Abstract

Association between body mass index (BMI) and glycemic control, comorbidities/complications, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) enrolled in the Diabetes Disease Specific Programme. Surveys of 200 physicians and 2052 patients with T2DM captured demographic, clinical, and HRQoL information. Adjusted and unadjusted analyses were conducted across 3 BMI groups; normal (18.5-<24.0, n=998), overweight (24.0-<28.0, n=822), and obese (≥28.0, n=212). There were no between group differences in the achievement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7.0% (48mmol/mol); however, compared with the normal BMI group, more obese patients had an HbA1c >9.0% (75mmol/mol; 4.3% vs 10.2%, P=0.002). More obese patients compared with normal BMI patients had hypertension (48.6% vs 35.3%, P<0.001), dyslipidemia (35.4% vs 18.8%, P<0.001), or both hypertension and dyslipidemia (24.1% vs 13.9%, P<0.001). Patients in the obese group reported worse HRQoL and greater effects of diabetes on their daily living. Obesity in Chinese patients with T2DM results in poor glycemic control, more comorbidities, and worse HRQoL. Management of these patients should include efforts to reduce weight.

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.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Disorder in Diabetes

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disorders and heart failure. Discover the latest research here.
