Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Diabete Type 2

• Registration Number: NCT06117449
• Lead Sponsor: Assiut University

Brief Summary

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder with heterogeneous etiologies, which is characterized by raised levels of glucose in a person's blood and disturbances of macromolecules such as carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both.

A lack of insulin, or the inability of cells to respond to it, leads to high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia), which is the clinical indicator of diabetes. Type 1 DM is characterized by insulin deficiency and a tendency to develop diabetic ketoacidosis, whereas type 2 DM is characterized by variable degrees of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and excessive hepatic glucose produc Tion. Diabetes is one of the most rapidly increasing chronic diseases and an important public health problem all over the world. The global burden of diabetes is rising dramatically worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for around 90% of all diabetes worldwide (IDF). The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is high and rising across all regions. This rise is driven by increasing life expectancy, economic development, and increasing urbanization leading to more sedentary lifestyles and greater consumption of unhealthy foods linked with obesity.

Type 2 diabetes prevalence has increased in Egypt during the past few years. Egypt is one of the top ten nations with the greatest proportion of adults with diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation. In Egypt, the prevalence of diabetes was projected to be 9.6 million, with type 2 diabetes making up the bulk of cases .
