ABSTRACT
This observational study explores spirometric changes in individuals diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition with widespread systemic effects, and its impact on respiratory function remains a subject of growing interest. The research involves monitoring and analysing spirometric data, focusing on parameters such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) among DM patients. The investigation aims to uncover potential correlations between diabetes and pulmonary function, shedding light on how metabolic factors associated with DM may influence respiratory health. By employing spirometry, a standard pulmonary function test, the study strives to identify patterns or deviations in lung function metrics specific to diabetic individuals. The findings may contribute valuable insights into the complex interplay between diabetes and respiratory health, informing both clinical understanding and potential interventions. This observational approach allows for a nuanced exploration of spirometric nuances in the context of diabetes, paving the way for a deeper comprehension of the multifaceted health implications associated with this prevalent metabolic disorder.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, spirometry, Mica mining, Diabetic nephropathy.
