Evaluation of MPV and PDW levels by using antihyperglycemic drugs in type 2 DM patients
Objectives: MPV and PDW are vascular complications markers and improved glycemic control levels are correlated those indicators in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The aim of in this study, MPV and PDW levels were compared type 2 diabetic patients treated with oral antihyperglycemic agent and insulin.
Methods: This study was performed retrospectively on type 2 DM patients who were admitted to Ankara Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. 118 randomly selected patients were divided into 3 groups that were non-diabetic (Group 1), who received OAD therapy (Group 2), and those who received insulin therapy (Group 3). HbA1c, MPV, PDW levels were collected, analyzed and compared with each other.
Results: MPV and PDW values were increased in type 2 DM patients compared to the control group (Group 2; p <0.001 and Group 3 p <0.001, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between MPV and PDW values in patients treated OAD and insulin therapy (p=0.736 ve p=0.360 respectively). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between HbA1c values and MPV (p <0.001) and PDW (p <0.001) values.
Conclusions: In our study, no significant difference was found between MPV and PDW values of patients using insulin and oad. Early initiation of conventional insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes provides good glycemic control. Rational drug use in accordance with the guidelines; gains importance in treatment success. Skipping this factor may reduce the efficiency of other efforts in relation to rational treatment.
