Significant Difference

Progressivity of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with a condition of chronic inflammation. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) has become a potential new marker of inflammation to detect chronic inflammation. This research aimed to determine NLR differences between controlled type 2 DM and uncontrolled type 2 DM groups. This research conducted an observational with a cross-sectional approach to 56 patients with type 2 diabetes. The identity, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory data of routine blood exam and HbA1c were carried out on each research subject, and then the NLR calculations were performed. The subjects were 20 (35.70%) controlled type 2 DM patients, 36 (64.30%) uncontrolled type 2 DM patients, consisting of 36 (64.30%) male and 20 (35.70%) females. The NLR value was statistically significantly higher in uncontrolled type 2 DM patients than controlled type 2 DM patients, which was 1.90±0.84 compared to 1.52±0.50 (p=0.035). There was a significant difference in the NLR value between the uncontrolled type 2 DM group and the controlled type 2 DM group.

Background: Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an indicator of subclinical inflammation. Subclinical inflammation may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Raised NLR is associated with metabolic syndrome and is found to be a predictor of cardiovascular disorders. There are only few studies assessing the correlation between NLR and glycemic control. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between NLR and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods: This observational study was conducted in Department of Medicine, Bangalore medical college. 100 patients diagnosed to have type 2 diabetes mellitus were assessed. They were divided into three groups based upon HbA1c levels: Group 1, HbA1c ≤7%; group 2, HbA1c 7-9%, and group 3, HbA1c>9%. Complete blood count and other relevant investigations were performed. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. T test was used for continuous variables and chi square test for categorical variables. ANOVA test was used to compare three groups. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Out of 100 patients, the white blood cell count (WBC count) was higher in group 3 as compared to group 1 and group 2(p 0.008). Similarly, the absolute neutrophil count was higher in group 3 as compared to group 1 and group 2(p.017). The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was significantly higher in group 3 as compared with group 1 and group 2(p.009). NLR had a positive correlation with HbA1c and was found to be an independent predictor of poor glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitusConclusions: Our study found a significant positive correlation between NLR and glycemic control. Increased NLR is associated with elevated HbA1c and poor glycemic control. Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with raised NLR should be evaluated for cardiovascular, renal and ocular complications of diabetes.

Background: Neutrophil lymphocyte is an indicator of subclinical inflammation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. One of the novel inflammatory markers is hemogram derived neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. There are very few studies which are directly accessing the relation between NLR and HbA1c, so in the present study our aim to correlate neutrophil lymphocyte ratio with glycemic control in patients having type 2 diabetes.Methods: Hospital based observational cross section study was carried out at department of medicine, Pt JNMMC and Dr BRAM Hospital, Raipur, between September 2018 to August 2019. 105 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus according to ADA criteria who were aged more than 18 years were included in the study. Relevant investigation and complete blood count were performed. Microsoft excel and SPSS version 25 were used for collection and analysis of the data, p<0.05 was considered as significant.Results: Out of 105 patients who were given the consent for the study, the ration of male is to female was 1:0.98, mean age of all the patients was 51.77±10.56 years, mean neutrophil lymphocyte ratio among the patients was 6.30±2.646, HbA1c count more than ≥9 was 54 (51.27%). NLR had a positive correlation with HbA1c and was found to be an independent predictor of poor glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Conclusions: Increased NLR is associated with elevated HbA1c and poor glycemic control. Type NLR should be used as a marker of diabetic control level in addition to HbA1c in type 2 diabetic subjects.
