Abstract
Diabetes, a common non‐communicable disease of public health concern is on rise in global disease burden. It caused 4.6 million deaths in 2011. Diabetes is considered as a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies (genetic and environmental). It is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency (defect in either insulin secretion or insulin action or both). This results in disturbances of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Evaluations of pulmonary manifestations in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata. The present study was a Prospective observational study. This study was conducted from 1st March 2020 to 28th February 2021 at Vivekananda Institute of Medical Science (VIMS), Sarat Bose Road Kolkata 700026. Total 80 patients were included in this study. Among preobese type 2 diabetes patients 33.3 and 10.3% had restrictive type and obstructive type PFT respectively, which were 46.7 and 33.3% respectively in obese group. Smoking is significantly associated with type 2 diabetes patients with obstructive type (81.1%) PFT (p = 0.008) than restrictive (43.3%) one. With increasing BMI, FEV1 (percent of predicted) significantly decreases (Mean±SD in obese and pre‐obese group were 68.7±11.6 and 74.4±9.4, respectively). (p = 0.0009). With increasing BMI, FVC (Percen of predicted) significantly decreases (Mean±SD in obese and pre‐obese group were 44.8±17.2 and 81.4±11.2, respectively). (p = 0.0405). Significantly low FEV1 (percent of predicted) in smoker group (Mean±SD: 73.2±12) than non‐smokers (Mean±SD: 80.1±8.5) group (p = 0.0035). Significantly low FEV1/FVC (percent of predicted) in smoker (Mean±SD: 86.7±16.3) group than non‐smoker (Mean±SD: 97±12.4) groups (p = 0.0035). We concluded that raising burden of type 2 diabetes in India is due to various favorable socio‐demographic, lifestyle and dietary factors. The prevalence of patients with diabetes related complication will also rise. Lung involvement in type 2 diabetes may lead to chronic disability. This study evaluated the spectrum and magnitude of lung manifestations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which may help many researchers to explore the entity further.
