Abstract

We conducted this study to determine quality of glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes, based on evaluation of mean HbA1c. We enrolled 125 patients with type 1 diabetes who were hospitalized during the period from December 1998 to December 2001. Glycemic control was evaluated on mean of HbA1c in 82 patients and on mean of fasting glycemia values in 43 patients. Mean HbA1c was 9.9%. Mean of plasma fasting glycemia was 11 mmol/l. 22% of patients were perfectly or good controlled (HbA1c < or = 7% or HbA1c 7-7.5%). 12% had a moderate control (HbA1c 7.5 et 9%) and finally 66% of patients had a worse control (HbA1c > 9%). There was an excellent correlation between HbA1c and mean fasting glycemic values (p = 0.00028). Most of patients had unsatifactory control. We stressed on the absolute necessity of intensified insulin therapy and self-monitoring blood glucose.

Abstract

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is defined as an autonomous over-production of aldosterone by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands. It is classically considered as a rare cause of hypertension. Aldosterone producing adenoma (APA) and idiopatic hyperoldosteronism (IHA) represent the most frequent subtypes of PA. The authors report 18 cases of PA (14 women an 4 men) with a mean age of 42 +/- 13.5 years. All patients have hypertension and hypokaliemia (K < 3.5 mmol/l). Eleven patients have an APA, one patient has an adrenal carcinoma and three patients have IHA. The subtype of PA has not been established in three patients. We discuss in this article the clinical, biological, radiological and evolutif characteristics of our cases, and we insist on the necessity of making a precise etiologic diagnosis to propose the most adequate treatment.
