Resumen
La glicemia, es uno de los parámetros que afecta más la población debido al alto porcentaje de aparición, ocasionada tanto por el déficit de una hormona importante producida por el páncreas, la insulina, la cual lleva a nuevos brotes en pacientes como a jóvenes, adultos y niños, hoy en día, la diabetes. Al parecer existe un fuerte factor hereditario que predispone a este tipo de enfermedad, tanto al insulino dependiente como al no insulino dependiente. Los pacientes deben tener un conocimiento de la enfermedad, sus complicaciones y riesgos para enfatizar en la necesidad de cumplir el régimen indicado e instruir para la correcta administración de insulina. Tener diabetes aumentó las posibilidades de una persona de contraer Tuberculosis (TB). El riesgo de TB se incrementó tres veces mas comparado con las personas sin la condición metabólica. La diabetes pudiera modificar el curso clínico de la infección o asociarse a la presencia de cepas resistentes. Por otra parte, la tuberculosis, al ser un estado de inflamación crónica, puede exacerbar la hiperglucemia o favorecer su aparición. Se utilizó una técnica manual el método de titulación para determinar los niveles de glucosa en sangre analizados en 100 pacientes tuberculosos a los cuales se les realizo 3 controles periódicos, obteniendo un 20 por ciento de prevalencia de diabetes en pacientes ingresados. Se estima que en Ecuador hoy en día existe más de 1 millón de personas diagnosticadas como diabéticos pero su prevalencia en pacientes tuberculosos mantiene un índice muy bajo. La diabetes es un mal relativamente frecuente en nuestros días sin embargo debido al avance de la medicina y de las diferentes técnicas que la complementan se debe realizar un diagnostico precoz, que junto con un tratamiento correcto retrasa e incluso evita la aparición de los efectos colaterales.
Glycemia is one of the parameters that most affects the population due to the high percentage of occurrence, caused both by the deficit of an important hormone produced by the pancreas, insulin, which leads to new outbreaks in patients and young people, adults and children, today, diabetes. Apparently there is a strong hereditary factor that predisposes to this type of disease, both insulin dependent and non insulin dependent. Patients should have a knowledge of the disease, its complications and risks to emphasize the need to comply with the indicated regimen and instruct for the correct administration of insulin. Having diabetes increased a person's chances of getting Tuberculosis (TB). The risk of TB increased three times more compared to people without the metabolic condition. Diabetes could modify the clinical course of the infection or be associated with the presence of resistant strains. On the other hand, tuberculosis, being a state of chronic inflammation, can exacerbate hyperglycemia or favor its onset. A manual technique was used for the titration method to determine the blood glucose levels analyzed in 100 tuberculosis patients who underwent 3 periodic controls, obtaining a 20 percent prevalence of diabetes in admitted patients. It is estimated that in Ecuador today there are more than 1 million people diagnosed as diabetic but their prevalence in tuberculosis patients maintains a very low rate. Diabetes is a relatively frequent disease in our days, however, due to the advancement of medicine and the different techniques that complement it, an early diagnosis must be made, which together with a correct treatment delays and even prevents the appearance of side effects.
