Study Questions
• Recalling what had you eaten for your breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday, do you think
it is a complete meal based on the classification of nutrients. Write the rationale in essay
form (word count 80-100).
Yesterday I ate 2 pandesals with cheese and a glass of milk for breakfast. I
was already full, so I stopped. After 3 hours it was already time to eat and I was so
hungry because usually, I would have rice for breakfast. Lunch was fried chicken
and it was thigh fillet, my favorite part of the chicken. I ate with 1 and a half cups
of rice and 2 cups of cold water. After that, I was able to get full immediately. Our
dinner came after 6 hours. I had a snack in between which was Cream-Os with half
a glass of milk. Our dinner was Embotido which my mom made, and we had some
buttered vegetables alongside it. I ate 2 slices of Embotido and a cup of buttered
vegetables with 1 cup of rice. It was really good.
I think all together it was complete because I usually take vitamins in the
morning and calcium at night. Though individually, I would say that each meal was
lacking one or two things from the classification of the nutrient list especially
breakfast and lunch. Dinner was the complete meal in my opinion, and It was also
my favorite meal of that day. It had meat and vegetables and I didn’t eat that much
rice because I wouldn’t want to have to stay up so late just to wait for my food to
get settled in or digested.

Iron deficiency in chronic kidney disease patients with diabetes mellitus

This study focuses on Iron deficiency that has been extensively studied under hemodialysis
therapy in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, in the non-dialysis chronic kidney disease
community, few studies have looked at iron therapy. Anemia was more frequent in the community
of patients with CKD diabetes which was 52.4%. For all CKD patients as well as in diabetic cases, the
incidence of anemia was also higher compared with non-diabetic ones. Iron deficiency has been
more common in patients with diabetes. The prevalence of iron deficiency among CKD diabetic
patients was higher than in non-diabetic CKD patients. Anemia has been more common in patients
with CKD diabetes. Diabetes mellitus was linked with an iron deficiency independently. Surprisingly,
in diabetic patients decreased availability of iron was not more prevalent. It is necessary to
elucidate the physio-pathological pathways which may clarify those observations.
I was fascinated by this research article because when I was in senior high school, I
conducted research about Hemodialysis patients, and I knew that diabetes was one of the
precedents of Chronic Kidney disease. I also wanted to read this article because my mom is diabetic,
and I’ve been showing signs of early/pre-diabetes myself. After reading the article I became more
interested in reading similar articles about diabetes and Iron deficiency. I commend the researchers
for trying to think outside the box and draw a line on how Iron deficiency Anemia was linked to
Diabetes Miletus directly. I hope more studies are made to pinpoint how and why it is directly linked
to this chronic disease.
