| description | Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a diverse group of metabolic conditions marked by elevated blood sugar levels, with type 2 DM specifically involving insulin resistance where cells fail to respond effectively to insulin. The objective of the study was to evaluate gender differences among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients based on body mass index (BMI), clinical presentation and glycemic parameters.
Methodology: This prospective, cross-sectional, study comprised 100 newly diagnosed T2DM patients attending Department of General Medicine. The patients were included in the study after obtaining institutional ethics approval and informed consent as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patient demographics and glycemic parameters like fasting blood sugars, post-prandial blood sugars, HBA1c, C-peptide, and fasting insulin were obtained and analyzed.
Results: Among 100 T2DM patients, 25 were female and 75 were male patients. More T2DM female patients were in age range of 41-50 years followed by 51-60, and this was comparable with age ranges of male patients. Burning sensation in legs was comparable between the gender. Majority of female patients had BMI more 30 kg/m2 and majority of male had normal BMI. The glycemic parameter was comparable between both genders.
Conclusion: This study results demonstrated the gender differences among the T2DM patients which was significant with BMI and, among other parameter comparable which may require large sample size to confirm the differences. |
