This study aimed to characterize the prevalence and demo-graphic profile of dyslipidemia in T2D in the rural community of Ganadougou, Mali. We performed a cross-sectional study of 104 subjects with T2D in Ganadougou between November 2021 and March 2022. Demographic and lipid profiles were collected through cross-sectional surveys and serological analyses. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in T2D patients was 87.5% (91/104), which did not differ by sex (<i>P</i> = .368). High low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was the most common lipid abnormality (78.9%, [82/104]). Dyslipidemia was associated with age and hypertension status (<i>P</i> = .013 and.036, respectively). High total and high LDL-C parameters were significantly associated with hypertension (<i>P</i> = .029 and .006, respectively). In low-resource settings such as rural Mali, there is a critical need to improve infrastructure for routine dyslipidemia screening to guide its prevention and intervention approaches.

The severity of atherosclerosis was assessed by calculating the Gensini Score index after coronary angiography. Absolute numbers and frequencies of CD4+CD25hiFoxP3+ and CD4+CD25loFoxP3+ T-lymphocytes were assessed in peripheral blood by flow cytometry. Imaging flow cytometry was used to determine the degree of FoxP3 translocation to the cell’s nucleus. Concentration of cytokines in blood serum and supernatants of mononuclear leukocytes’ cultures was determined by the multiplex analysis.RESULTS: We recruited 57 patients with chronic CAD. Of these, T2DM was diagnosed in 22 patients. In patients with CAD and T2DM, the absolute numbers and frequencies of FoxP3+CD25lo cells were increased compared to patients with CAD without diabetes (1.15 (0.98; 1.73) vs. 0.96 (0.60; 1.15)% (р=0.046); 1.48 (1.05; 1.97) vs. 1.07 (0.71; 1.42) x107/L (р=0.025)). Patients with T2DM also had a higher level of translocation of FoxP3 to the nucleus of FoxP3+CD25lo cells (92.0 (86.4; 95.0) vs. 88.7 (80.0; 91.4)%, р=0.040) and increased concentration of the chemokine CCL22 both in blood serum (912 (828; 1061) vs. 669 (585; 738) pg/mL, р=0.022) and supernatants of LPS-stimulated mononuclear leukocyte cultures (1189 (851; 1310) vs. 539 (437; 949) pg/mL, р=0.038), which correlated with the presence of CD4+CD25hiFoxP3+ cells (Rs=0.587; p=0.044) and the triglyceride/glucose index (Rs=0.587; p=0.044).

Its uniqueness lies in the simultaneous combination of autoantibodies to β-cells (characteristic of T1DM) and the possibility of treatment with oral hypoglycemic drugs (characteristic of T2DM) for at least 6 months. This is based on the pathogenesis common for T1DM and T2DM — the presence of an autoimmune reaction with the simultaneous involvement of adaptive and innate immunity, as well as, to a lesser extent, insulin resistance and a number of components of the metabolic syndrome. LADA has more in common with T1DM — the same stages in the development of the disease, from genetic predisposition to the undoubted development of insulin dependence, the difference lies in the duration of each of the periods and the age of manifestation. LADA is characterized by an older age of manifestation of 30–35 years and a slower rate of destruction of β-cells.

Desynchronosis of circadian rhythms of glycemia can be triggered both by external factors (exposure to excessive artificial lighting in the evening, violation of the diet, «sleep-wake»), and internal — from the individual organization of circadian rhythms (chronotype). In this connection, there is an interest in the most detailed study of the influence of individual characteristics of the organization of circadian rhythms on the risk of developing T2DM. AIM: To characterize the individual organization of circadian rhythms in persons without carbohydrate metabolism disorders, with prediabetes and T2DM with obesity and BMI = 30.0–34.9 kg/m2.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Тhe Horn-Ostberg questionnaires were analyzed retrospectively in individuals with visceral obesity without carbohydrate metabolism disorders (n=40), with prediabetes (n=40) and T2DM (n=40). The results of the Horn-Ostberg test were compared with anamnestic anthropometric, laboratory parameters, nutrition diaries, daily rhythms of integral physiological indicators of carbohydrate and energy metabolism.RESULTS: All study participants (n=120) were identical age 56,7 [52,2; 58,6] years, BMI 31.3 [30.7; 33.9] kg/m2, waist circumference (OW) in women 96.54 ± 1.35 cm in men 98.75 ± 2.61 cm Sex distribution: 73% women and 27% men. Persons with morning chronotype made up 24% (29 people), intermediate 63% (75 people) and evening 13% (16 people) . In the groups, the late time for the first breakfast was noted (without carbohydrate metabolism disorders 9:45h, prediabetes 9:31 and T2DM 10:00h), and 20% of the participants missed it (p<0.05). A larger amount of daily energy value was shifted to the afternoon (p<0.05). Late bedtime was observed in all groups: without carbohydrate metabolism disorders 22.50–00.29h, with prediabetes 22.30–00.29h and T2DM 22.45–00.29h with an increase in sleep duration in the prediabetes group (08.14h, 09.00h and 08.38h, respectively).

Except for insulin therapy sulfonylurea may be used in moderate COVID-19. The use of original gliclazide MR has advantages due to low risk of hypoglycemia and established cardio- and nephroprotective effects. But it is not clear whether the choice of antidiabetic drugs during hospitalization may affect patient’s condition in post-COVID period.AIM:. To assess the 12-month dynamics of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with T2DM after hospitalization for COVID-19 considering the character of hypoglycemic therapy in the hospital and the use of gliclazide MRMATERIALS AND METHODS: A 12-month prospective study was performed; T2DM patients were observed after hospitalization for COVID-19. They received in hospital: 1) original gliclazide MR (Diabeton MR, n=20) and 2) insulin (control group, n=20). Changes in antidiabetic therapy, glycemic control and biochemical tests were assessed at baseline and after 3, 6, 12 months. RESULTS: In the main and control groups the intensification of T2DM therapy was observed: the proportion of patients without hypoglycemic drugs decreased within a year by 3.0 (p = 0.001) and 2.8 (p =0.010) times respectively. Mean HbA1c values,the dynamics of inflammation markers and transaminases in both groups were similar (p>0.05 at all visits). Blood creatinine was at baseline 82.9±18.67 and 120.9±45.52 µmol/l (p=0.010), after 3 months — 88.0±18.77 and 104, 5±17.99 µmol/l (p=0.024), after 6 months — 89.3±12.17 and 97.5±9.03 µmol/l (p=0.072), after 12 months — 86.7±10.50 and 93.9±16.76 µmol/l (p=0.16). According to the data obtained during «3 months» visit, the dose of original gliclazide MR was directly correlated with the improvement in renal function in terms of glomerular filtration rateGFR (R=0,59, р=0,010). In addition, there was a close-to-significance correlation between continued gliclazide MR at visit 3 and improvement in GFR at visit 6 (R=0.31, p=0.076).CONCLUSION: The post-hospital period in patients with COVID-19 and T2DM was characterized by a tendency to hyperglycemia and increased need for hypoglycemic therapy. The use of original gliclazide MR by in patients with moderate COVID-19 and T2DM is appropriate and safe in terms of clinical and metabolic parameters dynamics during long-term post-hospital follow-up. When original gliclazide MR is continued during the post-hospital period its nephroprotective properties may contribute to the process of renal functions normalization which should be confirmed by further research.","PeriodicalId":73708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of diabetes mellitus","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83003944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
