Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is presently the fastest growing disease and has been recognized to be caused by a collision between inherited parental genes and the environment. The current prevalence in Pakistan of type-2 diabetes mellitus is 26.3%. Out of them 19.2% had disease two to three decades back while 7.1% are recently diagnosed cases. Worldwide burden of disease was 415 million in 2015 and this number will increase to 642 million by 2040. Parental history of diabetes mellitus is a chief reason for the development of T2DM in children, but whether this association derives from shared genetic or environmental factors is unclear. Persistent high blood glucose levels can result in drastic outcomes like Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hyperosmolar non ketotic syndrome. Genome-wide association analyses have uncovered multiple genomic regions associated with T2DM, but identification of the causal variants remains a challenge. This review will discuss the approach of diagnosing T2DM by analyzing the association of gene variants and family history.

Background: With the heritability of Type 2 diabetes mellitus adding to the disease burden, it would be ideal to find screening tools to detect early changes that could be present in Euglycemic individuals with a genetic predisposition. Objective: To study if the parental history of type 2 diabetes mellitus has an association with the time domain, frequency domain and nonlinear basal heart rate variability indices Methods and material: Thiscross sectional study was conducted in the Physiology department of Goa Medical college over a period of 2 months on 70 Medical students between the age of 18-21 years, with low-moderate stress (PAS 10) and fair physical activity(PAI of American academy of health and fitness). Using an Inco Polyrite D instrument, data collection was done and the RR interval data was analysed using Kubios software for the basal Heart rate variability indices of time domain, frequency domain and nonlinear methods. Data was entered into Excel spreadsheet and analysed using SPSS version 14. Mann Whitney U test was done to test for statistical significance. Result: The mean age of the sample was 18.94± 0.759 years and out of the 70 subjects who had participated in the study 36 (51.4%) subjects had a positive parental family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus while 34 (48.6%) subjects did not. Significant changes were observed in the LF (nu), HF (nu) and LF/HF ratio. A significantly higher LF.n.u (p value - 0,008) and LF/HF (p value- 0.008) was observed in group with family history and a significantly lower HF.n.u ( p value – 0.007)was observed in the same group. No other significant changes were observed in time domain and non linear indices. Conclusion: Frequency domain HRV may be useful as a predictive index for diabetes mellitus. The presence of higher sympathetic activity and lower parasympathetic activity in individuals (with comparable stress level, BMI, physical activity) having a positive parental history of diabetes mellitus might indicate an underlying autonomic imbalance Keywords: Diabetes, Family history, Heart rate variability, HRV, parental history, Sympathovagal balance

Objective We aimed to investigate whether patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a family history (FH) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risk of endocrinological and metabolic abnormalities, and whether this risk differs between first-degree and second-degree relatives, and between maternal and paternal transmission. Methods A total of 680 patients with PCOS were enrolled in this retrospective, single-center study. Endocrine and glycolipid metabolism parameters were compared. Results The free androgen index (FAI), and levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher, whereas sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were significantly lower in patients with PCOS and a FH of T2DM. In patients with PCOS with a FH of T2DM in first-degree relatives, age and levels of FBG, FINS, and HOMA-IR were significantly higher than those who had a FH of T2DM in second-degree relatives. A maternal history of T2DM was associated with a higher body mass index, FAI, and TG levels, and lower SHBG levels. Conclusions Patients with PCOS and a FH of T2DM have more severe hyperandrogenism and metabolic disorders, especially in those with maternal transmission.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a prevalent chronic disease with several macrovascular and microvascular complications. Cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease and stroke are common macrovascular complication that reduces the quality of life and lead to early mortality. Additionally, they pose enormous socioeconomic burden on the societies and the governments. Therefore, any intervention that reduces the cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes will have positive impact of the patients and the society. Thus, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular events after metabolic surgery in comparison with the new classes of glucose lowering agents in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The review included 11 randomized controlled trials to both GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2 i groups. It also included 7 metabolic surgery studies, 2 of these are randomized controlled trials and the other 5 are observational studies. These studies were the most relevant studies to the research question. The results revealed different baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between the medication trials and metabolic surgery studies. Moreover, it revealed significant reduction in cardiovascular events in metabolic surgery studies when compared to medication trials. It also showed significant HbA1c and weight reduction in the metabolic surgery group. The remission of diabetes was very high in the metabolic surgery group while none of medication trials accomplished diabetes recovery. However, both medication and surgery groups had adverse events. In conclusion, the review is consistent with previous literature. It suggests that metabolic surgery is more effective than medical therapy in reducing cardiovascular events. Although this conclusion should be interpreted with caution due to the differences in baseline characteristics between studies. In general, the review recommends younger adult diabetic patients with obesity and history of established cardiovascular diseases to undergo metabolic surgery. Whereas, older patients with history of cardiovascular disease should be advised to take one of the medications that has been proved to reduce cardiovascular events. Future studies that compare metabolic surgery and the new classes of the glucose lowering agents is recommended to confirm the findings in this review.

Abstract Background Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes in adults, with 90% to 95% of cases. This study aims to establish clusters and have knowledge about the relationship between previous cardiovascular events and pharmacological treatment for T2DM. Methods 191 participants (EG) with T2DM with the average of 70.3 years (SD = 8.3) and 36 with pre-diabetes (CG) with an average of 62 years (SD = 10.3) who participated in clinical trials at Clinical Research Unit in Cardiology of Coimbra Hospital and Universitary Centre without cognitive difficulties, were divided in 5 different clusters. These were established based on six different variables: body mass index (BMI), age of each individual, age at diagnosis of DMT2, glycated haemoglobin value (HbA1c), homeostatic model that estimates the function of β cells (HOMA2-B) and insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR). Results Cluster 1 presented pre-diabetic individuals (15.9%), while diabetic individuals were divided into clusters 2 (1.8%), 3 (17.6%), 4 (21.1%) and 5 (43.6%). Regarding the study of the prevalence of previous cardiovascular events, the majority of individuals present in the different clusters had history of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). As for the prevalence of pharmacological treatment for DMT2, it was found that metformin was the most used drug. It was observed a relationship between previous AMI and metformin administration in clusters 3 (P = 0.0027; P < 0.05) and 5 (P = 0.0059; P < 0.05). Conclusions It was possible to create different clusters in a sample of the Portuguese population and to observe the existence of dependency relationships between different previous cardiovascular events and pharmacological treatment.
