Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria.
- Over a two-year period, records of 765 women referred for oral glucose tolerance testing were analyzed, revealing a crude prevalence rate of 13.9%, with most diagnoses occurring in the third trimester.
- Key risk factors for GDM included a positive family history of diabetes, age over 30, and significant fasting glucose levels; importantly, there was no identified BMI threshold as a risk factor for women in their first trimester.
Most trials on the effect of exercise on patients with diabetes mellitus focused on their glycaemic control, only a few focused on sexual dysfunction. A comprehensive two-decade literature review (1989-2009) from peer-reviewed journals was undertaken to examine the roles if any, of therapeutic exercise as an intervention for sexual dysfunction in patients with diabetes. Because of the paucity of studies on this subject, meta-analyses, small and non-randomized trials cited on Medline, Pedro, Embase, Scirus, Highwire and the Cochrane Library of systematic reviews were examined.

- There has been a rise in reports linking high hepatitis-C virus (HCV) prevalence to patients with type-2 diabetes, particularly in western countries, suggesting a potential connection between the two conditions.
- A study was conducted with 90 type-2 diabetic patients and 90 non-diabetic controls matched by age, sex, and exposure risk, to analyze their HCV status.
- Results showed no diabetic patients tested positive for HCV, while 1.1% of the control group did, indicating a low prevalence of HCV among type-2 diabetics at University College Hospital in Ibadan.
