Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have risk of cardiovascular complications if blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure (BP) are not optimally controlled. National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) has established a new management model to improve metabolic control.
Diabetes patients have a higher risk of urinary tract infection (UTI). The present study was aimed at determining the clinical profile, microbial pattern, antibiotic sensitivity, and follow-up of UTI in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D)
Skeletal muscles respond heterogenically under various stresses and conditions like diabetes mellitus and cancer. Various imaging techniques like radiographs, ultrasonography, and MRI have been used to find out the muscle mass and crosssectional area of foot muscles.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus has risen to one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide, which puts heavy pressure on patients and the health-care system. Self-management is an important treatment for type 2 diabetes. New selfmanagement treatments have been making great progress with the development of the advanced telemedicine.
India has 66 million people with diabetes, of which a large proportion do not receive adequate care. The primary health centres can serve as platforms for early detection of diabetes and continuum of care
Hyperglycemia-associated micro- and macro-vascular complications remain the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality among the diabetic population worldwide. Poor glycemic control due to clinical inertia towards insulin treatment is a major cause behind the development of diabetic complications. In this paper, we analyze different strategies of insulin treatment initialization and titration practiced in India.
Peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN) had been demonstrated as a chronic inflammation state and one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel marker to reflect many kinds of chronic inflammation disease including diabetes. We aim to evaluate the association between NLR and PDN and to determine whether NLR could be a new indicator of PDN in T2DM.
Measurement of venous plasma glucose concentration (P-Glucose) requires preanalytical precautions: rapid cooling, rapid centrifugation, and using tubes with enzyme inhibitors. A special routine for measuring a biomarker that is critical and frequent in metabolic control is logistically demanding and expensive. We revisit and quantify the diagnostic outcome of using venous serum glucose concentration (S-Glucose) to diagnose diabetes mellitus (DM), using glycated hemoglobin (B-HbA1c) as the reference procedure for diagnosis.
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin as add-on medication to short-term intensive insulin therapy on -cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has grown globally including Saudi Arabia. However, there are no recent national and regional reports about DM in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the national and regional prevalence rates of DM among the Saudi population.
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have risk of cardiovascular complications if blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure (BP) are not optimally controlled. National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) has established a new management model to improve metabolic control.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. Statin reduces CVD risk. The ACC/AHA 2018 guideline on dyslipidemia recommends all patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to be given moderate-intensity statin. We aimed to determine the prescription practices of statins among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In this study, we analyzed the effect of stress hyperglycemia on patients admitted with diabetes mellitus. The effects of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) on left ventricular function and inflammatory factors in these patients with diabetes mellitus and myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were also studied.
To investigate the result of body impedance analysis (BIA) in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
Lifestyle modification is an integral aspect for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of personalized lifestyle advice. The study aims to analyse the real-world effectiveness of personalized glycemic response based Diabefly-Pro digital therapeutics for better glycemic control.
The significance of insulin antibody (IA) detection in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has received scant attention from county hospitals in China. We aimed to introduce exogenous IA positive rate and its relative factors in T2DM treated with insulin in Xiangshan County of Ningbo City, analyzing the immunogenicity of different kinds of insulin.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence, associated factors, and time for diabetic retinopathy (DR) development in Ecuadorian patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) followed for 10 years.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common endocrine diseases in children. Majority of them present with metabolic crises in the form of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis. Various levels of encephalopathy and seizures are the well-known manifestation of DKA.
The aim of this study is to assess for the change in progression of inflammatory, adiposity, and atherosclerotic markers in first degree relatives of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Garcinia kola (Gluttiferae) is recommended traditionally for the management of diabetes in Nigeria. This present study evaluated the effect of the ethanol extract of G. kola seeds on the biochemical and hematological status of alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
Osteocalcin (OC), also known as bone Gla (gamma-carboxyglutamic acid) protein, is a marker of bone formation. OC has effect on glucose and fat metabolism. Role of OC in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not well studied in Indian population. Our study aimed to see the relationship between OC and parameters of glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Recent studies have shown that Paraoxonase (PON1) enzyme plays a possible role in insulin synthesis by stimulating insulin release from -cells of the pancreas as well as its anti-atherosclerotic property. In our study, we revealed the relationship between phenotypes of the PON1 enzyme and insulin resistance (IR) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
