A study of newly diagnosed obese diabetics.

چکیده
Fifty seven newly diagnosed obese maturity onset diabetics were studied for 3 years to monitor the effect of diabetic control on weight and blood lipids. Of the 41 patients who had a satisfactory control of diabetes, weight loss of a modest degrec was recorded in only 6. The blood lipids did not show any significant changes in both the controlled and uncontrolled groups. It is suggested that blood sugar control can be achieved in a majority of obese diabetics without weight loss. However, the correction of abnormal lipid pattern probably neeth weight reduction to the near ideal weight (JPMA 31:8, 1981).
