Iron Profile and Glycaemic Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Iron overload is increasingly being connected to insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Free iron causes the assembly of reactive oxygen species that invariably steer the body’s homeostasis towards oxidative stress-mediated diabetic complications. This study aims to assess the serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and percentage transferrin saturation (Tsat) of 150 subjects divided into three groups (I,II,III) of 50. Healthy individuals (controls) constituted Group I. Group I… Show more

“…Our results are in accordance with Kamalam, et al [3], Shetty et al [4], Saha et al [11], Kapoor et al [12] and Misra et al [13] Kamalam et al [3] found a significant increase in serum iron in poor glycemic controls as in comparision with found lower levels of TIBC and UIBC in diabetic patients as compared to the Healthy individuals. Misra et al [13] reported, significant difference between mean serum free iron and TIBC concentration between Group I (Healthy individuals) and Group III (T2DM patients with suboptimal glycemic control) (p < 0.05).…”

“…Our results were consistent with the work done and results found by some other researchers. [16][17][18][19][20] A closer association is there in type 2 DM and iron profile and this is because an alteration in blood glucose metabolism can results in altered iron metabolism and so on.…”

“…Elevated iron stores cause insulin resistance and possibly defective secretion of insulin. Patients with DM and elevated serum iron concentrations have higher glucose levels (Misra, Bhatter, Kumar, Gupta, & Khan, ).…”

“…These participants had a greater intake of total iron and heme iron in the form of meat consumption. Red meat, especially processed meat, concentrations have higher glucose levels (Misra, Bhatter, Kumar, Gupta, & Khan, 2016).…”
