Background and objectives: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of CKD in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bangladesh is not well described. The present study aimed to find out the prevalence of CKD stages 3-5 and its risk factors among selected Bangladeshi T2DM patients.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in BIRDEM (Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders) General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July to December 2015. Diagnosed adult T2DM patients were consecutively and purposively included in this study. Pregnant women, patients with diagnosed kidney disease due to non-diabetic etiology, acute kidney injury (AKI), AKI on CKD and patients on renal replacement therapy were excluded. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and laboratory parameters were recorded systematically in a predesigned data sheet. Diagnosis of CKD and its stages were determined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guidelines 2012 and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Estimated GFR was calculated by using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Cockcroft-Gault (CG) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKDEPI) creatinine based formula.Results: A total of 400 patients with T2DM of various durations were enrolled in the study. Out of 400 patients, 254 (63.5%), 259 (64.75%) and 218 (54.5%) cases had CKD stages 3-5 according to MDRD, C-G and CKD-EPI equations respectively. CKD was significantly more common in females (p<0.001) and in cases with long duration of diabetes (?5 years; p=0.007). CKD stages 3-5 were significantly associated with hypertension (?2=5.2125, p =0.02) and good control of diabetes (HbA1c <7%) as evidenced by higher proportion of CKD in them (73.3%) compared to those with poor glycemic control (52.1%).Conclusions: More than half of T2DM patients had CKD stages 3-5. Female gender, duration of diabetes and hypertension were significant risk factors and should be emphasized for the prevention of CKD in T2DM. Glycemic control may not reduce CKD in diabetes.IMC J Med Sci 2017; 11(1): 19-24

ABSTRACT This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of probiotics for glycemic control in adults with impaired glucose control, including prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, and trial registries up to February 2019. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of participants with prediabetes or T2DM. Eligible trials compared probiotics versus either placebo, no intervention, or comparison probiotics, or compared synbiotics versus prebiotics. Primary outcomes were mean change in fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to short term (&lt;12 wk) and long term (≥12 wk). We performed meta-analyses using the random-effects model. We included 28 RCTs (1947 participants). Overall, probiotics reduced FBG more than the placebo/no intervention group with a mean difference (MD) of –12.99 mg/dL (95% CI: –23.55, –2.42; P value: 0.016) over the short term; and –2.99 mg/dL (95% CI: –5.84, –0.13; P value: 0.040) over the long term. There was also some evidence for reduced HbA1c in the probiotics group at both short term (MD: –0.17; 95% CI: –0.37, 0.02; P value: 0.084) and long term (MD: –0.14; 95% CI: –0.34, 0.06; P value: 0.172), however, these did not reach statistical significance possibly because only a few trials reported HbA1c as an outcome. Subgroup analyses showed a greater reduction in HbA1c in participants not receiving insulin therapy than those receiving insulin therapy. Furthermore, the effect of probiotics on the reduction of FBG was more pronounced in participants with FBG &gt;130 mg/dL and those not receiving insulin therapy than their counterparts. Probiotics were also effective in lowering serum cholesterol over the short and long term. In conclusion, we found that probiotics may have a glucose-lowering effect in T2DM participants. The effect appeared to be stronger in participants with poorly controlled diabetes and those not on insulin therapy. Systematic review registration: CRD42019121682.

Background: Plasma fibrinogen is an indicator of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction has been described as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity in type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients. Poor glycemic control has been reported to be associated with hyperfibrinogenemia and its complications. This study was aimed to find a correlation of mean fibrinogen level with glycemic control in complicated and uncomplicated cases of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: One hundred eight known cases of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus aged ≥ 30 were included in our study of which 39 cases were uncomplicated and 69 cases were complicated Diabetes mellitus. Hundred of non-diabetic age and sex-matched controls were analyzed. Blood samples were collected in Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and citrate bulb for estimation of HbA1c and plasma fibrinogen level respectively. Results: Mean fibrinogen level in complicated Type 2 Diabetes mellitus was high 450.43 ±108.51 mg/dl as compared to uncomplicated cases 372.30±123.78 mg/dl (p=0.0001). Mean HbA1c in total Diabetes mellitus cases was 8.02±1.88 mg/dl with a range of 5.50-14.50 mg/dl. A positive correlation was found between HbA1c and mean fibrinogen level (r=0.782, p= 0.001) in type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Duration of diabetes in years showed a significant correlation with mean fibrinogen levels (r=0.295, p=0.002). Conclusions: Plasma fibrinogen level was significantly associated with glycemic control (HbA1c) and duration of Diabetes mellitus in years. Thus, lowering plasma fibrinogen levels could be an important approach to the prevention of cardiovascular complications in diabetics.

A practitioner has a wide range of the hypoglycemic drugs for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment, which can be used within a normal or near-normal range for long-term glycemic control. However, the question remains whether there are ways to achieve not only satisfactory glycemic control, but also T2DM remission (or even complete cure). The review presents an update on the concept of T2DM remission and describes the ways of its possible achievement with non-drug and drug treatments and surgery. The mechanisms of T2DM remission are given.
