Increased Risk

Prediabetes, i.e. impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular deaths, dementia, and cancer (1-4). According to the recommendations of the Polish Diabetes Association, both pre-diabetes and diabetes are indications for lifestyle modification (5). The joint efforts of many specialists in various fields may slow down this epidemic of the 21st century. The aim of the study is to answer the question “Is it possible to reduce the risk of an epidemic of prediabetes and diabetes in Poland?”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of newly diagnosed prediabetes, diabetes mellitus among the officers from Phuoc Long district of Binh Phuoc province. Subjects and methods: 268 personals communications service was examined the impaired fasting glucose (G0); impaired glucose tolerance (G2) anh HbA1c. Results: Prevalence of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus by G0, G2, HbA1c as follows 16,0%; 13,1%; 17,9% and 3,8%; 6,7%; 2,2%. Common prevalence of prediabetes in 26,9%; type 2 diabetes mellitus in 7,1%. Conclusion: Personal communications service from Phuoc Long district have percentage of prediabetes higher compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus which of prediabetes was diagnosed by HbA1c which takes up the highest percentage; diabetes mellitus was diagnosed by G2which takes up the highest percentage.

Aims. Despite the very clear association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and dysglycemia, few studies have explored the continuum of glycemic alterations leading from minor glucose abnormalities to overt diabetes. The purpose of this review is to trace the natural history of glycemic alteration in women with PCOS. Methods. We performed a literature review without time limit until August 2019. Inclusion criteria were studies addressing the association between impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes (T2D) and PCOS with at least an English abstract. The exclusion criteria were no PCOS or impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose or T2D as outcome. The outcomes of interest were the onset of impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, T2D, and the progression from impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose to T2D. Results. Healthy diet and physical activity are the first-line therapy for PCOS. Treatment with metformin was associated with significant lower 2-hour postload glucose levels and with reduction in fasting glucose when compared to placebo. Thiazolidinediones were more effective in reducing fasting glucose levels compared to placebo. Metformin and pioglitazone treatments showed similar effects on fasting glucose levels. The sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor empagliflozin did not show differences in metabolic parameters when compared to metformin. The combination therapy with metformin plus the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide was associated with significant improvements in basal and postload glucose levels compared with only liraglutide. Likewise, a combination therapy with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor saxagliptin and metformin demonstrated superiority versus metformin in fasting glucose and oral glucose tolerance test normalization. Myo-inositol supplementation was associated with lower insulin levels, glucose levels, and insulin resistance when compared with placebo, metformin, or estrogen treatments. Conclusions. The use of insulin-sensitizing agents, such as metformin and inositols, along with lifestyle interventions may improve the metabolic profile in PCOS women.

Intervention Strategy

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly rising all over the world at an alarming rate. Over the past 30 years, the increase in prevalence is rising exponentially in South Asian region, data suggest a three fold increase (from 2.0 to 7.0%) in the urbanizing population of Bangladesh within 5 years. However, the prevalence of various degrees of glucose intolerance i.e. type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose considered vital for prevention are still unknown in this population. The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with their demographic and anthropometric characteristics in a reasonable large sample compare to other studies conducted in Bangladesh. A random sample of 5000 rural population aged ≥ 20 years was included in this cross sectional study. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) level was measured from 3981 individuals and 2-hr blood glucose (BG) was done on 3954 subjects, excluding known diabetic cases (n= 27). Height, weight, waist and hip circumference including blood pressure and demographic information was also collected. The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and newly detected type 2 diabetes (T2DM) were 1.3%, 2.0% and 7.0% respectively. IFG, IGT, IFG+IGT were more prevalent in females than males. Age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were higher in glucose–intolerant subjects than in normal glucose tolerant (NGT) group. FBG and 2-hr BG values were correlated in NGT and DM subjects. Our data suggest that estimation of FBG value identifies more people with diabetes compared to 2-hr BG estimation. These findings need to be further examined in other settings with urban and rural populations for the justification of FBG for screening of diabetes in Bangladeshi population for development of intervention strategy for the prevention and management of abnormal glucose tolerance. The significance of IFG as a precursor of diabetes and CVD will become evident only from longitudinal studies in different ethnic groups.
