Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major health care problem not only in the developed countries but also in the developing countries such as India. Amongst the various ethnic groups Asian Indians seem to be particularly at a great risk of developing diabetes.Non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus( NIDDM) is a serious, progressive condition associated with number of chronic complications that are mainly a consequence of macro vascular and micro vascular damage.The present study was conducted to evaluate pulmonary function in Non Insulin dependent diabetic patients by spirometry. This study was conducted in the physiology department. 40 apparently healthy type 2 diabetic patients with a mean age of 47.85 1.75 years (mean SEM), range 5-7 years with duration of disease range 45-50 years, were selected and 80 were excluded. Controls were selected in a similar manner to that of the diabetics.60 interviewed, 40 apparently healthy control subjects were selected with a mean age of 46.95 1.95 years (mean SEM), range 45-50 years. Spirometry was performed on an electronic spirometer (Schiller).Pulmonary parameters Force Vital Capacity (FVC), Force Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1),Force Expiratory Ratio (FEV1/FVC), Force Expiratory Flow (FEF25-75% ) and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) were noted. Statistical analysis was conducted using a student t-test for independent group (two-tailed), on initially all matched pairs of subjects.It was observed that in Type 2 Diabetic patients had statistically significant reductions in FVC, FEV1and PEFR .Study shows type 2 diabetes mellitus adversely affect the pulmonary function.
