Obesity is a multifactorial disease, which occurs as a result of excessive fat tissue accumulation and if not treated properly in the long term will lead to risks and complications of dangerous diseases including diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, reproductive system disorders, gallstones, and bone diseases and joints. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of acupuncture on glucose metabolism in overweight and obese patients. This study uses a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. This research was conducted at the Posyandu Elderly in Mojosongo, Jebres, Surakarta City. This study focuses on acupuncture therapy on blood glucose levels, body mass index (BMI) and serum Hb.A1c levels before and after acupuncture therapy. Data analysis with Paired T-Test using SPSS Series 23 data processing application. The results showed that there was a significant but not significant effect of acupuncture on overweight and obese patients, there was a significant effect of acupuncture on Body Mass Index (BMI) in overweight and obese patients, and there is a significant effect of acupuncture on Hb.A1c levels in overweight and obese patients. The conclusion of this study shows that acupuncture therapy can affect glucose metabolism and reduce body mass index so as to prevent the onset of dangerous chronic diseases in the future.   Keywords: Overweight-obesity, Acupuncture, Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood glucose levels, Hb.A1c.

We’ve studied a carbohydrate metabolism in morbidly obese (MO) patients and the patients after bariatric surgery. The patients of the 1st group had BMI40 (n=22) and no history of diabetes mellitus. Patients after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) performed for MO were included in the 2nd group (n=23). The 3rd group was a control group of normal weight healthy subjects (n=22). Blood glucose levels, insulin, GLP-1, GIP and glucagon during the OGTT (with 75 g of glucose) at 0, 30, 60 and 120 minutes were measured in all patients. In MO group fasting glucose levels were the highest. Impaired glucose metabolism was revealed in 68.2% of patients (n=10). Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was diagnosed in 4 cases (18.2%), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in 11 patients (50%). In the BPD postprandial blood glucose levels (120 min) were lower if compared to the other groups. In 4 individuals (17.4%) we found postprandial hypoglycemia (2.8 mmol/l). Patients of the MO group had the highest fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR (p0.001). The maximum of insulin concentration was seen on minute 30 of the OGTT in the 2nd and 3rd groups, and it was significantly higher in the post-bariatric patients (p=0.026). In MO group the maximum of the plasma insulin levels were on the 60th minute and were still elevated after 120 minutes. Fasting and stimulated (on the 30th minute) levels of GLP-1 were significantly higher after BPD (р=0.037 and p=0.022 at 0 and 30 min, respectively). Morbidly obese patients had higher fasting and stimulated GIP. Fasting glucagon concentrations were similar in the surgical and control groups, while the people with MO had higher initial levels of glucagon (p=0.013) and it was not suppressed during the OGTT (p=0.076). Glucose intolerance and insulin resistance incidence was higher in MO patients. Hyperglucagonemia, increased GIP and decreased GLP-1 levels are observed in MO patients. Stimulated plasma insulin and GLP-1 concentrations were significantly increased in patients who underwent BPD, and may cause postprandial hypoglycemia.

Background: In resource-limited countries like Bangladesh, there is a scarcity of epidemiological researches examining the relationship of blood glucose level with hypertension and BMI among the graduate level students. This research was therefore undertaken to evaluate fasting blood glucose levels of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University students and to check its associations with sex, body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. Methods: For the study the 240 students (120 male and 120 female) were randomly selected. The demographic data of the study subjects were collected by interviewing the subjects with standardized questionnaires. Their fasting blood glucose levels were measured using portable blood glucose meter. The BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were also recorded following standard protocol. Finally the data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results: The fasting blood glucose levels of the study subjects indicated that 0.4% of subjects were diabetic and, 5.4% of subjects were pre-diabetic. The blood glucose levels (mean±SE) of female subjects (4.88±0.07) were higher than that of the male (4.61±0.04) subjects. The mean blood glucose levels of hypertensive subjects (4.81±0.07 mmol/L) were higher than that of the normotensive counterpart (4.73±0.05 mmol/L). The fasting blood glucose levels shows significant positive associations with SBP (r=0.155, p<0.05) and DBP (r=0.149, p<0.05).The fasting blood glucose levels also showed a significant positive association with the BMI (r=0.193, p<0.01) of the subjects. Conclusions: This study reveals the diabetic and hypertension status of the Bangladeshi graduate level students. The result of the study is very important in the context of public concern health of Bangladesh.

Premenopause is a transitional period that occurs due to decreased generative or endocrine function of the ovaries. In premenopausal women, there is a decrease in estrogen hormone levels and an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) so that it will increase the risk of diabetes mellitus which is one of the four priority non-communicable diseases. The incidence of diabetes mellitus in women is much higher when compared to men. The research was conducted in the city of Padang, with an observational, cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was multistage random sampling with a sample of 99 premenopausal women. The estradiol level was assessed by ELISA method, BMI was assessed by weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared, fasting blood glucose level was assessed by the enzymatic photometric method. The correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose levels was analyzed by using the Pearson Correlation test. The correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose levels was analyzed by using the Pearson Correlation test. The mean of estradiol level was (148,689±49,417) pg/ml. Average Body Mass Index (BMI) was included in the Obese category I (26.5 kg/m2). The mean fasting blood glucose level was (98,766±6,549) mg/dL. There is a correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose levels (p value = 0.007 and r value = 0.270). In addition, there is a correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose levels (p value = 0.023). The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant correlation between estradiol levels and fasting blood glucose. There is a significant correlation between BMI and fasting blood glucose Keywords: Estradiol Levels, Body Mass Index, Fasting Blood Glucose Levels, Premenopause.

Overweight and obesity have been correlated to the higher risk for developing metabolic diseases in later life, i.e. DM type 2. We study the body mass index (BMI), the waist to hip ratio (WHR) and the fasting blood glucose levels (FBG) in the seemingly healthy male and female university students to comprehend these variables amongst the youth in Indonesia in 2019. The BMI and WHR of 150 male and female students aged 18-22 years old of the IIKBW, Kediri were measured by standardised anthropometry. The FBG was measured after 8 hours-minimum of fasting from the capillary blood drop using glucometer. Data was then analysed using SPSS 17 with level of significance of p<0.05. According to Asia-Pacific BMI classification, students were 30.7% obese with males significantly higher than females (p=0.016), 18% overweight (significantly higher in females, p=0.04), 36% normal and 15.3% underweight.When compared between genders, the WHR is significantly higher in males (p<0.001); whilst no significant differences in FBG (p=0.6). Four males and 5 females with FBG ≥ 100 mg/dl, whereas others were within normal limits. There are positive significant correlations between BMI and WHR in males and females (r=0.777, p<0.001; r=0.54, p<0.001, respectively). There is a significant positive correlation between the BMI and FBG with r=0.217, p=0.008; and between the WHR and FBG with r=0.21, p=0.01 amongst all students. In this study, male students have significantly higher BMI and WHR than females. Higher FBG was well observed in students with either higher BMI or WHR.
