INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus (DM) afflicts at least 5 million people in Nigeria, with more than 80% having type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Microvascular complications increase both morbidity and mortality inpatients with T2DM. The aims of this study were to report the burden of various microvascular complications in T2DM and to identify various factors associated with these complications in ...

conclusions the findings confirmed the positive influence of ud supplements and aerobic training on glycemic control in males with t2dm. when aerobic training was combined with a ud supplement, a greater degree of glycemic control was observed. results a significant decrease in fasting blood sugar (fbs) was observed in the ae group (-9.50 ± 6.96 mg/dl; p = 0.002), the ud group (-7.60 ± 6.04 mg/...

Compared with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) does not affect the production of inhibit organs to absorb the produced insulin. Based on studies on the relationship between cardiac diseases and T2DM, the fact that many myocardial diseases including elevated risk for myocardial infraction, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death are common in T2DM. Therefore, studies in T2DM can benefic c...

OBJECTIVE The manuscript investigates the relation between adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Chinese population. METHODS We designed a case-control study involving 340 normal glucose tolerant (NGT) subjects and 340 type 2 diabetes patients. Three SNPs (rs182052, rs1501299, and rs7627128) were genotyped by TaqMan methods. RESULTS We found that r...

Background:A high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been reported. However, the epidemiology and relationship between DKD and occult HCV infection (OCI)are unknown.Objetives: To determine the prevalence of OCI in a population without conventional markers of HCV infection diagnosed with DKD, and to study its possible clinical impli...

Objective: Type 2 diabetes(T2DM) patients can ben­efit from exercise training programs but there are many barriers to do exercise .The aim of this study was to investigate effects of 10 weeks aerobic, resistance and combined strength and aerobic exercise program on fasting blood sugar (FBS) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of T2DM male patients. Materials and Methods: A quasi experimental s...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) could assist in classifying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and non-T2DM among patients attending clinics in India. METHODS Patient records from 2006 through 2009 were taken from the clinical database of a tertiary care diabetes hospital in Chennai, Southern India. A total of 8747 patients with diabetes...

BACKGROUND Inhibition of glucose oxidation during initial reperfusion confers protection against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the heart. Mitochondrial metabolism is altered with progression of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We hypothesized that the metabolic alterations present at onset of T2DM induce cardioprotection by metabolic shutdown during IR, and that chronic alterations seen in late T2...
