Background/Aims. Patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) were known to have higher prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the Western countries, but data on the impact of GERD on DM patients in our country are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of GERD in type II DM patients in Shanghai, China, and to explore its possible risk factors.Methods. 775 type II DM cases were randomly collected. Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) was used to check the presence of GERD. Patients’ characteristics, laboratory data, face-to-face interview, nerve conduction study, and needle electromyogram (EMG) test were analyzed.Results. 16% patients were found with typical GERD symptoms. Pathophysiological factors such as peripheral neuropathy, metabolism syndrome, and obesity were found to have no significant differences between GERD and non-GERD type II DM patients in the present study.Conclusion. The prevalence of GERD in type II DM patients is higher than that in adult inhabitants in Shanghai, China. No difference in pathophysiological factors, such as peripheral neuropathy, and metabolism syndrome was found in DM-GERD patients, suggesting that further study and efforts are needed to explore deeper the potential risk factors for the high prevalence rate of GERD in DM patients.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of peripheral neuropathy in newly diagnosed cases of type II diabetes mellitus. Study Design: Cross Sectional Study. Setting: Department of Medicine at Avicenna Medical & Dental College, Lahore. Period: 1st February 2020 to 31st July 2020. Material & Methods: One hundred and twenty newly diagnosed patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study. Patients detailed demographically recorded after getting written consent. Patients were diagnosed for the duration of 4-weeks and calculated fasting blood sugar (FBS) of ≥126mg/dl, and Random Blood Sugar (RBS) of ≥200 mg/dl or HbA1c ≤6.5. Results: Seventy (58.3%) were males and rest 50 (41.7%) were females with mean age 37.15±10.91 years. Mean body mass index of the patients was 22.48±3.66 kg/m2. Forty two (35%) patients had symptoms of peripheral neuropathy while that patient’s who did not have any symptom was 78 (65%). Same symptoms were observed within 4-weeks and we noticed that 23 (19.2%) patients showed peripheral neuropathy and rest 97 (80.8%) patients did not have any symptoms. Conclusion: The frequency of peripheral neuropathy is higher in early stages of type II diabetes mellitus and its frequency can be reduced to diagnose within a month.

Aim: We assessed the association of monocyte count to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and its role as a marker for identification of high-risk patients for DPN. Methods: A total of 180 patients with Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were enrolled in the study. MHR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum CRP along with other tests for T2DM and DPN were measured. Results: Duration of T2DM (p = 0.013), insulin use (p = 0.006) and serum CRP levels (p = 0.008) were significantly higher in patients with DPN. MHR was similar between groups (p = 0.447). Duration of diabetes (OR: 1.048; p = 0.038) and the serum CRP levels (OR: 1.073; p = 0.026) were found as independent predictors for the presence of DPN, however, MHR was not. Conclusion: Higher MHR indicates an enhanced inflammation and oxidative stress which was not found to be associated with the presence of DPN.

Background: Diabetic peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy is one of the most prevalent neuropathic syndromes affecting around 50 % people with diabetes. Its development is gradual with subtle changes hence ignored. Early diagnosis using simple bedside tools is essential. Methods: The prospective study of evaluation of peripheral neuropathy in diabetes involved examination of 500 diabetic patients for neuropathy. Pinprick, vibration sensation, perception of 5.07 Semmes Weinstein monofilament and Achilles tendon reflex were examined and impairment noted. Results: 39 % patients had impairment of perception of Semmes Weinstein monofilament. Loss of pinprick sensation was found in 65.6 % in patients with diabetes for 5-10 years duration. Abnormal tendon reflex was seen in 64.2 % in patients with diabetes move than 10 years. Loss of Vibration (40.2 %), Wasting (16.6 %), loss of pinprick sensation (44.5%) and loss of abnormal tendon reflex (32.1 %) was found to be more common in type II diabetes. Conclusion: Sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy was more common in long standing diabetes mellitus especially with impaired glycaemic control and type II diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus linked to severe macrovascular and the microvescular complications. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the challenging complication of the diabetes mellitus, which is linked to the morbidity, mortality, and big economic burden. We determined the frequency of peripheral neuropathy in newly diagnosed cases of type II diabetes mellitus.Materials & Methods: The current descriptive Cross Sectional study took place in Services Institute of Medical Sciences, Lahore, From June 2014 to January 2015. All the patients, those were newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, aged 30-60 years and both genders were included. Detailed history regarding diabetes was taken. Patients underwent for the evaluation of peripheral neuropathy by taking physical examination, previous history and vibration perception test. All the data was recorded in the Proforma.Results: Total 150 cases were studied, out of them, 42.67% were aged 30-45 years while 57.33% were in the age range of 46-60 years and their overall mean age was 46.35 ± 9.52 years. Males were 54.0% and females were 46.0%. Frequency of peripheral neuropathy for newly diagnosed type II diabetic subjects was noted 20.67%, with insignificant association of age and gender.Conclusion: It was concluded that the peripheral neuropathy was 20.67% among patients newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
