Background: Diabetes and its complications are one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. The aim of the study is to elucidate the prevalence and associated risk factors of microvascular complication among diabetes mellitus type 2 population of Ajmer, Rajasthan India.Methods: This is the study of 464 newly detected type 2 diabetic people screened for their biochemical parameters, attending outpatient department comprising of 256 male and 208 female. The presence of complications was evaluated by relevant investigations.Results: Microvascular complication namely retinopathy was diagnosed in 344 (74%) of type 2 diabetic patients, neuropathy in 200 (43%), nephropathy in 138 (30%). Linear regression analysis concluded that age, body mass index, duration, family history, stress, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C), triglyceride and total cholesterol were significantly associated with these vascular complications. Prevalence of microvascular complications increases with age, duration, body mass index (BMI), hereditary and poor glycemic control.Conclusions: Retinopathy and neuropathy were the most prevalent microvascular complication in type 2 diabetic population.

Aim of study: The main goal of this study was to compare the various degenerative changes in the Achilles tendon of type 2 diabetic patients to that of controls. The influence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, duration of diabetes mellitus, age, and body mass index on the occurrence of degenerative changes was also evaluated. Materials and methods: The Achilles tendons of both limbs were evaluated with high-resolution ultrasound in 80 type 2 diabetics and 80 age/sex-matched controls. A 10 g Semmes Weinstein monofilament was used to examine for peripheral neuropathy. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical assessment of glycemic control (fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin) were also done. Results: The mean age of type 2 diabetic subjects and healthy controls was 60.9 ± 10.3 years (range 41–79 years) and 61.0 ± 10.3 years (range 40–79 years), respectively (p = 0.963). The median duration of diabetes mellitus was 42.0 months (range = 1–456 months). The prevalence of degenerative changes (calcifications, disorganized fibers and/or hypoechoic foci) was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic subjects than controls in both the right (55.0% vs. 18.8%, p <0.001) and left (52.5% vs. 18.8%, p <0.001) feet. Conclusion: The Achilles tendons of type 2 diabetic subjects have significantly more degenerative changes than their age/ sex-matched controls in our locality. Disorganized Achilles tendon fibers occur significantly more often among male than female type 2 diabetic subjects. Disorganization of Achilles tendon fibers and hypoechoic foci are significantly more prevalent in type 2 diabetic subjects with peripheral neuropathy than those without peripheral neuropathy. Body mass index did not affect the occurrence of degenerative changes in the Achilles tendon of participants.

Abstract The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus has been rapidly growing in developing countries, both in urban and rural contexts. Ethiopia has the largest diabetes population in sub-Saharan Africa (2.6 million adult people). At Wolisso Hospital, a collaboration is underway between Doctors with Africa CUAMM and the local Association of Diabetic Patients, with the aim of guaranteeing the correct monitoring and treatment of the disease. Between December 2018 and May 2019, 244 diabetic patients were visited in a dedicated outpatient room in Wolisso Hospital; in 55 selected patients (type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, ≥ 2 visits in the 6 months, on insulin therapy), a further set of variables was measured, including: modality of insulin storage, monthly glycemic measurements, compliance with prescribed therapy, glycemic control, knowledge of glycemic target. Based on their urban or rural provenience, patients were split in two groups (27 urban, 28 rural). The χ2-test was used to determine significance. P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A statistically significant difference was reported for the following variables: availability of a fridge for insulin storage (51.9% urban vs 21.4% rural, p = 0.039), compliance with prescribed therapy (63.0% urban vs 35.7% rural, p = 0.043), prevalence of hypertension (55.6% urban vs 28.6% rural, p = 0.043), alcohol consumption (32.1% rural vs 11.1% urban, p = 0.018). 13/27 urban patients and 21/28 rural patients reported that they stored insulin in the sand. No substantial variation between the groups is observed for BMI, glycemic control, number of monthly glycemic measurements and knowledge of glycemic target. The differences highlighted between type 2 diabetic patients from urban and rural districts of the area of Wolisso suggest that these populations probably have different features and risk factors; this consideration may be useful in the organization of specific public health interventions aimed at addressing the issue in the different settings. Key messages The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus has been rapidly growing in developing countries, both in urban and rural contexts. The differences highlighted between type 2 diabetic patients from urban and rural districts of the area of Wolisso suggest that these populations probably have different features and risk factors.
