Pattern of brain metabolite ratios among diabetics: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Type 2 DM is characterized by insulin resistance, which may be combined with relatively reduced insulin secretion. In early stages of type 2, the predominant abnormality reduced insulin sensitivity. At this stage, hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures and medications that improve insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose production by the liver. All the patients of age group above 30 years, based on blood sugar level (available or no) underwent single voxel H-MRS 1.5Tesla and the scans was reviewed in the department of radio-diagnosis. In this study 30.00% of the patients were aged between 61 to 70 years. The mean age was 57.93 ± 12.82 Year and median age was 57 years with 32 being minimum and 83 being maximum. In this study majority of the patients (97.50%) had raised fasting blood sugar levels (>125 mg/dL).
