Introduction: World most prevalence disease, is diabetes mellitus, with countless causes, it on increasing, genetic, lifestyle, infections could all be contributors as causative agents especially type 2 diabetes mellitus, increase inflammatory biomarkers plays extremely critical and vital role in progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus. So this study aimed to assess glycated hemoglobin levels and inflammatory biomarkers among T2DM and find such correlation and compare data with healthy control. Method: Cross-sectional case control study among 100 case group T2DM and 100 healthy subjects as control group, HbA1c and inflammatory biomarkers, C-reactive protein, IL6 and TNF-alpha were measured for study groups. Enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) used for measurement of inflammatory biomarkers TNF-α, CRP, IL6 and Cystatin C. while HbA1c assessed by ichroma device. Result:  HbA1c, C-reactive protein, IL6 and TNF-alpha were increased among T2DM patients than healthy subjects, giving increased significant difference for each, as p value <0.05. Pearson’s correlation of HbA1c with each of measured parameters showed that HbA1c has positive correlation with inflammatory biomarkers TNF-α. (R= 0.812** P=0.00), CRP(R= 0.527** P=0.00), IL6, (R= 0.778** P=0.00) and Cystatin C (R= 0.884** P=0.00) respectively. Conclusion: higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers associate with increase with glycated hemoglobin, Improvement of glycemic control reduce risk markers for development of diabetic complications. Key words: HbA1c Levels and inflammatory biomarkers, tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 6.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is difficult to treat. The present study explored the efficacy of (liraglutide) Lira in treating T2DM complicated with NAFLD. A total of 127 patients suffering from T2DM complicated with NAFLD were enrolled in the present study, and randomly assigned to a Lira group (liraglutide injection: 0.6–1.2 mg/day, 12 weeks, n=52) or a Metformin (Met) group (oral metformin: 1000–1500 mg/day, 12 weeks, n=75). During the treatment phase, the values for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h plasma glucose (2hPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and adiponectin (APN) decreased in both the Lira and Met groups, and the levels of Δ2hPG, ΔAST/ALT, and ΔAPN in the Lira group were significantly lower than those in the Met group. The values for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-and high-density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL), ALT, AST, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and C-reactive protein were markedly increased in both groups, and levels of ΔAST, ΔALT, Δweight, ΔBMI, ΔWHR, and ΔCRP (C-reactive protein) in the Lira group were significantly higher than those in the Met group. An analysis of treatment efficacy showed that liraglutide was better than metformin in its ability to significantly decrease the ALT levels in patients with combined T2DM and NAFLD. Furthermore, liraglutide was more effective than metformin at ameliorating the severity of T2DM complicated with NAFLD, and produced its effects by alleviating liver inflammation and improving liver function.

Background : Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated to inflammatory state, which can be set off by the adipose tissue, once it is a metabolically active organ that can cause a chronic mild inflammatory state. Aim : To evaluate the correlation between preoperative C-reactive protein and postoperative complications risk in obese patients (grades II and III) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods : Between 2008 and 2013 were analysed 209 patients (107 with diabetes), presenting body mass index >40 kg/m2or >35 kg/m2with comorbidities. During the postoperative period, two groups were evaluated: with and without complications. Preoperative ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein was measured by immunonephelometry method. Results : Complications occurred in seven patients (pulmonary thromboembolism, fistula, two cases of suture leak, pancreatitis, evisceration and upper digestive hemorrhage). No statistical significance was found regarding lipid profile and C-reactive protein between patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. When compared to each other, both groups (with and without complications) presented with statistical significance regarding C-reactive protein level (7,2 mg/dl vs 3,7 mg/dl, p=0,016) and had similar weight loss percentage after 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up. Conclusions : Preoperative C-reactive protein serum level was higher in the group which presented complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when compared to the group without postoperative complications.
