Background: People with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an estimated two- to three-times greater risk of adverse tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes compared to those without DM. Blood glucose control is a primary aim of managing DM during TB treatment, yet TB programmes are not generally adapted to provide DM services. The purpose of this study was to understand perceptions and the lived experiences of diabetic patients in TB treatment in the Philippines, with a view to informing the development of disease co-management strategies.

Article Synopsis
- - Diabetes and undernutrition are significant risk factors for tuberculosis (TB), with 58% of participants in a study having at least one comorbidity, including diabetes (22.5%), undernutrition (23.4%), hypertension (19.0%), and anaemia (13.5%).
- - The study involved 900 participants starting anti-TB treatment, where 54.8% of those with diabetes and 54.9% with hypertension had previously undiagnosed conditions, and poorly controlled diabetes was common among those already on medication.
- - MDR-TB treatment increased the odds of diabetes but decreased the odds of hypertension, indicating the need for TB treatment programs to address and manage comorbid conditions that could negatively

We investigated health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in Filipino people undergoing TB treatment, and whether HrQoL was negatively impacted by comorbidity with undernutrition, diabetes (DM) and anaemia. Adult participants were enrolled in public facilities in Metro Manila (three sites) and Negros Occidental (two sites). Multivariate linear regression was used to model the four correlated domain scores from a WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (physical, psychological, social, environmental).

Diabetes and undernutrition are common risk factors for TB, associated with poor treatment outcomes and exacerbated by TB. We aimed to assess non-communicable multimorbidity (co-occurrence of two or more medical conditions) in Filipino TB outpatients, focusing on malnutrition and diabetes. In a cross-sectional study, 637 adults (70% male) from clinics in urban Metro Manila (N = 338) and rural Negros Occidental (N = 299) were enrolled.
