Abstract

Objective:Insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic β-cell failure are key factors in the development of type 2 diabetes.The aim of the present study was to define the relationship between Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and the degree of insulin resistance and β cell dysfunction in Type 2Diabetus Mellitus.Methods: This study was carried out on seventy diabetic patient attended the outpatient clinic of the diabetes and metabolism unit in Alexandria Main University Hospital (AMUH)and thirty t healthy subjects with matched age, sex and socioeconomic status as a control group. Subjects were interviewed in order to collect data using predesigned questionnaire, anthropometric measures were measured, blood samples were collected from each subject for chemical analysis. Results: NLR was higher in diabetic subjects than non-diabetic one. NLR showed significant positive correlation with HOMA-IR and no significant negative correlation with HOMA-β.Conclusion: the relation between inflammation and adipose tissue is extremely complex in diabetic patients. However, simple calculation of NLR and measurement of waist circumference can reveal inflammation in the diabetic population.
