Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of raised serum alanine transaminase level in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design: cross-sectional study Study Settings: This study was conducted at Department of Internal Medicine Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences Muzaffarabad from November 2020 to April 2021. Material and Methods: Total 144 patients were included in the study having age from 18 to 60 of both genders with Type 2 DM. It was labeled as elevated if it was ≥50 IU/L. A written informed consent was taken from each patient. Results: Patient’s age ranged from 36 to 70 years having mean value of 44.4±8.3 y. BMI ranged from 21.2 Kg/m2 to 34.7 Kg/m2 with a mean of 27.2±3.7 Kg/m2. Disease duration was from 2 to 14 years with a mean of 7.1±3.8 years. Elevated serum ALT was noted in 38 (26.4%) patients with type-II diabetes. Conclusion: Elevated serum ALT was noted in a substantial proportion of patients with type-II diabetes and was significantly more frequent in patients with poor glycemic control which warrants good glycemic control to prevent and routine screening of such patients in future practice to timely identify and manage this complication to improve the outcome.

Introduction: Patients with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of developing primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) as compared to non-diabetic patients. Objectives: To determine whether there is a correlation between hyperglycemic levels and intraocular pressure (IOP) and to identify patients of Type II diabetes mellitus who are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based, cross sectional study performed on patients with type II diabetes mellitus, at a tertiary health care center in Uttarakhand, India between July, 2018 and September, 2018. 318 eyes of 159 patients with Type2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study. IOP was measured by Goldmannappla nation to no meter and central corneal thickness was measured with specula microscope in all patients, in addition to glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) and fasting and post-prandial blood glucose levels. The data was analysed using SPSS 22 software. Results: Mean IOP was found to be 15.75 ± 3.18 mm Hg in patients with HbA1c levels between 6.5%-12% (Group I) and 17.42 ± 2.67 mm Hg in patients with HbA1c levels more than 12 % (Group II). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P =0.013). Out of 159 patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, a total of 11 patients had IOP more than 21mm Hg in one or both the eyes. Conclusion: Hyperglycaemic levels as determined by raised HbA1c levels are associated with higher intraocular pressures in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background An aging HIV-infected population has growing recognition for its increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Most studies of T2DM prevalence among patients living with HIV involve selected samples and/or small cohorts which limit generalizability. We sought to evaluate the overall prevalence of T2DM among patients living with HIV in the United States as well as within specific demographic subgroups. Methods A cross-sectional analysis was performed using a large, multi-institutional database (Explorys), where clinical information across 27 healthcare networks are matched and standardized to create longitudinal records for each unique patient. At present, the database contains 63 million unique lives, representing 18% of the population across all 4 census regions of the United States. Patients with all types of insurance as well as those who are self-pay are represented. The analysis included adult patients with an active status in the database during April 2014- April 2019 who, not missing data on age, gender, race, and body mass index. The Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine—Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) of “Human Immunodeficiency Virus,” “diabetes mellitus type 2,” “disorder due to type 2 diabetes mellitus,” and “Type II diabetes mellitus uncontrolled” were used to identify patients with HIV and T2DM. Results We identified 90,900 patients with HIV. The overall prevalence of T2DM among patients with HIV was 22.1% (20,080/90,900) compared with 14.9% (2,679,490/17,946,580) in the general population. In subgroup analysis, the prevalence of T2DM was highest among patients with HIV who were female, older, other race, obese, hypertensive, hyperlipidemic, smokers, alcoholics, and those with a history of hepatitis C infection. Patients with no exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART) had higher prevalence of T2DM than those with exposure (24.9% vs. 17.6%). Conclusion In this US population-based study, we found 1 in 5 people living with HIV had prevalent T2DM. In addition, we observed that HIV-associated T2DM may not depend on chronic ART exposure. Physicians caring for patients with HIV should be aware of the association and should monitor for signs and symptoms of T2DM. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Background: Diabetes is the commonest metabolic disorder affecting the people all over the world. Objective of the study was to identify the diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient to recognize the early involvement of heart.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital cases of type II diabetes mellitus coming to our hospital and giving informed consent. Period of study was from September 2016 to February 2018. Consecutive type of non-probability sampling was used for the selection of study subjects. A total of 54 diagnosed patients of type II diabetes mellitus coming to our hospital and giving informed consent were included in the study.Results: Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was observed to be 44.4% in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiac manifestations. Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was seen in 47.4% males in comparison to 42.9% females. Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was 11.1%, 77.3% and 80% in cases with disease duration of 0-5 years, 6-10 years and more than 10 years respectively. Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was more in cases with poor glycaemic control i.e. hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value >8% as compared to cases with good glycemic control.Conclusions: There was an association between the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction with the increasing age. We had higher percentage of patients with diastolic dysfunction as duration of diabetes increased. Diastolic dysfunction was seen in 55.2% patients receiving oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHAs) as compared to 23.5% patients who were on insulin and 50% patients who were on both insulin and OHAs.

