Nutritional profile of fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes and primary forms of diabetes seen in southern India.

چکیده
Plasma levels of retinol binding protein (RBP), prealbumin, total protein, albumin, transferrin and ferritin were estimated in three groups of diabetic patients seen at a diabetes centre in S. India. The groups consisted of patients with fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD), non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Mean RBP levels were lower in FCPD and IDDM patients compared to controls but this did not reach statistical significance. Prealbumin levels were normal in FCPD patients, but low in IDDM compared to controls (P less than 0.005) and NIDDM (P less than 0.05). FCPD patients had lower transferrin levels compared to controls (P less than 0.05). There were no differences in the levels of total protein, albumin and ferritin in any of the study groups. The study shows that biochemical evidence of undernutrition is seen in FCPD and IDDM patients while NIDDM patients are not significantly different from non-diabetic control subjects.
