Abstract
Objective: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most serious and common public health problems and metabolic disorder in both developed and developing countries. Diabetic patient may suffer from ...
Highlights
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is defined by absolute or relative deficiencies in insulin secretion and/or insulin action associated with chronic hyperglycemia and disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism (Abou-Seif & Youssef, 2004)
Our present research aims to identify the status of serum electrolytes and lipid profile with fasting blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic female subjects with age ranging from 20 to 30
Our study demonstrated that type 2 diabetic female subjects have electrolytes imbalance characterized by elevation of sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions accompanied with depletion of potassium ions – compared to control individual
Summary
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is defined by absolute or relative deficiencies in insulin secretion and/or insulin action associated with chronic hyperglycemia and disturbances of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism (Abou-Seif & Youssef, 2004). Racial variations are evident within Asian population with age-specific prevalence of diabetes. In the Chinese population prevalence of diabetes peaks at 79–89 years while in Asian Indian population, diabetes peaks at 60–69 years of age. Indians have a higher prevalence of Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) at a younger age than the Chinese population. In southern India, the prevalence of diabetes has increased from 25% to 36% of the total prevalence from 2000 to 2006 in persons under 44 years (Ramachandran et al, 2008 May). Asian people with young onset of diabetes have significant phenotypic heterogeneity, having positive family history, diminished beta cell function, no islet cell autoantibodies and with numerous cardio metabolic disorders (Ng et al, 2001; Ramachandran, Snehalatha, Satyavani, Sivasankari, & Vijay, 2003). The major source for the increasing prevalence of T2D in Asian young is the growing rate of obesity and reducing rate of physical activity, leading to insulin resistance (Gill, 2007)
