Background. Over the past few years, special attention has been paid to achieving glycaemic control for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, since it is a factor for determining the risk of developing macro- and microvascular complications of diabetes. Certain modern guidelines suggest an individual approach to the choice of HbA1c target. Objective. Objective.  . of this study was to estimate the percentage of T2DM patients who have reached the HbA1c levels. This was determined based on their age and the presence of severe complications. Materials and Methods. A total of 2195 patients with T2DM were studied. The patients were divided into the following age groups:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) morbidity has increased over the past years. Its rapid growth affects young subjects among those of other age groups including adolescents and pre-pubertal children. The diseases develops in the association with obesity and metabolic syndrome but remains asymptomatic during a long period. Therefore, its detection requires an active diagnostic search. The present clinical recommendations highlight the major problems pertaining to the diagnostic and treatment strategies for the management of the patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background and aims: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is becoming an epidemic. The diversity of etiological factors contributes to the fact that both types of diabetes mellitus occur among different age groups and among different segments of the population. Activation of various types of processes that lead to oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, the development of atherosclerotic changes, increases the risk of macro- and microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus. Material and methods: The experiments were performed on 172 white Wistar rats weighing 120–150 g. All animals were kept on a standard I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University (TNMU), vivarium diet. In our studies, for the first time was established a distinct cardioprotective effect of quercetin-containing drugs, Corvitin and Lipoflavon, for the purpose of normalizing disorders in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus coupled with obesity, which opens wide opportunities for the introduction of these drugs into diabetic cardiomyopathy. Results: The results obtained are an experimental rationale for extending the indications of clinical use of Corvitin and Lipoflavon. Conclusion: Lipoflavon in the experimental type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus coupled with obesity significantly outperforms Corvitin in terms of TBA-active products and diene conjugates.

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease associated with a rise in the level of blood glucose. Individuals with diabetes mellitus are more likely to develop hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness due to macro- and microvascular complications. The extent to which auditory and vestibular functions are impaired in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus is still under debate. Objective To systematically review studies focusing on auditory and vestibular functions in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Data Synthesis A search was conducted in the PubMed, MedlinePlus, Ingenta Connect and Google Scholar databases for articles published until June 2019. A total of 15,980 articles were primarily retrieved, 33 of which were shortlisted based on the inclusion criteria set by the investigators for the systematic review. Out of 33 full-length articles, 26 evaluated the functioning of the auditory system, while 7 evaluated the functioning of the vestibular system. Most studies related to auditory functioning reported a significant effect of type-2 diabetes mellitus on the peripheral auditory system, whereas studies on vestibular functioning reported no significant effect of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the peripheral vestibular end-organ. Conclusion Overall, the results of various audiological and peripheral vestibular tests reveal distinctive peripheral and/or central auditory and vestibular end-organ impairments in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective. Type 2 deiodinase (Dio2) is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of T4 to T3. The Thr92Ala polymorphism has been shown related to an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study is to assess the association between this polymorphism and glycemic control in T2DM patients as marked by the HbA1C levels.Design and Methods.The terms “rs225014,” “thr92ala,” “T92A,” or “dio2 a/g” were used to search for eligible studies in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases and Google Scholar. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies including both polymorphism testing and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) assays were performed.Results. Four studies were selected, totaling 2190 subjects. The pooled mean difference of the studies was 0.48% (95% CI, 0.18–0.77%), indicating that type 2 diabetics homozygous for the Dio2 Thr92Ala polymorphism had higher HbA1C levels.Conclusions. Homozygosity for the Dio2 Thr92Ala polymorphism is associated with higher HbA1C levels in T2DM patients. To confirm this conclusion, more studies of larger populations are needed.

  Objective: Examines the effects of counseling and short messages service (SMS) as a reminder and motivation toward medication adherence improvement and controlled HbA1c levels of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental method with prospective data retrieval. The subjects of this study were 40 patients with outpatient T2DM in internal disease polyclinic in West Nusa Tenggara Hospital, Indonesia. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: The control group (n=20) receiving only the drug care service and the treatment group (n=20) receiving counseling and SMS reminder and motivation from the pharmacist. Data collecting was conducted using the pill count method, and HbA1c levels were taken from the medical record.Results: The results showed that counseling and SMS as reminder and motivation by a pharmacist can improve treatment adherence significantly (p<0.05) by 11.33 ± 8.47 and can decrease HbA1c level significantly (p<0.05) of 1.32 ± 0.72 in the intervention group. There was a positive correlation between T2DM patient treatment adherence to HbA1c levels (r=0.254, p=0.023).Conclusion: The provision of counseling and SMS as a reminder and motivation by the pharmacist can have a positive effect toward medication adherence and control of HbA1c in T2DM patients.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that has increased from year to year. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is not caused by lack of insulin secretion, but is caused by the failure of the body's cells to respond to the hormone insulin (insulin resistance). Insulin resistance was found to be a major contributor to atherogenic dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia in DM risks 2 to 4 times higher than non-DM. Although dyslipidemia has a great risk for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, this conventional risk factor only explains a portion (25%) of excess cardiovascular risk in type 2 DM. Discussion: In uncontrolled type 2 DM patients, LDL oxidation occurs faster which results from an increase in chronic blood glucose levels. Glycemic control as a determinant of DM progressivity is determined through HbA1c examination. HbA1c levels are associated with blood triglyceride levels. Meanwhile, triglyceride levels are associated with total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels. HbA1c levels are also associated with LDL cholesterol levels. Conclusion: There is a relationship between lipid profile and the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus.   Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, glycemic control, lipid profile