Background: Diabetes increases the morbidity and mortality due to its propensity to develop micro and macrovascular complications. Recently the role of haemostatic factors, particularly fibrinogen, in atherosclerosis and its complications has invited considerable attention. The present study was conducted to study plasma fibrinogen levels in type II diabetes mellitus patients with microvascular complications.Methods: One hundred patients aged 18years to 60years with type 2 diabetes mellitus with microvascular complications were included in the study. HBA1c, plasma fibrinogen, urine routine examination, fundoscopy, monofilament testing, FBS, PPBS were done. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse data.Results: Out of 100 diabetes patients with microvascular complication studies, 88 patients were found to have hyperfibrinogenaemia. Out of 100 patients 67 patients had HbA1c of more than 8%, and all of them had elevated fibrinogen levels (p <0.0001). The prevalence of hyperfibrinogenemia was higher in patients with diabetic retinopathy (90%), when compared to those without diabetic retinopathy (83.33%) although it was statistically not significant (p=0.266).Conclusions: Hyperfibrinogenemia among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with microvascular complications was high. Glycaemic control has a significant impact on the fibrinogen levels. Longer the duration of diabetes, there was a higher prevalence of hyperfibrinogenemia.

Today, type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered to be the most important nosological cause of decreased cognitive functions. A number of studies have found that hyperglycemia and duration of diabetes are associated with cognitive deficits, with the prevalence of cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes mellitus being 20% in men and 18% in women over 60 years of age. To achieve this goal, it was conducted a comprehensive clinical-psychopathological and psychodiagnostic examination of 82 patients with moderate type 2 diabetes mellitus (46 women and 36 men) aged 35.9±10.1 years in accordance with the principles of bioethics and deontology. The mean duration of diabetes was 7.9±5.2 years. The severity of diabetes in most cases was defined as moderate (84.1%), and in 15.9% of cases corresponded to severe. 30.2% of patients used insulin as a basic hypoglycemic therapy, 69.8% - tablets. According to the analysis of the emotional state of patients with T2DM were characterized by complaints of low, depressed mood (69.5% of examined patients), uncontrolled emotional reactions (46.2%), feelings of anxiety, constant internal tension (44.7%), paresthesias (29.1%), sleep-wake cycle disorders (56.2%), general weakness, lethargy and fatigue (58.2%), fatigue (90.0%), frequent mood swings, with a predominance of decreased mood background (23.3%), emotional lability with excessive vulnerability and sensitivity (16.6%), irritability (16.6%). The clinical and psychopathological structure of emotional disorders is represented by anxious (43.4%), depressive (26.6%), astheno-hypochondriac (19.8%), hysteroform (10.2%) syndromes. Clinical examination of patients with DM showed that more often (in 95.0% of cases) in patients with T2DM there is a decrease in memory of auditory and visual modality, impaired intellectual abilities, slow thinking, lack of attention and information processing.
