Abstract

AIM: To analyze the physiological and clinical characteristics of diabetes mellitus (DM) in young immigrants from Hindustan.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a descriptive analysis of clinical and laboratory variables related to DM in diabetic Hindustanis aged between 15 and 40 years old. Body mass index (BMI) and waist perimeter (WP) were calculated. The immunology of DM and baseline C-peptide were studied and insulin resistance (IR) was determined by Homeostasis Model Assessment: Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).

RESULTS: The final sample consisted of 30 patients. The prevalence of DM was 0.84%. All patients had DM2 and 50% had high IR. Baseline C-peptide secretion was preserved in all patients. The cut-off points that best predicted IR in this ethnic group were a BMI higher than 25 and a WC of more than 95 cm.

CONCLUSIONS: Most young Hindustani immigrants with diabetes have DM2 with preserved baseline insulin secretion and IR. Lower degrees of obesity than in the Spanish population were associated with IR.
