AI Article Synopsis
- Chronic diabetes occurs when insulin release is inadequate or ineffective, leading to increased complications like anemia, which reduces hemoglobin levels and oxygen transport, ultimately affecting quality of life and healthcare costs.
- A study involving 2000 participants aimed to analyze the prevalence of anemia in type 2 diabetics, highlighting its connection to the disease and predictive value.
- Results showed significant differences in hemoglobin levels among those taking different diabetes medications, suggesting that anemia in type 2 diabetics is linked to higher risks of complications like coronary artery disease (CAD) and worsens overall health outcomes.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Chronic diabetes develops when the pancreas does not release enough insulin or the body cannot use it. Anemia is a disorder characterized by reduced hemoglobin or red blood cells. The body needs hemoglobin to transport oxygen. Diabetics with anemia may have micro and macro vascular problems, lowering quality of life and increasing medical costs.
Aim And Objectives: To examine the prevalence of anemia among type 2 diabetics, its predictive value, and the connection between anemia and type 2 diabetes.
Methodology: A prospective study was conducted on 2000 people with and without type 2 diabetes at the medical and diabetology wards of Punjab's Desh Bhagat University and hospital for medicine and health sciences from June 2022 to June 2023.
Results: A statistical significance threshold of 0.005 determined that the mean hemoglobin value was 8.44 in oral hypoglycemics, 7.93 in insulin, and 4.45 in combined insulin and oral hypoglycaemics.
Conclusion: Diabetics with type 2 diabetes mellitus and anemia were more likely to have CAD, making anemia a chronic condition that negatively impacts quality of life and accelerates disease consequences.
