The Relationship

Diabetogenic effect of organochlorine, organophosphorus, and copper-containing pesticides and. to a lesser degree, of carbamates, has been established. Diabetes developed in remote periods after exposure to these agents. The relationship between diabetes incidence and the type of pesticide and its concentration used at a certain territory is statistically unreliable, which may be explained by the multifactorial nature of this disease; the correlation is medium-expressed. A greater diabetogenic action was observed for type II diabetes; the ecological risk index, characterizing the tendency to increase of the morbidity, is more informative. The authors explain the diabetogenic effect of pesticides by their general toxic action.

Apoe Phenotype

Hypertriglyceridaemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients suffering from Type II diabetes mellitus, and is due to enhanced synthesis and/or impaired clearance of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. In the present study we investigated whether pseudocholinesterase (PChE) activity could serve as a marker for the rate of triacylglycerol synthesis in these patients. Patients were stratified according to their apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype, i.e. E3E2, E3E3 or E3E4. In study I, the relationship between PChE activity and serum triacylglycerols was investigated in 224 insulin-treated patients with Type II diabetes. In study II, which had a cross-over design, PChE activity was measured in 45 dyslipidaemic, insulin-treated patients with Type II diabetes that were treated with bezafibrate or pravastatin. In study I, PChE activity was correlated positively with serum triacylglycerol concentrations, but did not differ significantly between apoE phenotypes. The strongest relationship was found in the E3E4 group (r = 0.50; P = 0.001), the phenotype for which hypertriglyceridaemia is expected to be the result of increased triacylglycerol synthesis. In a stepwise multiple regression analysis, serum triacylglycerol concentrations were found to be the strongest predictor of PChE activity in the E3E4 group. In study II, PChE activity decreased as a result of bezafibrate treatment in all three apoE groups. The decrease in PChE activity with bezafibrate treatment paralleled the decrease in serum triacylglycerol concentrations in the apoE subgroups. Pravastatin treatment did not significantly affect PChE activity. Thus the present study suggests an association between PChE activity and the rate of triacylglycerol synthesis. Measurement of PChE activity may therefore be a useful tool in the choice of drug for treatment of hypertriglyceridaemia in patients with Type II diabetes.

The Relationship

Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that occurs because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Quality of life is very important to get serious attention, because the quality of life is something that is closely related to a person's health condition, the severity of the disease, the duration of healing, and can even aggravate the condition of the disease to death if a person has a poor quality of life. This study aims to determine the relationship between family support and stress with the quality of life of the elderly with type II diabetes mellitus in the Sekupang Health Center, Batam City, 2020. Data collection usedthe questionnaire brought by the researcher to the population elderly people with Type II Diabetes Mellitusin Batam City in 2020. The inclusion criteria are elderly who are willing to be respondents, elderly who suffer from Diabetes Mellitus Type II, elderly who are ≥60 years old, elderly who can communicate well, and elderly who do not experience cognitive impairment. Research respondents involved in this study were 64 respondents. Chi-Square statistical test results obtained value (p value = 0.000 <0.05), indicating that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between family support and stress with the quality of life of the elderly with type II diabetes mellitus in the Sekupang Health Center, Batam City, 2020.

The Relationship

Diabetic nephropathy is accountable for nearly third of the world cases of last step of renal disease; it becomes a major public health problem with social and economic burden. To assess the relationship between Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.  The present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the department of Ophthalmology at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, over a period of 12 months during  March 2018- February’ 2019 and were assess for the relationship between Retinopathy and Nephropathy. All patients of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients with Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Nephropathy were included in the study. Majority (64.0%) patients had diabetic nephropathy and 36(36.0%) had not diabetic nephropathy. Almost three fourth (73.4%) patients was found diabetic retinopathy in diabetic retinopathy and 27(54.0%) in without diabetic retinopathy. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two group. This study suggests that Diabetic Nephropathy has a significant association with the presence of Diabetic Retinopathy in persons with Type II DM. Bangladesh Med J. 2019 May; 48 (2): 24-27

Regular Screening

Type II diabetes is predominantly preventable and managing diabetes by using standard protocols and measures such as promoting healthy living, self-care education in patients, regular screening, with the aim of early diagnosis of disease and its treatment is necessary. These modalities can potentially prevent complications and premature death due to diabetes. Therefore, according to increasing prevalence of diabetes in Iran, along with the growth of aging and lifestyle changes towards urbanization and inactivity, it is necessary to plan for the prevention, care and screening of diabetes in rural areas, especially in the cities, which still have a large proportion of unknown patients.
