Filter by:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a syndrome of metabolic dysregulation that needs a multifactorial behavioral and pharmacological treatments to prevent or delay complications, morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can be negatively affecting the patient's physical and psychological status and thus lower the patient's quality of life (QoL) (Verma & Dadarwal, 2017)(Vanstone et al., 2015)(Gebremedhin et al., 2019). According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), when hyperglycaemia remain uncontrolled (HbA1c ≥1.5% above the glycemic target), a second therapy for T2DM is needed (Davies et al., 2022). It has been certained by ADA, beside the glucose lowering effect the add-on antidibetic medication should have an impact on weight management to achieve and maintain the optimum glycemic and weight control which are the goals in people without established cardiorenal risks (Vijan et al., 2014((Inzucchi et al., 2012). Although metformin still the first-line pharmacotherapy in most T2DM patients, according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) (Association, 2020) but has little or even weight neutral effect, as well as gliptins (Hermansen & Mortensen, 2007)(Sazan et al., 2012). Other old antidibetic classes such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and sulfonylureas (SUs) inspite of their efficacy in controlling glycemia but their use is associated with weight gain and other adverse effects (Derosa & Maffioli, 2010)(Najim et al., 2014)(Fonseca, 2003). However, The newest class of antidibetic drugs, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), are approved for the treatment of T2DM as add-on or even initial therapy (Tamez-Pérez et al., 2013). This class is act by inducing glycosuria and thus improving glycemic status without affecting insulin level (Merovci et al., 2015). Dapagliflozin is a highly selective inhibitor of SGLT2. It has been well tolerated and its safety and efficacy approved in the clinical trials, mostly on cardio-renal outcomes with additional benefits of weight loss and low risk of hypoglycemia (Heerspink et al., 2020)(Solomon et al., 2022)(Wiviott et al., 2019)(McMurray et al., 2019). To date, no clinical data regarding SGLT2i recorded in Iraqi patients with limited data available on Arabic population. On Qatari, assessment of Dapagliflozin effectiveness revealed a significant improvement in the glycemic status after 6 months when used in combination with standard therapy, a reduction (Al AdAwi et al., 2019). In Saudi Arabia, Dapagliflozin was found to be well-tolerated and effective treatment option for T2DM patients after 6 months (Alguwaihes, 2021).
Background: Diabetes, and especially diabetic kidney disease is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease such as calcification in the coronary arteries and heart failure. Sleep apnea is frequent among patients with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease and sleep apnea itself is a solitary risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Nonetheless, sleep apnea is underdiagnosed in diabetes patients because of a discrepancy between sleep apnea severity and actual oxygen deficiency symptoms which makes the diagnosis difficult. For that reason, many diabetics have undiagnosed sleep apnea together with cardiovascular disease. Early discovery of sleep apnea among high risk diabetic patients may therefore be considered crucial before cardiovascular complications develop. For this reason, sleep apnea screening of high-risk diabetics can possibly improve early diagnostics of cardiovascular disease. Aim: This study will seek to establish the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coronary calcification and heart failure in patients with diabetic kidney disease. The basic hypothesis of the study is that patients with diabetic kidney disease and concurrent OSA have a higher prevalence and severity of coronary calcification and heart failure compared to patients without OSA. Methods: Diabetic adult patients with scheduled check-ups at Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, or Department of Renal Medicine on Aarhus University Hospital will be included in the study. Firstly, all included patients are screened for sleep apnea with the devices SomnoTouch® and ApneaLink®. Based on the sleep apnea determination; 40 patients with moderate-severe sleep apnea are compared with 40 patients without sleep apnea. In both groups, the patients are examined for calcification in the coronary vessels using a CT-scan while the function of the heart is examined by ultrasound (echocardiography). The stiffness of aorta is measured and performed using radial artery tonometry (SphygmoCor®). Furthermore, range of blood- and urine samples will be performed The perspectives are that patients with diabetes should be regularly evaluated for sleep apnea and that patients with moderate/severe sleep apnea should undergo further examination for cardiovascular disease even though the patients don't display any symptoms of either cardiovascular disease or sleep apnea.
To investigate the correlation between the mean glucose concentration measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and the estimated mean blood glucose from glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in persons with type 2 diabetes and on chronic haemodialysis. Furthermore, the aim is to compare CGM and HbA1c with glycated albumin and fructosamine.
