Abstract:
Background:This study aimed to determine the differences in glycemic control, metabolic parameters (blood pressure
control, triglycerides, LDL, HDL) and the presence of nephropathy and/or retinopathy between obese and overweight
versus normal body mass index (BMI) type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM).
Methodology:This is an analytic cross-sectional study of T2DM patients from outpatient clinics at St. Luke’s Medical Center, Quezon City. Available medical records and laboratory tests were reviewed. Data were analyzed and compared between those overweight and obese versus those with normal BMI based on Asia Pacific Guidelines.
Results:A total of 248 patients with T2DM were included in the study. More patients who are obese and overweight have uncontrolled diabetes (p = 0.011), low HDL (p = 0.037) and nephropathy (p = 0.027) compared to those with normal BMI. There were no significant difference between overweight and obese patients versus those with normal BMI with regards to BP control, high LDL, high triglycerides and retinopathy.
Conclusion:T2DM patients who are obese and overweight have a significantly higher prevalence of uncontrolled diabetes, low HDL and nephropathy compared to those with normal BMI. - Full text:20240627121738719975 2023-234 OK.pdf
