Introduction and Objectives: Diabetes Mellitus is complex metabolic disorder and have appeared as gigantic public health problem worldwide. The prevalence of specifically type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing in adult population due to sedentary lifestyle and more junk food consumption leading to obesity. This further is linked with decreased insulin sensitivity of the tissues and insulin resistance which is major indicator of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Lifestyle modifications are considered as one of the important cornerstone in management of diabetes mellitus. Therefore present study has been undertaken to assess, in a randomized manner, the impact of life style modification in form of structured exercise therapy on anthropometric and biochemical parameters in young adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: Total of 148 patients of age group 20-45 years with newly diagnosed T2DM were enrolled in the study as per eligibility criteria. The patients were divided randomly into two groups as Diabetic controls and interventional group. Socio-demographic, Anthropometric and Biochemical parameters were evaluated at baseline and at the end of six months for the study groups. Whereas the impact of lifestyle modification is studied at different time intervals, .i.e at baseline and at the end of 2nd, 4th and 6th months were studied. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. IBM SPSS version 22 was used for statistical analysis. Results: There was significant improvement found in majority of anthropometric and biochemical parameters in intervention group at the end of six months of structured exercise therapy.

IMPORTANCE Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Clinicians may find estimates of the projected long-term benefits of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors a helpful addition to clinical trial results when communicating the benefits of this class of drug to patients. OBJECTIVE To estimate the projected long-term treatment effects of dapagliflozin in patients with HFrEF over the duration of a patient's lifetime.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Exploratory analysis was performed of Dapagliflozin and Prevention of Adverse Outcomes in Heart Failure (DAPA-HF), a phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted at 410 sites in 20 countries. Patients with an ejection fraction less than or equal to 40% in New York Heart Association functional classification II to IV and elevated plasma levels of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide were enrolled between February 15, 2017, and August 17, 2018, with final follow-up on June 6, 2019. Mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 17.6 (5.2) months.INTERVENTIONS Dapagliflozin, 10 mg, once daily vs placebo in addition to standard therapy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESThe primary composite outcome was time to first hospitalization for heart failure, urgent heart failure visit requiring intravenous therapy, or cardiovascular death. The trial results were extrapolated to estimate the projected long-term treatment effects of dapagliflozin over the duration of a patient's lifetime for the primary outcome and the secondary outcome of death from any cause.RESULTS A total of 4744 patients (1109 women [23.4%]; 3635 men [76.6%]) were randomized in DAPA-HF, with a mean (SD) age of 66.3 (10.9) years. The extrapolated mean event-free survival for an individual aged 65 years from a primary composite end point event was 6.2 years for placebo and 8.3 years for dapagliflozin, representing an event-free survival time gain of 2.1 years (95% CI, 0.8-3.3 years; P = .002). When considering death from any cause, mean extrapolated life expectancy for an individual aged 65 years was 9.1 years for placebo and 10.8 years for dapagliflozin, with a gain in survival of 1.7 years (95% CI, 0.1-3.3; P = .03) with dapagliflozin. Similar results were seen when extrapolated across the age range studied. In analyses of subgroups of patients in DAPA-HF, consistent benefits were seen with dapagliflozin on both event-free and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCEThese findings indicate that dapagliflozin provides clinically meaningful gains in extrapolated event-free and overall survival. These findings may be helpful in communicating the benefits of this treatment to patients with HFrEF.TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03036124

Objective: To determine whether the benefits of dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and type 2 diabetes in DAPA-HF varied by background glucose-lowering therapy (GLT). Research design and methods: We examined the effect of study treatment by the use or not of GLT, and by GLT classes and combinations. The primary outcome was a composite of worsening HF (hospitalization or urgent visit requiring intravenous therapy) or cardiovascular death. Results: In the 2139 type 2 diabetes patients, the effect of dapagliflozin on the primary outcome was consistent by GLT use/no use (hazard ratio 0.72 [95%CI 0.58-0.88] versus 0.86 [0.60-1.23]; P-interaction=0.39) and across GLT classes. Conclusions: In DAPA-HF, dapagliflozin improved outcomes irrespective of use/no use of GLT or by GLT type used in patients with type 2 diabetes and HFrEF.
