Among the
30 patients with hypovitaminosis D, 6.7% (n = 2) had normal BMI, 26.7% (n = 8) were
overweighed, and 66.7% (n = 20) were obese. Among the patients with vitamin D levels
of sufficiency, 31.0% (n = 9) had normal BMI, 24.1% (n = 7) were overweighed, and
44.8% (n = 29) were obese. Therefore, we observed a significant relationship between
vitamin D deficiency and BMI > 24.9 kg/m2 (p = 0.05). Even though there are evidences
that vitamin D deficiency and low calcium intake correlate with obesity development,
the subject is a huge target for discussion, and it remains little known. Finally,
we found a relationship between obesity and deficiency/insufficiency of vitamin D
in patients with DM.

The main etiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is idiopathic. In more
than one-third of these cases, patients have criteria for metabolic syndrome. Alone,
obesity, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a direct and indirect
relationship in the pathophysiology of PAH. The presence of glucagon-like peptide-1
(GLP1) receptors in different organs of our body gives this incretin several pleiotropic
effects, in addition to its already well established role in the treatment of obesity
and T2DM. Ancient studies, in vitro and in animals, have demonstrated that GLP1 is
capable of promoting vasorelaxation of the pulmonary artery. Obese patients with PAH
undergoing bariatric surgery have a significant improvement in the pulmonary status,
even before they lose weight significantly. Considering this and using a weight-neutral
incretin-based therapy, we opted for the use of a DPP4 inhibitor (vildagliptin 50 mg
2×/day) to increase GLP1 levels in a patient with DM2, hypertension, dyslipidemia,
obesity grade I (BMI of 30.2 kg/m2) and PAH. In February/2014, the 74-year-old female
patient had fasting glycemia of 107 mg/dL, A1c 6.2%, and used only glibenclamide 5 mg/day
because she had gastric intolerance to metformin and at that time had some episodes
of hypoglycemia. On the echocardiogram, the patient had a right ventricular systolic
pressure (RVSP) of 45 mmHg compatible with PAH. We switched sulfonylurea for iDDP4
and 6 months after its use, the patient had a fasting glycemia of 111 mg/dL, A1c 6.0%—without
episodes of hypoglycemia—and RVSP of 38 mmHg. During 3 years of follow up, the patient
had a good glycemic control, with stable values and within the normality of RVSP,
without respiratory symptoms related to PAH. In January/2017 the patient had a BMI
of 30.6 kg/m2, fasting glycemia of 112 mg/dL, A1c 6.5% and RVSP of 31 mmHg. The patient
had an improvement in the PAH even without weight loss and maintaining a good glycemic
control, without episodes of hypoglycemia, after starting a medication that increased
her native GLP1 levels. In addition to its efficacy and safety, the use of vildagliptin
has been shown to be a good therapeutic option for patients with T2DM and PAH, but
further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Introduction: The type 1 diabetes is a multifactorial disease that genetic and environmental
factors are necessary for its development. Genome-wide association studies demonstrated
that the ERBB3 gene is one of the major non-HLA loci associated with DM1. This gene
encodes a member of the intracellular protein tyrosine kinase receptor family, which
activates signaling pathways, including PI3 K-AkT and MAPK, thereby regulating cell
survival and proliferation. Furthermore, ERBB3 seems to contribute to the pathogenesis
of type 1 diabetes by modulating the function of antigen presenting cells (APCs),
autoimmunity, apoptosis and production of insulin by the pancreatic beta cells.
Objective: To evaluate the association between the rs2292239 polymorphism in the ERBB3
gene and the susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in a Brazilian population.
Methods: A total of 490 patients with type 1 diabetes (cases) and 598 non-diabetic
individuals (controls) were analyzed. All patients underwent a standard clinical and
laboratory evaluation after signing the informed consent form. The polymorphism was
genotyped through real-time PCR allele discrimination assays (Thermo Scientific Inc).
The dominant, recessive, and additive inheritance models were tested.
Results: Genotypes of the rs2292239 polymorphism were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium
at the controls (P > 0.05). The A/A genotype was more frequent in diabetic patients
than in nondiabetic subjects (P = 0.007). The frequency of the A allele was 39.75%
in the cases and 32.75% in the controls (P = 0.008). In addition, the A allele was
associated with risk for DM1 in the recessive (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.04–2.40, P = 0.031)
and additive (OR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.07–2.62, P = 0.023) after adjustment for high-risk
HLA haplotypes for DM1.
Conclusion: Our data confirm the association of the A allele of the rs2292239 polymorphism
in the ERBB3 gene with the risk for DM1.

Background: It is well established that a more aggressive approach of co-morbid conditions
that occurs almost in parallel with the hyperglycemia is mandatory to avoid or delay
the onset of cardiovascular disease which takes place within two to four times higher
in diabetic subjects than in nondiabetic persons. Some features of the history and
physical examination, such as the anthropometric aspects, can provide us relevant
data on cardiovascular health and prognosis in these patients [1, 2]. (See Table 1)
Table 1: Classification of weight status in adults according to Body Mass Index (BMI)
Objectives: Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the relation between
anthropometric indicators with cardiovascular risk factors, especially systemic arterial
hypertension and lipid profile, in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials/methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between January and June
2017 based on clinical data, physical examination and laboratory tests—fasting blood
glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (A1c) and lipid profile. Patients were classified
having hypertension when diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg and systolic blood
pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg or those taking antihypertensive medications. Anthropometric
data (gender, age, weight and height) were used to calculate the anthropometric indicators
body mass index (BMI = kg/m2) (Fig. 1) and waist-hip ratio (WHR). The optimal WHR
cutoffs were 0.9 and 0.8 for Brazilian men and women, respectively (Table 2) Fig. 1.
Body Mass Index (BMI) Table 2. Cut-off points of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) For men
Low risk Moderate risk Increased risk < 0.95 0.95–1.00 > 1.00 For women Low risk Moderate
risk Increased risk < 0.8 0.8–0.85 > 0.85
Results: We studied 254 patients with an average age of 53 ± 13.5 years and most of
them were male (58%). With sample data, a logistic regression model was applied to
assess the relationship between the anthropometric indicators and cholesterol fractions.
High WHR had a significant association with LDL ≥ 100 mg/dl (p = 0.032), low HDL (≤ 45
women and ≤ 35 men; p = 0.031) and high triglyceride levels (p < 0.005). Among those
with high WHR, 62% had increased levels of LDL; similarly, those with low WHR had
increased levels of LDL in only 10% cases. Moreover, it was observed that the OR of
5.0 to WHR for the occurrence of increased levels of LDL (IC 95%:2.08–16.79) when
compared to low HDL cholesterol. With regard to hypertension, 34% had high blood pressure,
even those taking antihypertensive medications; with respect this group, virtually
the whole, comprised patients with overweight or obese (87%).
Conclusion: Body mass index (BMI) and waist–hip ratio (WHR) have been widely used
to judge overweight and obesity in order further to recognize risks of cardiovascular
disease. While BMI is used as the measurement of overall obesity, WHR is the measurement
of central obesity. In our study, anthropometric indicators were good parameters of
obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia. It‘s important to emphasize that WHR is a
useful, practical and extremely predictive of dyslipidemia in T2D patients, correlates
strongly with visceral fat, phenotypic characteristic associated with insulin resistance

Background: In developing countries, the rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM)
has been linked to the obesity epidemic. In Argentina, the prevalence of DM increased
from 8.4 to 9.8% between 2005 and 2013, as reported by national population-based surveys
of risk factors. As in other low and middle-income countries (LMIC), Argentina carries
a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases. Our health system is facing a critical
shortage of health professionals and resources, making health services for people
with chronic diseases unavailable or low quality. Although there are national programs
to address diabetes care in Argentina, clinical practice recommendations have not
been widely implemented in public primary care clinics (PCCs) in low resource settings
and diabetes care is far from optimal. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions constitute
a promise for health care delivery especially in resource-constrained settings in
developing countries where mobile technology has a high penetration. In many places
in Argentina, people have better access to mobile phones services than to basic services
such as water, electricity, sewage, and sanitation. In a recent systematic review,
we found that mHealth yielded positive health outcomes in diabetes in LMIC because
of improvements in the supply side of health care systems. These improvements were
used as a channel to deliver education, increase patients’ and care givers’ knowledge
and improve health-seeking behaviors and health-related lifestyle decisions. Aims:
To describe the design, implementation and evaluation after 6 month of a diabetes
program (DP), that includes mHealth components in an underserved diabetic population
that attends PCCs in the province of Corrientes in Argentina.
Method: Quasi-experimental design (before and after intervention) with outcome measurements
at baseline and 6 months follow-up. We recruited diabetic patients from 18 PCCs located
in underserved areas in Corrientes. The DP included the following interventions: (a)
A Diabetes Registry (DR) using a mobile application to collect, store, manage and
analyze diabetic patients’ health related data. We used the SANA framework (http://sana.mit.edu/),
a highly customizable, open-source, android-based mHealth information system to develop
the registry. Data collected can be either transmitted online via 3G/4G or stored
offline in the tablet or then synchronized later via Wi-Fi. In addition, the software
allows the surveillance of high risk patients to re-establish care, generate reports
and for further statistical analysis. Training and practice audit with feedback to
health care providers was provided to implement the registry in each PCC. (b) Text
Messaging: A web-based platform was used to deliver customized weekly SMS containing
reminders for medical appointments and educational messages to patients included in
the DR. SMS were previously developed and validated to provide diabetes-related education
and promote medication adherence. c) Training of the primary care team: We developed
workshops on clinical practice guidelines and to provide self-management education.
Educational outreach visits were also conducted.
Results: 935 participants from 18 PCCs around the province of Corrientes were included.
Mean age was 53.7 ± 11.6 years, 62.2% were woman;49.4% withouthealth coverage, 82.2%
had low educational attainment and 88.9% type 2 diabetes. The median time of duration
of diabetes was 4 (IQR 1–10 years). 746 have access to a cell phone and 96.6% accepted
to receive SMS. Sixty percent of the population enrolled accomplished with a 6 months
follow-up visit.
Discussion: Although baseline results showed poor metabolic control and sub-optimal
control of CVD risk factors in our population, the DP showed improvement in process
and outcome indicators in the population with a 6 months follow-up. The use of mHealth
has emerged as an important innovation in LMIC with the potential to strengthen health
systems in underserved settings, improving access to knowledge and information in
diabetic patients and service delivery in primary care teams. Aknowledgments This

