Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that diminishes the quality and life expectancy of the patients by impacting a significant morbidity and mortality due to its associated complications. Diabetic ketoacidosis is considered as one such acute life-threatening complication of diabetes that is considered a medical emergency.Methods: The study was conducted as a retrospective analysis of 65 patients diagnosed as Type 2 diabetes mellitus as per the criteria of American Diabetes Association 2019 were included in the study. After the ethical clearance, the study was conducted at the Employment State Insurance Corporation Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science and Research, Chennai over a period of 6 months from October 2019 to March 2020. A statistical analysis was done and all the calculations were based on two-sided hypothesis with p<0.05 interpreted as significant.Results: The analysis of the study showed there was a significant prevalence of hypoalbuminemia (37%) among the patients with diabetes admitted with acute hyperglycemia. The occurrence of ketonuria among those patients with hypoalbuminemia were 62.5% [odds ratio (OR): 3.15, p value: 0.02].Conclusions: From the study, serum albumin levels has an inverse correlation in patients with acute hyperglycemia. Furthermore, low serum albumin harbingers the risk to ketosis in patients admitted with acute hyperglycemia thereby mirroring the relative insulin deficiency in these patients. Serum albumin can be used by the treating physician as a cost-effective tool and a marker for insulin reserve of the beta cell in an individual admitted with acute hyperglycemia, it can be used as a reliable indicator to identify those at risk to ketosis thereby to prevent and treat the dreaded diabetes related complications.

ABSTRACT : Diabetes Mellitus being a metabolic disorder of  multiple etiology, shared the phenotype of  hyperglycemia along  with the disturbance of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism resulting  from the defects in insulin secretion,  action or both. It is one among the lifestyle disorders. Lifestyle disorders are the diseases which are associated  with the way a person or group of  people live. The incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is not only confined  to  the developed countries but the developing countries are also at high risk due to the increased westernization and  also with the rapid economic development. In India, as the disease profile is changing rapidly, the situation is quite  alarming. Modern medical science has achieved a tremendous development in anti-diabetics. Inspite of this,there  is an increasing need for improving the overall health of an individual. Cost effective Ayurvedic lifestyle  modifications can contribute towards preventing the burden of this disease. Ayurveda may prove to be effective in  the management of Apathyanimittaja Prameha as it is very difficult to prescribe strict calculated calorie diet, so, it  is better option to suggest among the traditional foods with possible modifications and this can contribute alot in  prevention.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to insufficient secretion or action of insulin.Elevated oxidative stress and diminished antioxidants may play an important role to develop T2DM and its complications. Aldose reductase (AR) enzyme plays a key role in the reduction of glucose to sorbitol by Polyol pathway. To estimate the AR activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and in patients with T2DM. In this case-control study, a total number of 60 subjects (30 T2DM and 30 age-matched controls) wererecruited.Fasting blood sugar (FBS), Post-Prandial blood sugar (PPBS), AR activity and MDA levels were estimated in all the subjects. The AR activity was estimated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidation method. The plasma MDA levels were estimated by the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) method. For Statistical analysis, all the data were compared between the two groups by using unpaired t-test. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated among T2DM. A P value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant for all data analyzed. The mean of FBS, PPBS, AR activity, and MDA levels were found significantly high in T2DM as compared to controls (P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively). A significant positive correlation was found between FBS and PPBS among T2DM (r=0.71, P<0.01). However, There was no significant correlation found between AR activity and MDA level among T2DM (r=0.002, P>0.05). Results showed thatthe mean of FBS, PPBS, AR activity, and MDA levels were found significantly higher in T2DM than controls. There was no significant correlation found between AR activity and MDA level among T2DM.

Background: Diastolic dysfunction in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus represents an earlier stage in the natural history of cardiomyopathy. This study was done to assess the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in recently diagnosed (<5yr) Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Echocardiography and also to determine association of glycemic status (by HBA1c levels) with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD).Methods: An observational descriptive study involving 100 diabetic patients, taken on first come first serve basis after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all the subjects, other than routine investigations, HbA1c was estimated and echocardiography was done to evaluate LVDD.Results: Mean value of HbA1c in the study was 8.31+ 1.408 %. 63 out of 100 subjects had LVDD. There was significant positive correlation between HbA1c and LVDD (p value <0.001). As HbA1c increased, severity of LVDD increased. In this study, as BMI increased, HbA1c and LVDD increased & both findings were statistically significant (p value =0.001).Conclusion: Our study indicates that myocardial damage in patients with diabetes affects diastolic function before systolic function &higher HbA1C level is strongly associated with presence of LVDD. Patients should be advised strict control of diabetes in order to reduce the risk for developing LVDD which is a precursor for more advanced disease.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Diastolic dysfunction, BMI, HbA1c

BACKGROUND:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a major non-communicable disease resulting from insulin resistance and is associated with cardiovascular,neurological and renal complications.Recent studies show association of hyperuricemia and Diabetes Mellitus.Uric acid increases oxidative stress that leads to vascular dysfunction and high intra glomerular pressure leading to renal complications.High serum creatinine is an indicator of renal compromise. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to find association between them. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in Osmania general hospital. Fifty cases of established Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus formed the study group and 50 normal healthy individuals formed the control group. Serum uric acid, Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS) and serum creatinine were estimated by colorimetric enzymatic methods on Beckman coulter AU5800.Mean values were compared in cases and controls using student t- test.Study group was further studied under 2 subgroups with serum Uric acid < 7 mg/dl and ≥7 mg/dl.In these 2 subgroups the association of Serum uric acid with FBS and creatinine was analysed statistically. RESULTS: Serum uric acid were found high in cases(7.63+/- 3.36)as compared to controls(4.48+/- 1.09) p value < 0.001.Serum creatinine were also high in cases(1.59+/- 1.39 )as compared to controls ( 0.87+/- 0.29) p value <0.005.Study subgroup with serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dl was associated with high creatinine and high fasting blood sugar levels when compared to subgroup with serum uric acid <7 mg/dl. CONCLUSION: Our study showed increased serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in cases when compared to controls.There was significant association between high serum uric acid and high creatinine levels in cases.Therefore,it is important to measure serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in diabetics for early detection of renal pathology.
