Abstract

Objective: To determine serum 1,5- anhydroglucitol   (1,5-AG)   levels  among   patients  with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Basrah, and to evaluate  the changes in 1,5-AG levels with regard to the status of glycaemic control. Methods: The present study included 76 patients with T2D, 33 males and 43 females, 30-78 years of age. Height, weight, waist circumference , systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were  measured. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and  serum 1,5-AG levels were determined. Results: The study revealed that T2D patients have low serum  1,5-AG concentrations (3.62 ±1.56) µg/ml. The comparative  male and female values were (3.69±1.55) µg/ml and (3.57±1.58) µg/ml.  The vast majority of the included diabetic patients (90.8%) were in a state  of poor glycemic control, with 6.6%   have an sub-optimal  metabolic control. On the other hand,  good  glycemic was documented in 2.6 % of patients. There were no significant differences in plasma 1,5-AG concentrations   with regard to the status of glycaemic control  (P > 0.05). Conclusion: T2D patients have reduced  serum 1,5-AG concentrations. Thus, it could be, potentially, valuable test for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients were in poor glycaemic state. Therefore, they are at a substantial   risk for the development of  diverse  diabetic  complications.