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Hypertension are chronic diseases prevalent
in Brazil. In this way, health promotion activities become indispensable, being necessary
to find strategies to support and to cope these conditions. Under this perspective,
the use of health technologies is essential, because it allows the information to
be more extensive, blend in and understood.
Objective: To describe the use of light technologies in health education group for
people with diabetes and hypertension.
Methodology: Case studies about the use of technology in an educational group implemented
in a university located in Fortaleza-Ce-Brazil, in the period from May to July 2017.
There were 13 servers that had diabetes and/or hypertension, being piloted by professors
and scholars from nursing, nutrition and physical education.
Results: The group grew out of an extension project “Health education for people with
chronic disease”, performing five meetings. In the first meeting, the group was welcomed
with details of the proposal and explanation of the themes together. There was recited
a literature of twine, using the regional language about DM and hypertension. In the
second meeting, we played the game True x Myth to inspire the participants’ knowledge
about these diseases, their symptoms and mediate the discussions. The third meeting
on physical activity started with a labor activity and finalized with data exposure
that show the benefits of physical exercises. The fourth meeting, on nutrition, we
used the game menu which consisted of choice for each participant: food figures representing
the food from their menu and routine, in order to facilitate discussion and generate
new knowledge about eating healthy. On the fifth meeting, illustrative tables were
constructed to aid in taking medicines, in order to reduce the forgetfulness of the
pharmacological treatment.
Conclusion: We believe that the use of light technologies contributed for the performance
of the educational group, exchange of experiences and presence of the participants.
The care needs of paths covering innovative strategies for health promotion, allowing
interpersonal relations, as the host, the link, empowerment, among others, are respected
in this process, the authorization of participants with respect to their health.

Background: Thyroid dysfunction (TD) and insulin resistance (IR) are common endocrine
disorders. Studies suggest a bidirectional causal relationship between these conditions.
However, most of them evaluated obese/overweight patients, which can be a confounding
factor. Therefore, to evaluate the relationship of TD and IR in the absence of obesity
is important. Patients with absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance
(IR), like those with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), a rare autosomal
recessive disease, allow a better characterization of this potential relationship.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of IR/diabetes mellitus
(DM) with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4 l) levels in patients
with CGL.
Results: A cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital in Brazilian Northeast, in
2016, that was approved by Walter Cantidio University Hospital of Universidade Federal
do Ceará Ethics Board (approval number 1.360.021). There were included 21 patients.
The mean age was 16.3 ± 11.6 years old (min 3 − max 38 yo), with 66% female. All subjects
had clinical diagnosis for CGL (reduction or absence of subcutaneous adipose tissue
on the face, trunk and limbs, muscle hypertrophy, hepatomegaly, acanthosis nigricans,
phlebomegaly, severe insulin resistence or diabetes and hypertrigliceridemia). The
mean TSH and T4 l levels were, respectively, 2.19 ± 1.62 μIU/mL and 1.14 ± 0.28 ng/dL.
The mean HOMA-IR was 13.3 ± 9.9, (min 0.48max 36.9). There was a trend towards higher
levels of TSH in the presence of altered HOMA-IR, although not statistically significant
(p = 0.206). There was a negative correlation between T4 l levels and HOMA levels
(p = 0.015). DM was present in 65% of the patients, but there was no correlation between
the presence of DM and the levels of TSH and T41.
Conclusion: There was a tendency of CGL patients with severe IR without obesity present
lower levels of T4l and higher levels of TSH.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism are the two most frequently pregnancy‘s
endocrine diseases. Several studies have already established the relationship between
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and thyroid dysfunction resulting in worse maternal
and neonatal outcomes.
Objective: Evaluate the presence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women diagnosed
with diabetes and to correlate with obstetric outcomes.
Methods: One hundred and seventy-five pregnant women with GDM were followed from 2012
to 2016, through a protocol approved by the Endocrinology and High Risk Pregnancy
Service of the Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG, approval number 50724015.3.0000.5149.
The participants signed a free and informed consent term. The analyzed data were obtained
from the medical records. We sought to know and analyze thyroid function, with serum
TSH and free T4 levels, the diagnosis of other comorbidities, anthropometry, physical
examination, obstetric history, use of medications, outcomes and obstetric and neonatal
complications. Then, all data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis with
Microsoft Excel. The results were organized and compared with data from the literature.
Results: The mean age, of the 175 pregnant women followed up at the time of the first
visit, was 32 years old and the average gestational age at the first visit to Endocrinology
was 26 weeks and 4 days. Only 19.88% of them had preconception counseling. The mean
BMI was 27.6 kg/m2, and 40.28% were already obese at pregnancy (BMI > 30). Hypothyroidism
was identified in 17.81% of them, a percentage higher than the one usually observed
in pregnant women without GDM (between 0.2 and 0.6%), which corroborates the data
in the literature, which associates hypothyroidism with GDM. Among the patients with
a previous diagnosis of hypothyroidism (14.49%), the onset of follow-up with the endocrinologist
was also late, with a mean gestational age of 22 weeks and 2 days, which delayed the
dose adjustment of levothyroxine, necessary to reduce unfavorable outcomes. In the
delivery data analysis (n = 152), the high cesarean index (51.97%) was similar to
that observed in high-risk pregnancies conducted in the same institution between 2012
and 2013 (52.78%), however, it was even higher in the group of diabetic pregnant women
with hypothyroidism (69.23%).
Conclusion: The pregnant women studied presented a high prevalence of overweight and
obesity, which reinforces the importance of the nutritional monitoring of these pregnant
women, preferably before pregnancy. The greater occurrence of hypothyroidism in the
group of pregnant women with GDM, especially when compared with literature data (17.8 × 0.6%),
in part, can be explained by the more frequent screening of thyroid dysfunction in
the Endocrinology and high risk prenatal service, but it is also partially related
to the association between GDM and thyroid dysfunction, already demonstrated in other
studies. Further studies are still needed to investigate and clarify this association;
however, the data corroborates favorable the possibility about a universal screening
for thyroid dysfunction in patients with GDM.
A416 Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome associated with decompensated type 1 diabetes
mellitus in young patient: case report

Introduction: It is known that there is a relationship between glycaemia, cellular
metabolism and thyroid hormones. Hence, thyroid hormone resistance syndrome (THRS)
is supposed to have increased pathological effects on cellular metabolism, insulin
role, and glycaemia in relation to diabetes. Despite that, THRS and type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM) have hardly been associated before.
Case presentation: LCB, female, 18 years-old, has a decompensated T1DM, diagnosed
at the age of 4, and presents controversial symptoms of hypo- and hyperthyroidism,
such as tachycardia, osteoporosis, osteopenia, goitre, lowstature and weight-gain.
Moreover, she complains about systemic arterial hypertension and isolated proteinuria,
showing subtle learning difficulties. Her silky exams showed high free thyroxine (T4)
with physiological levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). She reports making
use of insulin analogues to control her diabetes and beta-blockers to control her
tachycardia.
Discussion: The relationship between T1DM and thyroid hormone resistance syndrome
is not clear on scientific literature. However, it is known that THRS is defined by
a mutation on the gene by which cells synthesize thyroid hormone receptors (either
alpha or beta, as a mutation in both is not compatible with life). It is also known
that there are different clinical features on each type of mutation and the patient’s
symptoms (tachycardia and goitre) are more likely to be caused by a beta-receptor
mutation, which was confirmed by genetical exams. As in some tissues the thyroid hormones
are not captured, including in the hypothalamus, free T4 is expected to be elevated,
as there will be a difficulty on negative feedback mechanisms and silky hormone use.
At the same time, her alpha thyroid hormone receptor is highly stimulated, which explains
her tachycardia and high muscular and bone metabolisms. For treating diabetes, it
was installed an insulin-infusion pump, reducing the occurrence of hypo- and hyperglycaemia.
About thyroid-related symptoms, she is in observation and said symptoms are treated
as they appear.
Conclusion: There is not, on literature, case reports about T1DM associated with THRS
as it appears on this patient. Thus, the case is a rare medical condition and is a
therapeutic challenge. Finally, it must be said that it is an important case to report,
as it helps to increase the medical knowledge about the subject.

