Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Accompanied with Sepsis
Background:
This study was conducted to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with sepsis and to provide a reasonable basis for early diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
The clinical material of patients with T2DM complicated with sepsis enrolled from January 2019 to February 2022 in the Endocrinology Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 36 patients were included. T2DM patients with sepsis had bad blood glucose control, long hospital stays, poor nutritional status, severe infection, occult primary infection sites, and high detection rates of ESBL producing Escherichia coli and MRSA.
Conclusions:
Multiple complex clinical factors made it difficult for T2DM patients with sepsis to be cured or improved and raised great challenges for antibiotic therapy.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
