Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disorder with multiple disabling long- and shorter-term complications, the majority of which can be controlled if not prevented. The management of diabetic patients is a major drain on both health budgets and time.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 101 patients with diabetic foot ulcer, who had received treatment at either Doctor Shariati or Imam Khomeini hospital.
Results: Out of 101 patients (56.4% male and 43.6% female) with diabetic foot ulcer, 34.7% had eventually undergone amputation.
Conclusion: Our findings highlight the need for control and prevention programmes aimed at reducing the risk factors for and complications of diabetic foot ulcer.

Abstract
Background: The importance of feed controlling has been proved in metabolic control of diabetic patients. An appropriate metabolic control prevents later complications. Patients with diabetes mellitus are deprived from eating sweat foods. Considering the effect of different carbohydrates on blood sugar, physicians and patients confront a lot of questions about eating these foods. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of sugar cube and Date consumption on blood sugar in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: As a clinical-trial, we selected 20 patients with type I diabetes mellitus sequentially. They were divided into two groups with 10 subjects in each group. The patient’s blood sugar was measured in 2 days with one week interval, before and after eating a Date (10gr) and a sugar cube (5gr). We measured blood sugar at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after consumption. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software version 11, and the results were compared by paired t test.
Results: There was no significant difference between the blood sugar after eating Date and sugar cube. We also compared the surface under the curve of blood sugar after eating date and sugar cube in 2 hours, which was 1619.4 ± 614 mg.min/dL and 1572 ± 967 mg.min/dL for sugar cube and Date respectively, which the difference was not significant.
Conclusion: Rising in blood sugar after Date consumption has not significant difference in comparison with sugar cube consumption in patients with type I diabetes. So, eating Date in diabetic patients is not preferable to eating sugar cube.

Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes that was classically characterized by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Changes in circadian patterns is one of the reasons which can increase the occurrence of diabetes. Melatonin is one of the biological molecules which plays an important role in regulating the circadian clock and also an inhibitory effect on insulin secretion in β-cells. The aim of this study was to examine the association between MTNR1B (rs10830962) gene polymorphism and the risk of T2DM.
Methods: Genotyping was carried out in a total number of 208 subjects including 108 patients with T2DM and 100 normal controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) which is confirmed by Sanger sequencing method.
Results: The frequencies of CC, GC and GG among cases were 54.63%, 1.85% and 43.52% and in control subjects were 81%, 0% and 19% respectively (P<0.001). Frequency of G allele among diabetic patients was significantly higher than non-diabetics (OR=3.34, CI=2.10-5.36, P<0.001).
Conclusion: Our study showed that rs10830962 polymorphism of the MTNR1B gene can be directly associated with T2DM risk.

Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial, polygenic disease caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. Melatonin is a circadian rhythm regulator and any imbalance in its levels can be related to various metabolic disorders. Melatonin and the genetic variants of MTNR1B gene are reported to be associated with T2DM susceptibility. We investigated the association between rs4753426 variant in the MTNR1B gene and the risk of T2DM in group of Iranian patients.
Methods: In this case-control study108 T2DM and 100 normal individuals were recruited to genotyping by PCR- RFLP.
Results: It was observed a significant difference in CC, CT, and TT genotypes distribution between T2DM and control groups (P<0.001). Frequency of C allele among cases was significantly lower than controls (8.3% vs. 42.5% respectively, P<0.001) and C allele carriers had a 88% lower risk of developing T2DM than T carriers.
Conclusion: Our results showed that the rs4753426 variant of MTNR1B gene could reduce the risk of T2DM developing.