Introduction:
Case 1 presentation: Patient, 2 years and 5 months, Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (DM1)
diagnosed at the age of 11 months during a hospitalization because of a pneumonia
and evolution into a metabolic acidosis, with a 713 mg/dl glycemic index, confirming
the diabetic ketoacidosis. The anti-island antibody dosage was positive. Regular and
NPH insulin were used. It has evolved with hypoglycemia, the insulin was changed for
detemir and ultrafast insulin. It has kept the glycemic variability. The continuous
infusion of insulin system was used, however, there wasn’t accession to the treatment.
It has been used the glargine and ultrafast insulin without significant hypoglycemia,
but has been keeping the inappropriate Diabetes control.
Case 2: Patient, 1 year and 2 months, Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (DM1) diagnosed at
the age of 11 months. In this case the child presented polydipsia, polyuria, vomiting
and dyspnea. It was hospitalized in the ICU dehydrated in diabetic ketoacidosis. The
examinations have shown metabolic acidosis with an 825 mg/dl glycemia index. In the
etiological investigation, the decarboxylase antibody of the glutamic acid (anti-GAD)
and the anti-island were positive. The patient has used the glargine and the ultrafast
insulin, but has evolved with a huge glycemic variability. This way, he has started
the therapy with the continuous infusion of insulin system and has improved the glycemic
control.
Discussion: The DM1 is a challenge in the pediatric age group, mainly the earlier
diagnosis in infant, in order to avoid the diabetic ketoacidosis. The Diabetes etiologic
diagnosis in children younger than 1 year must include the monogenic effects, specially
during the 6 first months. Between 6 months and 1 year, the auto immune DM1 is more
common. The treatment with insulin in this age group leads to hypoglycemia risks,
so the insulin therapy needs to be individualized. The continuous infusion of insulin
system use is an option in order to improve the metabolic control. Informed consent
to publish had been obtained from the patient.

Introduction: The diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) is a chronic disease which requires
continuing care from patients and family. The effectiveness of the treatment of this
disease is based on the decisions taken by the patients. That’s why it’s very important
that they receive a quality education, fitted on their necessities and provided by
qualified health professionals. Aiming the improvement of the health of the patients
included in the Children Hospital of Brasilia Jose de Alencar’s Diabetes Program,
will be hold the “Learning, Playing, and Growing with Diabetes Day—LPGD Day”, a Diabetes
educational program designed to the patients who present low accession to the treatment
and/or worse control and need a more effective action by the health staff, besides
the family and caregivers, in order to reduce the risks associated to the disease
and its precarious control, improving the treatment accession, disease control and
patients’ quality of life. Goals: 2.1—General goal: Stimulate the self-care in assisted
patients in the Diabetes Program who present a low accession to the treatment, through
the Diabetes education, aiming the improvement of the glycemic control, autonomy and
quality of life.
Materials and methods: Target group Pediatric patients assisted by the Children Hospital
of Brasilia Jose de Alencar’s Diabetes Program who present an unsatisfactory glycemic
control and low accession to the treatment, with constant hospitalization and intercurrence,
as well as their family and caregivers. 10 patients from the Diabetes Program who
present treatment accession difficulty and a bad control of the disease will be chosen.
The selected patients will be assisted by the Program’s multidisciplinary staff and
the day’s activities will be divided in stages. Stage 1: You in the control: The self-care
importance and the glycemia monitoring Stage 2: Healthy feeding is not diet! Stage
3: Nobody is alone! Stage 4: Demystifying the Diabetes treatment. Stage 5: Glycemic
profile evaluation and therapeutic answer.
Conclusion: The LPGD Day was elaborated with the objective of reducing the walls with
the multidisciplinary staff and involve the children and teenagers with Diabetes Type
1 and the families in the treatment.

Tracking of foot at ulceration risk has been a priority in the care planning of individuals
with diabetes as recommended strategies for treatment and follow-up. We aimed to evaluate
the feet of aged individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus regarding the risk of ulceration.
This is a cross-sectional study developed in the Primary Health Care Service of a
city in Ceará, Brazil, including a sample of 254 aged individuals that were randomly
chosen through proportional stratified sampling. We collected data from August 2016
to January 2017 using a form that contains sociodemographic variables and the evaluation
and tracking form of neuropathic pain, loss of protective sensitivity and peripheral
artery disease for the basic care from the Brazilian Society of Diabetes. We obtained
sociodemographic data and those regarding the identification of neuropathic pain through
interviews, while data regarding the components of feet examination were collected
through physical examination following the techniques recommended by Brazilian and
international guidelines with validated instruments. Therefore, we used 10 g Semmes–Weinstein
monofilament and 128 Hz diapason for assessing the loss of plantar protective sensitivity.
To calculate the ankle-arm score and to track the peripheral artery disease, we used
the 8 MHz portable manual doppler sonar. We analyzed data based on the descriptive
and inferential statistics. The following variables were more prevalent: female sex
(71.7%), being married (42.5%), being retired (70.9%), having low income and low educational
level (50.4%), fatigue (67.4%), pain (62.4%), and cramps (61.2%) of moderate intensity
(33.9%). In the feet assessment, we identified dried feet, with cracks and fissures
(96.5%), use of inappropriate shoes (86.2%) and deformities (61.4%). Loss of plantar
protective sensitivity and peripheral artery disease were respectively present in
16.5 and 7.1% of the sample. Regarding risk classification, 43% of the aged individuals
presented risk 1 for the development of ulcerations. There was statistical significance
between risk and sociodemographic variables (age, family income). In conclusion, aged
individuals have important alterations in their feet and a level of risk that might
predispose them to ulcerations and amputations; therefore, we need to implement the
feet evaluation and risk classification as a routine in the care of aged individuals
with diabetes mellitus in Primary Health Care Services.

Introduction: The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is subdivided into hepatic steatosis
(HS) and steatohepatitis, both of which may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular
carcinoma. The prevalence of HS in morbidy obese, pre DM2 and DM2 is 60–90, 38 and
14%, respectively.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of HS in obese candidates for bariatric surgery
with pre DM2 and DM2 and to analyse the transaminases and ferritin levels.
Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study of 243 medical records from the Endocrinology
Outpatient Clinic of Santa Marcelina Hospital, São Paulo—Brazil. The study was performed
from January 2011 to November 2016. Patients were divided into 03 groups: pre DM2
with HS (G1), DM2 with HS (G2) and DM2 without HS (G3). The diagnosis of HS was performed
by ultrasound. We stratified mean values and standard deviations of age, BMI, blood
glucose, HbA1c, AST, ALT and ferritin. All variables were compared among these three
groups. ANOVA test was applied, being significant P < 0.05.
Results: 03 alcoholics patients were excluded. From 243 patients, 69.95% had pre DM2
or DM2. The prevalence of HS was 44.59% in the group with pre DM2 and 37.5% in the
group with DM2 (Table 1).
Conclusion: The absence of elevated transaminase and ferritin levels in obese population
with DM2, pre DM2 and HS indicates that is necessary to apply liver fibrosis risk
scores due to the fact that these patients have a predisposition to adverse developments.

Background: Impaired awareness hypoglycemia (IAH) is a syndrome in which the ability
to detect alerting symptoms are reduced or absent, increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia
and death. In this context, we see the need for identification of patients with this
syndrome.
Aims: The aim of this study was to adapt to Brazilian Portuguese, validate Clarke
and Gold questionnaires. The other objective of this study was to determine the prevalence
of IAH in patients with T1DM attending a tertiary hospital outpatient clinic and to
evaluate the risk factors for IAH.
Methods: Patients with T1DM1 for at least 12 months and older than 18 years have been
invited for the study. Validation of the questionnaires was done according to the
following steps: (1) Authorization of the Authors; (2) Translation of questionnaires
into Portuguese, by two health professionals fluent in English, natives of the Portuguese
language (version 1 and 2); (3) synthesis of the two translations by an evaluating
committee, generating version 3; (4) back translation of version 3 by two native language
translators, forming version 4; (5) comparing versions 3 and 4 with the original questionnaires,
in order to verify the semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalence; (6)
preparation of version 5, in Portuguese, through the modifications judged necessary
according to previous stages; (7) application of version 5 of the questionnaires in
a small number of patients representative of the target public, in order to identify
possible difficulties in the interpretation and understanding of the instruments by
the patients; (8) review and elaboration of the final version of the questionnaires
(version 6); (8) application of the questionnaires (version 6) through supervised
self-administration in 40 patients with T1DM. After all stages of cross-cultural adaptation
process the questionnaires were applied in other 103 T1DM patients, to estimate the
prevalence of IAH and the risk factors associated with severe hypoglycemia.
Results: The Cronbach’s alpha assessed the internal consistency. Clarke Questionnaire
presented a Cronbach’s alpha = 0.73 and Gold presented a Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84.
Values above 0.7 are acceptable. The prevalence of hypoglycemia unawareness was 35.9%
with Clarke questionnaire and 20.38% with Gold questionnaire. The prevalence of at
least one episode ofsevere hypoglycemia in the previous 12 months was 54.36%. Of them,
32% had received intravenous glucose to treat hypoglycemia. Clarke and Gold questionnaires
correlated negatively with the need for EV glucose to treat hypoglycemia when patients
were diagnosed with preserved perception of alert symptoms (r = − 0.613 and r = − 0.34
respectively). IAH was associated with a lower HbA1C, longer DM and lower glomerular
filtration rate.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the Brazilian Portuguese adapted versions of the evaluated
instruments demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties and validity with similar
results. The prevalence of asymptomatic hypoglycemia was high and associated with
lower HbA1C, longer DM and lower glomerular filtration rate. The high prevalence of
asymptomatic hypoglycemia in this population warns of the need for more vigilant care
of these patients in order to reduce morbidity and mortality and these questionnaires
are of great value in this context (Fig. 1)

