Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is strongly associated with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This work aimed to estimate the impact of Hepatitis C virus infection on glycaemic state and insulin resistance in type 2 Diabetic patients, and evaluate the effect of direct-acting oral antiviral treatment on the glycaemic state and insulin resistance in type 2 Diabetic patients. Methods: The study was performed on (40 patients) with Type 2 Diabetes who were infected by Hepatitis C Virus and took Direct-acting Oral Antiviral Drugs. The study also included (10 patients) who had Type 2 Diabetes and HCV infection serving as control group. All patients and control were subjected to thorough history taking, clinical examination, and lab. investigations as FBG, PP and HBA1c , Serum fasting Insulin level, And HOMA-IR, HCVab – HBsAg – HIVab, CBC, SGOT, SGPT, Serum Albumin and Bilirubin, PCR for HCV RNA, and Abdominal US. Results: DAAs-based eradication of HCV is associated with improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes as evidenced by a significant reduction of mean FBG, Fasting insulin, HbA1c, and HOMA IR. There was a positive correlation between the treatment of HCV infection and the reduction of anti-diabetic drugs used in the studied patients. Conclusion: DAAs-based eradication of HCV is associated with improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
