Background and aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate serum Magnesium and lipid prole in diabetic patients and to nd out any correlation between serum magnesium and lipid prole in diabetic patients and its association with complications. Material and Methods: In the present study, 70 diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged >30 years attending Diabetic Outpatient and Inpatient Department at Vivekananda Polyclinic giving their consent for inclusion were considered to be included in the study as Cases. Results:In present the study, mean S. magnesium levels of patients with diabetic complications were found to be signicantly lower (1.09±0.22 mg/dl) as compared to that of patients in whom no diabetic complications were seen (2.19±0.71) and this difference was signicant statistically.Conclusions: In the diabetic population correlations of serum magnesium and Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and VLDL were Mild while HDL was of moderate level. Among controls correlations of Serum Magnesium with Total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL, and HDL were found to be weak and not found to be statistically signicant.

*** Oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin ***AIMS: To evaluate oxidative stress parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin, relating these values to its side effects, plasma levels, glycemic control, diabetic complications, lipid profile, and the influence of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up.METHODS: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, on metformin and in pharmacotherapeutic follow-up for four months, were evaluated. The pharmacotherapeutic follow-up consisted in providing information and answering patients’ questions about medication and disease. In addition, administration times, dosages, and presence or absence of side effects related to the use of metformin were verified. Glycemic and lipid profile, oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde) and plasma metformin were evaluated. Pearson’s correlation and Spearman’s correlation were performed to evaluate the relationship between the variables at the beginning of the study. The independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to assess the difference between the groups with and without diabetic complications. The range of values between the beginning and  end of the study was evaluated using Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon U test. The significance level was set at 5%.RESULTS: The initial sample consisted of 49 patients aged 59±9 years with a body mass index of 29.8±5.1 kg/m2, who have had diabetes for a median time of 36 months (interquartile range of 1-240) and have been on metformin for a median time of 36 months (interquartile range of 1-180). Twenty-five patients left the study between the second and fourth meetings. Malondialdehyde levels differed between before and after pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, being positively correlated with blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, and triglyceride level, and negatively correlated with metformin and superoxide dismutase. Blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, and malondialdehyde levels increased, whereas metformin levels decreased in the group with diabetic complications, and there was a correlation between malondialdehyde and the number of diabetic complications per patient.CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with metformin, oxidative stress was more pronounced in those with poor glycemic control and diabetic complications.

Abstract Introduction: Ertugliflozin (ERTU), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aim: As a pre-specified sub-study of the Phase 3 VERTIS CV trial (NCT01986881), the efficacy and safety of ERTU were assessed in patients with T2DM and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) inadequately controlled with metformin and sulfonylurea (SU). Methods: Patients with T2DM, established ASCVD, and HbA1c 7.0–10.5% on stable metformin (≥1500 mg/day) and SU doses as defined per protocol were randomized to once-daily ERTU (5 mg or 15 mg) or placebo. The primary sub-study objectives were to assess the effect of ERTU on HbA1c compared with placebo and to evaluate safety and tolerability during 18-week follow-up. Key secondary endpoints included proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body weight, and systolic blood pressure. Changes from baseline at Week 18 for continuous efficacy endpoints were assessed using a constrained longitudinal data analysis model. Results: Of the 8246 patients enrolled in the VERTIS CV trial, 330 patients were eligible for this sub-study (ERTU 5 mg, n=100; ERTU 15 mg, n=113; placebo, n=117). Patients had a mean (SD) age of 63.2 (8.4) years, T2DM duration 11.4 (7.4) years, estimated glomerular filtration rate 83.5 (17.8) mL/min/1.73 m2, and HbA1c 8.3% (1.0) (67.4 [10.6] mmol/mol). At Week 18, ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg were each associated with a significantly greater least squares mean (95% CI) HbA1c reduction from baseline versus placebo; the placebo-adjusted differences for ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg were –0.7% (–0.9, –0.4) and –0.8% (–1.0, –0.5), respectively (P<0.001). A higher proportion of patients in each ERTU group achieved HbA1c <7% relative to placebo (P<0.001). ERTU significantly reduced FPG and body weight (P<0.001, for each dose versus placebo), but not systolic blood pressure. Adverse events were reported in 48.0%, 54.9%, and 47.0% of patients in the ERTU 5 mg, 15 mg, and placebo groups, respectively. Genital mycotic infections were experienced by significantly higher proportions of male patients who received ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg (4.2% and 4.8%, respectively) versus placebo (0.0%; P≤0.05) and by a numerically, but not significantly, higher proportion of female patients who received ERTU 15 mg (10.3%) compared with placebo (3.8%) (P=0.36). The incidences of symptomatic hypoglycemia were 11.0% (5 mg), 12.4% (15 mg), and 7.7% (placebo), and of severe hypoglycemia 2.0% (5 mg), 1.8% (15 mg), and 0.9% (placebo). Conclusion: Among patients with T2DM and ASCVD, ERTU (5 mg and 15 mg) added to metformin and SU for 18 weeks improved glycemic control (HbA1c and FPG) and reduced body weight, and was generally well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the SGLT2 inhibitor class.

IntroductionBariatric surgeries are effective in treating obesity related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. More robust evidence is needed to facilitate choice of procedure. In this systemic review, we aim to investigate the comparative long-term effectiveness in inducing remission of type 2 diabetes, halting diabetic complications, reducing mortality and the safety of conventional and emerging bariatric surgeries.Methods and analysisDatabases including Cochrane Central Register, EMBASE, MEDLINE and clinical trial registries will be searched for randomised controlled trials with at least 3 years of follow-up, including direct and/or indirect evidence regarding primary bariatric surgeries in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, from inception of each database to 2019, with no language or publication type limits imposed. Dual selection of studies, data extraction and risk of bias assessments will be performed. Primary outcomes include full diabetes remission, composite outcome of full or partial diabetes remission and adverse event profiles. Secondary outcomes include anthropometric measurements, cardiovascular risk factor burden, medication burden, diabetic complications and all-cause mortality. Given sufficient homogeneity, network meta-analyses will be performed in a random-effects model based on the Bayesian framework, while assessing for consistency between direct and indirect estimates. Heterogeneities of studies will be explored through meta-regression analysis, and robustness of findings will be checked by sensitivity analysis, and an alternative method under a frequentist framework. All statistical analysis and graphical presentations will be conducted by R software V.3.3.3 (The R Project for Statistical Computing). The overall quality of the evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria for each outcome.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is not required as individual patient data will not be included. This review will be subject for publication in a peer reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018110775.