Background: JBRF, female, 15 years old, diabetic since 9, began follow-up at 10 years.
At this time, she used insulin (0.85 IU/kg/day) and had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
of 11.5%, height in the 95th percentile and pubertal stage M3P3. Pubarche and telarche
occurred at 6 years old when she had an episode of vaginal bleeding, without other
menstrual cycles. At 10 years and 11 months, she developed abdominal pain, increased
transaminases, amylase and triglycerides. After 1 year, her transaminases remained
elevated and hepatomegaly was evident on physical examination and on ultrasonography.
Secondary causes of hepatopathy were excluded and hepatic alteration secondary to
poor glycemic control was diagnosed (Table 1). Transient hepatic elastography (THE)
showed a controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) of 328 dB/m, compatible with 66% of
hepatic steatosis, without hepatic fibrosis detected in FibroScan® (Fig. 1). Over
the past 3 years, Hba1c presented at a mean of 10.7%, 6 episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis
ocurred and high doses of insulin (0.85–1.63 IU/kg/day) were used. She remained in
amenorrhoea (Table 2) and there was reduction of the growth rate (Fig. 2).
Discussion: This is a patient with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1)
and precocious puberty, who developed hepatomegaly, increased transaminases and interrupted
sexual maturation. Mauriac syndrome (MauS) is characterized by hepatomegaly and/or
transaminases alteration, short stature, delayed puberty and cushingoid characteristics
in decompensated DM1 patients. Hepatic glycogenosis, characteristic of MauS, is a
result of prolonged periods of hyperglycemia, followed by periods where insulinization
mediates the conversion of glucose to glycogen. Histopathology of the hepatic tissue
of patients with MauS also show varying degrees of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis.
In this case, the patient presented grade 3 hepatic steatosis, without associated
fibrosis. Hyperglycemia causes direct effects on the pulsatility of the gonadotrophin
releasing hormone or on the responsiveness of LH to it, resulting in hypogonatrophic
hypogonadism.
Conclusions: MauS is a rare condition that results from poor glycemic control in DM1
patients and courses with hepatic changes such as glycogen deposition, steatosis and
liver fibrosis. THE is a noninvasive method capable of simultaneously diagnosing and
graduating such complications. Being alert to the existence of MauS is fundamental,
considering the reversibility of complications. Informed consent to publish had been
obtained from the patient (Fig. 1, 2, 3)

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition that requires continuous
care. Hence, patient follow-up carried out by trained health professionals is an essential
process. One of the ways to establish a professional updating process is to measure
their level of knowledge through valid and reliable tools, such as the Diabetes Self-Report
Tool (DSRT).
Objective: To translate the DSRT into Portuguese, to adapt it to Brazilian culture,
and to evaluate the semantic, idiomatic, experiential, cultural and conceptual equivalence
of the instrument.
Methods: A study developed in Belo Horizonte, MG, between October and November 2016.
The translation and adaptation of the DSRT, originally written in the English language,
involved discussions with a committee of specialized judges from both fields of linguistics
and health. The transcultural translation and adaptation stages of the instrument
comprised four of the five stages recommended in the literature: 1—Initial translation;
2—Synthesis of translation; 3—Retro-translation or translation back to the original
language; 4—Evaluation by the Judges Committee. The data obtained was organized in
Excel, followed by the consistency analysis and specific formulas to determine the
Content Validity Index (CVI). The study was approved by Santa Casa of Belo Horizonte
Institution’s Ethics Board, approval number 1.524.898 and consent was obtained from
participants.
Results: Comparison of the T1-T2 version with the original version resulted in cultural
and linguistic adaptations with the purpose of guaranteeing the effective application
of DSRT adapted to the characteristics of the population and to the Brazilian culture
(Fig. 1). In addition, good semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence
between the final Portuguese version and the DSRT English original were observed.
The judges’ committee was also well accepted for the items evaluated, since the mean
CVI of the instrument was 0.85, and most of the items presented CVI ≥ 0.78, which
is considered good (Table 1).
Conclusion: The adapted DSRT can contribute to the evaluation of the perceived knowledge
of the health professionals about DM in different fields of action in the health services.
In addition, it enables the identification of the most deficient areas of knowledge
and information regarding this disease. Consequently, more assertive actions during
the whole process of training and qualification of the health professional can be
taken (Figs. 1, 2 )

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease, whose complications have
a great socioeconomic impact in quality of life and patient survival.
Objective: Cross-sectional study of the profile of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(DM2) in three general ambulatories of endocrinology, with secondary objective an
evaluation of the frequency of chronic complications.
Method: There were 224 patients, of which 132 were insulin users and 92 were non-users.
Of the total, were evaluated age; glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c); comorbidities such
as dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity; creatinine clearance; duration of disease
and presence of macrovascular complications (myocardial infarction, peripheral arterial
disease, stroke) and microvascular complications (diabetic retinopathy, microalbuminuria);
separating the frequencies between users and non-insulin users. In the analysis, the
Chi square test was used to continuous variables and Mann–Whitney test was used for
quantitative variables.
Results: It was found that the mean age of the insulin users was 64.3 ± 10.8 years
and the non-users 65.5 ± 12.1 years. It was also found that insulin users had a higher
prevalence of dyslipidemia (91.7% × 82.6%, respectively, p-value 0.041), diabetic
retinopathy (58.3% × 27.3%, respectively, p value < 0.001) and creatinine clearance < 60 ml/min
(22% × 9.8%, respectively, p value 0.019) (Table 1); and a higher body mass index
(BMI) value (30.6 ± 6.5 × 28 ± 7, respectively, p-value 0.004) and systolic blood
pressure (146.6 ± 27.7 × 131 ± 21, respectively, p value 0.024) compared with patients
not insulin users (Table 2), with statistical difference. Other variables evaluated,
such as the presence of hypertension and macro complications, are also more prevalent
in insulin users, but without statistical significance. The duration of the disease
was also higher in insulin users, with statistical significance (p value < 0.001).
The value of the last HbA1c was found to be higher in insulin users compared to non-users,
with values above 9% with a prevalence of 22.7% × 1.1%, respectively, and below 7%
with a prevalence of 26.6% × 73%, respectively, with statistical difference (p value < 0.001)
(Table 3).
Conclusion: Patients not insulin users are better disease handling, but also have
a shorter time of disease and fewer complications. It was found that insulin users
patients, however, have worst disease control and increased presence of complications

Background: The prednisone (PRD) is a glucocorticoid that may lead to the development
of temporary hyperglycemia. Moreover, the most individuals with mild diabetes do not
known their own pathophysiological conditions, and may use PRD. The objective was
to evaluate the effects of PRD in mild diabetic rats by biochemical and immunological
biomarkers. Mild diabetes was neonatally induced with streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) in
male rats and its glycemia confirmed at 75 days of age by oral glucose tolerance test
(OGTT). The rats were separated into 4 groups: control (C), treated control C + PRD
(oral treatment of 1.25 mg/kg/day PRD); diabetic DM (mild diabetes) and treated diabetic
DM + PRD (mild diabetes, treatment with same dose as C + PRD group). Untreated groups
received vehicle, adjusted volume according to body weight. The treatment daily for
21 days and it were weekly measured the body weight, food and water intake, and glycemia.
In the 3rd week of treatment, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance
test (TTI) were performed, area under the glycemic curve (ASC) values were calculated.
In the 21st day, the rats were killed and the blood was collected for serum biochemical,
leukogram and immunoglobulin G determinations. All data was statistically evaluated
with 5% significance.
Results and conclusions: The body weight decreased in DM and DM + PRD groups at about
27% in all measures. However, the DM + PRD group, compared to C group, showed food
intake increasing at 2nd and 3rd week (18%); and glycemia in all weeks of treatment
(51%). Also, the same group increased the number of total leukocytes (30%), lymphocytes
(19%) and neutrophils (200%); but decreased the levels of triglycerides (21%), high-density
lipoprotein (8%) and very low-density lipoproteins (10%). The diabetic groups showed
high glycemic values in timepoints 30 and 60 min of the DM group (201 and 211 mg/dL,
respectively); and 30, 60 and 120 min of the DM + PRED group (275, 258 and 161 mg/dL,
respectively) in OGTT, and these results were also reflected in the increasing of
ASC. The ITT data show a decreasing of glucose levels in timepoints 5, 10 and 15 min
in all groups, but the DM + PRD rats showed higher values compared to other groups.
We conclude the use of prednisone is not recommended to glucose intolerant individuals,
and should be replaced in order not to aggravate this condition.

