Prevalence of lean type 2 diabetes mellitus in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Abstract: Introduction:Obesity has always been thought to be a risk factor for diabetes; however, some studies in India have reported that even lean people are prone to diabetes. We conducted this study to see if this holds true for this part of the country.Objectives:To determine the prevalence of lean type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in recently diagnosed type 2 DM in Manipur.Materials and Methods:All recently diagnosed type 2 DM patients, within a period of 24 weeks, who attended the endocrine clinic of RIMS from Jan to… Show more

“…However, GTT and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp showed glucose intolerance and IR in both sexes with females displaying a more aggressive phenotype when compared to males. Clinical studies have shown the presence of lean diabetes in both males and females 5, 32 with around twice the rate of incidence in females in one cohort 32 . However, large scale multi-centric clinical studies need to be undertaken to validate these findings.…”

“…[3] The regional prevalence of underweight type 2 diabetic varied from 3.5% to 10% across India. [45678] Over the past decades, various epidemiological studies have shown that the pattern and profile of diabetes mellitus in India are different, as well as in certain developing countries of Asia and Africa as compared to the West. [9] While almost 80% of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in India are nonobese, 60%–80% of those in the west are obese.…”

“…In certain regions, particularly in Asian countries, the prevalence of the non-obese variant can constitute 60-80% of the total T2DM burden (Perry et al, 2012). Some studies indicate that these non-obese individuals face a higher risk of cardiovascular events compared to their obese counterparts, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved (Chaudhary et al, 2013). The simplified explanation for the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has traditionally focused on the interplay between beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance.…”
