Effect of Drugs and Combination of Diets with Exercise on Biochemical Parameters in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Barishal, Bangladesh: A Follow up Study

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with an increased rate of glucose which can be reduced by diets, drugs, lifestyle changes and physical activity. The present study aimed to investigate the comparison of the effectiveness of drugs and combination of diets with exercise on biochemical parameters of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients. A follow up study of 150 diabetes patient’s biochemical test >30 years of age were conducted in two phages before and after three months from Diabetes Hospital, Barishal. The investigator categorized two groups of diabetes patients where intervention of diets with exercise was given to 75 respondents and on the other hand 75 respondents by drugs to find out which intervention was more effective. This study found the incidence of reduced blood glucose from 50% to 13.33% by diets with exercise and 50% to 10.67% by drugs during fasting after three months of intervention. After 2 hours eating, blood glucose reduced to 14% and 18% respectively. Analyst established diets with exercise and drugs both had a great effect on fasting glucose, after two hours glucose and serum creatinine which was statistically significant between two phages of same respondents (P<.05). Drugs over fasting glucose, after 2 hours glucose and serum creatinine were statistically significant. Diets with exercise over fasting glucose, after 2 hours glucose, LDL and serum creatinine were also highly significant. Combination of diets and physical activity targeting this factor has proven to be superior to conventional drug use for reducing blood glucose of diabetic patients.