Caloric restriction has been shown to be an excellent non-drug intervention in the
fight against metabolic diseases in different species, from rodents to mammals. However,
data on caloric restriction in humans are not well established, much less in individuals
with type 2 diabetes mellitus, requiring more complex and detailed studies in order
to really understand the mechanism of action of this intervention. Using personalized
and rigidly controlled nutritional approaches, we submitted subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus with metabolic decompensation to caloric restriction of 25% for 27 days at
the Clinical Research Unit of Hospital das Clínicas, Ribeirão Preto. The results of
the treatment showed that subjects submitted to these protocols presented reduction
of fasting blood glucose levels in 56.9%, accompanied by the reduction of 15.7% of
Hb1Ac. Using the Hyperinsulinemic Euglosemic Clamp technique, we observed a 62.9%
increase in glucose infusion rate (GIR), comparing Clamp results at the beginning
and at the end of treatment. This response is corroborated with the results obtained
by HOMA-β and HOMA-IR, which presented an increase of 508.9% and a reduction of 59.6%
respectively. Total cholesterol levels decreased 34.4% along with triglyceride values
49.7%. The inflammatory process measured by C Reactive Protein presented a fall of
60.9%. On average, participants in the treatment had a body weight reduction of 8.0%.
The interesting thing is that the reduction of weight loss is related to the reduction
of fat mass only 12.1% with the maintenance of lean mass. Consistent with the metabolic
results, we also observed that all individuals with arterial hypertension presented
reduction systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduced to the ideal levels 31.0 and
27.7%, respectively. Our results demonstrate that controlled and personalized dietary
restriction is able to reduce glycemic and lipid levels in addition to reversing systemic
arterial hypertension. Future experiments are being done to elucidate the molecular
mechanisms of action of caloric restriction in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

M.P.S., a 24-year-old woman, insulin dependent, with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)
had both anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and anti-islet autoantibodies positives
at diagnosis 13 years ago. 4 years after diagnosis, serum levels of thyroid stimulating
hormone (TSH) e free thyroxine (T4) were compatible with hypotireoidism and there
was positivity for anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab), thus diagnosed with
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. At the age of 17, she presented Idiopathic Sudden Hearing
Loss (ISHL), characterized by sudden sensorineural hearing loss, right ear temporary
tinnitus, and left ear permanent tinnitus, proven by serial tonal audiometries and
electrocochleography. Further tests were carried out to exclude other etiologies.
T1DM occurs as a result of an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and
it is believed that the main genetic determinants are on chromosome 6p211.3, related
to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR3 and DR4, variable number of repeated frequencies
of insulin gene, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), and Protein
tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22). Moreover, it is believed that
the polymorphism A49G of CTLS- 4 gene is associated with other autoimmune diseases,
so that up to 30% of T1DM cases are related to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Graves’ Disease,
Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis, Pernicious Anemia, Celiac Disease, Addison‘s Disease,
Vitiligo, Myasthenia Gravis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There has been found a relation
between the CTLA-4, PTPN22, and HLA DR3 and DR4 genes and the development of thyroid
disease in patients with T1DM, so that the prevalence of thyroid antibody positivity
in patients with T1DM reaches 30%, in which 80% will develop the disease. Regarding
ISHL, the presence of an autoimmune disease seems to increase the frequency of positivity
for antibodies against inner ear antigens. Even though it is a controversial issue
on the literature, there are some reports of diseases such as Cogan’s syndrome, polyarteritis
nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Berger’s disease, Sjögren’s
syndrome, Behcet‘s syndrome, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and others,
correlated with ISHL, especially on young people. Autoimmunity is the pathological
basis of T1DM and its relationship with diseases presenting interconnected immunological
mechanisms, as in this case, has been shown to be increasingly frequent.

Case report: SCM, female, school child, has been attending the Diabetes Service since
2011, with adequate glycemic control. Previously healthy, family history of a parent
with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (T1DM) and Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis (HT). Initial tests
with normal thyroid function, antithyroid antibodies and screening for celiac disease
are negative. In 2014, patients developed irritability, worsening school performance
and poor glycemic control. At the time, tests showed TSH < 0.011, anti-TPO 21 (VR < 9),
TRAb 2.2 (VR < 1.75), T4L 2.1 (VR 0.7–2.1), confirmed Graves disease (DG) and started
methimazole. US of thyroid showed irregular thyroid with heterogeneous texture. Patient
evolved with improvement of the symptoms, with decision to suspended of methimazole
in July/2016. In February/2017, patient asymptomatic, but with TRAb positive and TSH
suppressed, being restarted methimazole.
Discussion: The autoimmune nature of T1DM was confirmed by the detection of autoantibodies
against pancreatic islet cells. Endocrine disrupters include genetic and environmental
factors. Autoimmunity can affect other organs, resulting in autoimmune polyendocrine
syndromes (APS). SPA type 3 (APS-3) involves the association of autoimmune thyroid
disease (ATD) with other autoimmune disorders, and one of the most common is T1DM.
About one-third of T1DM patients manifest APS at diagnosis or throughout disease progression.
In general, T1DM is the first manifestation of APS. In patients with APS-3, it is
estimated that 20–30% develop T1DM. The prevalence of ATD in patients with T1DM is
two to four times higher than in the general population and usually manifests with
HT and less frequently DG. Hyperthyroidism should be suspected in T1DM patients with
difficulty maintaining glycemic control, in addition to the classic signs and symptoms
of hyperthyroidism. This course has an increased metabolism and stimulates gluconeogenesis,
glycogenolysis, lipolysis, reduced insulin sensitivity and increased glucose absorption,
justifying metabolic worsening and increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Final comments: Patients with T1DM have a higher risk of developing other autoimmune
diseases, including with an impact on metabolic control. ATD screening is recommended
for diagnosis. The antithyroid antibodies usually appear during the clinical course
of diabetes, which justifies assessing thyroid function annually in patients with
negative antibodies and each 6 months if antibodies positive. In these cases or goitre,
annual thyroid ultrasound should be performed. Informed consent to publish had been
obtained from the patient.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased arterial stiffness
by reducing aortic distensibility, affecting central hemodynamics, cardiac overload
and blood pressure.
Objective: To compare peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters between type 1
and 2 diabetics.
Methods: Eighteen patients with DM were allocated in 4 groups: women with type 1 DM
(1-DM; n = 4), with age of 58.2 ± 3.8 years and BMI of 26.1 ± 1.0 kg/m2; women with
type 2 DM (2-DM; n = 6), with age of 60.1 ± 4.0 years and BMI of 28.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2;
men with type 1 DM (1-DM; n = 5), with age of 59.8 ± 5.2 years and BMI of 23.9 ± 1.2 kg/m2;
men with type 2 DM (2-DM; n = 3), with age of 59.0 ± 6.0 years and BMI of 25.4 ± 1.8 kg/m2.
Fasting glycemia, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic (SAP), diastolic (DAP) and
mean arterial pressure (MAP), central systolic pressure (cSP), central diastolic pressure
(cDP), central pulse pressure (cPP), total vascular resistance (TVR) and pulse wave
velocity (PWV) were obtained using a noninvasive method (pulse wave analysis by oscillometric
method).
Results: The 1-DM women showed higher fasting glycemia (140.1 ± 22.7 mg/dL) than in
2-DM women (137.9 ± 18.5 mg/dL; p = 0.004), 1-DM men (161.6 ± 20.3 mg/dL; p = 0.022)
and 2-DM men (124.5 ± 26.3 mg/dL; p < 0.001). The same results were also observed
in relation to HbA1c in 1-DM women (9.4 ± 0.6%) when compared with 2-DM women (6.9 ± 0.5%;
p = 0.010), 1-DM men (7.4 ± 0.5%; p = 0.037) and 2-DM men (5.9 ± 0.7%; p < 0.001).
The 1-DM men presented higher levels of SAP (140.4 ± 17.6 mmHg) in comparison with
2-DM men (124.0 ± 2.3 mmHg; p = 0.035). Similar results were obtained for MAP (107.6 ± 14.3 mmHg),
TVR (1.3 ± 0.2 mmHg/ml), cSP (132.6 ± 15.3 mmHg) e cPP (39.4 ± 7.0 mmHg) in 1-DM men
in comparison with 2-DM men (95.0 ± 3.1 mmHg; p < 0.05), (1.1 ± 0.1 mmHg/ml; p < 0.05),
(113.0 ± 8.0 mmHg; p < 0.05) and (29.0 ± 7.0 mmHg; p < 0.05), respectively. No significant
alterations were observed between the groups of the present study in relation to PWV.
Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that 1-DM women have significant hyperglycemia in
comparison with all groups. Independent of cardiovascular morbidities, the central
hemodynamics parameters and vascular resistance are higher in 1-DM men than in 2-DM
men, without changes on central hemodynamics parameters in both groups of diabetic’s
women

Background: Epidemiological studies provide convincing evidences for a significant
association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and mild cognitive impairment
or dementia, and furthermore suggest that the T2DM is a significant risk factor for
the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The studies on post-mortem human brain
tissue provide solid evidences that the AD is associated with fundamental abnormalities
in the mechanisms of insulin/IGF signaling, which are highly correlated with the development
and the progression of structural, molecular and biochemical lesions, correlated with
dementia. In spite of the abnormalities noted in the AD share common characteristics
with the type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM, they are, nevertheless, distinct
by the dual presence of trophic factor deficiencies and trophic factor’s receptor
resistance, therefore the term “type 3 diabetes”, that accurately reflects the fact
that the AD represents a form of diabetes that engages selectively the brain and has
molecular and biochemical characteristics that overlap with T1DM and T2DM. This study
aims to identify alterations in the blood glucose levels in outpatients with the diagnostic
of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Methods: 125 outpatients with the diagnostic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) according
to criteria proposed by NINCDS-ADRDA (2011), followed-up in a geriatrics clinic, had
their glucose seric levels assessed.
Results: 54 (43.2%) patients presented alterations of the glucose levels, of which
38 (30.4%) in pre-diabetic condition and 16 (12.8%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM).
Conclusion: There is in this sample of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) a consistent
alteration of the blood glucose levels, observed in more than 43% of the patients,
a fact that reinforces the need of prospective studies that measure the strength of
this association

