Carbohydrate Loading

The case is a 69-year-old male patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) for 21 years. His diabetic control was not so satisfactory, and his HbA1c value increased in spring 2021. Then, he started Xultophy (IDegLira), which includes a fixed ratio of two agents of basal degludec and liraglutide. Just after providing Xultophy, the daily profile of blood glucose decreased from 179-400 mg/dL to 112-171 mg/dL, with remarkable clinical efficacy. He usually takes 80g of carbohydrates in breakfast, and the meal tolerance test (MTT) was challenged. As carbohydrate loading was given 100-75-50-0%, postprandial hyperglycemia at 60-min showed 277-219-159-133 mg/dL, respectively.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the hemoglobin levels among normal controls (patients) and patients of TypeII diabetes with HbA1c levels below 7 % & above 7 %.and secondly to identify the undetected cases of anemia in TypeII diabetes. Materials & Methods - 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with their glycosylated hemoglobin levels less than 7 %, 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with their glycosylated hemoglobin levels more than 7 % attending the Medicine outpatient department of Subharti Medical College and Hospital will be the subjects for the study.50 age and sex matched controls will be selected randomly from Subharti Medical College and Hospital. Informed written consent will be taken from all the subjects. The study will be conducted from January 2016 to January. Result - We studied 50 cases with HbA1C>7(poor control),50 cases with HbA1C 5.6 to7 (good control) and 50 controls with HbA1C ≤5.6, we observed in cases with HbA1C>7 (poorly control) ,the mean HbA1C is 9.9±2 and mean Hb is 9.8±1.3 as compared to cases with HbA1C 5.6 to 7(good control) where mean HbA1C is 6±0.4 and Hb is 13±0.5,this clearly indicates that in cases HbA1C is more Hb levels are low and when HbA1C is less Hb levels are higher. Conclusion - In the present study we found negative correlation between HbA1c & Hb levels. As the value of HbA1c increases, as in cases of HbA1c >7(poor diabetic control), we found low Hb levels as compared to the cases with HbA1c <7(5.6-7) (good control).

Key Aspects

Spices such as cinnamon (Cinnamomum Spp.) have been of interest due to their phytochemical composition that exert hypoglycemic effects with potential for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We summarize data from 27 manuscripts that include, one book chapter, 3 review articles, 10 randomized controlled trials, 4 systematic reviews with meta-analysis, and 9 preclinical studies. The most frequently used cinnamon variety was Cinnamomum cassia rather than the Cinnamomum zeylanicum, whereas outcomes were defined as fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and oral glucose tolerance test. A great variability in methodology such as different doses (from 120 mg to 6 g), duration of intervention, data retrieved and use of different concomitant medication, were found to be key aspects of most of trials and systematic reviews with meta-analysis available to date. Low quality studies have been made in most cases with a lot of heterogeneity clouding significance of results. More research needs to be done in order to yield accurate evidence for evidence-based recommendations. Its use is not currently a reliable nor advisable option for the treatment of T2DM.
