Abstract Background: Mounting evidence has demonstrated a reciprocal association between diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases, characterized by loss of alveolar bone, gingival recession and root exposure. Recently, studies showed that type 2 diabetes patients were at high risk to development root caries. This essay aims to clarify the relationship between root surface caries (RC) and periodontal parameters in diabetes patients, as well as evaluate relevant risk factors in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and Methods: A total of 132 qualified adult patients with T2DM and periodontitis were recruited to this study. Radiographic data were collected to calculate alveolar bone loss (ABL). Subjects were assigned to three groups according to tertiles of ABL to make a comparison. Decayed and/or filled teeth (DFT) were calculated for both coronal and root surface as the caries indices of the remaining teeth. The plaque index (PLI), gingival recession (GR), probing depth (PD) at six sites per tooth, number of missing teeth, number of retained root remnants, and number of teeth with furcal lesions were recorded during clinical examinations. Blood analyses were carried out for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting glucose. Correlation analysis, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and logistic regression were used to analyse the data. Results: By analyzing covariance, the research found that subjects with increased ABL have significantly higher numbers of missing teeth, root surface caries DFT, teeth with furcal lesions ( P <0.05). There is a significant positive correlation between root surface caries DFT and ABL, GR, coronal caries DFT ( P <0.05), respectively. ABL, coronal caries and age became significant predictor variables for Root Surface DFT (≥3)) ( P <0.05). Conclusion: Root surface caries were associated with ABL, GR and coronal caries in periodontitis with T2DM as well as ABL, coronal caries and age became risk factors for predicting the occurence of RC.

Background: In recent times much is talked about of serum ferritin, an acute phase reactant a marker of iron stores in the body and its association with diabetes mellitus. Studies implicate that increased body iron stores and subclinical hemochromatosis has been associated with the development of glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes and its micro as well as macrovascular complications. Material & Methods: This study was carried out to examine and to observe for any relationship between serum ferritin with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our study populations were included 163. Among them 81 type 2 diabetes patients as a case (M=49,F=32, mean 44.68 age in years)and 82 normal healthy individual as a control ( M=35, F=47 , mean 34.71 in years). Results: Majority were healthy outpatients who had come for regular checkup and were matched with controls. Serum ferritin and FBS were estimated and other investigations. Results showed that although Serum ferritin was in the normal range value it was increased in type 2 diabetes patients than in controls and was statistically significant, we did get a positive correlation with duration of diabetes. It can be concluded that there were positive associations between serum ferritin and FBG, age, sex among study groups. Conclusion: In conclusion our study shows that there is significant correlation between increased serum ferritin in diabetes compared to individuals with normal blood sugars in this part and hyper ferritinemia may be one of the causes for development of insulin resistance before overt diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a type of chronic disease with exceptional medical care for a patient's lifetime, which ultimately requires lifestyle and behavioural adjustments to prevent complications to death. Patients with good self-care behaviour will cause diabetes to be controlled to avoid complications to death and make patients have a better quality of life. AIM: This study aims (1) to determine the model of self-care behaviour in Type 2 diabetes patients in Binjai City (2) to analyse the effect of self-care behaviour on quality of life, metabolic control and lipid control of Type 2 diabetes patients in Binjai City. METHODS: This type of research is survey-based and explanatory using a cross-sectional approach. The study population was Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients who remained patients in 8 primary health centres in Binjai City. The consecutive sampling yielded a sample size of 115 people. Data analysis method uses descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SPSS and Amos 16.0. RESULTS: The results showed that all factors that build T2DM patient self-care behaviour were able to be predictors that shape the patient's self-care behaviour. The self-care behaviour model consists of knowledge, attitudes, communication, financing, family support, motivation, and self-efficacy. Motivation is the most significant predictor of its contribution to the self-care behaviour of Type 2 diabetes patients. Self-care behaviour was also known to be significantly related to the quality of life, metabolic control and lipid control of T2DM patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Self-care behaviour in T2DM patients can have a substantial and significant impact on quality of life, metabolic control and lipid control possessed by Type 2 Diabetes patients.

AbstractType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that is becoming a significant global health care problem. Several studies have shown that people with diabetes are more susceptible to oral problems, such as periodontitis and, although the causes are still inconclusive, the oral microbiota seems to be an important factor in this interaction. This study aimed to characterize the oral microbiome of a sample representing T2DM patients from Portugal and exploit potential associations between some microorganisms and variables like teeth brushing, smoking habits, and nutrient intake. By sequencing the hypervariable regions V3-V4 of the 16S rRNA gene in 50 individuals belonging to a group of diabetes patients and a control group, we found a total of 233 taxa, from which only 65% were shared between both groups. No differences were found in terms of alpha and beta diversity between groups or habits categories. Also, there were no significant differences in the oral microbiome profiles of control and diabetes patients. Only the class Synergistia and the genus TG5, which are related to periodontitis, were statistically more frequent in the control group. This finding can be justified by the fact that these diabetic patients usually have their oral health under close medical control than an average healthy person, which in this study was represented by the control group.IMPORTANCEDiabetes has become a significant global health care issue as its incidence continues to increase exponentially, with type 2 diabetes being responsible for more than 90% of these cases. Portugal is one of the countries with a higher prevalence of diabetes in Europe. It has been reported that diabetic people have an increased risk of developing several health problems such as oral infections mostly caused by opportunistic pathogens. Some studies have pointed out a relationship between diabetes and oral microbiome. Therefore, the characterization of the microbial ecosystem of the mouth in reference groups is crucial to provide information to tackle oral health pathogen-borne conditions. In this study, we provide the first characterization of the oral microbiome of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from Portugal, and therefore, contributing new data and knowledge to elucidate the relationship between diabetes and the oral microbiome.

A research plan has been developed in the present study to address the problems associated with Avaranajanya Madhumeha (type 2 diabetes). This research plan is based on the treatment methods of Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine) and utilization of modern scientific methods as research tools. A specific ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation has been prepared in Ghansatt (solid extract) form; the selected eight herbs and one herbo-mineral have anti-hyperglycemic (PRAMEHA HARA) and antihypercholestermic (MEDOHARA) properties with rejuvenative (RASAYANA) effects as described in classical ayurvedic methods. 15 diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients were selected through accidental sampling. Ayurvedic formulation was prescribed to type II diabetes patients for one year along with dietary restrictions. Diabetic diagnostic parameters of these patients like Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Post Patrum Blood Sugar (PPBS), Glycocylated Hemoglobin (HbA1C) and Urine Sugar Fasting were monitored every three months; these were measured before and after intervention. The obtained data were statistically analyzed through paired t-test. There was significant reduction in FBS level, PPBS level, HbA1C level and urine fasting sugar level in type 2 diabetes patients who completed the clinical trial successfully. Thus, ayurvedic formulation treatment lead to an overall significant reduction in blood sugar and urine sugar levels in type II diabetes patients. No side effects were noted during the study period. This study suggests that the ayurvedic formulation had very good hypoglycemic effects proved by clinical improvement and bio-chemical analysis of diabetes parameters in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.