Case report: A postmenopausal patient with overlap syndrome (scleroderma, antiphospholipid
antibody syndrome and Sjögren), diagnosed in 2013 with diabetes mellitus, with glycemia
400 mg/dL and Body Mass Index 16 kg/m2, using azathioprine and prednisone. Initially
prescribed insulin at the dose of 1 IU/kg. Six months later she was hospitalized due
to lack of glycemic control. Due to the high doses of insulin used, hypothesis of
type B insulin resistance (IR) was proposed, despite anti-insulin receptor negative.
Intravenous insulin was made with minimal impact on glycemia. She underwent pulse
therapy with methylprednisolone followed by the use of azathioprine, with no response.
She was followed up in an outpatient clinic using high doses of insulin (1800 IU/day),
with inadequate glycemic control. In December/2015, she presented severe hypoglycemia
and, from then on, improved glucose levels, without insulin until July/2016, when
was admitted with weight loss and return of hyperglycaemia, requiring high doses of
insulin. Re-dosed anti-insulin receptor antibody, this time strongly positive. Pulse
therapy was performed with cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone, with no response.
Due to social conditions, psychiatric disorder, multiple infections, rheumatology
team counter-indicated future immunosuppressive therapies. Patient continues with
glycemic control, occasionally with paradoxical hypoglycemia in the morning.
Discussion: The case refers to a patient with type B IR, who presented a transient
episode of spontaneous remission of the disease. This rare syndrome is an autoimmune
phenomenon caused by polyclonal IgG antibodies directed against insulin receptors.
Until 2012, report of 67 cases in the world. A number of autoimmune diseases can induce
these autoantibodies. The antibody binds to the insulin receptor and can have two
actions: inhibition or stimulation. When at low titers, autoantibodies appear to act
as partial agonists and result in hypoglycemia; when in high titers, there is apparently
a down-regulation of the receptor response, which results in hyperglycemia. A variety
of immunosuppressive agents are used to induce remission. Spontaneous recovery of
euglycemia, without therapeutic intervention, is not uncommon.
Final comments: Because it is a rare disease, there is no standardization for its
diagnosis and treatment. The treatment strategy should be individualized based on
the other demands of the patient. Informed consent to publish had been obtained from
the patient.

Background: Different studies suggested that pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM) is associated to increased risk of obstetric complications, congenital
abnormalities and neonatal morbi-mortality. These outcomes are mainly associated to
poor metabolic control since the preconception period to latest gestation.
Aims: To evaluate gestational and neonatal outcomes in T1DM pregnant women attended
in a Reference Diabetes and Pregnancy Regional Center and to correlate the metabolic
control before and during pregnancy to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study which enrolled T1DM pregnant women from Jan/2010
to Dec/2015. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from a care protocol performed
in medical visits. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was performed monthly (Immunoturbidimetry,
reference normal value: 4.8–5.9%).
Results: 102 pregnancies of 94 T1DM patients were included. The patients mean age
was of 23.5 ± 5.0 years. Of the sample, 84.3% were Caucasian, 19.6% had preeclampsia,
14.1% had diabetic nephropathy and 30.1% had retinopathy. Of these 52.8% reported
a family history of systemic arterial hypertension and 52% familiar diabetes. During
the gestational period, HbA1c values progressively decreased, demonstrating improvement
in metabolic control during pregnancy (HbA1c prior, initial and final: 9.4 ± 2.2,
8.6 ± 1.8 and 7.1 ± 1.2% respectively, p < 0.0001). There was also an initial HbA1c
difference between women who had abortion and those who did not (10.3 ± 2.3% vs. 8.5 ± 1.7%,
p = 0.04). Regarding the weight gain during pregnancy: 37% was adequate, 35.8% was
insufficient and 27.2% was excessive. Concerning the neonatal outcomes 23.1% had fetal
macrosomia, 69.2% were at-term and 19.3% presented congenital abnormalities, mainly
cardiac diseases. There were no differences between the presence of macrosomia or
congenital abnormalities and HbA1c (previous, initial or final).
Conclusions: Our data suggest that T1DM pregnant patients with elevated HbA1c values
have a greater incidence of abortion. Nevertheless, a significant improvement of glycemic
control during pregnancy was evidenced in our sample. Additionally, our results emphasize
the importance of the good metabolic control since pre-conception to reduce maternal
and fetal adverse outcomes.

Currently, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the major chronic noncommunicable
diseases that affect humanity. It is an important independent risk factor for coronary
artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease and heart failure. This fact justifies
the relevance of identifying people with DM who are at greater risk for macrovascular
complications. In order to stratify this type of risk, the most appropriate calculation
tool is the UKPDS calculator, which estimates the risk of CHD and fatal or non-fatal
stroke in patients with type 2 DM. A descriptive cross-sectional and quantitative
study was conducted in the months between March, and May 2017. The data collection
was performed by analyzing the medical records identifying the variables required
for the UKPDS. The sample was consisted of 404 medical records and the patients were
selected according to the following inclusion criteria: to be registered in a Family
Health Center; to be diagnosed with type 2 DM; been utilizing the public health service
for at least 2 years; to have the test results recorded in the medical record. Among
the sample, 228 users were women and 176 were men. It was verified the predominance
of users in the age group between 50 and 70 years. In addition, only 10.3% of them
are regular smokers, while 36.1% are ex-smokers. The last glycated hemoglobin test
recorded in medical records showed an average value of 8.6%. Regarding the time of
the diagnosis of DM, 40.9% presented the diagnosis between 1 and 10 years; 23% between
11 and 20 years; and 36.8% for more than 20 years. When calculating the patients’
cardiovascular risk, it was identified that 39.5% are at high risk of having a cardiovascular
event in 10 years; 26.9% had intermediate risk and 33.6% had low risk. This study
shows the importance of using the UKPDS risk calculator for people with type 2 DM
in order to formulate strategies for changes in modifiable risk factors and to avoid
further morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the results of this research will serve
as a subsidy for the development of the Supported Self-Care model, as a strategy capable
of empowering these users to self-manage their health, in order to reduce or minimize
the type 2 DM’s complications and positively influence in the life quality and expectancy.

Introduction: The inflammatory response triggered during obesogenesis induces a vascular
injury which began endothelial disturbances, culminating in atherosclerosis. The anti-inflammatory
properties of omega 3 fatty acids (n3) could be induced by its receptor GPR120, however,
without investigation in the vascular tissue.
Objective: To describe the role of n3 (C18:3) from flaxseed oil, through its receptor
GPR120, on the inflammation and endoplasmatic reticulum stress process in the aorta
of obese and diabetic type 2 mice.
Methods: Swiss e LDL−/− male mice, were fed during 8 wk with standard rodent diet
(CT group) or high-fat diet (HF group). After this period, the CT and HF groups were
maintained in the same diets. A part of animals from HF diet was fed with a new diet,
substituted in 10% of lard by flaxseed oil, rich in n3 (52.3%). These new groups were
treated for another 8 weeks. After this period, we carried out food intake, weight
gain, insulin sensitivity (ITT) and glucose tolerance (GTT) as physiological parameters.
The aorta gene expression was measured by RT-qPCR and proteins were identified by
Western Blot analysis. Our targets were proteins involved in pathways such as insulin
signaling, inflammation and reticulum stress. The n3 bioavailability and tissue incorporation
was attested by mass spectrometry. The immunohistochemistry identified GPR120 in the
endothelial structure.
Results: On arterial wall, the anti-inflammatory action exhibited by n3 from flaxseed
oil on both experimental mice models were evidenced by IL1β, TNFα, JNK and IĸBα proteins
reduction. This phenomenon was accompanied by reduction of PERK, eIF2α, IRE1α and
XBP1 s proteins. The insulin signaling was reestablished with increment on IR, IRS1
and AKT phosphorylation. There was systemic metabolic improvement with increased glucose
and insulin tolerance and sensitivity. The GPR120 was activated by n3, which recruited
b-arrestin2. The lipidomics shown n3 endothelial incorporation. The immunohistochemistry
attested GPR120 on arterial wall and, surprisingly, on surface of infiltrated macrophages.
Consecutively, n3 drives macrophages polarization to M2 antiinflammatory profile,
targeted by Iba antibody.
Conclusion: In fact, omega 3 fatty acids probably will not reverse an pre-existent
atheroma, however, the results of this work clearly appoints to the high capacity
of n3 fatty acids into decrease the risk development of the cardiovascular disease,
with epidemiological behavior. To the first time we demonstrated the mechanistic prevention
role of n3 fatty acids related to atherogenesis, controlling the infiltrated macrophages
polarization in the aorta. This work reinforces the protective capacity of food.

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has an increasing incidence and high morbidity
and mortality. Treatment is complex and requires frequent adjustments of insulin doses
and electrolytes. After an adverse event, we implemented a protocol of DKA tracking
through ketonuria and treatment with support of a web platform application that, according
to weight, glycemia, electrolytes and acid–base balance, suggests the doses of insulin,
the hydroelectrolytic intake and the interval of the exams, following the guidelines
of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes.
Objective: To describe the incidence of DKA in our institution and the impact of the
application on the treatment of these patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective comparative analysis of the hospitalizations
by DKA, before (2010–2015) and after (2016–2017) of the beginning of the protocol.
In cases with detailed information on glycemic evolution, we compared the proportion
of blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dl, between 181 and 250 and above 250 during the
first 24 h of hospitalization, on the second and third day of treatment.
Results: Between 2010 and 2017, there had 46 hospitalizations per DKA, of which 18
were after the initiation of the protocol. The diagnosis of DKA increased from 4.7
to 9 cases/year and the proportion increased from 0.09 to 0.25 cases for every 1000
admissions (P < 0.05). There were no deaths. In the patients included in the protocol,
47% presented infection, 41% due to omission of insulin dose. There were 2 cases of
SGLT2 inhibitor use and 2 cases related to insulin pump problems and one case due
to initial diagnosis of diabetes. For comparison of glycemic control, 10 cases were
included before and 16 after the beginning of the protocol. After implantation, the
proportion of blood glucose levels below 70 mg/dl in the first 24 h decreased from
3.5 to 1.5% (P < 0.05). There was no variation in the proportion of blood glucose
in the target range. Between the 2nd and 3rd day of hospitalization, there was a reduction
in the proportion of glycemia above 250 mg/dl from 43 to 31% (P < 0.05). No case of
severe neurological or metabolic complication was observed among inpatients since
the beginning of the protocol.
Conclusion: The implantation of a ketonuria DKA protocol was associated with an increased
diagnosis of ketoacidosis and treatment with an application allowed the reduction
of hypoglycemia in the first 24 h of hospitalization and reduction of rebound hyperglycemia
in the days following treatment.

