Objective. To determine the effects ofTinospora crispaon serum glucose and insulin levels in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Method. Serum from 10 healthy subjects and 10 diabetic participants, who had fasted overnight, were obtained every 30–60 minutes during the 3 hours of continued fasting and during the 3 hours after ingestion of 75 g of glucose with or without ingestion of 125 or 250 g ofTinospora crispadry powder capsule. Glucose and Insulin levels were analyzed and the areas under the curve for mean serum glucose and insulin levels were calculated.Result. The areas under the curve of mean serum glucose and insulin levels in both healthy and diabetic participants were not significantly different between with or withoutTinospora crispadry powder capsule. In diabetic participants the area under the curve of glucose was slightly lesser when 250 mg ofTinospora crispawas ingested, but not reaching statistical significance (478 and 444 mg min/ml, resp.,P=0.57).Conclusion. The results suggest thatTinospora crispaingestion cannot affect serum glucose and insulin levels in healthy subjects or patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction Overweight and obesity with their surrogate anthropometric markers like body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) have been shown to be strongly associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Neck circumference (NC) though less used can be an equally effective alternative to diagnose overweight and obesity in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus in a resource limited setting. MethodsPatients who had Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for 5 years or more and above 35 years underwent simple random sampling. Weight, height, WC and NC were measured. BMI was calculated and patients were graded into overweight and obesity based on the Asian cutoffs for BMI and abdominal obesity. ResultsAmong 100 patients enrolled in this study, 45% were men and the mean age was 53.05. Mean neck circumference was 36.55 ± 1.28 cm and 35.27 ± 1.78 cm for male and female respectively. NC was positively correlated with WC and BMI in both men and women (p ˂ 0.001). In the ROC curves, NC presented the largest area under the curve (AUC) for overweight in males (p ˂ 0.001), while NC presented a large AUC for central obesity in both genders. Furthermore, the cut off value of neck circumference for overweight was 35.6 cm in males vs 35.2 cm in females and for central obesity was 36.75 cm in males vs 34.75 cm in females. ConclusionNeck circumference was positively associated with overweight and central obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive and chronic disease characterized by both β-cell dysfunction and increased insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus is now considered a giant killer disease of the 21st century with its vicious prongs in the South-East Asian countries, specially India, which is rightly said to be the ''Diabetes Capital'' of the world. Vitamin D has important effects on insulin action, and may impact on a number of pathways which may be of importance in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials & Methods: In this study 62 Type-2 diabetic patients, 62 healthy controls were enrolled. Biochemical analytes measured were Serum glucose (Fasting Blood Sugar & Post Prandial Blood Sugar), Glycosylated Haemoglobin, Serum Vitamin-D. Results: The mean Serum Vitamin-D in Type-2 diabetic subjects were (16.3 ±3.0) while in healthy subjects(controls) the values were (39.3±5.2) respectively. These values were found to be statistically highly signicant(p<0.001). Conclusion: Serum Vitamin-D levels were decreased in Type 2 diabetic subjects as compared to the values in healthy subjects(controls).

Background : Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated to inflammatory state, which can be set off by the adipose tissue, once it is a metabolically active organ that can cause a chronic mild inflammatory state. Aim : To evaluate the correlation between preoperative C-reactive protein and postoperative complications risk in obese patients (grades II and III) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods : Between 2008 and 2013 were analysed 209 patients (107 with diabetes), presenting body mass index >40 kg/m2or >35 kg/m2with comorbidities. During the postoperative period, two groups were evaluated: with and without complications. Preoperative ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein was measured by immunonephelometry method. Results : Complications occurred in seven patients (pulmonary thromboembolism, fistula, two cases of suture leak, pancreatitis, evisceration and upper digestive hemorrhage). No statistical significance was found regarding lipid profile and C-reactive protein between patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. When compared to each other, both groups (with and without complications) presented with statistical significance regarding C-reactive protein level (7,2 mg/dl vs 3,7 mg/dl, p=0,016) and had similar weight loss percentage after 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up. Conclusions : Preoperative C-reactive protein serum level was higher in the group which presented complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when compared to the group without postoperative complications.

Objectives.To disclose the link between the composition of urolithiasis, especially that of uric acid calculi, and obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension.Materials and Methods.Patients who had urinary calculi and underwent surgical treatment were registered in the study. The composition of urinary calculi was analyzed and correlated with clinical features and biomedical profiles of the patients before surgical intervention.Results.A total of 666 patients with urolithiasis who underwent surgical management were registered and analyzed. In those who had uric acid calculi, there was a significant association with prediabetic (OR: 20.11, 95% CI: 7.40–54.63,P<0.001) and diabetic states (OR: 11.55, 95% CI: 4.41–29.97,P<0.001). It also seemed that uric acid calculi were related to obesity but there was no statistical significance (OR: 2.45, 95% CI: 0.91–6.62,P=0.078). There was no association of uric acid calculi with hypertension (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.54–2.17,P=0.822) and concurrent urinary tract infection (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.44–1.96,P=0.841).Conclusion.There was a remarkable association of uric acid calculi with prediabetic and diabetic states. The uric acid calculi were also seemingly associated with obesity in patients with urolithiasis undergoing surgical management.
