Catalpol isolated from Rehmannia glutinosa is a potent antioxidant and investigated against many disorders. This review appraises the key molecular pathways of catalpol against diabetes mellitus and its complications. Multiple search engines including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were used to retrieve publications containing the keywords “Catalpol”, “Type 1 diabetes mellitus”, “Type 2 diabetes mellitus”, and “diabetic complications”. Catalpol promotes IRS-1/PI3K/AKT/GLUT2 activity and suppresses Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and Glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) expression in the liver. Catalpol induces myogenesis by increasing MyoD/MyoG/MHC expression and improves mitochondria function through the AMPK/PGC-1α/PPAR-γ and TFAM signaling in skeletal muscles. Catalpol downregulates the pro-inflammatory markers and upregulates the anti-inflammatory markers in adipose tissues. Catalpol exerts antioxidant properties through increasing superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat), and glutathione peroxidase (gsh-px) activity in the pancreas and liver. Catalpol has been shown to have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, and anti-fibrosis properties that in turn bring beneficial effects in diabetic complications. Its nephroprotective effect is related to the modulation of the AGE/RAGE/NF-κB and TGF-β/smad2/3 pathways. Catalpol produces a neuroprotective effect by increasing the expression of protein Kinase-C (PKC) and Cav-1. Furthermore, catalpol exhibits a cardioprotective effect through the apelin/APJ and ROS/NF-κB/Neat1 pathway. Catalpol stimulates proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast cells in high glucose condition. Lastly, catalpol shows its potential in preventing neurodegeneration in the retina with NF-κB downregulation. Overall, catalpol exhibits numerous beneficial effects on diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications.

Background and aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate serum Magnesium and lipid prole in diabetic patients and to nd out any correlation between serum magnesium and lipid prole in diabetic patients and its association with complications. Material and Methods: In the present study, 70 diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged >30 years attending Diabetic Outpatient and Inpatient Department at Vivekananda Polyclinic giving their consent for inclusion were considered to be included in the study as Cases. Results:In present the study, mean S. magnesium levels of patients with diabetic complications were found to be signicantly lower (1.09±0.22 mg/dl) as compared to that of patients in whom no diabetic complications were seen (2.19±0.71) and this difference was signicant statistically.Conclusions: In the diabetic population correlations of serum magnesium and Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and VLDL were Mild while HDL was of moderate level. Among controls correlations of Serum Magnesium with Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL, and HDL were found to be weak and not found to be statistically signicant.

*** Oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin ***AIMS: To evaluate oxidative stress parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin, relating these values to its side effects, plasma levels, glycemic control, diabetic complications, lipid profile, and the influence of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up.METHODS: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, on metformin and in pharmacotherapeutic follow-up for four months, were evaluated. The pharmacotherapeutic follow-up consisted in providing information and answering patients’ questions about medication and disease. In addition, administration times, dosages, and presence or absence of side effects related to the use of metformin were verified. Glycemic and lipid profile, oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde) and plasma metformin were evaluated. Pearson’s correlation and Spearman’s correlation were performed to evaluate the relationship between the variables at the beginning of the study. The independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to assess the difference between the groups with and without diabetic complications. The range of values between the beginning and  end of the study was evaluated using Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon U test. The significance level was set at 5%.RESULTS: The initial sample consisted of 49 patients aged 59±9 years with a body mass index of 29.8±5.1 kg/m2, who have had diabetes for a median time of 36 months (interquartile range of 1-240) and have been on metformin for a median time of 36 months (interquartile range of 1-180). Twenty-five patients left the study between the second and fourth meetings. Malondialdehyde levels differed between before and after pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, being positively correlated with blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, and triglyceride level, and negatively correlated with metformin and superoxide dismutase. Blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, and malondialdehyde levels increased, whereas metformin levels decreased in the group with diabetic complications, and there was a correlation between malondialdehyde and the number of diabetic complications per patient.CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin, oxidative stress was more pronounced in those with poor glycemic control and diabetic complications.

All over the world, an increase in type 1 diabetes mellitus is noted annually, along with its late complications. In recent years, more and more information has appeared aimed at the prevention and rehabilitation of children with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a genetically determined disease, in the development of which the main component is an autoimmune process that triggers the destruction of β-cells, which leads to a decrease in insulin production, and subsequently to its absolute insufficiency, the main method of treatment is insulin replacement therapy. To select an adequate dose of insulin, it is necessary to take into account HbA1c, glycemic and glucosuric profiles. Children are advised to use semi-synthetic or genetically engineered insulins. In children, intensified insulin therapy is more often used in the form of a combination of short and medium-acting insulins or ultra-short with prolonged ones. This article presents an analysis of insulin therapy and self-control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. It was found that children with diabetic nephropathy approached their illness less responsibly, did not always count bread units and kept records in self-control diaries. Also, this group of children were more likely to receive human insulin with the use of syringe pens. The nutrition of children with diabetes should not be inferior in calories to that of healthy adolescents, while the energy value of the daily diet should be calculated taking into account age, gender, body weight, and energy expenditures. Taking into account the possibility of regression of the initial diabetic complications when the compensation of carbohydrate metabolism is achieved, therapy for type 1 diabetes is a means of preventing the development of severe diabetic complications.

All cases of diabetic ketoacidosis admitted to Prince Zaid Hospital between 1993 and 1997 were analysed for precipitating causes and outcome. Of 167 cases, 89 were male and 78 female, with a mean age of 38 years. It was the initial presentation of diabetes mellitus in 21% of the patients. Infection and noncompliance were the leading precipitating causes but no cause was found in 14% of the patients. The mortality rate was 4.8%. Educating the public and patients about diabetic complications and therapy is the key to prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis.
