Aim: Autoimmune disorders are considered to be associated with a Th1 immune response whereas allergic diseases with a Th2 response. Studies mainly per-Formed on children revealed conflicting results regarding the association of atopy/allergic disease and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of allergic diseases in adult Type 1 diabetic patients. Methods: Eighty-nine Type 1 diabetic patients and 64 controls were enrolled into the study. Skin-prick test and European Community Respiratory Health Survey questionnaire were performed on all cases. Patients who gave at least one positive answer to questions about asthma in the questionnaire underwent pulmonary function test and methacholine challenge test. Results: Patients' mean age were similar in diabetic patients and controls (28.2 +/- 8.9 and 28.1 +/- 5.2 yr; respectively). In skin-prick test, the rate Of Positive response to at least one allergen was not significantly different in diabetes (29.2%) and in the control group (31.3%). In European Community Respiratory Health Survey questionnaire, diabetic patients waked up by an attack of cough more than controls did. The rate of physician-diagnosed asthma was similar in both groups. There was no difference between the 2 groups based on the answers of other questions about asthma and other allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, eczema, and drug allergy. Conclusion: We found that atopy frequencies were similar in an adult population of Type 1 diabetic patients and controls. Although asthmatic symptom prevalence is increased in diabetic patients, the incidence of current asthma was similar in both groups.

BACKGROUND: Proper education and training in correct inhalation technique has been reported to have a substantial role in the achievement of optimal therapeutic benefit and asthma control. The present study was designed to evaluate inhaler technique and the role of education in relation to asthma control among patients with persistent asthma in Turkey. METHODS: A total of 572 patients with persistent asthma (mean +/- SD age 42.7 +/- 12.2 y, 76% females) were included in this non-interventional, observational, registry study conducted across Turkey. Data on the effective and correct use of inhaler devices were collected via the Ease of Use for the Inhaler Device Questionnaire to patients and physicians. RESULTS: Asthma control (overall 61.5% at baseline, and increased to 87.3% during follow-up) was better, with significant improvement in technique and decrease in basic errors to the range 0-1, regardless of the inhaler type. Overall, the most common basic error associated with inhalation maneuvers was failure to exhale before inhaling through the device (18.9%). There was concordance between the patients and physicians in the ratio of correct inhaler technique only for spray-type inhalers. CONCLUSIONS: Close follow-up with repeated checking of the patient's inhaler technique and correction of errors each time by a physician seem to be associated with a significant decrease in the percent of patients who make basic errors in inhalation maneuvers and device-independent errors, and with better control of persistent asthma.
