Registry Study for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Diabetic Center in Saudi Arabia with Comparative Analysis for Controlled Versus Uncontrolled Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Endocrinology and Diabetes - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Background Aims: Comparative analysis of 109 controlled cases versus 120 uncontrolled cases to see the outcome for different treatment methods in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a Diabetic Center, included 229 Type 2 Diabetic Patients with mean age of 49.6 ± 12.6 years. 1.7% of patients were on diet only, 69% on oral hypoglycemic drugs, 4.8% on Insulin and 24.5% on combined insulin & oral hypoglycemic drugs. Results: Vitamin D Level increased from 31.3 to 70.3ng/ml and 31.4 to 69.6ng/ml in controlled & uncontrolled patients between beginning & end of the study. Total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C & TG improved by -11.2% & -4.8%, +19.8% & +3.1%, -11.1% & 0.8% and -30.4% & -3.4% in controlled & uncontrolled patients respectively. Hba1c decreased by 15.4% in controlled patients, and by 6.0% in uncontrolled DM patients; (p=0.007). FBG also decreased by 24.9% and 8.1%, for controlled and uncontrolled DM patients. Vitamin D level was investigated in both groups; vitamin D increase (p-value 0.000) has an effect on diabetes mellitus type 2 control. A better lipid profile was seen with controlled patients than uncontrolled patients. Conclusion: Controlled diabetic patients showed better clinical outcomes than uncontrolled patients regarding lipid profile, HbA1c, FBG and Vitamin D deficiency. Strict diabetes control regulates TG and HDL-C, which in turn decreases CV risk.
