Progressivity of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with a condition of chronic inflammation. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) has become a potential new marker of inflammation to detect chronic inflammation. This research aimed to determine NLR differences between controlled type 2 DM and uncontrolled type 2 DM groups. This research conducted an observational with a cross-sectional approach to 56 patients with type 2 diabetes. The identity, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory data of routine blood exam and HbA1c were carried out on each research subject, and then the NLR calculations were performed. The subjects were 20 (35.70%) controlled type 2 DM patients, 36 (64.30%) uncontrolled type 2 DM patients, consisting of 36 (64.30%) male and 20 (35.70%) females. The NLR value was statistically significantly higher in uncontrolled type 2 DM patients than controlled type 2 DM patients, which was 1.90±0.84 compared to 1.52±0.50 (p=0.035). There was a significant difference in the NLR value between the uncontrolled type 2 DM group and the controlled type 2 DM group.

OBJECTIVE: The rate of reduction of nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) is lesser than normal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC) disrupts vascular structure and function, no matter the underlying causes. The risk of development of vascular disease is greater in diabetic patients with hyperhomocysteinemia than in patients with normal homocystein levels. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there are differences of homocystein levels in dipper and non-dippers patients with type 2 DM. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We compared 50 patients (33 females, 17 males) with type 2 DM and 35 healthy individuals (18 females, 17 males ) in a control group. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed and homocysteine levels were measured in all patients. RESULTS: We found that the percentage of non-dipper pattern was 72% in patients with type 2 DM and 57% in control group. In diabetic and control individuals, homocystein levels were higher in non-dipper (respectively 13.4 ± 8.1 µmol/L and 11.8 ± 5 µmol/L) than in dipper subjects (respectively, 11.8 ± 5.8 µmol/L and 10.1 ± 4.2 µmol/L), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (respectively, p = 0.545, p = 0.294). CONCLUSION: In both groups, homocystein levels were higher in non-dipper than in dipper participants, but there was no significant difference between the groups. High homocystein levels and the non-dipper pattern increases cardiovascular risk. Therefore, the relationship between nocturnal blood pressure changes and homocystein levels should be investigated in a larger study.

Objective. To investigate the effects of Tai chi in type 2 diabetes mellitus (type-2 DM) patients using systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods. Seven electronic resource databases were searched, and randomized controlled trials on the role of Tai chi in type-2 DM patients were retrieved. The meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3, and research quality evaluation was conducted with the modified Jadad scale. Results. Fourteen studies, with 798 individuals related to the intervention of Tai chi on diabetes, were included. The results showed that, compared with nonexercise, Tai chi had the effect of lowering fasting blood glucose [MD = −1.39, 95% CI (−1.95, −0.84), P<0.0001] and the subgroup effect size decreased with the increase of total exercise amount, there is no significant difference between Tai chi and other aerobic exercises [MD = −0.50, 95% CI (−1.02, 0.02), P=0.06]; compared with nonexercise, Tai chi could reduce HbA1c [MD = −0.21, 95% CI (−0.61, 0.19), P=0.31], and the group effect size decreased with the increase of total exercise amount. The reducing HbA1c effect of Tai chi was better than that of other aerobic exercises, but the difference was at the margin of statistical significance [MD = −0.19, 95% CI (−0.37, 0.00), P=0.05]; compared with nonexercise, Tai chi had the effect of reducing 2 h postprandial blood glucose [MD = −2.07, 95% CI (−2.89, −1.26), P=0.0002], there is no significant difference between Tai chi and other aerobic exercises in reducing 2 h postprandial blood glucose [MD = −0.44, 95% CI (−1.42, 0.54), P=0.38]. Conclusion. Tai chi can effectively affect the management of blood glucose and HbA1c in type-2 DM patients. Long-term adherence to Tai chi has a better role in reducing blood glucose and HbA1c levels in type 2 DM patients.

Objective:  Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic and progressive disease that significantly impairs the workforce and economy due to its complications. This study aims to evaluate patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus who use different oral antidiabetic medications with regard to glycemic control and diabetic complications. Materials and Methods: This study included 200 patients who were being followed-up for a diagnosis of Type 2 DM. Results: Of the 200 patients included in the study, 131 were on metformin monotherapy and 69 were on metformin and gliclazide combination therapy. HbA1c value of Metformin monotherapy prescribed patients was7,6%±1,5, metformin+gliclazide prescribed patients was 8,2%±1,9. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood glucose levels (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to microvascular complications and body mass index. Conclusion: Our study determined that the level of glycemic control manifested by Type 2 DM patients was suboptimal despite using different types of oral antidiabetics and that their body mass indices were high. We reached the conclusion that the present situation is linked to factors such as incorrect dietary habits, inadequate exercise and walking, failure to comply with the medical treatment suggested by the physician, and lack of awareness about the severity of the disease.

Abstract Aims Bariatric surgery has been implicated as a practical therapeutic approach to cure Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Hence, the present study aims to analyse the factors that can predict type2 diabetes remission after bariatric surgery and the recent literature to update information by systematic review. Methods Search strategy followed PICOS framework and PRISMA standards. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases were searched. SPSS version 19 and RevMan 5.0 software were utilised for statistical analysis. Result Five articles were eligible for inclusion from 2010 to November 2019. The mean age of the population in the remission group was younger (40.24 years) than the non-remission groups (p &lt; 0.02). Statistically, a significant difference (p &lt; 0.08) was also found with mean HbA1c in the remission group (7.78%) than the non-remission group (8.96%). Mean BMI and duration of DM were different in two groups, but statistical significance was not observed. Conclusion ABCD (Age, BMI, C-peptide and duration of type 2 DM) score has been widely used over the years for defining remission in type 2 DM following bariatric surgery. The current analysis statistically identified advanced age and HbA1c levels as an influential factor for non-remission. Though the difference in BMI and duration of DM noticed in two groups, it was not statistically significant. Our analysis is in agreement and the continuation of the review by Wang et al. (2015). He concluded that younger age group, shorter duration of type 2 DM and adequate glycemic control were responsible for remission after bariatric surgery.
