Diabetes mellitus is a common and serious health issue in older people and there is a significant and troubling association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and functional impairment in the elderly. Diabetes is also often associated with a lower rate of health recovery and with a feeling of weakness. Individuals with DM are prone to functional disability due to many reasons such as decreased sensorimotor function, neuromuscular/ musculoskeletal deficits, foot and body pain and pharmacological and related complications. Physical activity is recommended by physicians and clinicians to type- II diabetic elderly patients, as it increases sensitivity to insulin. To implement preventive policies for reduction in functional disability in older diabetic people, the role of diabetes in the disability process should be investigated. DM is consistently associated with a greater prevalence of functional impairment as well as with a progression in disability states and may be considered as a brake on recovery phase. This association is partially explained by existing complications, associated conditions (obesity, hypertension and depression), treatment burden and other social characteristics (lower income and lower educational level). In this review, our aim is to describe the role of DM in the functional disability in older people and to identify possibilities of functional disability prevention in elderly people. Thus, DM may be considered as a frailty factor in geriatric population. However, the reasons and mechanisms of these deleterious effects of diabetes on functional inability need to be clarified.Keywords

The bisthiazolidinones 3a-3k built around the aliphatic chains ranging from two to twelve carbon units have been synthesized in good yields by refluxing bis-Schiff's bases 2a-2k with ethyl bromoacetate in dioxane medium. The compounds 2a-2k were obtained from the reaction of bisaldehydes 1a-1k with thiosemicabazide in dry EtOH. The length of the internal spacer did not have any significant effect upon the formation and antimicrobial behavior of the bisthiazolidinones 3a-3k. The structures of the new intermediates 2f, 2h and 2j and final compounds 3a-3k have been determined from the rigorous analysis of their IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass (ESI) and elemental analysis.Keywords

Objective: To study the clinical and biochemical profile of newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from a tertiary care hospital in Greater Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar.
Method: At total of 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients presenting in the Department of Medicine were included and studied. A detailed clinical history, examination and investigations were recorded. The presence of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus was assessed using this clinical and laboratory data.
Results: There were 52 males and 48 females. Maximum patients belonged to fourth decade and upperlower socioeconomic status. 20% patients had obesity and 50% people were overweight. Polyuria was the chief presenting complaint in 51% cases with polydipsia, weight loss and weakness being the other common symptoms. 62 % of the diabetics had hypertension. Increased cholesterol was reported in 44% and 53 %patients had altered triglyceride. The prevalence of neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy was 33%, 28% and21 % respectively.
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients present with comorbidities and complications frequently. Significant proportion of patients in this study had poor glycemic control as well as microvascular complications at the very time of diagnosis. A vast majority were overweight with high waist circumference. Commonest observed comorbidities with diabetes were that of hypertensionand dyslipidemia.
