“…Correlation between DR with gender or BMI was not statistically significant. Ahsan et al in their study reported male gender (3.5 times), increased duration of diabetes (≥10 years, 5.46 times) and poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥7%, 1.39 times) as significant factors for developing retinopathy 12. Agroivi et al documented significant positive correlation of severity of DR with smoking, duration of DM, serum LDL-C and TG, whereas, strong inverse correlation was found with serum HDL-C 8.…”

“…By contrast, the Singapore Malay Eye Study recently reported that higher BMI and higher serum TC and LDL-C levels were associated with a lower prevalence of DR 19. However, various other studies showed significantly deranged lipid profile in patients with DR as compared to healthy controls or patients without DR. Ahsan et al in their study on Pakistani population reported that patients with sight threatening DR had significantly higher serum cholesterol levels as compared to patients with no DR 12. Rahman et al found that TG was significantly higher and HDL-C was significantly lower in patients with NPDR as compared to patients without DR 6.…”

“…Reported prevalence of DM in Pakistani population varies between 15% – 56.9% 4,12,14-16. DR is a major complication of DM, with sight-threatening disease present in approximately 10% of persons with diabetes 17.…”

“…Cetin et al in their study did not found significant association of serum lipid levels with the severity of DR 9. Ahsan et al in their work on Pakistani population found significantly elevated serum cholesterol and serum creatinine levels in type II diabetic patients with sight threatening DR as compared to patients with no DR 12. Due to the variation in results from international studies and scarcity of data from local literature, this study was conducted to explore this intriguing relationship between serum lipids and DR in our population.…”

Objective:To compare serum cholesterol, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations between type-2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with retinopathy and without retinopathy and to study association between various modifiable risk factors of Diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods:The study included 300 patients with type 2 DM; 140 of them were without DR (Group-I) and 160 were with DR (Group-II). Serum total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG levels were determined. SPSS 17.0 for windows was used for statistical analysisResults:Overall, mean age of study population was 48.86 ± 5.62 years. Subjects with DR were older (P < 0.018), had higher fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.01) and higher HbA1c (P <0.01) concentrations compared with those without DR. Analysis of serum cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG among subgroups of patients with no DR, with NPDR and PDR showed statistically significant difference (p <0.01). There was strong positive correlation of severity of DR with BSF, HbA1c, serum LDL-C, total cholesterol and TG.Conclusion:The serum cholesterol, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations were found to be significantly deranged in patients with DR as compared to those without DR.

“…Blood pressure of the participants was monitored by mercury sphygmomanometer in a sitting position by using the standard method. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mm Hg . Glycaemic control was assessed by measuring glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by high‐performance liquid chromatography method on a Bio‐Rad D‐10.…”

To compare the outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in terms of healing and lower extremity amputation (LEA) rate before and after training of multidisciplinary foot care team (MDFCT). Subjects were categorised into two groups; Group‐A cases seen between 1997 and 2006 (before upgrading of training and services of MDFCT) and Group‐B cases seen between 2007 and 2016 (after upgrading of training and services of MDFCT). Baseline demographic characteristics, biochemical results, and outcomes of DFU in terms of healing or amputation were analysed by using statistical package social science (SPSS) version 20. Total 7994 DFU cases seen, 888 in group A and 7106 in group B. Mean age of patients was 53.80 ± 10.40 years and mean haemoglobin (HbA1c) was 10.12 ± 2.44. Overall, decreasing trends of amputations were observed from baseline 27.5% to 3.92% during the period of 20 years. In group A, 479 (78.8%) subjects healed completely compared with 3806 (89.1%) in group B. Significant reduction in toe amputations ([13.81%] vs [8.11%]) and below knee amputations [(5.26%) vs (1.82%)] were seen. Similarly, rates of above knee amputation ([1.80%] vs [0.35%] P‐value 0.008) in two groups was also significant. Significant improvement was observed in outcomes of DFU in terms of amputation through multidisciplinary team approach.
