Diagnosed diabetes mellitus and in-hospital stroke mortality in a major sub-Saharan African urban medical unit
Stroke and diabetes are common disorders affecting 33 million and 415 million individuals worldwide respectively [1,2]. Mortality associated with both conditions is high [1,3]. Globally, 6% of deaths are caused by high blood glucose, and stroke accounts for 11.1% of deaths worldwide [1,3]. Stroke is one of the leading complications of diabetes. It is estimated that 12% of strokes are attributable to diabetes [4]. People with diabetes mellitus have more than double the risk of ischemic stroke after correcting for other factors.

Older age and duration of exposure to type 2 diabetes in selective screening of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis for primary stroke prevention —A single institution experience
Carotid artery disease is a well-known cause of stroke. In Malaysia, stroke is the third most common cause of death [1]. To our knowledge, there is still limited information regarding stroke and its associated risk factors. Strokes from ischemic infarction of the brain is due to narrowing or occlusion from local thrombosis or embolization of a proximal thrombus. The incidence of ischemic stroke from carotid artery stenosis in an asymptomatic western population is approximately 2.7% according to a report from Netherlands by Hartog et al.

The mean platelet volume is significantly associated with higher glycated hemoglobin in a large population of unselected outpatients
The burden of diabetes mellitus is constantly increasing around the globe. According to recent statistics, the number of affected individuals is expected to increase from approximately 380 million in 2013 to 590 million by the year 2035 [1]. These meaningful figures make diabetes a primary healthcare issue, principally due to the important complications affecting both small and large blood vessels that typically onset in people with diabetes. More specifically, patients with diabetes have a substantial increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease, loss of sight, coronary heart disease, peripheral artery occlusive di...

A cross-sectional survey of general practice health workers ’ perceptions of their provision of culturally competent services to ethnic minority people with diabetes
Diabetes is the fourth most common cause of death globally [1]. It is a lifelong disease, with serious health complications (such as blindness, coronary vascular disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, stroke and lower limb amputation) and significantly reduces life expectancy [2]. The ageing populations and rising levels of obesity across the world would suggest diabetes is a major challenge in global public health. Ethnic minority groups (population subgroups with an ethnic origin different from that of the majority population of the host country), are susceptible to diabetes due to physiological, environmental and lifest...

Network meta-analysis of nine large cardiovascular outcome trials of new antidiabetic drugs
There is a strong correlation between cardiovascular (CV) disease and diabetes. According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report of 2017, most diabetes-related hospital discharges were due to major CV events ischemic heart disease, and stroke [1]. Moreover, the risk of CV mortality is much higher in adults with diabetes than in those without diabetes [2,3].

The health effects of medical nutrition therapy by dietitians in patients with diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus, defined as fasting blood glucose equal to or higher than 7mmol/L, among adults over 18years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014 (90 –95% of which is Type 1I). Diabetes has been directly linked to 1.6 million deaths globally. High blood glucose alone was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths in 2015, and is an established risk factor for coronary heart disease, ischaemic stroke, and other vascular diseases [1–3]. Higher hea lth care use, economic burden and associated societal costs have been reported among people with diabetes when compared to their normal counterparts [4].

Neck circumference as a predictor of metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a group of metabolic disorders that together increase a person ’s chance of developing cardiovascular diseases, including stroke. The component disorders that comprise MetS are central obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [1]. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), w aist-hip ratio (WHpR), and waist-height ratio (WHtR) are anthropometric indices that can be used to define abdominal obesity for MetS diagnosis [2].

The impact of pharmacist care on diabetes outcomes in primary care settings: An umbrella review of published systematic reviews
Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating illness of an increasing prevalence that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. In 2017, diabetes affected 8.8% of individuals between 20 –79 years of age globally [2], and will affect about 592 million people by 2035 [3,4]. Similarly, diabetes-related complications (e.g. nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases) are on the rise due to uncontrolled diabetes [5], resulting in high healthcare costs [6– 8].

Prevalence, risk factors, and management of uncontrolled hypertension among patients with diabetes: A hospital-based cross-sectional study
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a globally chronic condition that currently affects over 422 million people worldwide, a number that has been estimated to grow to 552 million by 2030 [1,2]. Saudi Arabia is one of the nations with the highest DM prevalence regionally and internationally [3]. Hypertension (HT) is more common in patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes [4,5]. The co-occurrence of HT has a substantial clinical effect of producing a poor outcome for patients with diabetes. Complications such as renal failure, stroke, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and mortality are the most adverse outcomes ...

Cardiometabolic risk factors in Venezuela. The EVESCAM study: a national cross-sectional survey in adults
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death [1]. High adiposity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and hyperglycemia are their most important risk factors. Between 1980 and 2010, the mortality burden of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) shifted from high-income to low and middle-income countries [2]. In Latin America, coronary heart disease and stroke cause 42.5% and 28.8% of the CVD mortality, respectively [3]. But, it is necessary to identify the magnitude of the CMRF not only in each region but in each country.

Evidence-based early stage type 2 diabetes follow-up in Belgian primary care practices: Impact of multi-professional teams and care protocols
The consequences of late detected or poorly diagnosed and monitored diabetes are considerable. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term dysfunction, and failure of the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Individuals with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) are also at significantly higher risk for stroke, coronary heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease [1]. These consequences increase the importance of early detection and a qualitative follow-up. Fortunately, the evidence on optimal care provision for people diagnosed with T2D is numerous.

A cost comparison of an enhanced primary care diabetes service and standard care
More than 4.7 million residents in the UK are estimated to have diabetes, and this number is expected to grow [1]. Type 2 diabetes, which contributes 90% of all cases of diabetes mellitus [2] is now mostly managed in the primary care settings in the UK and other advanced health care systems [3]. The huge economic burden of diabetes is driven mostly by the increased risk for macro vascular (stroke, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease,) and microvascular complications (retinopathy, and renal failure) [4], which are usually managed in specialist centres.

Health insurance status and type associated with varying levels of glycemic control in the US: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
Diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States (US), with over 24 million individuals diagnosed in 2017 and accounting for $327 billions of healthcare spending [1]. Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with numerous complications, including renal disease, blindness, amputation, and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke [2]. However, preventive care and proper management can lead to improved glycemic control, which is not only associated with fewer complications [3 –5], but also reduced medical costs [6–8], suggesting examination of healthcare systems that improve dia...

Microvascular and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes in a multi-ethnic population based in Amsterdam. The HELIUS study
Globally, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rising [1]. T2D increases the risk of macrovascular complications, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and stroke, and microvascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy [2,3]. These microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes contribute to repeated hospitalization, disability, and early mortality [4].
