Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a systemic metabolic disorder that possesses macro- and microangiopathic consequences. Studies have demonstrated that a relationship exists between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and DM, particularly in patients of older age, longer disease duration, and uncontrolled DM. The pathophysiology of DM related hearing loss is poorly understood, however proposed mechanisms include ischemia, fibrosis, demyelination, and atrophy of the eighth cranial nerve. We however, present a case of acute, transient sensorineural hearing loss in the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis that resolved with blood glucose control. Clinical Case: A 34-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus (A1c 6.5% -diagnosed 6 months prior), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and morbid obesity presented with shortness of breath and acute hearing loss without tinnitus, after being treated for pneumonia and otitis media with a course of levofloxacin for 7 days. On presentation, patient was tachypneic and tachycardic. Physical examination was significant for mild erythema of the right tympanic membrane without bulging, fluid level, mastoid tenderness, or discharge. Laboratory values were significant for hyperglycemia with blood glucose of 628 mg/dL(n 70–99 mg/dL), A1c 15.9% (n 4.8–5.6%), bicarbonate 8 mmol/L (21–31 mmol/L), anion gap 37 mmol/L (9–16 mmol/L), beta-hydroxybutyrate 11.7 mmol/L (0.02–0.27 mmol/L). Venous gas was suggestive of metabolic acidosis, urinalysis was positive for moderate ketones and glucose &gt;500 mg/dL. The patient was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis and was started on an insulin drip. An audiogram revealed profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. A Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the bilateral temporal bones was negative for abnormalities, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was negative for morphologic abnormalities of 7th and 8th cranial nerves. Infectious and rheumatologic etiologies were excluded with normal syphilis FTA-ABs, Lyme PCR, Rheumatoid factor, ANCA, and ANA. The patient received one dose of empiric prednisone. His hearing improved after 2 days with normalization of blood glucose to a range of 100–200 mg/dL. A repeat audiogram and auditory brainstem response showed significant improvement with normal bilateral hearing. Discussion: SNHL in DM typically presents in a gradual progression with bilateral involvement, affecting higher frequencies. In patients with DM, studies show that chronicity (greater than 10 years) is strongly associated with SNHL. Other variables include older age and HbA1c greater than 8%. This is the first case to demonstrate acute bilateral SNHL, associated with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus, which resolved after blood glucose control. In the appropriate context, clinicians should consider significant hyperglycemia as a possible etiology of acute hearing loss.

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy is an important complication of diabetes mellitus leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To study the awareness of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the factors influencing patient awareness of diabetic nephropathy. Patients and Methods: Four hundred subjects, aged above 18 years with T2DM as per American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria, were selected. Patient awareness regarding diabetic nephropathy was assessed as per a prefixed questionnaire. Results: Awareness of basic information concerning diabetes was present in more than 60% of patients. No significant differences were seen between awareness scores of male and female (P = 0.385), rural and urban (P = 0.120) and literate and illiterate (P = 0.567) diabetic patients. Awareness scores were higher in diabetic patients exceeding 50 years of age (P = 0.004) and patients having diabetes for more than10 years (P < 0.0001), controlled diabetes (P = 0.026) and diabetic nephropathy (P < 0.0001). Awareness of diabetic nephropathy was independently associated with duration of diabetes (P = 0.010) and diabetic nephropathy (P = 0.011) but not with age (P = 0.754) and control of diabetes (P = 0.229). Conclusion: A substantial proportion of diabetic patients are still unaware of the basic facts about diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. Awareness of diabetic nephropathy depended upon duration of diabetes and presence of diabetic nephropathy and requires promotion during early stages of diabetes to improve control of diabetes and prevent diabetic nephropathy.

Background: Musculoskeletal complications of diabetes have been generally ignored and poorly treated as compared to other complications. Hence we carried out this study to find the prevalence of musculoskeletal manifestations in type II diabetes mellitus and its correlation with age, BMI, duration of diabetes, and control of diabetes.Methods: 100 consecutive patients of type II diabetes were studied. Duration of diabetes, control of diabetes, and any musculoskeletal complaints were noted. Complete examination with special reference to BMI, waist circumference and waist hip ratio was done. Fasting and postprandial blood sugar and HbA1c was estimated. Correlation of musculoskeletal manifestations with age, BMI, duration of diabetes, and control of diabetes was evaluated and statistical analysis was done.Results: Study shows that the prevalence of musculoskeletal manifestations was 42%. Difficulty with stairs (73 cases) and joint pain (87cases) were the commonest difficulties patients experienced. Most common affected joint was shoulder joint (56%). Adhesive capsulitis (28 cases), tendonitis (15 cases), limited joint mobility (3 cases) were commonest musculoskeletal manifestations. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between musculoskeletal 
manifestations and age (odds ratio: 4.4), BMI (odds ratio: 9.6), and control of diabetes (odds ratio: 2.61). There was a positive correlation between duration of diabetes and the presence of musculoskeletal manifestations; however it was not statistically significant.Conclusions: Musculoskeletal manifestations are frequent in Type 2 diabetics and have a positive correlation with age, duration of diabetes, control of diabetes, and BMI.
