Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a glucose intolerance that occurs or is identified for the first time all through pregnancy. Perinatal & neonatal morbidity mortality is significant in pregnant women in GDM with extra hazard of growing diabetes later in life. Uttar Pradesh is a largest state of India with one of the highest rate of the infant as well as maternal mortality which might be at least partially due to GDM. Thus, careful evaluation, administration & training of HCPs for GDM can improve the outcomes in National Health Mission supported Govt funded Program.

Aims and Objectives: Primary objective of this find out about used to be to determine the incidence of GDM and evaluate the maternal and fetal result in Uttar Pradesh. Thus, this study was once undertaken to recognize the extent of the burden on Healthcare, earlier than the scope of intervention ought to be defined.

Materials and Methods: A potential find out about (September 2012-October 2017) was executed at 806 CHCs & PHCs Healthcare facilities. 223446 pregnant women have been screened at 16-20 weeks & 24th-28 weeks of pregnancy as per guidelines of National Health Mission, GOI & Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India (FOGSI).

Results: >76% of pregnant women did now not recognize about GDM. Prevalence of GDM used to be 11.12%. Stillbirth, perinatal & neonatal mortality have been respectively 2.6, 2.2 & 2.7 instances greater in GDM. Most of the GDM used to be identified in primigravida (52%). Congenital malformation was once nine instances higher, low birth weight (LBW) was 32% in GDM (14% in non-GDM). GDM find instances had 22.7% wonderful household history of diabetes (compared to 6.5% in non-GDM). Relative dangers for PBU admission, LGA (large for gestational age), Low birth weight (LBW), pre-eclampsia and jaundice were also higher.

Conclusion: All the pregnant women want screening in public facilities & implementation of National Health Mission, GOI guidelines for GDM has to be followed to improve outcome for mother and newborn. As the lack of information about GDM amongst pregnant women is high, to decrease the risk, Awareness & Implementation of Guidelines is key thrust area.

Diabetes Distress (DD) disproportionately affects vulnerable people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and interventions targeting this population are therefore relevant. Diabetes distress is a condition potentially hindering adequate diabetes management and associated to poor adherence and glycaemic control. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the evidence for an effect of psychosocial interventions for reducing DD and, secondly HbA1c, depression and Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) in vulnerable people with T2DM. Vulnerability encompasses poor glycemic control (HbA1c>7.5%) and at least one additional risk factor for poor diabetes outcomes such as low educational level, comorbidity and risky lifestyle behavior. The interventions should be theoretically founded and include cognition- or emotion-focused elements. We systematically searched four databases for articles published between January 1995 and March 2018. Eighteen studies testing a variety of psychosocial interventions in 4066 patients were included. We adhered to the Cochrane methodology and PRISMA guidelines. Review Manager 5.3 was used for data extraction and risk of bias assessment, and Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) for assessing the quality of the evidence. Data were pooled using the fixed or random effects method as appropriate. We investigated effects of individual versus group, intensive versus brief interventions and interventions with and without motivational interviewing in sub-group analyses. To assess the robustness of effect estimates, sensitivity analyses excluding studies with high risk of bias attrition >20% were conducted. We found low to moderate quality evidence for a significant small effect of psychosocial interventions on DD and very low to moderate quality evidence for no effect on HbA1c, both outcomes assessed at 3, 6, 12 and 24-month follow-up. The effect on depression was small, while there was no effect on HRQOL. Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested that interventions using motivational interviewing and individual interventions were associated with incremental effects on DD. Likewise, intensive interventions were associated with significant reductions in both DD and HbA1c.

One of the late complications of diabetes is diabetic foot syndrome (DFS), characterized by reduction in blood supply to the feet that leads to neuropathy and angiopathy. DFS patients are at risk of developing foot ulcers and wounds as a result of neuropathy. The care of individuals with diabetic foot ulcers is often expensive and requires multiple Hospital visits most of the times. Inadequate care leads to serious complications and a high risk of lower extremity amputation. The role of telemedical monitoring in diabetic foot ulcer care remains still uncertain. The objective of this systematic review of the literature was to assess the effect of telemedicine in the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. This systematic review included research studies published in the 2008-2018 period from search databases Medline, Scopus, CINAHL and PubMed with index words diabetic foot, diabetic foot ulcers, telemedicine. Eighteen studies were reviewed and evaluated. Most of them showed that the telemedical intervention can effectively support the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and monitor every change of the ulcer as the agreement for remote vs in-person assessment of the ulcers were in most studies quite high. Moreover, in many of the included studies, both Healthcare professionals and patients that used the telemedical devices reported their satisfaction of the intervention and that they were quite easy to use. The feasibility studies that were reviewed, showed that the telemedical intervention is cost effective in comparison with the cost for foot ulcer or amputation treatment in the national Health system which is estimated between 5,000$ and 40,000$. Telemedicine care is promising for the management of diabetic foot patients as the results of the included studies were comparable with usual care. In conclusion, there is a need for large multicenter studies so that safe conclusions can be drawn about the usefulness and effectiveness of the telemedicine in this specific group of patients.

Nowadays many treatments are available in Health care to address the chronic condition of diabetes. An increasing number is focusing on a more holistic approach, encompassing a variety of methods and tools to help achieve, maintain and enhance a Healthy way of living, diet and exercise. Yoga and mindfulness as complementary Health practices are increasingly being used to help battling the physical and emotional challenges that come with living with diabetes and provide a Healthy outlet to cope with its daily life stressors. It is considered to be a promising, cost-effective option in the treatment and prevention of diabetes. Yoga has been used for thousands of years as a means of promoting physical, mental and spiritual Health and is seen as very beneficial in holistic Health care to help reduce levels of stress, enhance mobility, lower blood pressure and improve overall wellbeing. The benefits support improving posture, circulation, strength, flexibility and dealing with pains and discomfort. Breathing exercises, gentle motions and mindfulness enhance the function and efficiency of respiratory, neurological and endocrine organs, enhance energy levels and reduce stress. The improved circulation lowers blood pressure and increases oxygen flow to the brain that has a mood-altering effect on accompanying feelings of depression, anxiety or psychological distress. Self-awareness and self-discipline are enhanced through the practice of yoga and its full-on exposure therapy nature. An increasing number of diabetics are turning yoga and mindfulness in an effort to keep their condition under control and improve their quality of life. In addition, yoga and mindfulness practices focus on acceptance and compassion that are main principles in stress management that is one of the keys in diabetes treatment. In this workshop, best practices of yoga postures, controlled breathing techniques and mindfulness meditations as a tool to prevent and treat diabetes are demonstrated in combination with an overview of its theoretical background and benefits and implications for practice.
