Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a global epidemic. It is major concern due to its complications and socioeconomic burden. The disease affects all the organs, including the lung and many studies suggest lung may be considered as a ‘target organ’ in diabetes mellitus. Methods: A case control study with 100 subjects of which 50 diabetics as case and other 50 were healthy control matched with age and sex. All 100 were subjected to undergo spirometry to evaluate pulmonary function and results were interpreted accordingly. Results: On comparison of cases and control with pulmonary function test parameters obtained, FVC was low among diabetics with a mean of 64.82 as compared to controls with mean of 85.46 and FEV1 with the mean of 71.7 compared to controls with mean of 80.4 with a significant p value of 0.0312. Conclusions: Pulmonary dysfunction in the form of restrictive pattern is significantly seen in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
