Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for about 90% of all diabetes cases worldwide. Type 2 DM is caused by the body's inability to respond well to insulin or called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance causes hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia which results in decreased uric acid excretion function in the kidney tubules, so that there will be an increase in uric acid in the blood or hyperuricemia. Type of research including descriptive with cross sectional approach. The examination was carried out at Dr. Adhyatma, MPH. The research respondents were 24 people, uric acid levels were examined with a TMS 50i Superior device. The data obtained is processed and presented in the form of diagrams and percentages. Type 2 DM respondents numbered 24 people. The highest hyperuricemia is based on the characteristics of the respondents, those are above 55 years old (25%), female sex (25%), high blood pressure (25%), and exercise activity 1x / day (21%). Of the 24 respondents, 14 people (58.3%) had normal uric acid levels and 10 people (41.6%) had hyperuricemia, with an average female uric acid value of 5.54 mg / dL and men of 6,48 mg / dL.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a non-communicable disease that has increased from year to year. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is not caused by lack of insulin secretion, but is caused by the failure of the body's cells to respond to the hormone insulin (insulin resistance). Insulin resistance was found to be a major contributor to atherogenic dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia in DM risks 2 to 4 times higher than non-DM. Although dyslipidemia has a great risk for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, this conventional risk factor only explains a portion (25%) of excess cardiovascular risk in type 2 DM. Discussion: In uncontrolled type 2 DM patients, LDL oxidation occurs faster which results from an increase in chronic blood glucose levels. Glycemic control as a determinant of DM progressivity is determined through HbA1c examination. HbA1c levels are associated with blood triglyceride levels. Meanwhile, triglyceride levels are associated with total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels. HbA1c levels are also associated with LDL cholesterol levels. Conclusion: There is a relationship between lipid profile and the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus.   Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, glycemic control, lipid profile

The Relationship

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that characterized by high blood sugar levels. This condition is often not noticed immediately and usually patient starting to realize it when complications have been occurred. A long-term complication of type 2 DM that occurred in men is erectile dysfunction (ED). ED is a condition when a person is unable to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse. One factor that influence the occurrence of ED and its severity in type 2 DM patients is the duration of the disease. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of type 2 DM duration and the occurrence of ED. Methods: This study is an observational analytic cross-sectional study conducted at the Puskesmas (Public Health Center) Denpasar Barat I. The research data was obtained through medical record data and fill the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire on 36 type 2 DM patients aged around 40-60 years. The statistical analysis used was Fisher's exact test. Results: The results showed that of the 36 samples, 19 (52.8%) samples had type 2 DM <24 months and 17 (47.2%) samples had type 2 DM >24 months. It was found that 5 (13.9%) samples did not experience ED while the rest experienced ED with different severity. There was a significant relationship between the type 2 DM duration and the occurrence of erectile dysfunction at Puskesmas Denpasar Barat I (p = 0.022). Conclusion: Study has found that type 2 DM patients with the longer duration (>24 months)  have a higher occurrence of ED and tended to be more severe compared to those with shorter duration (<24 months). Further studies should be performed with higher number of patients and more controlled risk factor so it will be more accurate in determining the relationship between the duration of type 2 DM and ED.

