A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials of vitamin D supplementation in diabetic nephropathy
ConclusionThis study showed that vitamin D played an active role in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and can be used in future clinical applications. However, there are still some studies of low quality in the included studies, so it is suggested that clinical and scientific researchers carry out more high-quality, large sample, multi-center randomized controlled trials (RCTS) to provide more evidence-based medical evidence for future studies on vitamin D treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Serum glucose, a cost-effective alternate of plasma glucose in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes mellitus
ConclusionThe diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of S-Glucose equals those of P-Glucose when compared to the WHO B-HbA1c criteria. In comparison, S-Glucose instead of P-Glucose saves costs, optimizes the use of the patient sample, and improves the logistics of samples and reagents.

Utilization of statins in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: the practice in a lower middle income South Asian country
ConclusionsThere were 163 (34.61%) patients who required high intensity. Though only 3 (1.73%) were on high-strength statin, the rest were on moderate (152, 93.25%), low (4, 2.45%), and none (4, 2.45%). Among patients with prior history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and the high-risk category according to the 10-year ASCVD risk estimation (155, 32.91%), only 17 (10.97%) have achieved optimal LDL therapeutic targets (55mg/dL). A large proportion of the study population received statin therapy for primary and secondary prophylaxis. However, the majority were on suboptimal doses of statin and have not achi...

Value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy
ConclusionThe results of our study have shown that there was a significant correlation between NLR and PDN, implying that inflammation and endothelial dysfunction could be an integral part of PDN. NLR was significantly and independently raised in patients with T2DM. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)
