Abstract

Influence of dietary and drug compliance of patients with diabetes on attainment of optimal metabolic (glucose and lipid) control remains underexplored in developing countries. Self-reported dietary and drug compliance score of 0-10, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were obtained from patients with diabetes. HbA1c <7% and LDL <100 mg/dL were used to define optimal glucose and lipid control, respectively. Proportions achieving each and both optimal parameters were estimated. Regression analysis was used to study the association of age, gender, age of onset and the duration of diabetes, self-reported dietary, and drug compliance scores with achievement of both parameters. Mean (SD) age and duration of diabetes of 207 patients were 55 (10) and 10 (03) years. Optimal glucose and LDL control were achieved by 30% and 62%, and 23% had achieved both. Regression analysis revealed significant association of self-reported high dietary compliance with achievement of both targets. Findings highlight the suboptimal glucose and lipid control among patients with diabetes. Significant association of better dietary compliance with control of both parameters emphasizes the value of proper dietary adherence...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
