This study addresses the prevalence of ischemic heart disease, hypertension and long-term complications of diabetes mellitus among patients attending the diabetic clinic and their relation to glycemic control. Methods: A study was conducted on a cross-section on all consecutive patients attending the diabetic clinic at King Khalid National Guard Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from January 2007 to January 2008. The degree of glycemic control was gauged using blood level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and classified into good (less 7%), fair (7.1-8%), poor (8.1-9%) and very poor (greater than 9%). All patients were screened for hypertension, ischemic heart disease and microvascular complications. Results: Two hundred and ten patients were recruited in the study. Glycemic control was good in 17 (8.1%), fair in 49 (23.2%), poor in 56 (26.6%) and very poor in 88 (41.9%). There was high prevalence of retinopathy (76; 36%), microalbuminuria (80; 37.9%), neuropathy (108; 51.2%) and ischemic heart disease (51; 24.2%), especially among patients with poor and very poor control. Although the presence of hypertension, frank nephropathy and peripheral vascular disease was also disturbingly high among diabetic patients, their frequency was the same among good, fair, poor and very poor glycemic control groups. Conclusion: The prevalence of long-term complications of diabetes mellitus was alarmingly high among Saudi nationals. Microvascular complications and ischemic heart disease were also noticed to be more common in diabetics with poor and very poor glycemic control. This emphasizes the need of national awareness program about the gravity of the problem.

Background: Recent evidence suggests that inflammatory markers and poor glycemic control are significantly associated with the development of cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between inflammatory marker (CRP) and glycemic status (HbA1c) in ischemic heart disease patients. Method: This cross sectional study was performed on 668 patients of ischemic heart disease in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, who underwent Coronary angiogram from January 2017 to December 2017. CRP value were divided into normal (<6 mg/L), borderline (6-10 mg/L) and high (>10 mg/L) and HbA1c was divided <6.5% and ≥6.5%. After performed Coronary angiography the extent of disease was divided into insignificant CAD of (<50% stenosis), significant CAD considered as >50% stenosis and single vessel, double vessel, triple vessel CAD and normal coronaries. The relationship between CRP with HbA1c was analyzed by Chi square test. ANOVA test was used to analyze the continuous variables, shown with mean and standard deviation. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the relationship between CRP and HbA1c in CAD patients. p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: Most (65.0%) of the patients belonged to age 41-60 years. The mean age was found 51.4±10.7 years. Majority (82.3%) of patients were male. Among risk factors, highest (40.0%) patients had hypertension followed by 209 (31.3%) diabetes mellitus and 204 (30.5%) smoker. Positive correlation was found (r=0.220, p= 0.001) between HbA1c with CRP in CAD patients. High CRP was found 138(38.4%) in <6.5% HbA1c and 187(60.5%) in ≥6.5 percent HbA1c. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Multi variable logistic regression was found high HbA1c, high CRP and diabetes mellitus were statistically significant (p<0.05) in severe CAD (Double and triple vessel) patient. Conclusion: Positive correlation was found between serum levels of CRP and HbA1c in CAD patients. Thus, aiming at good glycemic control and estimation of serum CRP levels will possibly be of help in planning early intervention, thereby preventing further complications which in turn may help preserve cardiac functions in ischemic heart disease patients.

Introduction: Hyperuricemia is common Type 2 diabetes at very high cardiovascular risk. Objective: Evaluate the relationship between hyperuricemia and diabetes type 2, and determine its predictive factors in this population. Patients and Methods: Retrospective study cross including 190 patients with diabetes type 2 hospitalized Service of Endocrinology of CHU Ibn Rushd Casablanca from January 2015 to December 2017. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration> 70 mg/L (men) and> 60 mg/L (women). The variables studied were the anthropometric measurements), cardiovascular factors (tobacco, hypertension, dyslipidemia), and degenerative complications (retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney failure, ischemic heart disease). The analyzes were performed by SPSS software. Results: Hyperuricemia was found in 26.5% of patients with a female predominance (76%), an average age of 55.9 years, and an average age of 12.4ans diabetes. The glycemic control was found in 84.6% of cases with mean glycated hemoglobin 8.6%. Factors associated al hyperuricemia were the blood pressure in 86% (p <0.05), dyslipidemia in 76.3% of cases (p <0.001) with hypertriglyceridemia in 48.3% of cases (p <0.02), and a hypoHDLémie 28% (p <0.001). The age, obesity, smoking, and glycemic control were associated significantly n al hyperuricemia. The research of degenerative complications of hyperuricemia has objectified renal impairment (GFR between 15 and 60ml / min) chez47% (p <0.001), it was kind of moderate in 35.8% (p <0.01) and severe in 5.1% (p <0.02), ischemic heart disease was found in 34% of cases (p <0.01). Conclusion: In our study, hyperuricemia in type 2 diabetes is common in female patients, especially with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and renal failure. Other factors such as age, obesity, smoking is not associated with hyperuricemia in type 2 diabetics.
