Lipid Management

Dyslipidemia and diabetes both are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Emerging evidence suggests that these two are closely related to each other, the so-called “dyslipidemia-insulin resistance-hyperinsulinemia” cycle. Recently, several new lipid subfractions, such as apolipoprotein (Apo)B, and ApoJ, have been reported to associate with insulin resistance and incident diabetes, which further claim the role of lipid in the pathophysiology of diabetes. Besides, dyslipidemia is also one of the most prevalent diabetic complications. Clinical guidelines have widely recommended lipid management among diabetic patients through lifestyle intervention and lipid-lowering medications, especially statins, to prevent cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract Background: This study was conducted to determine the effect of Rheum ribes supplementation on glycemic indices and apolipoproteins in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2).Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, sixty type 2 diabetic patients, aged 30-60 years with body mass index (BMI) of 20-30 kg/m 2 , and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6-8% were included. The patients were randomly assigned to receive 450 mg of Rheum ribes aqueous extract (AG), 450 mg of Rheum ribes ethanolic extract (EG) or placebo (PG), three times daily for 6 weeks. Then glucose, the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR and HOMA-B) and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA1) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were measured.Results: According to these findings, in the AG and EG intervention groups, we observed a significant reduction in serum levels of insulin (P=0.003 and P=0.001, respectively), HOMA-IR (P=0.01 and P=0.001, respectively) and HOMA-B (P=0.002 and P=0.001, respectively) indices, without no significant changes in glucose. There was also a significant reduction in serum levels of ApoB (P=0.006 and P=0.03, respectively) and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio (P=0.016 and P=0.04, respectively) in both AG and EG. Intervention in both AG and EG had increasing effects on ApoA1 (P=0.08 and P=0.05, respectively). None of these variables had a significant change in PG. At the end of study, there were significant differences in insulin (P=0.04), HOMA-IR (P=0.03), HOMA-B (P=0.01), ApoB (P=0.02), and ApoB/ApoA1 (P=0.03) ratio among groups.Conclusions: Rheum ribes intake may have favorable effects on insulin resistance and apolipoproteins in diabetic patients.Trial registration: The study was recorded in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials under the registration number of IRCT201410142709N31 (Registration date: 2014-12-11, https://en.irct.ir/trial/2543 ).

AbstractOver the last few decades, Mizoram has shown an increase in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, no in-depth scientific records are available to understand the occurrence of the disease. In this study, 500 patients and 500 healthy controls were recruited to understand the possible influence of their dietary and lifestyle habits in relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A multivariate analysis using Cox regression was carried out to find the influence of dietary and lifestyle factors, and an unpaired t test was performed to find the difference in the levels of biochemical tests. Out of 500 diabetic patients, 261 (52.3%) were males and 239 (47.7%) were females, and among the control group, 238 (47.7%) were males and 262 (52.3%) were females. Fermented pork fat, Sa-um (odds ratio (OR) 18.98), was observed to be a potential risk factor along with tuibur (OR 0.1243) for both males and females. Creatinine level was found to be differentially regulated between the male and female diabetic patients. This is the first report of fermented pork fat and tobacco (in a water form) to be the risk factors for diabetes. The unique traditional foods like Sa-um and local lifestyle habits like tuibur of the Mizo population may trigger the risk for the prevalence of the disease, and this may serve as a model to study other populations with similar traditional practices.

Increased Risk

There is mounting evidence that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related with increased risk for the development of cancer. Apart from shared common risk factors typical for both diseases, diabetes driven factors including hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and low grade chronic inflammation are of great importance. Recently, vitamin D deficiency was reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including T2DM and cancer. However, little is known whether vitamin D deficiency may be responsible for elevated cancer risk development in T2DM patients. Therefore, the aim of the current review is to identify the molecular mechanisms by which vitamin D deficiency may contribute to cancer development in T2DM patients. Vitamin D via alleviation of insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, oxidative stress and inflammation reduces diabetes driven cancer risk factors. Moreover, vitamin D strengthens the DNA repair process, and regulates apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells as well as signaling pathways involved in tumorigenesis i.e., tumor growth factor β (TGFβ), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and Wnt-β-Cathenin. It should also be underlined that many types of cancer cells present alterations in vitamin D metabolism and action as a result of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and CYP27B1 expression dysregulation. Although, numerous studies revealed that adequate vitamin D concentration prevents or delays T2DM and cancer development, little is known how the vitamin affects cancer risk among T2DM patients. There is a pressing need for randomized clinical trials to clarify whether vitamin D deficiency may be a factor responsible for increased risk of cancer in T2DM patients, and whether the use of the vitamin by patients with diabetes and cancer may improve cancer prognosis and metabolic control of diabetes.

Epidemiologic Risk

Background: We sought to determine the frequency of toenail onychomycosis in diabetic patients, to identify the causative agents, and to evaluate the epidemiologic risk factors. Methods: Data regarding patients’ diabetic characteristics were recorded by the attending internal medicine clinician. Clinical examinations of patients’ toenails were performed by a dermatologist, and specimens were collected from the nails to establish the onycomycotic abnormality. All of the specimens were analyzed by direct microscopy and culture. Results: Of 321 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, clinical onychomycosis was diagnosed in 162; 41 of those diagnoses were confirmed mycologically. Of the isolated fungi, 23 were yeasts and 18 were dermatophytes. Significant correlations were found between the frequency of onychomycosis and retinopathy, neuropathy, obesity, family history, and duration of diabetes. However, no correlation was found with sex, age, educational level, occupation, area of residence, levels of hemoglobin A1c and fasting blood glucose, and nephropathy. The most frequently isolated agents from clinical specimens were yeasts. Conclusions: Long-term control of glycemia to prevent chronic complications and obesity and to promote education about the importance of foot and nail care should be essential components in preventing onychomycosis and its potential complications, such as secondary foot lesions, in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Increased Risk

Diabetes is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction are more common in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients, and diabetic patients benefit less from revascularisation procedures. This increased risk can only partly be explained by the adverse effects of diabetes on established risk factors; hence, a substantial part of the excess risk must be attributable to direct effects of hyperglycaemia and diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia have a number of potential adverse effects, including effects on endothelial function and coagulation. Risk factor modification has been shown to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes; indeed, diabetic patients appear to benefit more in absolute terms than non-diabetic patients. There is thus a strong case for intensive treatment of risk factors, including insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The objective of the present study was to identify risk factors of developing vascular disorders in patients at different stages of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) by comprehensive analysis of metabolic parameters, hemograms, thrombocytic and plasma hemostasis. The study involved 75 patients (22 men and 53 women of mean age 57,3±9,7 years) having angiopathies of different severity. The data obtained confirmed the presence of risk factors of vascular pathology in different phases of DM2. All the examined patients including those without angiopathies in the early period of diabetes showed triglyceridemia, cholesterolemia, enhanced platelet aggregation activity, and shortened activated partial thromboplastin time. Patients with diabetic nephropathy at the stage of microalbuminuria and with non-proliferative retinopathy were distinct from the remaining ones in that they had significantly higher blood alpha-2 globulin and fibrinogen levels. Diabetic patients with micro- and macrovascular problems were characterized by marked dysproteinemia and abnormal platelet disaggregation.
