Metformin is a classical oral antidiabetic drug, often recommended to be the first-choice treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Based on the previous research on STK11 and diabetes, we aimed to investigate the distributive characteristic of STK11 rs2075604 polymorphism and the potential influence of STK11 rs2075604 polymorphism on metformin efficacy among Chinese T2DM patients. There was no significant difference between T2DM patients (G = 64.8%, T = 35.2%) and healthy subjects (G = 62.7%, T = 37.2%) in STK11 rs2075604 genotype and allele frequencies. After 12 weeks of treatment, 62 patients were defined as the responders and 32 patients as nonresponders according to the decrease of HbA1c level. And the GT + TT genotype in STK11 rs2075604 can decrease HbA1c level more significantly than the GG genotype. Furthermore, the allele frequency of T in the STK11 rs2075604 was higher in the responders than the nonresponders (43.55% versus 26.56%). The T allele in the STK11 rs2075604 had a 2.133 times great chance of responding to metformin treatment. In conclusion, this study suggested that the STK11 rs2075604 genetic polymorphism was significantly associated with metformin efficacy in Chinese T2DM patients and the carriers of the T allele may gain a better therapeutic metformin efficacy compared with the G allele. This trial is registered with clinical study registration number NCT03155087.

Abstract Background Our study attempted to observe the value of periodontal curettage combined with root planing on moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods There involved 72 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into four groups using a computer-generated table: root planing and periodontal curettage combined group (n = 18), root planning group (n = 18), periodontal curettage group (n = 18) and cleansing group (n = 18). Blood glucose, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), serum levels of inflammatory factors (Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha [TNF- α] and hypersensitive C-reactive protein [hs-CRP]) were observed before and after treatment. The collecting dates were analyzed by the chi-square χ 2 test, repeated measurement analysis of variance, or t-test according to different data types and research objectives. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in PI, GI, PD and AL among the four groups (P> 0.05), while after 3-month treatment, the levels of PI, GI, PD and AL in the combined group were lower than those in the root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group, with both root planing group and periodontal curettage group significantly lower than cleansing group (P< 0.05). The fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in the combined group, root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in TNF- α and hs-CRP among the four groups (P> 0.05), but the levels of TNF- α and hs-CRP in the four groups decreased significantly after 3-month treatment (P< 0.05). The levels of TNF- α and hs-CRP in the combined group were lower than those in the root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group, and those in the root planing group and periodontal curettage group were significantly lower than those in the cleansing group (P< 0.05). Conclusion The combination therapy of periodontal curettage and root planing exerted beneficial effects on moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which holds the potential to maintain the level of blood glucose and improve the quality of life of the patients.

Aims: Increased level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with an increased prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c levels at the time of PAD diagnosis. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital during the period August 2011 to December 2015. Consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes presented with symptomatic PAD confirmed by computed tomography-angiography (CTA) were included in this study. CTA images were reviewed. Relevant information including demographic data, PAD symptoms, comorbidities, HbA1c level, lipid profile, C-reactive protein and the mean platelets volume were retrieved from medical records. Results: A total of 332 patients with type 2 diabetes (255 males and 77 females) were included in this study. The mean HbA1c at the time of PAD diagnosis was 8.68% (±2.06%). The prevalence of hemodynamic relevant atherosclerotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery, leg vessels, femoro-popliteal, and crural segments was significantly higher in patients with HbA1c >7.5% compared with patients with HbA1c ⩽7.5%. Conclusion: The anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus differed significantly according to HbA1c level at the time of PAD diagnosis.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by decreased tissue sensitivity to insulin. The prevalence of diabetes in the world has almost doubled since 1980, from 4.7% to 8.5% in adult population. Early diagnosis and treatment aimed at normalizing glycemic control are very important. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare glycemic control of metformin and glimepiride in monotherapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Islamic Jemursari Hospital Surabaya. Method: This was a retrospective observational study using secondary data (medical record), include glycemic control (RPG) before and two months after receiving therapy of outpatients’ type 2 diabetes mellitus with metformin or glimepiride therapy in 2018. 96 samples were found that fit the inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. Result: Most patients were female, aged 50-69 years old, and dosage of metformin therapy 1500 mg/day or glimepiride therapy 2 mg/day. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) of glycemic control (RPG) of metformin compared to glimepiride therapies in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Islamic Jemursari Hospital Surabaya in 2018. Conclusion: Metformin and glimepiride were not significantly different in glycemic control (RPG). There were patients with RPG >200 mg/dl after two months of metformin or glimepiride therapy.