To determine the relationship between serum concentrations of uric acid and insulin secretion with hyperglycaemic clamp technique among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) without hyperuricemia, we carried out a cross-sectional study on 45 patients of both gender. We observed correlation between uric acid with male genderr=0.710(P=0.001). Also correlation between uric acid and total insulin secretion was positiver=0.295(P=0.049). As well as a positive correlation adjusted for body mass index was demonstrated for the first, second, and total phases of insulin secretion, respectively,r=0.438(P=0.022),r=0.433(P=0.022), andr=0.439(P=0.024). Serum concentration of uric acid showed a positive relationship with the total phase of insulin secretion; even in states prior to hyperuricemia, uric acid can play an important role in the function of the beta cell in patients with DM2.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA species that are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. The aim of the study was to establish a potential explanation of podocyte damage and proximal tubule (PT) dysfunction induced by deregulated miRNAs expression in the course of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). A total of 68 patients with type 2 DM and 11 healthy subjects were enrolled in a cross-sectional study and assessed concerning urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR), urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamininidase (NAG), urinary kidney injury molecule-1, urinary nephrin, podocalyxin, synaptopodin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary miRNA21, miRNA124, and miRNA192. In univariable regression analysis, miRNA21, miRNA124, and miRNA192 correlated with urinary nephrin, synaptopodin, podocalyxin, NAG, KIM-1, UACR, and eGFR. Multivariable regression analysis yielded models in which miRNA192 correlated with synaptopodin, uNAG, and eGFR (R2=0.902; P<0.0001), miRNA124 correlated with synaptopodin, uNAG, UACR, and eGFR (R2=0.881; P<0.0001), whereas miRNA21 correlated with podocalyxin, uNAG, UACR, and eGFR (R2=0.882; P<0.0001). Urinary miRNA192 expression was downregulated, while urinary miRNA21 and miRNA124 expressions were upregulated. In patients with type 2 DM, there is an association between podocyte injury and PT dysfunction, and miRNA excretion, even in the normoalbuminuria stage. This observation documents a potential role of the urinary profiles of miRNA21, miRNA124, and miRNA192 in early DN. Despite their variability across the segments of the nephron, urinary miRNAs may be considered as a reliable tool for the identification of novel biomarkers in order to characterize the genetic pattern of podocyte damage and PT dysfunction in early DN of type 2 DM.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease which affects the quality of life. It leads to multiple complications due to metabolic involvement. Out of multiple drugs used to treat diabetes, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are comparatively new drugs used for type-2-diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment. This study aimed to find out the drug utilization (DU) 90% and use of DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with type-2-DM.Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted at a private healthcare clinic of an endocrinologist in Nashik. Type-2-DM patients of both sexes were selected and a total of 199 patients were enrolled in the study. The consented patients were interviewed and prescription copies were collected. After studying them; statistical analysis was done and results and conclusions were drawn.Results: Out of total prescribed drugs, 58.77% of drugs were anti-diabetics. It was observed that the biguanides were most frequently (25.32%) prescribed while the least prescribed drugs were meglitinide analogues (0.08%). Most commonly utilized anti-diabetic found to be metformin. Vildagliptin 50 mg is the most commonly prescribed drug from DPP-4 inhibitors. Most of the drugs from the DPP-4 inhibitor group came under DU90%.Conclusions:DPP-4 inhibitors are showing wide acceptability by endocrinologists for type-2-DM management, according to this study. Performing repetitive drug utilization pattern study and circulation of standard treatment guidelines to practising physicians can be required. To emphasize the point on generic prescription, more awareness should be created. So that these can responses to further cost-effective and rational prescribing practices.

Waist Hip Ratio

Background and aim: Hyperuricemia is common in individuals with obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This has been attributed to the hyperinsulinemia due to insulin resistance in T2DM and it’s effect on the renal excretion of uric acid. There have been recent studies depicting that hyperuricemia may independently predict the development of diabetes. However, there are conflicting studies of hypouricemia in T2DM as well which may be due to increased glomerular filtration rate with increased renal clearance of uric acid. In order to add further evidence to the existing database of knowledge about uric acid metabolism in T2DM this study was carried out. Material and Methods: This cross sectional study and the subjects were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data recorded included serum uric acid, HbA1c, fasting and post prandial plasma glucose, serum creatinine, fasting lipid profile and waist hip ratio. Results: The mean value of serum uric acid was 5.11±1.2 mg/dL in diabetics and 4.59±1.12 mg/dL in non-diabetics, though within the normal reference range was statistically significant (p=0.029). However, the association of hyperuricemia (serum uric acid >7mg/dL) as a risk factor for diabetes mellitus was not significant (p=1.000). Waist circumference in cases was 94.8 ± 10 cm and in controls it was 86.6 ± 11.6 cm (p<0.001). Waist-hip ratio in diabetics was 1.0 ± 0.11 and in non-diabetics 0.9 ± 0.08 (p<0.001). HbA1c, FBS, PPBS, serum creatinine, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio were significantly increased and HDLc was decreased significantly in diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: Increased serum uric acid, decreased HDLc and increased waist-hip ratio are observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Steps should be taken to monitor serum uric acid, lipid profile and anthropometric measurements of diabetics and non-diabetics. Keywords: Uric acid, type 2 Diabetes mellitus

