Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, because of the accelerated process of atherosclerosis. Obesity is an established risk factor and has gained immense importance in recent studies as an important risk factor for clinical cardiovascular disease, yet the fundamental component stays unclear. Calf circumference is another form for lean mass and peripheral subcutaneous fat and is inversely associated with occurrence of carotid plaques (CP). Multiplicative and opposite effects of both Calf Circumference (CC) and Waist Circumference (WC) in event of CP suggest that the two measures should be taken into account commonly while assessing vascular risk profile. Aim & Objective: To ascertain if waist to calf circumference ratio (WCR) is a marker of Carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To asses s the correlation between waist to calf circumference ratio and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT ) in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study at Hospital affiliated to Kasturba Medical college Mangalore from Sept 2016 to Sept 2018 . Method of study: Patients with type 2 DM as per ADA criteria, age >18years are recruited for the study. Results and discussion: In our study with 150 population 25 patients had carotid atherosclerosis and 20 patients had CIMT>1.1. The waist circumference in patients with CA is in the range of 93.07 and 99.85 & the CC in patients with CA is in the range of 29.49 to 31.25. The WCR in patients with CA is in the range of 3.12 to 3.26. The difference was statistically significant with a p value of <0.05. In our study it was found that WC and WCR correlated well with carotid atherosclerosis, and surprisingly calf circumference also correlated with carotid atherosclerosis but not as significant as both WC and WCR. Conclusion: To conclude, in our population based study of 150 subjects we found that carotid atherosclerosis is significantly more in people with increased waist calf circumference ratio. WCR may be a new, useful and practical anthropometric index that facilitates the early identification of diabetic subjects with high risk for cardiovascular disease. Validation of this finding in individual populations is required. Future studies should test the association of calf circumference with carotid intima media thickness and carotid plaques using better measures than ultrasound such as magnetic resonance imaging. Further research focusing on underlying mechanisms in the role of lean mass and peripheral fat mass is required.

Background and Aims: Studies have shown that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DDP-4) inhibitors have anti-atherosclerotic effects. However, in the PROLOGUE study, sitagliptin failed to slow the progression of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) relative to conventional therapy. We conducted a post hoc analysis of the PROLOGUE study and compared the effects of sitagliptin and conventional therapy on changes in CIMT in subgroups with or without hyperuricemia. Methods: The PROLOGUE study was a randomized controlled trial of 442 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients were randomized to receive sitagliptin added therapy or conventional therapy. Based on the serum uric acid levels of all study populations in the PROLOGUE study, we divided them into hyperuricemia subgroup ( n = 104) and non-hyperuricemia subgroup ( n = 331). The primary outcome was changed in carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) parameters compared with baseline during the 24 months treatment period. Results: In the hyperuricemia subgroup, compared with the conventional therapy group, the changes in the mean internal carotid artery (ICA)-IMT and max ICA-IMT at 24 months were significantly lower in the sitagliptin group [−0.233 mm, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−0.419 to 0.046), p = 0.015 and −0.325 mm, 95% CI (−0.583 to −0.068), p = 0.014], although there was no significant difference in the common carotid artery CIMT. Conclusion: The results of our analysis indicated that sitagliptin attenuated the progression of CIMT than conventional therapy in T2DM and hyperuricemia patients.

BACKGROUND :Ischemic stroke is the most common stroke comprising 70-80% of all cases. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is associated with the occurrence of stroke in older age and adults. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus tend to develop a thickening of intima-media carotid artery. Simvastatins inhibit further atherothrombotic process. OBJECTIVE : To analyze the effect of simvastatin for CIMT in ischemic stroke patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHOD : This study was a Randomized Pretest-Posttest Design and conducted at the Hospital Inpatient Ward Dr. Kariadi and Ketileng Semarang from January to December 2014 for all first ischemic stroke patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Subjects were divided into groups of 26 controls and 28 patients treated groups. Treatment group were given simvastatin 20 mg each daily for 24 weeks in 28 subjects with a history of acute ischemic stroke and type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Examine the CIMT at the 1st week and 24th week. The normality of the data were tested using Shapiro Wilk and the differences analyzed by using Paired t-test and independent t test. RESULT : There was a significant differences between delta carotid intima-media thickness on administration of simvastatin for ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0,008). CONCLUSION : Simvastatin significantly decreases CIMT on ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Keyword : simvastatin, ischemic stroke, carotid intima-media thickness, type 2 diabetes mellitus   LATAR BELAKANG :Stroke iskemik memiliki angka insidensi terbanyak yaitu 70-80% kasus stroke. Ketebalan Intima-media karotis berhubungan dengan terjadinyastroke pada usia tua.Pasien dengan Diabetes mellitus tipe 2 memiliki kemungkinan yang lebih besar mengalami penebalan intima-media carotis. Simvatatin menghambat proses aterotrombosis. TUJUAN :Untuk menganalisis pengaruh simvastatin terhadap ketebalan intima-media karotis pada pasien stroke iskemik dengan diabetes mellitus tipe 2. METODE :Penelitian ini adalah dengan Randomized Pretest-Posttest Design dan telah dilakukan di Rawat Jalan RSUP dr. Kariadi dan poli saraf rawat jalan RSUD Kota Semarang mulai Januari sampai dengan Desember 2014 untuk semua pasien stroke iskemik pertama kali dengan diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Subjek dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol 26 pasien dan kelompok perlakuan 28 pasien. Kelompok perlakuan diberi simvastatin 20 mg sehari selama 24 minggu pada 28 subjek stroke iskemik dengan  diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Pemeriksaan ketebalan intima-media karotis dilakukan pada minggu ke-1 dan minggu ke-24. Data kemudian di uji normalitasnya menggunakan Saphiro wilk, lalu di analisis menggunakan uji beda paired t testdan independent t test. HASIL :  Kelompok perlakuan didapatkan penurunan ketebalan tunika intima arteri karotis (0,395 + 0,46; p=0,514), KESIMPULAN : Pemberian simvastatin menurunkan ketebalan intima-media karotis secara bermakna pada pasien stroke iskemik dengan diabetes mellitus tipe 2.
