Diabetes mellitus in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: These findings suggest a complex interrelation among traditional host factors and treatment-related metabolic changes in the pathogenesis of DM inpatients receiving ART. Notably, pre-ART weight, particularly if >70 kg, is associated with the diagnosis of diabetes in HIV-infected patients in Botswana.

“…This could be due to the fact that, initiation of ART is associated with rapid weight gain which correlates with increased insulin resistance [27,28]. The higher level of HIV patients from Bamenda compared to patients from Bafoussam is related to the higher prevalence of HIV in this region which has the second higher prevalence of HIV infection after the South region in Cameroon [29].…”

“…During early HIV recovery in malnourished patients, rapid regain of fat rather than lean mass may occur [13], and could potentially increase the risk of diabetes. Although HIV and ART may have similar effects on diabetes in SSA as in high-income countries, such data cannot be directly extrapolated to SSA because of differing risk factors such as a lower prevalence of obesity, history of nutritional deficiencies, higher exposure to infections, and use of older antiretroviral drugs which have been associated with excess diabetes risk [14][15][16][17]. We therefore conducted a study to investigate the prevalence of diabetes and to assess the roles of HIV infection, ART and traditional risk factors.…”
