During last ten years the prevalence of diabetes mellitus significantly increased. Taking into consideration the role of metabolic impairments in the pathogenesis of diabetes and of dry eye syndrome, the increase in number of patients suffering from kerato-conjunctival xerosis on the background of carbohydrate metabolism disorder is highly predictive. This is favored also by the fact that type 2 diabetes, assuring the main increase in disease incidence, is constantly “rejuvenating”, more and more covering a substantial group of a socially-active part of population, which assumes a modern life-style with all the adverse effects accompanying hasty urbanization. The article is dedicated to the comprehensive dry eye syndrome treatment in diabetic patients.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus with ocular involvement and that of dry eye syndrome constantly increase. As the result, the ophthalmologist has to deal more and more often with patients having signs of both pathological processes. Neuropathy, against the background of metabolic disorders in diabetes, is an additional factor promoting the aggravation of corneoconjunctival xerosis. A significant part of socially active population suffering from carbohydrate metabolism disorder needs a prescription of medications to correct symptoms as well as signs of the dry eye syndrome. The present article concentrates on investigating trehalose efficacy in dry eye syndrome treatment in diabetic patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetic patients often require insulin therapy for better glycaemic control. However, many of these patients do not receive insulin or do not receive it in a timely manner. Objective: The study was planned to assess the proportion of type 2 diabetic patients attaining treatment goals as per the ADA 2018 guidelines. In addition, patient’s perception on insulin therapy assessed and compared between insulin naïve and insulin initiated type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: The study was conducted in type 2 diabetic patients. Data on their demographics, medical history, duration of diabetes, history of diabetes related complications, the current antidiabetic medication received, most recent glycaemic parameters were noted. Patient’s perception on insulin initiation was recorded through structured interview. Results: A total of 129 patients were included in the study. Around 76.7% patients achieved HbA1c target (<7%). Duration of the disease is much higher in patients who did not meet the HBA1c target. A good number of patients felt that insulin injection would be physically painful (56.5%). Majority of the patients also felt that insulin will make their life less flexible (64.8%). Many patients are having the opinion that insulin is required for life long (73.2%). More number of patients on insulin agreed with the statement ‘Leads to good short-term outcomes as well as long-term benefits’ compared to insulin naïve patients. Conclusion: The results highlight that the proportion of patients achieving recommended glycaemic target is not satisfactory. Many patients who are inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs were reluctant to initiate insulin.

AIM: To screen for dry eye among type 2 diabetic patients ,determine the prevalence and correlate with blood sugar levels. METHODS: 100 patients who were diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes were included in the study .Detailed history regarding ocular symptoms, diabetes and its duration was taken. A thorough ocular examination using Slit lamp bio microscopy was done and visual acuity tested with Snellen's chart.Tear lm status evaluated by Schirmer's I test, Tear lm break up time(TBUT),Tear meniscus height. Two or all of the above performed tests was positive in a given patient, the patient was deemed to be suffering from dry eye. RESULTS:Out of 100 patients, males were 48 and females were 52. 39 patients were found to show positive screening tests for dry eye.38% (out of 39 patients) had major symptom of foreign body sensation. 23 out of 39 patients were females. 14 out of 39 patients were in age group 51 to 60 years.Most of the diabetics with dry eye had duration of disease 5 to 10 years .39 patients had Tear Break Up time <10 sec, 25 patients had Tear Meniscus Height <0.25mm and 36 patients had Schirmers I test<10mm.Diabetics with dry eyes had average RBS of 179.63+57.28 and PPBS of 247.75+88.39 mg/dl. These values were more when compared to diabetics with no dry eye. CONCLUSION: Early ocular examination in Diabetic patients and good glycemic control should be done considering increased incidence of dry eyes.This should be an integral part of the assessment of diabetic eye disease so as to improve the patient's comfort and to prevent or minimize further structural damage to the ocular surface.
