Introduction: The main issue with the morbidity and mortality of type 2 diabetes is its associated health complications. In the last decade Glycated Albumin (GA) emerged as an extinguished marker for short-term glycaemic control. Aim: To Quadrate the association of Body Mass Index (BMI) along with HDL-cholesterol to GA in Type 2 diabetic cases. Materials and Methods: Total of 50 diabetic cases (Group 1) and 50 healthy non-diabetic control subjects (Group 2) recruited for the study between November 2017 to December 2018, which includes both males and females. Serum samples of both the groups were analysed to assess the lipid profile to GA levels along with BMI. Variations among groups was compared using student t-test by calculating r-values of the parametres and the pearson coefficient was calculated with significant p value at <0.05. Results: The levels of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in group 1 when compared with group 2 were significantly lower. Both BMI and GA showed negative correlation with HDL-C levels in both the groups. (p values 0.051 and 0.331 respectively). To boot, there was a statistically undeviating reciprocity of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to GA levels, BMI to LDL-cholesterol and BMI to Triglycerides (TG). There was a statistically significant correlation between GA and BMI (r=0.240, p<0.0001) and there was a statistically significant negative correlation between GA and HDL-cholesterol (r=-0.286, p<0.051) in diabetic patients (group 1). The association between GA and LDL-cholesterol (r=0.271, p<0.0001) was also been found statistically significant in group 1. Conclusion: The present study suggests that GA can be adapted as a reliable prospective biomarker that endures the potentiality in prognostication of serum lipid levels in diabetic patients and also BMI is the key formidable feature of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic cases.

Background: Microalbuminuria is one of the earliest markers of diabetic nephropathy, and if not recognized and treated early it may lead to diabetic nephropathy resulting in chronic renal failure. Aims and Objective: The aim of the current study was to find out the prevalence of microalbuminuria among newly detected Type 2 diabetic patients and also compare prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with or without hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we analysed 90 patients with new onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. We divided the patients into two groups, group 1 with comorbidities like hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity (50 patients) and group 2 without comorbidities (40 patients). We analysed urinary microalbumin level in all patients and compared the prevalence of microalbuminuria between group 1 and group 2. Results: In our cohort of 90 patients, urinary microalbuminuria was found in 30 patients (33.3%). When we divided these nephropathy patients to group1 and group 2, we observed that group 1 with comorbidities had higher percentage of nephropathy patients i.e 24 out of 50(48%). Group 2 with 40 patients had only 6 patients with microalbiminuria ie 6 out of 40(15%). Incidence of microalbiminuria was higher in patients with hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity. Conclusions: We conclude that incidence of microalbiminuria is much more common in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. We also conclude that hypertension, obesity and hypercholesterolemia are risk factors for nephropathy and urinary microalbuminuria appears to be much more sensitive than serum creatinine as screening tool to detect diabetic nephropathy.

1.BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity are global public health problem with increasing prevalence worldwide1-3. It is a risk factor for many metabolic and cardiovascular diseases including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia etc4. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the common micro vascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and a leading cause of acquired blindness in adults. The aim of this study is nd relationship between different BMI classes and DR development in type 2 diabetic patients. 2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:To determine the association of BMI and diabetic retinopathy and risk factors for DR 3. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 206 type 2 diabetes patients from medicine ward of Swai man singh hospital and college Jaipur [Rajasthan]. The subjects were classied into one of the three categories according to the BMI. (1).Normal BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2; (2).Overweight BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2.(3).Obese BMI ≥30 kg/m2. Blood samples were collected after overnight fasting. Glycated haemoglobin value (HbA1c), total cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Complete eye examination included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp microscopy, and fundus examination with binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and plus 20D lens after mydriasis with topically administrated 1% tropicamide and 5% phenylephrine eye drops was done. According to the DR status, patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (no retinopathy; N= 168), group 2 diabetic retinopathy; N= 38) RESULT: Duration of type 2 diabetes was found longer with group 2 (9.6±4.5 years) as compare with group 1 (16.82±7.21 years). Association of body mass index (BMI) of type 2 diabetic patients (n =206) with diabetic retinopathy, no correlation was found with mean BMI in group 1 (25.48 ± 2.4) and group 2 (27.21± 2.0)( P value <0.1). In our study were found signicant correlation of HbA1c with DR (p value <.01). Mean value of HbA1c was higher in group 2 (8.41±.6) as compare with group 1 (7.01±.8). We found a signicant increase in total cholesterol (P <.01), triglycerides (P< 0.05) with the diabetic retinopathy

