Résumé
Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid as well as protein metabolism virtually affecting every organ in the human body. Dyslipidemia is a group of biochemical disorders, which is frequently seen in diabetic individuals. Dyslipidemia associated with diabetes has a major role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in diabetic patients visiting OPD of Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly over a period of 6 months. A total of 320 patients were randomly selected for the study and divided into 2 groups depending on HbA1c levels.Results: BMI of controlled diabetics was 26.2±1.91 kg/m2 and of uncontrolled was 27.56±4.36 kg/m2 respectively with a statistically significant p value. Total Cholesterol levels in controlled group was 185.63±52.32 mg% and 217.83±61.33 mg% in uncontrolled group with a p value of 0.0005 which is highly significant. Same was seen in triglyceride and VLDL levels in controlled group which was 173.88±101.77 mg% and 31.5±12 mg% respectively and 203.33±83.7 mg% and 40.67±17.66 mg% in uncontrolled group respectively.Conclusions: The diabetic patients with poor glycemic control had statistically significant high values of Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, VLDL levels and significant low HDL Levels. Good glycemic control can result in improvement in the lipid panel and the patients can be prevented from the high cardiovascular and neurological risk.
Résumé
Background: We are today witnessing a pandemic of diabetes mellitus (DM), globally and nationally. DM and its complications have become the most important contemporary and challenging health problems. Diabetes is not associated with any specific pulmonary symptom and hence periodic screening for lung disease is not done in diabetic patients. However, an extensive microvascular circulation and an abundant connective tissue in the lung raise the possibility that the lung may also be a target organ in diabetic patients. The aim and objectives were to study the pulmonary function of individual with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by performing spirometry.Methods: Study included non-smoker diabetic patients, who had no history of respiratory disease, were selected for this study and undergone pulmonary function test by spirometry. The study was conducted at department of General Medicine Shri Ram Murti Smarak Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India.Results: Present study, author found that there was significant derangement in the spirometric readings in the diabetic patients. The FEV1/FVC values further declines as the duration of diabetes increased.Conclusions: Spirometric values (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) were consistently lower in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effect on FVC predicted % was found to be more pronounced in subjects whose duration of DM was more than 5 years.
Résumé
Background: The relationship between hyperuricemia and diabetes mellitus is proved to be associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but it is unclear whether hyperuricemia is actually related to diabetes.Methods: A 50 patients with newly diagnosed diabetes according to ADA guidelines were selected. Uric acid level and HbA1C levels were measured. Results were calculated with the reference range of uric acid >7.0 mg/dl.Results: The mean serum uric acid level was higher in 72% of the newly diagnosed diabetic patients (36/50).Conclusions: Hyperuricemia seems to be associated with newly diagnosed diabetics. It can be used as a biomarker of deterioration of glucose metabolism.
