Among the two types of DM, T2DM is prevalent among pre and post-menopausal women. Such women encounter many complications like MetS, IR, obesity, hypertension and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Although hormone replacement is the treatment to restore oestrogen, such treatment has its limitations. This review article brings out the recent research findings during the last 10 years on the prevalence, treatment options, usefulness of biochemical indices and improvement observed based on laboratory diagnosis. The contents of this review article will help future researches to undertake biochemistry analytes based diagnostic criteria to improve the T2DM status in such patients.

AbstractBackground:Previous studies have suggested that the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy and the oral contraceptive pill have an effect upon nasal physiology.Objectives:This study aimed to assess the effects upon nasal physiology of female hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. This has not been previously studied.Methods:Twenty post-menopausal women (age range 36 to 70 years; mean age 57.0 years) underwent measurements of the nasal airway, including anterior rhinoscopy, peak nasal inspiratory flow rate, acoustic rhinometry, anterior rhinomanometry, mucociliary clearance time and rhinitis quality of life questionnaire. Measurements of nasal patency were recorded prior to commencing hormone replacement therapy and at a time point 77–195 days (mean 101.9 days) following commencement.Results:There was no statistical difference found for any of the variables, using the paired t-test (p > 0.05 for all).Conclusions:Female hormone replacement therapy has no discernable effect upon nasal physiology and should not be considered a cause of rhinitic symptoms.
