The Impact of Glycemic Control on Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity on Diabetic Patients
- Conditions
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RADiabetes Mellitus
- Registration Number
- NCT06691997
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
The incidence of DM is unclear in RA but most prior data suggest that DM or insulin resistance in RA has risen because of activation of the immune system and/or RA therapy .
Besides, RA causes joints to become stiff, swollen, and agonizing. As a result, the patient may not want to exercise or move. One study found that 42% of people with RA are not physically active. the aim of this study is To evaluate the glycemic status among RA patients with Type 2 diabetes and its association with disease activity.
- Detailed Description
Taking the potential link between DM and RA into consideration, detection and control of DM will significantly increase prolonged prognosis and therefore decrease the economic burden of RA patients and death rate. The aim of this research is to examine diabetic RA's glycemic status and to assess the relationship between RA and DM's clinical characteristics as well as the therapy response in RA patients with diagnosed DM. Keeping an eye on glycemic control in RA patients could prevent metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities in those susceptible patients.
