Abstract:
Studying 338 new onset diabetic patients for 2 years, aged 30 to 69 years, were treated at Bach Mai Hospital from February to December 2004. All the patients have clinical examination and blood urine laboratory tests as well as vascular investigations. Results showed that characteristics of new onset type 2 diabetic patients as follow: BMI index is in normal range (22.92 2.66), however the waist/hip index is high (0.89 0.069). 22.6% of patients with type 2 diabetic are hypertensive. All the patients had indices above normal levels such as the fasting glycemia, after meal glycemia, HbA1c, serum cholesterol and triglyceride. Although 100% of patients had the normal results of peripheral vascular clinical examination, the vascular Doppler sonography showed a marked decrease of FMD and a significant greater thickness of carotid artery intimamedia
