Abstract:

This article is devoted to the assessment of some biochemical blood indicators (concentration of glucose, general protein, sodium and potassium) of diabetic residents of the northern cities, depending on their gender, season, and the type of the disease. It is shown that all examined diabetic patients of the northern city, irrespective of their gender and the type of the disease, had a concentration of glucose in blood above the age clinical norm. The women suffering from the insulin non-dependent diabetes had the studied indicator lower, than the men with the identical disease. When comparing the level of glucose in blood of the women sick with insulin non-dependent diabetes, the studied indicator was lower, than for their contemporaries suffering from the insulin dependent diabetes. The majority of the surveyed had the concentration of sodium, potassium and the general protein in blood in limits of their age norm. Average values of glucose concentration in blood of the residents of the northern city were much higher during the autumn and winter periods. In the summer the indicator of glucose was on the most lower level of hyperglycemia. The high level of hyperglycemia during cold seasons can be explained with climatic factors which have a negative impact on the health of the inhabitants of the North. Cold weather’s influence increases the residents’ volume of breath and oxygen consumption. Severe climatic conditions, seasonal biorhythm, sharp differences of atmospheric pressure, associated chronic diseases, the aggravated ecological situation in the area — all these factors in total aggravate the course of diabetes.
