      Uno de cada cinco diabéticos pierde hasta 15 horas de trabajo mensuales debido a hipoglucemia

      COPENHAGUE, Dinamarca, 6 de junio de 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alrededor de uno de cada cinco diabéticos no puede concurrir con frecuencia un día completo a su trabajo debido a los trastornos provocados por episodios de concentración peligrosamente baja de azúcar en la sangre, conocidos como episodios de hipoglucemia. Una nueva encuesta fue publicada hoy en la revista Value in Health, centrada en la pérdida de productividad debido a eventos hipoglucémicos. La encuesta se llevó a cabo entre 1.404 personas con diabetes tipo 1 y tipo 2 que habían tenido un episodio de hipoglucemia el mes anterior, en los Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido, Alemania y Francia.

      (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110414/NY80976LOGO )

      La conclusiones clave de la encuesta fueron las siguientes:

      • La pérdida promedio de productividad en el lugar de trabajo, por persona y por mes, debido a un episodio nocturno de hipoglucemia, fue de 14,7 horas de trabajo perdido. Eso equivale a un valor estimado de US$2.294 en productividad perdida por persona, por año.*
      • Los episodios de hipoglucemia tienen tendencia a ocurrir durante la noche y una de cada cinco personas (22,7%) llegó tarde al trabajo o se perdió el día completo de trabajo como consecuencia de un episodio nocturno. Los episodios ocurridos en horas de trabajo dieron como resultado que el 18,3% de las personas tuviera que retirarse del trabajo temprano o se perdiera el día completo.

      "Muchos diabéticos luchan contra la hipoglucemia con regularidad", afirma la Dra. Meryl Brod, investigadora principal y psicóloga de la salud. "Esto no solo influye en su vida laboral, sino que aumenta la necesidad de autocontrol de los niveles de glucosa en sangre. Además, los episodios que se producen durante el sueño son un desafío para los diabéticos".

      La encuesta reveló también que los pacientes realizaron 5,6 tests de glucosa en sangre adicionales para medir su nivel de azúcar en sangre en los siete días siguientes al evento, y el 24,9% se comunicó con un profesional de la salud (ya fuera un médico de atención primaria, un hospital, una clínica de diabetes u otro trabajador de la atención médica) como consecuencia del evento. Entre los pacientes que usan insulina, el 25% reportó una disminución de su dosis de insulina después del evento.

      Mantener un control glucémico estricto tiene ventajas de largo plazo para los diabéticos en la reducción de complicaciones. Los síntomas de un episodio hipoglucémico, cuando el azúcar en sangre baja demasiado, suelen incluir palpitaciones, temblores, hambre, transpiración, dificultades para concentrarse o confusión. Los diabéticos tratados con insulina pueden experimentar 1-3 eventos por mes.

      El estudio completo se encuentra en la edición de julio de Value in Health y también en línea en: http://www.valueinhealthjournal.com/. El estudio fue patrocinado por Novo Nordisk.

      Información adicional sobre la diabetes:

      • En una generación, la difusión de la diabetes se ha incrementado seis veces en todo el mundo. Se estima que en el año 2010 había unos 285 millones de personas con diabetes, y se espera que la enfermedad afecte a 438 millones para el 2030.
      • Más del 50% de los diabéticos no sabe que tiene la enfermedad.
      • La diabetes provocó cerca de 4 millones de muertes en todo el mundo, casi el 7% de la mortalidad mundial total en el año 2010, lo cual representa un aumento del 5,5% respecto del año 2007. La diabetes es la cuarta causa de muerte por enfermedad en el mundo.
      • En el 2010, los gastos mundiales en diabetes totalizaron al menos US$376.000 millones y se prevé que en el año 2030 superarán los US$490.000 millones.

      Novo Nordisk, cuya sede se encuentra en Dinamarca, es una compañía global de cuidado de la salud con 87 años de innovación y liderazgo en el tratamiento de la diabetes. La compañía es también líder en el tratamiento de la hemofilia y las terapias de hormona del crecimiento y de reemplazo hormonal. Para más información, visite novonordisk.com.
