A Cross Sectional Study on Impact of Diabetes Mellitus on Lung function Parameters

Chronic hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2 DM) is associated with ongoing damage, dysfunction, and failure of many organs, particularly the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, lungs, blood vessels diabetic patients may have considerable reductions lung functioning. Mellitus, Peak Expiratory Flow, Fasting Blood Sugar are some terms used this study. One hundred T2 DM patients, ranging age from 30-70 years old either gender, were submitted to spirometry, vital parameters recorded, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) fasting sugar (FBS) evaluated, healthy controls a matched. Diabetics forced capacity (FVC) ranged 1.51 4 (Liters) mean 2.4 ±0.6SD, whereas controls' FVC 2.2 4.74 3.14 ±0.7SD significant P value. (P<0.001) diabetics peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) 188 459 (liters per minute) 288 ±70SD, PEFR 243 571 373±74 P-value. When compared male diabetics, female was 239 ±38SD Spirometric found be insignificant when (P <0.001). In both sexes, HbA1c FBS shown extremely controls. Variable function impaired but had normal PEFR.