Lipid profile could be modified by Mediterranean diet (MD) and by red yeast rice (RYR). We assessed the lipid-lowering effects of MD alone or in combination with RYR on dyslipidemic statin-intolerant subjects, with or without type 2 diabetes, for 24 weeks. We evaluated the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglyceride, liver enzyme, and creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels. We studied 171 patients: 46 type 2 diabetic patients treated with MD alone (Group 1), 44 type 2 diabetic patients treated with MD associated with RYR (Group 2), 38 dyslipidemic patients treated with MD alone (Group 3), and 43 dyslipidemic patients treated with MD plus RYR (Group 4). The mean percentage changes in LDL cholesterol from the baseline were-7.34±3.14% (P<0.05) for Group 1;-21.02±1.63% (P<0.001) for Group 2;-12.47±1.75% (P<0.001) for Group 3; and-22±2.19% (P<0.001) for Group 4 with significant intergroup difference (Group 1 versus Group 2,P<0.001; Group 3 versus Group 4,P>0.05). No significant increase in AST, ALT, and CPK levels was observed in all groups. Our results indicate that MD alone is effective in reducing LDL cholesterol levels in statin-intolerant patients with a presumably low cardiovascular risk, but associating MD with the administration of RYR improves patients’ LDL cholesterol levels more, and in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Dyslipidaemia contributes to endothelial dysfunction and CVD (cardiovascular disease) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. While statin therapy reduces CVD in these patients, residual risk remains high. Fenofibrate corrects atherogenic dyslipidaemia, but it is unclear whether adding fenofibrate to statin therapy lowers CVD risk. We investigated whether fenofibrate improves endothelial dysfunction in statin-treated Type 2 diabetic patients. In a cross-over study, 15 statin-treated Type 2 diabetic patients, with LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol <2.6 mmol/l and endothelial dysfunction [brachial artery FMD (flow-mediated dilatation) <6.0%] were randomized, double-blind, to fenofibrate 145 mg/day or matching placebo for 12 weeks, with 4 weeks washout between treatment periods. Brachial artery FMD and endothelium-independent NMD (nitrate-mediated dilatation) were measured by ultrasonography at the start and end of each treatment period. PIFBF (post-ischaemic forearm blood flow), a measure of microcirculatory endothelial function, and serum lipids, lipoproteins and apo (apolipoprotein) concentrations were also measured. Compared with placebo, fenofibrate increased FMD (mean absolute 2.1±0.6 compared with −0.3±0.6%, P=0.04), but did not alter NMD (P=0.75). Fenofibrate also increased maximal PIFBF {median 3.5 [IQR (interquartile range) 5.8] compared with 0.3 (2.1) ml/100 ml/min, P=0.001} and flow debt repayment [median 1.0 (IQR 3.5) compared with −1.5 (3.0) ml/100 ml, P=0.01]. Fenofibrate lowered serum cholesterol, triacylgycerols (triglycerides), LDL-cholesterol, apoB-100 and apoC-III (P≤0.03), but did not alter HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol or apoA-I. Improvement in FMD was inversely associated with on-treatment LDL-cholesterol (r=−0.61, P=0.02) and apoB-100 (r=−0.54, P=0.04) concentrations. Fenofibrate improves endothelial dysfunction in statin-treated Type 2 diabetic patients. This may relate partly to enhanced reduction in LDL-cholesterol and apoB-100 concentrations.