Introdution: Learners are faced with the challenges of a constantly growing knowledge
base, combined with multiple, competing information sources. There are many technologies
currently being used in diabetes education, including podcasts, which are often shared
in SoundCloud. Podcasts are audio files distributed by way of the Internet to share
information asynchronously. In this sense, SoundCloud is a social audio platform launched
in 2008 that allows users to create and share sounds across the web. So, music and
audio creators use SoundCloud to share their content with a global audience, as well
as receive detailed access listener statistics and feedback from the SoundCloud community.
Objetives: This work aimed to analyze the general characteristics and metrics of podcast
production and podcast sharing on a educational diabetes page in the social network
SoundCloud.
Methods: During 1 year (July 2016 to July 2017), podcasts with information about several
subjects of diabetes were recorded on the Campus Radio 99.7 FM. For preparation of
each podcast, first a literature review was made to choose the theme based on the
Guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes, or data of the International Diabetes
Federation (IDF), or papers with updates about diabetes. After choosing the theme
a short text for each podcast was written using a language easy to understand, but
without losing the scientific quality of subject explored in the podcasts. Then the
audios were recorded on 99.7 FM and transformed into podcasts in mp3 format. The Diabetes
Diamantina page on SoundCloud was used to share one podcast per week (Fig. 1). Once
a month, the following post metrics were recorded: plays, likes, comments, reposts,
and downloads. Data were analyzed and described.
Results: For a year there were 37 podcasts shared on Soundcloud (Fig. 2). The podcasts
were played online 1502 times and received 62 likes, 1 comment, 1 repost, 1 download
and 14 followers (Fig. 3).
Conclusion: The results of this research evidenced the experience with the production
and use of podcasts in diabetes education. In this sense, research indicates that
traditional methods of diabetes education has had limited effectiveness and suggest
that different educational approaches be explored. So, in our research podcasts were
a valuable method for sharing idea. But, next steps include conducting new studies
with to understand more about the use ot the podcast. Apoio: Proexc/Proace UFVJM (Figs.

Background: The gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy
(CAN) are tests that evaluate the heart rate variability (HRV) during deep breathing,
Valsalva maneuvers, orthostatism, and orthostatic hypotension [1–4]. The addition
of 3 tests of analysis in the frequency-domain (spectral analysis) to the traditional
4 tests, totaling 7 tests, has been used. However, no consensus exists regarding the
need for or recommendation of 7 tests instead of the traditional 4 tests [1-4].
Objective: This study evaluated the value of spectral analysis in patients with type
2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) without signs or symptoms of autonomic dysfunction and without
CAN defined by the traditional 4 tests (Ewing).
Methods: Patients with DM2 who reported no exercise intolerance and who had no known
autonomic dysfunction and no postural hypotension or resting tachycardia were selected.
First, the tests evaluating HRV during deep breathing, Valsalva maneuver, and orthostatism
were performed. Definite CAN was diagnosed in the presence of ≥ 2 abnormalities [1–4].
Spectral analysis of HRV (spectral amplitude in the three bands: very low-frequency,
low-frequency, and high-frequency) was performed on patients without definite CAN.
Next, CAN was defined as the presence of ≥ 3 abnormalities and incipient CAN was assumed
when 2 abnormalities were present [3]. A control group without DM, which was similar
in terms of sex, age and BMI, was studied.
Results: Forty-five patients (32 women and 13 men) aged ≥ 40 years, with a mean BMI
of 28 kg/m2 and diagnosed with DM2 at least 3 years ago, were included. The mean value
of the last HbA1c was 8%. Among 8 patients with initially possible CAN (i.e., 1 altered
traditional test), one had 1 and three had 3 abnormal spectral analysis tests, permitting
the diagnosis of incipient and definite CAN, respectively. Among the 37 patients without
any altered traditional test, in spectral analysis, four patients had 1 altered test
and two other patients had 2 altered tests. The latter patients were diagnosed with
incipient CAN. None of the subjects of the control group had any altered spectral
analysis test (100% specificity).
Conclusion: Among patients with DM2 without signs or symptoms of autonomic dysfunction
and without definite CAN by the traditional tests (Ewing), spectral analysis permitted
the diagnosis of CAN in 13.3% (incipient in 3 and definite in 3), with 100% specificity.
Compliance with Ethical Standards The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee
of our institution. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants
included in the study.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder, one of the complications
being the diabetic foot, characterized by the presence of ulcerations precipitated
by diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease [1]. Purpose of the study to
perform the vascular and neurological evaluation of people with type 2 DM from a municipality
in the South of Minas Gerais and to classify the risk of developing diabetic foot.
Methodology: Descriptive cross-sectional study with a sample of 100 volunteers with
DM2 enrolled in the e-SUS of the municipal health services. Data collection took place
between March and June 2017, using a structured questionnaire, based on the criteria
of the Manual of the Diabetic Foot of the Ministry of Health, which includes: sociodemographic
and clinical data; vascular assessment such as staining, temperature, palpation of
the posterior and pediatric tibial pulses, verification of signs of venous insufficiency
such as edema and varicose veins; neurological evaluation through tactile sensitivity
with monofilament of 10 g, vibration sensitivity with 128 Hz tuning fork and Aquileu
tendon reflex with reflex hammer. In addition, it allowed to classify the risk of
Diabetic Foot, in which 0—without PSP (Loss of Sensitivity Protective of feet) and
without DAP (Peripheral Arterial Disease, 1—PSP with or without deformity, 2—DAP with
or without PSP, 3—history of ulcer or amputation Ethical assessment: Project was approved
by Institutution‘s Ethics Board of the Federal University of Alfenas, number 55954816.1.0000.5142.
Results: 67% are women and have a mean age of 63.60 ± 12.01 years the time of diagnosis
of DM was on average 10.89 ± 0, the mean blood glucose was 156.21 ± 63.83 mg dl, 7%
reported having a history of ulceration and 2% of amputation. In the vascular evaluation,
22% with altered skin color, 86.3% of these bluish, with 92% with normal temperature,
44% have venous insufficiency, 19% with edema and 52% with varicose veins, the mean
number of volunteers with the posterior tibial and pedicle pulses of both feet present
was 80 ± 1.82, decreased 19.75 ± 2.21 and absent 0.25 ± 0.5 In the neurological evaluation,
24% had altered tactile sensitivity, 26% absent and 49% with alteration in the Achilles
tendon reflex. Risk classification: 58% with risk 2, 20% risk 0, 15% risk 1, while
7% with risk 3.
Conclusion: Study showed that a considerable number of volunteers have vascular and
neurological changes in the feet, contributing to a higher frequency risk 2 in developing
diabetic foot.

Introduction: Oxidative stress (OS) is characterized by imbalance between harmful
free radicals and the body’s mechanisms to efficiently detoxify them. Diabetes is
a multifactorial disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and there is increasing
evidence for the role of OS in development of many diseases, including cancers, cardiovascular
diseases and diabetes. In addition, the possible role of vitamin D as antioxidant
in diabetes is discussed.
Aim: The objective of this randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial was to assess
the effect of the vitamin D supplementation on metabolic and OS biomarkers in type
2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: The participants (n = 31; age 46 ± 6.45 years; sex 21/10 female/male) with
T2DM were enrolled in this study in two groups. One group received one capsule/week
of vitamin D (50.000 U) or placebo for 90 days. At the beginning and after intervention,
laboratory analyses (biochemical and OS markers) were performed. After fasting for
12 h, the subjects underwent the following laboratory blood analysis: glucose, lipid
profile, uric acid, and C-reactive protein (CRP) which were evaluated by a biochemical
autoanalyzer (Dimension Dade AR; Dade Behring), insulin and vitamin D were evaluated
by MEIA (AxSYM, Abbott Laboratory, Abbott Park, IL, USA). Advanced oxidation protein
products (AOPP) were determined in the plasma using the semiautomated method described
by Witko-Sarsat. Analysis of plasma hydroperoxide concentrations was evaluated by
two methods (tertbutyl hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence and FOX assay). This
study was conducted according to the principles of the Helsinki, and the study protocol
was approved by the ethics committee of the University (CAAE: 41718014.9.0000.5231).
Kruskal- Wallis with post hoc Dunn’test was performed to verify differences across
intervention (placebo or vitamin D). Graph Pad Instat 3 version was used for evaluations.
Results: As expect, there was a significant increase in vitamin D levels in vitamin
D group after intervention (p < 0.0001). Compared with placebo group, after 90 days
of intervention, there was a significant reduction in AOPP (p = 0.05) and hydroperoxides
levels (p = 0.008), and a trend to decrease in FOX levels (p = 0.08) in the vitamin
D group. In the placebo group the analyses remained unchanged after this period.
Conclusion: In conclusion, 90 days of vitamin D supplementation was capable to reduce
OS (protein and lipid oxidation) in T2DM.

