The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the Caribbean is high. BMI has been criticized as a measure for predicting T2 DM development because it does not discern between fat mass and muscle mass, nor does it reect an individual's fat distribution. The primary objective of the study was to determine the association between Indices using height, waist, hip, thigh, arm, and wrist circumference (cm) with development of T2 DM by comparing it to existing markers in test subjects and assessing their feasibility as predictive indicators for the development of Type 2 DM. In a cross-sectional study, a total of 331 subjects were involved in the study utilizing health centers and health camps in St Kitts (West Indies). Height was measured using Stadiometer, Weight using a calibrated digital weighing scale. Waist, hip, thigh, arm, and wrist circumference (cm) was measured using calibrated tape. ABI (Arav Body Index) is measured using a ratio of Waist and Combined Thigh & Height, Thigh to waist ratio (TWR) and Wrist to arm ratio (WAR) was compared to WHtR, WHR and BMI. ABI had the highest AUROC value among the ve adiposity indices (0.803, 95% condence interval [CI], 0.755 to 0.851; 0.785, 95% CI, 0.735 to 0.835 for WHtR; WHtR (0.785), WTR (0.672), WAR (0.652) and BMI (0.626). The cutoff values for ABI were 0.43. Among subjects with ABI less than 0.42, 83.8% (129) did not have type 2 DM and ABI more than 0.48, 90.2 % (51) had T2 DM. Hence, higher ABI strongly correlates with development of T2 DM. We conclude that ABI could be a more reliable tool for identifying individuals at risk of developing type 2 DM. This will help at-risk individuals to take preventive measures like lifestyle modication.

Abstract Aim Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major long-term complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Given the paucity of data on DKD in Jordan, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics and correlates of DKD in Jordanian patients with type 2 DM. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1398 adult patients with type 2 DM who sought medical advice in the endocrinology clinic between March and September 2019. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were reviewed. DKD was defined as reduced eGFR, and/or albuminuria. Three regression models were constructed to identify factors associated with CKD stages, albuminuria and DKD. Results Overall, 701 (50.14%) patients had DKD, with a median age of 59.71 ± 11.36  years. Older age, high triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein were associated with DKD (multivariable odds ratio [OR]: 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.03, p < 0.01; OR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1.01–1.2; and OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97–0.99, p < 0.01 respectively). Metformin and renin-angiotensin system blockers were negatively associated with albuminuria and chronic kidney disease stages (p < 0.01). Conclusion Our study demonstrated that approximately one half of patients with type 2 DM had DKD. Further studies are necessary to understand this high prevalence and the underlying factors. Future research are needed to assess implementing targeted community-based intervention.

Considerable Impact

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and thyroid disease are the two most common endocrine disorders in the general population. Several Studies have shown that thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with DM, and thyroid dysfunction have been found to have a considerable impact on the glycaemic control and often increases the risk of development of long-term complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study determined the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with type 2 DM in Kano, North-Western Nigeria. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 250 participants made up of 130 patients with type 2 DM and 120 apparently healthy non-diabetic controls. Questionnaires were used to collect information on bio data, medical history, duration of diagnosis of diabetes and type of treatment. Also, blood samples of the participants were collected and analyzed for fasting plasma glucose, fT3, fT4, and TSH. The results were interpreted using American Thyroid Associations’ criteria and the data was analyzed using the statistical software package, STATA version 20. Two hundred and thirty-four (93.6%) of the participants were euthyroid while sixteen (6.4%) were found to have various forms of thyroid dysfunction. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 10% and 2.5% among type 2 diabetics and controls respectively. Among the type 2 DM patients with thyroid dysfunction, 38.5% had hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction was found to be commoner among type 2 DM patients than non-diabetic individuals with hypothyroidism being the commonest disorder.

The level of adherence usually decreases in patients with chronic conditions compared to acute conditions; this is related to the long-term nature of chronic disease due to the most rapid decrease in adherence after the first 6 months of therapy. The decline in compliance not only resulted in poor health outcomes but also had a significant impact on health costs. The purpose of this study was to determine family support for medication adherence in type 2 DM patients. This study used descriptive correlational using a cross-sectional study approach of 100 respondents. Patient demographic data and family support were obtained using a questionnaire while the level of compliance used Morisky Medication Adherence Scales. The results show that there is a relationship between family support and medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes, which is viewed from 4 dimensions: appreciation support, emotional support, information support, and instrumental support. Support from family can improve medication adherence in type 2 DM patients.

Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to establish the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors in elderly with type 2 diabetes (DM) in southern Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 240 patients with type 2 DM. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was performed according to EWGSOP criteria. Muscle mass was calculated by skeletal muscle mass index (appendicular skeletal muscle mass/height² - Inbody® bioimpendance). Muscle strength was assessed by manual grip strength (Jamar® dynamometer) and physical performance was assessed by the sit and lift test. Patients with type 2 DM with age ≥60 years and with the ability to ambulate were selected. Patients with recent cardiovascular events, serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl, use of corticosteroids and BMI >40 kg/m² were excluded. The sample size was 240 patients based on meta-analysis who found 17% sarcopenia in elderly patients without DM. Results We included 240 patients aged 68.4 ± 5.5 years, 53.2% were women and the duration of DM was 15 (8–22) years, the BMI was 29.4 ± 4.4 kg/m². The prevalence of sarcopenia was 21% and men had more sarcopenia (75%). Patients with sarcopenia walk less [3541 (2227–4574) vs. 4521 (3037–5678) steps, P = 0.013], drink more alcohol [21 (56.8%) vs. 71 (31.8%); P < 0.034] and have lower total cholesterol levels [146 ± 41 Vs. 168 ± 43; P = 0.007] than the group without sarcopenia. In multivariate logistic regression models, walking < 3760 steps [OR = 2868; CI 95% 1.331–6.181] and male [OR = 5285; CI 95% 2261–12,350], were associated with sarcopenia. Conclusions The prevalence of sarcopenia was 21%, higher than in patients without diabetes (17%). In this group of patients, lower physical activity, and male sex were associated with sarcopenia.

Diabetes mellitus [DM] is a major disease worldwide with increasing prevalence. Its etiologic heterogeneity comprising genetic predisposition and environmental factors may provide a characteristic feature among the population helpful for the early diagnosis. This study aims to evaluate the palmar dermatoglyphic patterns in DM patients. This case controlled cross-sectional study included 100 type 2 DM patients in group A and 100 healthy subjects in group B. Each group has equal gender distribution. The palmar dermatoglyphics were evaluated quantitatively using standard methods. Student’s t-test and Chi-square test was used to determine the level of significance. The palmar triradius number varied significantly (Pd”0.0001). The angle of palm variations were statistically insignificant between groups, but TAD angle showed significant gender variations in group A patients (Pd”0.0001). The variation in palmar triradius revealed in this study may help in early diagnosis of type 2 DM patients and also may provide a scope for further studies with larger sample size.

Prevalence Of Diabetes Mellitus

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the world has increased which is certainly accompanied by a rapid increase in the incidence of its chronic complications like kidney disorders. Insulin resistance, the patophysiology of diabetes mellitus, also associated with obesity, which both are the main risk factors for cardiovascular events. Obesity also known as a risk factor for kidney disease that proved by the presence of proteinuria in obesity patients. Objective: To determine the correlation of obesity with occurrence of proteinuria in patients with type 2 DM in internal medicine polyclinic Ibnu Sina Hospital Makassar. Method: A cross sectional study on 32 type 2 DM patients at Ibnu Sina Hospital as measured by body weight, height and waist circumference. Urinalysis examination is also performed at that time. Results: In this study, there were 4 patients (12,5%) patients with proteinuria (+), 1 patient (3.1%) with proteinuria (++), 2 patients (6.3%) with proteinuria (+++) and 1 patient (3.1%) with proteinuria (++++). According to BMI, we found that 17 patients (53.1%) were overweight,  5 patients (15.6%) were class 1 obesity, no class 2 obesity patient, and 1 patients (3.1%) were class 3 obesity. In Waist circumference examination we found that  in normal waist circumference group there is 1 patient that did not has proteinuria while in the  abnormal waist circumference group, 8 patients out of 31 patients have proteinuria. After doing statistical analysis to assess the correlation of obesity with proteinuria obtained p value> 0.05. Similarly, the correlation analysis waist circumference with proteinuria obtained p value> 0.05. Conclusion: There is no correlation between obesity and proteinuria as well as waist circumference and proteinuria correlation in type 2 DM patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between usual physical activity and 24 h blood pressure (BP) profile in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a cross-sectional study of 151 participants with type 2 DM. Usual physical activity was assessed by step counting and self-reported questionnaire. BP was measured in office and by 24 h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM; 24 h, daytime and nighttime). Mean participant age was 61.1 ± 8.4 years, 64% was women, and mean duration of diabetes was 14.3 ± 8.5 years. Ninety-two percent of participants had hypertension, and office BP was 138 ± 18/78 ± 10 mmHg. Inverse correlations were observed between step count and 24 h BP (systolic, r=−0.186; p=0.022), daytime BP (systolic, r=−0.198; p=0.015), and nighttime BP (pulse pressure, r=−0.190; p=0.019). People were categorized into tertiles of daily step count, and the 1st tertile had higher 24 h systolic BP, daytime systolic BP, daytime mean BP, and daytime systolic BP load than those in the other tertiles, even after adjusting for age and HbA1c. Participants with type 2 DM and low levels of physical activity exhibit higher 24 h and daytime systolic ambulatory BP values as compared with those who performed more steps per day, even after adjustments for confounding factors.
