Atherosclerosis is the basic cause of macrovasular complications of diabetes mellitus. It affects all parts of the circulatory tree. An easy and reliable method of diagnosing atherosclerosis is Carotid Doppler ultrasonography. Increased Carotid Intima-Medial thickness (CIMT) and presence of carotid plaque is an important predictor of ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents. The purpose of this study was to find the association of carotid plaque with cardio-metabolic risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting:  Medical Out-patient Department of Creek General Hospital, Karachi. Period: One year from June 2015 to May 2016. Subjects and Methods: The study population included 119 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus. All subjects underwent Carotid Doppler ultrasonography. The demographic, anthropometric, clinical and laboratory data was collected and analyzed through SPSS ver.20.0. The relationship of carotid plaque with different atherosclerotic variables was assessed by Student’s t-test and Chi-square test. P-value of <0.5 was considered significant. Results: Out of 119 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 18.5% had a carotid plaque. The presence of plaque was associated with duration of diabetes, presence of hypertension, BMI, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride levels and CIMT. Conclusion: We need to focus on management of the multiple metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes mellitus in order to prevent atherosclerosis and its associated cardiovascular disease.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy occurs in 20 - 30% of diabetic cases globally, and microalbuminuria (MA) is the first symptom of this disorder. Some studies have suggested that there is an association between the serum magnesium (Mg) level and MA. Objectives: Therefore, we investigated the association between the serum Mg level and MA in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study on 122 subjects with T2DM. We categorized them into two groups of microalbuminuria (MA) and non-microalbuminuria (NMA) according to their urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR). MA was considered as a UACR of 30 to 300 mg/g. Participants were excluded if they had the following conditions: The age of under 16 years, cardiac, renal, or hepatic disorders, using corticosteroids, diuretics, Mg /calcium (Ca) supplements, and antiepileptic drugs, heavy physical activity within 24 hours before the test, pregnant and breastfeeding women, febrile patients, and patients who were unwilling to participate in the study. The analysis was performed using SPSS version 15. A P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Among the patients, 50.81% were male. Also, the mean body mass index (BMI) of the NMA group was greater than the MA group (29.84 ± 5.64 vs. 27.31 ± 3.14, P-value = 0.003). Mg levels of the MA and NMA groups showed no significant differences (2.13 ± 0.42 and 2.10 ± 0.43, respectively; P-value = 0.67). Overall, data analysis provided no significant difference between Mg level and the urine albumin concentration between the MA and NMA groups (P-value = 0.21 and 0.81, respectively.). Conclusions: Serum Mg level and MA have no significant relationship. Further prospective studies are needed to assay this issue.

Introduction and Aim:The atherosclerosis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality among diabetes population. Diabetes mellitus can accelerate atherosclerotic processes. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) plays a significant role in both glucose and lipid metabolism through adenosine. This study aimed to correlate the atherosclerotic index with adenosine deaminase levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The aim of the study is to find the association between serum ADA levels with atherosclerotic index.   Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in 100 subjects (50 control and 50 T2DM patients). The following biochemical parameter were estimated:total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL- C and ADA. VLDL, LDL and other atherosclerotic index were calculated using formulae. Statistical analysis such as Student’s‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation were performed.   Results: We found significant increase (p value <0.001) in lipid profile, Non-HDL-C and lipid ratio when compared to T2DM with control group. The correlation of serum ADA with lipid profile and lipid ratio didnot show any correlation.   Conclusion: Serum ADA used as a biomarker for evaluation of glycemic status. ADA was insignificant, when correlated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic index.

Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Indonesia has continued to increase over the years. Management of T2DM is challenging across clinical settings, including primary and tertiary care. Uncontrolled T2DM puts patients at risk of the development of T2DM complications, especially early-stage dry skin that is neglected by most of the patilents. This study aimed to investigate the comparison between the T2DM management profile and dry skin clinical profile of T2DM patients in primary care and tertiary care settings. Methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional epidemiological study by comparing T2DM patient profiles in primary and tertiary care. The data collected included sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory data that were correlated with T2DM and early dry skin related-T2DM. This study included early dry skin within the SRRC score of 3-11 and excluded infection, ulcer, and severe erythema. Results: The patients in primary and tertiary care presented poorly controlled T2DM with median HbA1c levels of 7.8% and 7.6%. The patients in primary care also presented with high triglyceride, 179 mg/dl. Furthermore, several significant differences were found in the duration of T2DM, duration of dry skin, and DM treatment (OAD and insulin). Conclusions: Significant differences in the duration of T2DM, duration of dry skin, and DM treatment (OAD and insulin) might be affected by the parameter of T2DM glycemic control (Blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), HbA1c, random blood glucose (RBG), and triglyceride).

