Hierarchical clustering is a multivariate tool often used in phylogenetics, comparative genomics to relate the evolution of species. The patterns seen in microarray expression data can be interpreted as indications of the status of the genes responsible for nephropathy in peripheral blow cells of type 2 diabetes (T2DN).

Half of the interviewed population had some awareness about diabetes and its symptoms. But more than half (75%) of them were not aware of the long term effects of diabetes and diabetic care. The common perception about diet in diabetes was to avoid sweets, rice and fruits and to consume more ragi, millet and wheat chapattis. Diabetes in young adults is common. Relevant knowledge about diabetes is poor in rural population. Hence community level awareness programs have to be organized. Healthcare providers must be aware of community perceptions and practices.

The syndrome encompasses a localized cellulitis with variable swelling and ulceration of the hands to progressive, fulminant hand sepsis, potentially fatal. Since this syndrome is less recognized it is often under-reported. Authors present two cases of TDHS and emphasize on aggressive glycemic control and surgical therapy to prevent potential crippling or fatal complications.

The theme is that time is running out for Africa and that, as was for HIV/AIDS, by the time the governments wake up and stop denying the catastrophic potential of the epidemic, diabetes will simply overwhelm the continent's resources, and the world will witness the death of millions of Africans. The last section is a call for action against diabetes in terms of advocacy, promotion of awareness, and public health policies that empower people to diabetes self-management.

Among different sensibility measures of neuropathy, two-point discrimination (TPD) has been suggested as a reliable method; however, the correlation of TPD with other well-known measures is not known. We measured the loss of protective sensation using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments (SWMF), hardness of the foot sole using shore meter (sh), power ratio (PR) using pedopowergraph and TPD using esthesiometer in foot areas of both left and right legs in 14 DM subjects. We have found no correlation either between TPD and shore values (sh) or between TPD and PR. The SW...

However, to be effective, oral agents must include a secretogogue i.e. glimeperide in addition to a sensitizer i.e. metformin and not multiple sensitizers without a secretogogue. Moreover, this regimen apparently is also the most preferred by the patients, and is cost effective.

However, patients did not have adequate awareness of diabetic foot problems and were unaware of complications. Physicians were not examining the feet of their patients and hence were failing to detect foot-related problems.

There is no reduction in the number of hypoglycemic events when compared with conventional therapy without pioglitazone. There is a significant cost benefit when pioglitazone is added to other OHAs in this study.

Modern lifestyle has generated several disorders. Sleep deprivation is known to cause glucose intolerance and snoring. Snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness are prominent symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Obesity is closely linked to OSA and diabetes. OSA itself can lead to diabetes. Although OSA is common in obese subjects, it is also observed in normal and low body weight subjects. Interesting close relationship exists between sleep, OSA, obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Polysomnography is the gold standard for diagnosis of OSA. Treatment of OSA by continuous positive airway pressure is rewarding. It is time that we closely a...

As a result, type 2 DM is for the first time being seen frequently in children and young adults in many populations. An increase in the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has also been well documented in Australia and the United States, and there are some data suggesting the same trend in India. However, universal screening for GDM is not practiced in many areas of the world, making it difficult to estimate its true prevalence. The increase in type 2 DM in youth has implications beyond the burgeoning number of persons affected. First, the younger the pati...

Should we be looking at insulin levels? Accumulation of insulin or hyperinsulinemia is largely an attempt by the body to overcome the state of reduced insulin sensitivity in the tissues involved in glucose homeostasis. Though glucose homeostasis may be achieved by pharmacological measures, it does not seem to translate into significant CVD event reduction unless there is concomitant reduction in the raised insulin levels due to insulin resistance (IR). Does IR affect all aspects of insulin action or does it differentially affect the downstream signal pathways&...

The enhanced lipid peroxidation leads to an increase in free-radical activity in type 2 diabetics. This increase in free-radical activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus along with insulin resistance can lead to activation of stress-sensitive pathways, which may play an important role in the complications of diabetes.

We recommend an efficient cost-saving strategy of HBG testing with visual strips alone in patients not receiving insulin, only in the presence of symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, and at the onset of acute illness.

Among the armamentanium of drugs available to control glycemia, insulin is the most efficacious. However, currently available human insulin cannot mimic the normal physiological insulin secretion. Hypoglycemia and weight gain are the major constraints with intensive glycemic control to achieve the target HbA[1]c level. These limitations have led to the inventions of insulin analogues or 'designer' insulin...

ADDQoL findings in the UK indicated that approaches to diabetes management were needed that allowed for dietary freedom. Use of the ADDQoL in the subsequent DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) trial showed significant benefits to quality of life from training in insulin dose adjustment to provide for dietary freedom without loss of diabetes control. ADDQoL findings from research in India have helped highlight the negative impact of diabetes on various life domains o...