Introduction: Cardiovascular risk is increased among obese people, mainly in those
who present central obesity. Waist circumference (WC) is the most used indicator for
measuring the centralized distribution of adipose tissue. Another indicator that has
shown a strong correlation with cardiovascular risk factors is the waist-to-height
ratio (WHtR), where the waist should be less than half of the height to indicate a
lower risk of all-cause mortality.
Objective: To evaluate the risk of cardiometabolic complications through anthropometric
measures in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).
Method: It was a cross-sectional study carried out in a specialized healthcare unit
in the city of Fortaleza, CE, from July 2016 to August 2017. Were included patients
with a diagnosis of T2DM of both sexes, coming from nutrition and endocrinology services.
Weight (kg), height (m) and WC (cm) were measured. The WC measurement was performed
at the midpoint between the last costal arch and the anterosuperior iliac crest. Cut-off
points used to indicate risk of metabolic complications associated were WC: ≥ 94 cm
in men and ≥ 80 cm in women at high risk; and ≥ 102 cm in men and ≥ 88 cm in women
at very high risk. The cut-off point for WHtR was 0.52 for women and 0.53 for men.
Results: The sample consisted of 109 patients, with a mean age of 57.3 ± 12.47 years
and 65.1% (71) were female. According to WC, 93% (66) and 60.6% (23) of women and
men, respectively, presented a high or very high risk for the development of cardiometabolic
complications. Regarding the WHtR, 88.7% (63) of the women and 98.7% (36) of the men
presented a cardiovascular risk.
Conclusion: It was observed that both measures were useful tools to identify cardiometabolic
risk in this population. However, WHtR was able to predict this risk in a greater
percentage of males, when compared to the WC in the studied population. Therefore,
the use of WHtR in clinical practice is suggested, in order to allow an early intervention
in a greater number of individuals, aiming at a consequent reduction of morbidity
and mortality.

Background: Weight loss with antihyperglycaemic medications may be a marker for favourable
outcomes. The objective of this review was to evaluate the relation between antihyperglycaemic
medications for type 2 diabetes, weight loss and mortality and cardiovascular events.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.org were reviewed up
to March 2017. We included randomised trials that assessed antihyperglycaemic medications
in type 2 diabetes, reported all-cause mortality, and had a duration longer than 1 year.
To maintain glycaemic equipoise, studies with a difference greater than 0.5% in glycated
haemoglobin were excluded. The main outcomes were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
Myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure were also assessed. Weight loss medications
were defined as those with a weight reduction ≥ 1 kg in the experimental group and
a difference of at least − 1 kg in comparison with control arm.
Results: The review identified 26 studies (77,887 patients, 4147 all-cause and 1931
cardiovascular deaths). While weight loss medications were associated with reduced
risk of all-cause mortality (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.75–0.96), the remaining studies were
not (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.84–1.04). Cardiovascular mortality results were similar (weight
loss, RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.66–0.92; no weight loss, RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.71–1.04). Weight
loss was also associated with decreased myocardial infarction.
Conclusion: Treatment with antihyperglycaemic medications that reduced weight lead
to decreased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk, independently from glycaemic
effects. Beneficial effects on weight might be considered when selecting antihyperglycaemic
agents for patients with type 2 diabetes. PROSPERO registry: CRD42016043895 (Fig.

Introduction: It is well known that regular ingestion of fructose and continuous treatment
with glucocorticoid (GC), separately, causes diabetogenic effects.
Objective: Thus, we sought to evaluate the impact of a combination of fructose and
prednisolone ingestion on glucose and lipid homeostasis as well as the impact of the
interruption of this combined treatment.
Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into five groups as follows: control (C) group,
fructose (F) group (20% fructose in the drinking water), prednisolone (P) group (12.5 μg/mL
prednisolone in the drinking water), fructose plus prednisolone (FP) group (treated
as F and P groups) for 90 consecutive days. Half of the rats (group R) from the FP
group were maintained for 90 more days with a discontinuation of fructose and prednisolone
to monitor the parameters.
Results: The combination of fructose and GC intake rendered rats hypertriacylglyceridemic
from the fourth week of treatment until the end of treatment (p < 0.05). The FP group
also developed augmented abdominal adiposity, plasma insulin values, reduced insulin
sensitivity, increased urecemia, and impaired hepatic redox balance with elevated
content of fat in the liver (p < 0.05). No major impact on glycemia or glucose tolerance
was observed in the FP group. This phenotype observed in the FP group was associated
to an increase in the beta cell mass per body mass (p < 0.05). Moreover, the combination
of sugar and GC treatment led to a reduction in the total hepatic protein kinase B
(PKB) content and to a reduction in the phosphorylated 5’ AMP-activated protein kinase
(AMPK) content in the adipose tissue (p < 0.05). Quantification of proteins involved
with the proinflammatory pathway revealed no alteration related with the combination
of fructose and GC intake. Cassation of treatments was satisfactory for the normalization
of triacylglycerolemia and urecemia in the R group. Interruption of treatments also
led to normalization of the peripheral insulin sensitivity, hepatic fat content and
redox state (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: We conclude that combination of fructose and prednisolone intake induces
a metabolic syndrome-like phenotype and that cessation of treatments ameliorates practically
all metabolic adverse effects. These findings point to the risk of associating GC-based
therapies with a regular intake of sweetened beverages and draws attention to the
plasticity of the organism and the benefits of removing the causal factors, whenever
possible.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have become one of the main problems
in public health and accounts for 90% of cases of diabetes globally. As already it
happen in other developing countries, Brazil is one of the most important examples
of the alarming picture of T2DM, being the country with the fourth largest number
of people with diabetes [1, 2]. It is well established that the screening campaigns
to detect suspected diabetes cases produce impressive results, as well as demonstrated
in the incidence of new cases of diabetes from capillary blood sugar tests performed
during the campaign. However, a large number de patients with diabetes mellitus were
also actively participating in the World Diabetes Day campaign, without the exact
measurement of complications for the population already diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of chronic complications
among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the metropolitan area of the city
of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Materials/methods: This was a retrospective, observational search, involving a cross-sectional
epidemiologic survey about chronic complications relating to diabetes in the metropolitan
area of the Sao Paulo city. The data were collected from people who participated in
the campaign in celebration of World Diabetes Day (WDD) and analyzed from January
to April 2017. All participants signed the informed consent in this research.
Results: Of the 7896 subjects who participated in the campaign, 1066 (13.5%) with
type 2 diabetes mellitus previously diagnosed. Among these population, 53% were female
(n = 565) and the mean age was 61.5 ± 8.7 years. After evaluation of a multidisciplinary
team, at least one chronic complication was diagnosed in 501 individuals (47.0%) of
the study subjects; 183 (36.5%) presented with macrovascular complications and 111
(22.2%) with microvascular complications. The prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular
conditions, neuropathy, nephropathy, periodontal disease, ocular lesions and foot
disease were 27, 4.6, 42, 38.2, 34, 6.15 and 1.2%, respectively. Relationship cannot
be established between the prevalence of complications and duration of diagnosed diabetes,
since the objective of the campaign was the screening of new cases of diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: Community screening campaigns for diabetes mellitus are extremely important
projects, once diabetes is an important public health problem worldwide and more than
half of patients are undiagnosed. Furthermore, the significant number of type 2 diabetic
outpatients and high rates of chronic complications are facts that cannot be ignored,
because they showed poor glycemic control and ineffective medical treatment received.
Future efforts should be directed at intensive blood glucose control in order to minimize
the occurrence of new complications and progression of the those already installed

“Bullous Diabeticorum” is a rare cutaneous disease that affects 0.5% of long-standing
diabetics and manifests as tense blisters with unknown etiology. The aim is the description
of a case report with the occurrence of bullous lesions and systemic and dermatological
repercussions. A 50-year-old male Caucasian patient reported that 5 years ago he noticed
that his urine was voluminous, foamy and “attracted ants” [sic] and also considerable
weight loss. He didn’t seek medical attention and maintained his habit of drinking
distilled spirits (2 L a week for 12 years) and diet very low on calories and proteins.
He came to the Basic Health Unit 3 months after tense blisters appeared on his forearms,
hands and right foot in various sizes and containing clear liquid without signs of
inflammation and associated pruritus, when the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was
made. The lesions burst spontaneously or he pierced them, which evolved into cutaneous
erosions. The foot lesion evolved into an ulcer with purulent secretion and necrosis.
The patient was hospitalized for 11 days in the infirmary with altered levels of blood
sugar in the tests (ranging from 78 to 495); hydroelectrolytic disturbance (potassium
3.2 mg/dl and magnesium 1.4 mg/dl); albumin 2 mg/dl. The biopsy (date) of the lesions
on the right hand and the 3rd finger showed findings compatible with pellagra or bullosis
diabeticorum. As treatment, he received potassium and magnesium replacement, glycemic
control with NPH insulin 3 times a day and regular insulin, surgical debridement of
the lesion on the right foot, antibiotic therapy for secondary infection (Ceftriaxone + Oxacillin
for 7 days) and silver sulfadiazine for 6 days. There are few studies regarding the
treatment of Bullous Diabeticorum since the serous blisters are sterile. However,
it was observed that from a strict glycemic control, the skin lesions regressed and
no new blisters appeared during hospitalization. Months after the clinical treatment,
the patient underwent amputation of his right leg, which emphasizes the importance
of early diagnosis and proper glycemic control, in addition to the correct diagnosis
of the dermatological lesions that led to the extensive ulceration with the appearance
of necrosis and diabetic foot with risk of amputation. Informed consent to publish
had been obtained from the patient. (Fig. 1)
