A Master's thesis was defended at the College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah, by the student Ruaa Tariq Abdul-Sayed, entitled "Pulmonary Function Disorders in Type 2 Diabetic Patients... Under Treatment with Different Types of Diabetes Medications".
The study investigated Type 2 diabetic patients and the disease's impact on general lung function efficiency, alongside evaluating the effect of commonly used diabetes medications on respiratory parameters. The thesis highlighted that diabetes is characterized by diverse complications that can affect systemic organs, including the lungs.
The research concluded that there is a significant decrease in pulmonary function test parameters in diabetic patients compared to healthy individuals, with a predominance of restrictive respiratory patterns. The findings emphasized that diabetes plays a crucial role in the development of these complications, representing primary non-metabolic disorders that can be easily measured for early diagnosis.
