Blood Viscosity, Glycemic Markers and Blood Pressure: A Study in Middle-Aged Normotensive and Hypertensive Type 2 Diabetics

We carried out three types of 2-hr experimental sessions with middle-aged and older adults with Type 2 diabetes in order to examine the acute effect of interrupting prolonged sitting with varying periods of standing on postprandial glycemia and blood pressure (BP): (a) prolonged sitting after breakfast; (b) standing for 10 min, 30 min after breakfast; and (c) standing for 20 min, 30 min after breakfast. Glucose and BP were assessed before and after breakfast. A generalized linear model revealed no significant differences for the incremental area under the curve of glucose between standing for 10 min, 30 min after breakfast, versus prolonged sitting after breakfast (β = –4.5 mg/dl/2 hr, 95% CI [–17.3, 8.4]) and standing for 20 min, 30 min after breakfast, versus prolonged sitting after breakfast (β = 0.9 mg/dl/2 hr, 95% CI [–11.9, 13.7]). There was no difference in area under the curve of systolic and diastolic BP among the sessions. Interrupting prolonged sitting time with 10 or 20 min of standing 30 min after breakfast does not attenuate postprandial glycemia or BP in middle-aged and older adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Introduction. Current clinical practice requires simple and available tools for cardiovascular risk assessment in diabetic patients. Material and methods. This study included 290 type 2 diabetics of both sexes. The following anthropometric parameters were measured: body mass index, waist circumference, sagital abdominal diameter, while ensuing parameters included: waist-to-stature ratio(WSH), ratio of abdominal sagital diameter to height (SADE), and conicity index. Metabolic status was evaluated based on lipidograms and HbAlc, and of cardiovascular parameters blood pressure was measured. Results. Female patients were obese, with central accumulation of fat, elevated blood pressure and lipid disorders such as hypo-HDL cholesterolemia. The applied anthropometric parameters and indicators ensuing from them (WSH, SADH and conicity index), are reliable indicators of elevated blood pressure in diabetic patients. Conclusion. The obtained results showed negative correlation with HDL cholesterol in women, which indirectly indicates to development of hypertension, as one of the most common diabetic complications. Central accumulation of fat with dyslipidemic disorder, characteristic of metabolic syndrome, is of highest importance. Sagital abdominal diameter (SAD) and WSH showed the highest correlation with lipidograms in females, whereas BMI was the best indicator in males. .

Background.Using Micral-test (MT) for screening microalbuminuria (MA) among type 2 diabetics (T2D) is helpful. We aimed at determining prevalence of MA and at describing the MT validity.Methods.We studied 182 T2D followed up in family medicine. Two 24-hour urinary quantitative assays of MA had been used as a gold standard.Results. Prevalence of MA was 23%, CI 95%: 16.9–29.1. MT validity was 77% for sensitivity, 88% for negative predictive value, and 0.2 for Kappa coefficient (p=0.001). Among subjects having a blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg, having a CHT/HDL ratio ≥ 3, being a T2D for more than 5 years, and being women, negative predictive values were, respectively, 91%, 89%, 95%, and 91%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.81 in men (p=0.008) and 0.80 when diabetes duration exceeds 5 years (p=0.001). The MA value at 100% Sp for MT was 35 mg/L.Conclusion.The use of MT in primary healthcare for yearly screening for MA in T2D must be accentuated especially when diabetes duration exceeds 5 years or when associated with other cardiovascular risks.
