Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients tend to have abnormal lipid profiles, explaining the association between elevated cholesterol andtriglyceride levels in diabetic patients and coronary heart disease. This study aims to evaluate how the common risk factors for dyslipidemia affectthe lipid profile of diabetic patients and to determine which factors can be used as predictors for the occurrence of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients.Methods: A total of 238 diabetic patients (63 male and 175 female; age: 31–70 years) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. All of them hadundergone regular examinations in cohort studies on risk factors for non-communicable diseases conducted by the Ministry of Health in Bogorbetween December 2017 and January 2018.Results: The result found that age differences did not affect lipid profile levels, and the females had higher mean values of body mass index (p<0.001),total cholesterol (TC) (p<0.05), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (p<0.001) than the males. The most common occurrences of dyslipidemia werehigh TC level (57.1%), followed by high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level (47.1%), high triglyceride level (37.4%), and low HDL level (16.4%). Beingoverweight was found to be the best predictor of dyslipidemia.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that in T2DM patients, sex affects TC and HDL levels, whereas age does not exert a significant effect onthe lipid profiles. In addition, poor glycemic control, hypertension, and obesity may serve as predictors of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients.

Background and Aims: Microalbuminuria is an early marker of diabetic nephropathy, which accounts for a significant reduction in life expectancy of diabetic patients. Timely detection of microalbuminuria facilitates appropriate preventive and therapeutic approaches to minimize risks. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and association of microalbuminuria with clinical profile and complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This study was a descriptive, cross sectional study involving 100 diabetic subjects between July 2018 to January 2019 at Bir Hospital. Microalbuminuria (mg/dl) was defined as spot urine albumin to creatinine ratio of 30-300 mg/g (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines) in a single spot urine sample. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical package for the social sciences version 20. Results: Microalbuminuria was found in 35% of the sample and the rate was significantly higher among males (P =0.027). Microalbuminuria was significantly related to Body mass index (P = 0.018), duration of diabetes (P =0.000), retinopathy (P = 0.000) and stroke (P = 0.043). No statistically significant relation was found between microalbuminuria and age (P = 0.366), hypertension (P = 0.208), HbA1c (P = 0.098), dyslipidemia (P = 0.171) and ischemic heart disease (P = 0.651). Conclusions: This study shows high prevalence of microalbuminuria in Nepalese Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Screening for microalbuminuria should be done for all the type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for early detection and management of complications of diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk fac­tors that is responsible for most of the excess cardiovascular morbidity amongst patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Presence of MetS in T2DM markedly increases the risk for coronary heart disease, stroke and premature deaths. This study was undertaken to find the prevalence of MetS and its individual components among patients with T2DM visiting Chitwan Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Bharat­pur, Nepal. Methods: A laboratory-based descriptive cross sectional study carried out at CMC-TH between January and August, 2017. Data obtained in­cluded anthropometric indices, blood pressure and fasting serum lipid profile. National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used for diagnosis of MetS. Data was ana­lyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The overall prevalence of MetS among 150 T2DM patients (Mean age= 53.70±10.83 years, Male:Female=84:66) was 60%. The prev­alence was higher in females compared to males (75.75% vs.47.62%, P<0.001). High blood pressure was the commonest MetS component. Following that, decreased HDL-c was the predominant component in females whereas raised triglyceride in the males. SBP/DBP, BMI and waist circumference were significantly associated with MetS. Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS is high in diabetic patients, particu­larly in females and middle age group adults, with high blood pressure and hypertriglyceridemia as the commonest abnormalities. As MetS adds to the cardiovascular risk to the already at-risk diabetic popula­tion, timely identification and appropriate intervention is of utmost im­portance in reduction of disease burden in T2DM patients.

Background: Anemia is more frequent and severe in diabetics compared to non-diabetic patients. Chronic anemia results in tissue hypoxia, which is known to play a key role in diabetes-associated organ damage. Hence it is important to diagnose and correct anemia in diabetic patients. This study was done to elucidate the effect of glycemic control on haemoglobin levels in patients with type 2 Diabetes mellitus.Methods: The present study is an observational, cross sectional study conducted between November 2017 to May 2019 carried out in hospitals attached to Bangalore Medical college and Research Institute. A sample of 60 patients with Diabetes mellitus were included, out of which 28 were female and 32 were male patients.Results: Study was conducted on 60 patients, the age distribution was between 29yrs to 88yrs with mean age was 56±11yrs. Out of 60 patients 23 patients had anemia. There was slight positive correlation between haemoglobin percentage and HbA1c. But this was not statistically significant.Conclusions: The study concludes that Glycemic control was not found to influence the Haemoglobin levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus in a significant manner. In subjects with anemia, multiple other issues need to be addressed for improvement in haematocrit value and prevention of complications of diabetes apart from glycemic control.

Background: Patients with chronic diseases often experience difficulty adhering to recommended treatments as instructed by their healthcare professionals. Recently, diabetes has been associated with the severity of the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19), which raises the importance of improving medication adherence for diabetic patients to enhance the right use of antidiabetics amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This work assesses medication adherence among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and identifies the set of key demographic and health factors significantly associated with medication adherence. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on an appropriate sample of type 2 diabetic patients in the UAE, with 180 patients of both genders and various social levels. A validated version of the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) was used for data collection. Results:  The average MMAS score was 4.88, with 95% confidence intervals (CI) 4.6 and 5.2. 61.67% (n=111), 28.89% (n=52), and 9.44% (n=17) of patients were categorized into low, medium, and high adherent groups, respectively. These findings indicate that a high level of non-compliance to antidiabetic regimens among the population in the UAE. Conclusions: Patients demonstrated low level of compliance to antidiabetic regimens. Therefore, they must receive up-to-date knowledge about the disease and the treatment and enable easy access to their health care providers to enhance medication adherence.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is associated with various metabolic disorders, which leads to the progression of the disease and its complications. The aim of the study is to find out prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its association with the components and demographic variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among diabetes mellitus patients at a Tertiary level teaching hospital over a period of one year (April 2015 to March 2016). The study involved the use of a questionnaire to obtain information on diabetes by performing anthropometric measurements and corroborating it with respective blood samples collected for the measurement of biochemical parameters, fasting blood glucose and lipid profile. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the current guidelines, revised in 2005 by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the American Heart Association. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 20 was used as a tool for statistical analysis. Results: This cross-sectional study involved 200 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 71% in the studied Nepalese population. Central obesity (77.5%) and hypertension (76.8%) were the commonest risk factors. It was followed by dyslipidemia among which 65.5% had high triglyceride level and 50.7% had low level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome was seen in male patients with type 2 diabetes which accounted for 84 (73.3%). Three components of metabolic syndrome were seen among 70 (35%) and five components among 29 (14.5%) patients. Among the patients who were studied, the age group 45 to 54, 55 to 64 and 65 to 74 years had 14 (20%), 20 (28.6%) and 19 (27.1%) of more than three components of metabolic syndrome respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 71% among the patients with type 2 diabetes, where high prevalence was seen among males. In our study central obesity and hypertension along with increasing age were the most common component causing metabolic syndrome.