Introduction: Recently, the sodium-glucose cotransporter2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin has been shown to lower cardiovascular risk among diabetic patients. It is intriguing that some SGLT2 inhibitors have been found to increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, while the relevance to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is unknown. Although the inhibitory effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on glucose reabsorption may accelerate compensatory lipid metabolism and subsequently reduce body weight and affect the lipid profile, much remains unclear about this mechanism. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate in detail how canagliflozin affects lipoprotein fractions including LDL and HDL subclasses. Materials and Methods: This study is a multicenter prospective study. The participants were patients with 22 type 2 diabetes (60.7 ± 11.6 years, 59.1% of men) who had HbA1c ⩾ 7.0% and consented to participate in the study. They were administered 100 mg canagliflozin orally once per day. Biochemistry test and cholesterol levels of 20 lipoprotein fractions (G1-G20) using high performance liquid chromatography methods were examined before and after 12 weeks of treatment period. Results: Significant decreases were observed in the participants’ body weight (69.7 to 67.9 kg, P < .001), systolic blood pressure (129.3 to 119.5 mm Hg, P < .01), and HbA1c (8.5% to 7.4%, P < .001). Cholesterol levels in the 20 lipoprotein fractions increased for very large HDL (G14, G15) and large HDL (G16) ( P < .05). Conclusions: Reduction in body weight, improvement of blood glucose levels, and increases in very large HDL and large HDL subclasses were observed after canagliflozin treatment. These beneficial changes might contribute to subsequent suppression of cardiovascular outcomes.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between microalbuminuria and hypertension in type 2 diabetic patients. Study Design: It was a descriptive type of cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in collaboration at a diabetic clinic and Hypertension and Research Centre, Rangpur, Bangladesh from January to March 2018. Methodology: A total of 180 diabetic patients were selected purposively age ranges 30-75 years. Anthropometric as well as biochemical measurement was done. Data was collected by a semi-structured questionnaire through face to face interview and analyzed by SPSS-20. Results: Study subjects were separated into two groups. Group 1, those with normoalbuminuria (n=49) and Group 2, those having microalbuminuria (n=131). The prevalence of microalbuminuria was 72.8%. Group 2 or microalbuminuric patients showed higher blood pressure values (113.50±8.90 mm of Hg) as compared to Group 1 (101.88±9.80 mm of Hg). The results were statistically significant (P≤0.05). Further this study showed fasting blood sugar, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure and high level of sCreatinine were independently associated with microalbuminuria in the study subjects. The results were also statistically significant (P≤0.05). Conclusion: Our study revealed high prevalence of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients and has an optimistic association with blood pressure. This study suggests the need to screen for microalbuminuria early and the active management of modifiable risk factors in particular fasting blood sugar, sCreatinine, hypertension for intervention and prevention of further complications like end stage renal disease and cardiovascular diseases.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients frequently have various distressing gastrointestinal signs and symptoms and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) may be linked to it. Even after extensive search, there was dearth of literature related to IAP levels in serum of diabetic enteropathy subjects. So, using a case-control design, levels of IAP in the serum of T2DM subjects were determined.Methods: Serum IAP was measured by ELISA in 73 type 2 diabetic patients with enteropathy (group 1) and 71 type 2 diabetic patients without enteropathy (group 2). Statistical analysis of the data was performed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 16) and inferences were drawn.Results: Serum IAP was highly significantly reduced in group 1 (3.9 U/L) compared to group 2 (4.2 U/L).Conclusions: Enteropathy in T2DM may be related to reduction in IAP levels in serum. Estimation of serum IAP may be considered in type 2 diabetic patients with enteropathy, for the elaboration of treatment strategy and monitoring.

Background: HDL particles have several biological functions. Low levels of HDL-cholesterol are responsible for atherosclerotic disease. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disease of chronic etiology and low HDL‐cholesterol is frequent finding in diabetics. Levels of HDL with advancing age are inconsistent, few study show decline in HDL with increasing age while others show vice versa results. Objectives: Objective of this study was to establish an association between low HDL levels with advancing age in type 2 diabetic patients. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Diabetes Outpatient Department Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: 6 months extending from March 2018 to August 2018. Materials and Methods: 145 patients with newly or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, age >35 years were considered for the study. Those diabetics who had family history of dyslipidemias (to rule out familial hyperlipidemias) were excluded. Study was started after acquiring permission from ethical committee. All the patients were evaluated for the HDL levels by getting a fasting lipid assay. Results: Out of 145 cases 78 (53.6%) were males while remaining 67 (46.4%) were female. Mean age of the patients was 57.27 + 6.91 years. Mean HDL level was 37.82 + 8.42. It was seen that HDL is low in 116/145 (80%) patients. Those diabetic patients who were < 60 (91 cases), HDL was noticed to be low in 67/91(73.62%) patients. Among patients >60 years (54 cases), HDL was identified to be low in 49/54(90.7%) patients. P-value was found out to be 0.012 Conclusion: Due to falling levels of HDL with advancing age in diabetic patients, there is increase in cardiovascular events in elderly diabetic patients. So the measures which tend to increase HDL level will also give protection against adverse cardiovascular event in elderly diabetics.

ABO and Rh blood group systems have been associated with a number of diseases including type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Epidemiological studies have inconsistently associated ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood groups with T2DM risk. To assess the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among type-2 diabetic subjects and to check the potential association between ABO and Rh blood groups with T2DM. This small retrospective case-control study was conducted at DM WIMS Hospital, Wayanad. One-year data (from Jan-18 to Jan-19) of fasting, postprandial or random plasma/serum glucose, HbA1c, ABO and Rh blood groups of Non- diabetic and type -2 diabetic subjects were collected from the Hospital Clinical Laboratory Medicine department. Among 280 randomly selected data, 147 are non-diabetic subjects, and 133 are confirmed and known cases of type 2 diabetic mellitus. Subjects with Blood group B has the highest distribution percentage among group-2 (59.39%) in comparison with group-1 (34.02%), followed by A (19.55%), O (18.79%), AB (2.27%). Statistical analysis using Chi-square test among ABO and Rh blood groups between group-1 and group-2 showed a significant (p< 0.001) association of blood group “B +ve” and least association of blood group “O +ve” with T2DM. However, the Rh Blood groups evaluation for T2DM showed no clear association, as both Rh +ve and Rh -ve were uniformly distributed in the groups. The ABO and Rh blood groups may have a possible role to play in the development of T2DM. The subjects with B + ve blood group are at greater risk for T2DM and O + ve blood group individuals are at lower risk for T2DM.