Background: There is paucity of data regarding the relationship between the severity of left ventricular dysfunction and renal function impairment in diabetic patients. Aims and objectives was to study the relation between eGFR and ejection fraction in type 2 diabetes mellitus of more than 5 years duration.Methods: This cross sectional was carried out from May 2017 to May 2018 at Yenepoya Medical college a tertiary care center in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The data on 220 diabetic patients were studied. A detailed clinical history physical examination was carried out on the study population as per the approved proforma. Apart from base line investigations, eGFR was calculated using serum creatinine levels. 2D echocardiography was done for the assessment of ventricular function.Results: Out of 220 patients, 138 were men (63%) and 82 were women (37%) and the mean age of the patients was 59.60±11.145 years. The mean duration of diabetes was 10.08±5.28 years. We found a progressive reduction in ejection fraction from 57.74±9.97% to 50.64±14.7 as the eGFR declined from <90 mL/min/1.73m2 to 30 mL/min/1.73m2. There was significant correlation between eGFR and RWMA (p value 0.001) and LVDD (p value 0.029) in this study cohort. Micro/macroalbuminuria was found to be in 55% of patients. Proteinuria had significant correlation with longer duration of diabetes, blood urea, serum creatinine and eGFR.Conclusions: This study found positive clinical correlation between LVEF and eGFR. However, it did not reach significant levels statistically. Further studies may be carried out to confirm the association.

Abstract Background Pancreatic steatosis correlates with the thickness of arterial intima. However, the correlation between pancreatic steatosis and carotid atherosclerosis plaque, which better predict the prognosis of cardiovascular disease, is unclear. We aimed to explore potential effects of pancreatic fat content measured by computer tomography (CT) on carotid plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Patients with T2DM who underwent CT scan of the upper abdomen and ultrasound of the carotid artery were consecutively enrolled. Based on ultrasound results, the patients were divided into non-plaque group and plaque group, and the latter was categorized into hypoechoic plaque subgroup and non-hypoechoic plaque subgroup. The CT attenuation of pancreas and spleen were measured. Pancreas-to-spleen attenuation ratio (P/S) and difference between pancreatic and splenic attenuation (P-S) were calculated. The cut-off values of P/S and P-S were obtained using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate association of P/S or P-S with carotid plaque or hypoechoic plaque.Results A total of 337 patients with T2DM were enrolled, including 101 cases (30.0%) in the non-plaque group, 146 cases (43.3%) in the hypoechoic plaque subgroup, and 90 cases (26.7%) in the non-hypoechoic plaque subgroup. P/S and P-S in plaque group were lower than those in non-plaque group, with a cut-off value of P/S and P-S as 0.72 and -13.33, respectively. After adjusting for risk factors, P/S and P-S correlated with carotid plaque [for low P/S: OR (95% CI): 3.15 (1.47-6.73), P=0.0031; for low P-S: OR (95% CI): 2.84 (1.42-5.66), P=0.0031] as well as carotid hypoechoic plaque [for low P/S: OR (95% CI): 1.82 (1.07-3.08), P=0.0259; for low P-S: OR (95% CI): 1.82 (1.09-3.02), P=0.021].Conclusions T2DM patients with carotid plaque have higher pancreatic fat content than those without. Pancreatic steatosis correlates with carotid plaque and hypoechoic plaque in T2DM patients.

Aim and Objective:: Diabetes mellitus is associated with inflammation and increased oxidative stress. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and serum pro-oxidantantioxidant balance (PAB) in a large population-based study. Methods:: In this cross-sectional study, 7888 individuals recruited as part of the Mashhad Stroke and Heart Atherosclerotic Disorders (MASHAD) cohort study. Participants were divided into three groups, based on their serum PAB values (levels < 36.4, 36.4-82.6 and > 82.6 HK). Serum PAB values were measured using a colorimetric method and enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Results:: Serum PAB in subjects with and without diabetes was reported 76.85 ± 61.07 HK and 69.51 ± 55.50 HK. In subjects with a serum PAB > 82.6 HK the risk of T2DM was 1.2 fold higher in comparison to subjects with a serum PAB < 36.4 HK (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.09 – 1.47, P-value: 0.002). This association remained significant after adjustment for confounding factors in multivariable analysis (OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.02 – 1.38, P-value: 0.027). Conclusion:: Increased pro-oxidant levels may be a major complication of T2DM in our study subjects and PAB could be an indicator of higher oxidative stress in T2DM patients from northeastern Iran.