Abstract Background This work aimed to evaluate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC47A1 (922-158G>A; rs2289669) and SLC47A2 (−130G>A; rs12943590) genes on the relative change in HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients of South India who are taking metformin as monotherapy. It also aims to study the effects of these SNPs on the dose requirement of metformin for glycemic control and the adverse effects of metformin. Methods Diabetes patients on metformin monotherapy were recruited based on the eligibility criteria (n=105). DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed with a real-time PCR system using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay method. The HbA1c levels were measured using Bio-Rad D-10™ Hemoglobin Analyzer. Results After adjusting for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction) the difference found in the glycemic response between the “GG” genotype and “AG/AA” genotype groups of the SLC47A2 gene was not significant (p=0.027; which was greater than the critical value of 0.025). Patients with “GG” genotype showed a 5.5% decrease in HbA1c from baseline compared to those with the “AG/AA” genotype (0.1% increase). The SNP in the SLC47A1 gene also did not influence the glycemic response to metformin (p=0.079). The median dose requirements based on the genotypes of the rs12943590 variant (p=0.357) or rs2289669 variant (p=0.580) were not significantly different. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse effects across the genotypes in both the SLC47A1 (p=0.615) and SLC47A2 (p=0.309) genes. Conclusions The clinical response to metformin was not associated with the SNPs in the SLC47A1 and SLC47A2 genes coding for the multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) transporters. Furthermore, the studied SNPs had no influence on the dose requirement or adverse effects of metformin.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus or Type 2 DM is a metabolic disease that can cause severe complications so that adequate management which one of the targets is lowering HbA1c level is needed. Up to this time, treatment for Type 2 DM including antihiperglycemic and injection. Herbal remedies as well as dates (Phoenix datcylifera) has been limited even though it has well-known antihyperglycemic effect. To investigate the effectivity of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) in lowering HbA1c level among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Literature searching was conducted on four online databases which are PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library based on inclusion and exclusion criterias. Based on the results of critical studies, seven studies have shown that there is effectiveness in the administration of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on Lowering HbA1c levels and restricition of date diet needed for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in 3 dates per day that are statistically significant for lowering HbA1c level with value of NNT is 1. Administration of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) can be used as an adjuvant therapy on Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis are chronic diseases with increasing prevalence. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture in women with T2DM and to identify predictive factors of fracture occurrence. The prevalence of osteoporosis and fractures in postmenopausal women with T2DM was 23.1% and 16.9%, respectively. 46.2% of T2DM patients had normal bone mineral density (BMD) (P<0.01) and 58.5% of control subjects had osteopenia (P<0.01). Incidence of fracture in T2DM patients with osteopenia was significantly increased versus control subjects when stratified according the BMD (P=0.009). By stratifying T2DM patients according to fractures, factors that were significantly associated with occurrence included T2DM duration (P=0.038), use of insulin (P=0.017), and lower BMD (P=0.048). Our study suggests that there was a higher prevalence of fracture in T2DM patients compared to control subjects and a significant difference in BMD was found between the groups. We also showed that insulin use, low BMD, and long duration of T2DM are factors associated with an increased risk of bone fracture.

Previous longitudinal studies have demonstrated that blood pressure measurements at home (HBP) in the wakening- up display stronger predictive power for death, and vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than clinic blood pressure measurements (CBP). The leading cause of death was cancer. Patients with T2DM have associated with cancer, and high CBP is a risk factor for cancer. Therefore, this study investigated whether HBP or CBP is related to cancer event in patients with T2DM for 10 years. At baseline, 400 Japanese patients with T2DM were classified as hypertensive (HT) or normotensive (NT) based on HBP and CBP. Mean (± SD) duration was 95 ± 35 months. Primary and secondary endpoints were death and cancer, respectively. Differences in outcome between HT and NT were analyzed using survival curves from Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank testing. Associated risk factors were assessed using Cox proportional hazards. On basis of HBP, death and event of cancer were significantly higher in HT than in NT. The leading cause of death was cancer. On basis of CBP, there was no significant difference in the incidence of death and event of cancer between patients with HT and NT at baseline. Associated risk factor for cancer was T2DM. Home morning HT may be reflected more keenly state of cancer than clinic HT, which may be superior to clinic NT. When we meet with such patients, it is important that cancer may be one of many causes for morning HT in Japanese patients with T2DM.

Abstract There are no large-scale studies on the association between time in range (TIR) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) only. The aim of this study was to define the relationship between TIR and HbA1c levels in Japanese patients with T2DM. The glycemic profile of 999 patients was analyzed with FreeStyle Libre Pro Continuous Glucose Monitoring (FLP-CGM) while they continued their prescribed glucose-lowering medications. FLP-CGM data recorded over 8 consecutive days were analyzed. The regression model for HbA1c on TIR was HbA1c = 9.4966 − 0.0309×TIR. The predicted HbA1c level for TIR of 70% was 7.33%, and is higher than recent reports subjecting mostly T1DM. The TIR corresponding to HbA1c 7.0% was 80.64%. HbA1c level correlated significantly with many FLP-CGM-derived metrics. The patients with low TIR tended to have long history of diabetes, on higher daily insulin dose and had high body mass index, HbA1c, liver dysfunction and triglyceride. Furthermore, relatively higher percentages of patients of this group used sulfonylureas, glinides, glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists and insulin. Our data showed that the predicted HbA1c corresponding to TIR is largely depends on the study population, thus is not uniform. Our results provide new insights on the management of T2DM.

OBJECTIVE: The rate of reduction of nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) is lesser than normal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHC) disrupts vascular structure and function, no matter the underlying causes. The risk of development of vascular disease is greater in diabetic patients with hyperhomocysteinemia than in patients with normal homocystein levels. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there are differences of homocystein levels in dipper and non-dippers patients with type 2 DM. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We compared 50 patients (33 females, 17 males) with type 2 DM and 35 healthy individuals (18 females, 17 males ) in a control group. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed and homocysteine levels were measured in all patients. RESULTS: We found that the percentage of non-dipper pattern was 72% in patients with type 2 DM and 57% in control group. In diabetic and control individuals, homocystein levels were higher in non-dipper (respectively 13.4 ± 8.1 µmol/L and 11.8 ± 5 µmol/L) than in dipper subjects (respectively, 11.8 ± 5.8 µmol/L and 10.1 ± 4.2 µmol/L), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (respectively, p = 0.545, p = 0.294). CONCLUSION: In both groups, homocystein levels were higher in non-dipper than in dipper participants, but there was no significant difference between the groups. High homocystein levels and the non-dipper pattern increases cardiovascular risk. Therefore, the relationship between nocturnal blood pressure changes and homocystein levels should be investigated in a larger study.