Objectives: The objectives of the study were (1) to study the cutaneous manifestations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in comparison to normal subjects and (2) to document the association between cutaneous manifestations and complications of DM. Materials and Methods: In this 1-year comparative cross-sectional study, 100 patients receiving treatment at the diabetic clinic of a tertiary center were evaluated for cutaneous manifestations and complications due to diabetes. The cutaneous features in diabetics were compared with that of normal controls. An attempt was made to find out any association between cutaneous features of DM and internal organ involvement due to diabetes. Results: Cutaneous manifestations were more frequent in patients with type 2 DM than normal controls. The most common manifestation in diabetics was fungal infection followed by bacterial infection. Diabetic dermopathy was found to have statistically significant association with nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy due to type 2 DM. Limitations: Limited sample size and study confined to a tertiary referral center. Conclusions: Dermatology manifestations provide important clues of prognostic significance in type 2 DM.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is common metabolic disorder leading to various complications including micro-vascular complication. Diabetes and thyroid dysfunction can result in abnormalities of one another, as both are strongly implicated in cellular metabolism.  Aim of study was to establish any association between hypothyroidism and micro-vascular complications in patients of type 2 DM. Material and Methods: This Hospital based Cross sectional analytical Study was included 80 Euthyroid and 80 hypothyroid patients of type 2 DM. These patients were subjected to fundus examination (for retinopathy), urine for spot albumin and creatinine ratio and routine microscopy (for nephropathy), clinical examination and NCV (for neuropathy). Results: Age of patients ranged from 30 – 80 years. Most patients had duration of Diabetes > 5 years. Diabetic retinopathy was found in 15% Euthyroid and 37.5% Hypothyroid diabetics (p=0.002). Neuropathy was more in Hypothyroid (35%) as compared to Euthyroid (12.5%) patients (p=0.003). Prevalence of Nephropathy was also significantly more (p=0.011) in Hypothyroids (60%) as compared to Euthyroid (38.75%). Conclusion: Significant association was found between hypothyroidism and micro vascular complications in type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Screening of diabetics for thyroid functions is essential to reduce morbidity. Keywords: Diabetes, thyroid, retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy

Introduction: Insulin Resistance (IR) can develop into type 2 diabetes mellitus and is closely associated with obesity. However, the non-obese population has also shown a predisposition to the risk of IR due to genetics. Aim: To assess the relationship between IR and obesity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by comparing the proportion of subjects with IR in lean and obese T2DM and to identify the factors predicting IR in T2DM. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, hospital-based study was done at Department of Medicine of RL Jalappa hospital, Kolar, Karnataka on 106 T2DM patients aged >18 years. The study population was grouped into lean (BMI <19 kg/m2) and obese adults (BMI >30 kg/m2). IR was calculated using Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and was considered as primary outcome variable. Obesity was considered as primary explanatory variable. Age, Gender, fasting insulin, C-peptide, Fasting Blood Sugar, Glycated haemoglobin (GHB or HbA1c) were the other explanatory variables. Descriptive analysis was carried out using mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables, frequency and proportion for categorical variables. Chi-square test was used to test statistical significance between the groups. Univariate logistic regression analysis was done to identify the predictors of IR. IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used for statistical analysis. The p-value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The 106 subjects involved in the study had a mean age of 53.88±9.21 years. 44 subjects (41.5%) had IR. Obese to lean diabetic patients were in the ratio of 1:4. The proportion of obese diabetic subjects was (n=84, 79.2%) whereas lean diabetics were (n=22, 20.8%). The proportion of obese diabetic subjects with IR was 38.1% while the proportion of lean diabetic subjects with IR was 54.55%, but this difference was statistically not significant (p=0.163). On univariate logistic regression analysis, fasting insulin (odds ratio of 2.442 with 95% CI of 1.665 to 3.851, p<0.001**) and C-peptide (odds ratio of 1.446 with 95% CI of 1.123, p=0.004) were statistically significant factors attributing to IR. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between IR and obesity. IR was independently associated with Fasting insulin levels and C-peptide levels.
