“…Many studies have shown the association of waist circumference, waist hip ratio and body mass index with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Waist circumference and waist hip ratio have been used as measures of central obesity and body mass index has been used as a measure of general obesity [13]. Recently, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was suggested as a simpler indicator of abdominal obesity that has greater practical advantages than BMI and WC [14].…”

Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous metabolic condition defined by insulin secretion: hyperglycemia deficiency, or impt residues of amino acids. β-Sal promotes reproduction, vascular smooth movement of muscle cells (VSMC), vascular brosis, and development of VSMC foam cells. The present study is aimed to evalution the relation of β-salusin (β-Sal) with some anthropometric measurements (AMs) and other parameter in Iraqi type2 diabetics (T2DM) women. This study included 60 T2DM women, were collected from the area Al-Fallujah and Al-Ramadi in al-Anbar governorate, and collection of 24 healthy women as a control, patients and healthy were have the same age. The period was from August 2019 to October 2019. Results showed concentration of β-sal is high in the patients withT2DM, itgives an important indication that the immune response in diabetics is high. The analysis also disclosed that the level of β-sal can give an impression on the disease is progressing. In addition to this research, it promotes the use of W / H and W / T to determine the risk of developing T2DM in women as they offer a clear and accurate method of assessment.

“…Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. 1 Type 2 diabetes mellitus is more common than type 1 diabetes mellitus and is associated with comorbid conditions like hypertension, dyslipidemia, depression. 2 Various studies have shown an increased incidence of depression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.…”

Background: Depression is more common in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) than patients without type 2 DM. The objective of this study was to study the effect of escitalopram on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with depression. Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted in Universal College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), Bhairahawa from September 2019 to March 2020. A total of 137 patients visiting internal medicine OPD and diagnosed with type 2 DM were included. The patients were then referred for psychiatric evaluation. Patient Health Questionnaire -9 was used for the assessment of depression by the consultant psychiatrist. A score of ≥5 was considered as depression. Participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 represented type 2 diabetic patients with depression (n=37) and group 2 without depression (n=100). Escitalopram 10mg daily was prescribed for group 1 patients, keeping the management of DM unchanged for all. The fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels were measured at baseline, two weeks, four weeks, and six weeks interval, respectively, using the automated analyzer. Results: After the treatment with escitalopram, there was significant (p<0.05) reduction in fasting and postprandial blood glucose level in subsequent weeks compared to baseline values. The fasting baseline median blood glucose level in group1 patients reduced from the value of 190.0 to 126.5 mg/ dl and postprandial median blood glucose level reduced from baseline value of 295.0 to 201.5 mg/dl at 6 weeks respectively. Conclusions: Treatment with escitalopram showed a favorable glycemic profile in type 2 DM patients with depression.
