IMPACT OF DIABETIES MELLITUS ON PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST IN COPD PATIENTS

COPD is a multisystemic inflammatory illness that affects more than only the lungs. The link between reduced lung function and diabetes has been investigated for many years, suggesting that the lung could be a target organ in diabetes.  Diabetes mellitus (DM) pulmonary effects are poorly understood. Some publications have observed normal pulmonary functions in diabetes individuals and even concluded that spirometry is not required. In other investigations, people with DM had altered respiratory parameters. Furthermore, the duration of diabetes and glycemic control have different effects on pulmonary function. The present review focus on impact of diabeties mellitus on pulmonary function test in COPD patients.
