Introduction and objectives: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe acute complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and may require hospital admission. Our aim was to compare the characteristics of DKA occurring in patients with autoimmune DM (AMD) and type 2 DM (DM2) in our setting.Methods: Retrospective observational study. Patients with AMD and DM2 admitted for DKA at the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio de Granada between January 2019 and December 20...

Introduction: Obesity is a known risk factor for hypovitaminosis D and although several studies point out that higher adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (Diet-Med) is associated with higher dietary vitamin D intake, there are very limited data on the influence of Diet-Med on serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D (25OHD) levels. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between adherence to Diet-Med and vitamin D status in obese patients.Material and Methods: Retros...

Introduction and Objectives: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has demonstrated benefits in the prevention of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) vs flash monitoring (CGM). Our aim was to analyze the clinical characteristics, indication and glucometric changes in patients using MFG after CGM implantation.Material and methods: Retrospective observational study of 13 patients under follow-up for DM1 in Endocrinology consultations...

Objective: Endogenous cushing syndrome (ECS) is a complex and rare disease. After treatment, 50% of cases have recurrence. The objective is to evaluate the prevalence of recurrences in patients diagnosed of ECS and its predictive factors.Materials and Methods: Analytical retrospective observational study with 19 ECS diagnoses cases followed-up from January 1999 to December 2023. Demographic (sex, age), clinical (cause, face plethora, fragile capillary, r...

Introduction: DM 1 is proposed as a condition of accelerated muscle aging and mitochondrial dysfunction as a common link regulating muscle deterioration in aging and DM 1. Loss of muscle mass is associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular complications.Objectives: To analyze body composition and metabolic variables related to insulin resistance in overweight/obese patients with DM1.Material and MethodsObservational, cross-se...

Introduction and objectives of the study: Every year the Diabetes Association of Granada (AGRADI), organizes a summer camp for children with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 with the aim of combining leisure activities and facilitating learning and developing autonomy in their pathology. The presence of health professionals is essential to ensure the monitoring and safety of children and a good diabetological education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics...

Objective: Optimal glycemic management in critically ill patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycemia has prognostic value. For adjustment, the most used measurement in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the capillary glucose. In this study, we compare intersticial glucose (IG) and capillary glucose (CG) concentrations to assess the applicability of sensor placement in patients requiring vasoactive agents.Materials and Methods: Prospective longitudinal o...
