Official Title: Relationship Between Parameters of Glycemic Control and Irisin Levels in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Sarcopenic Obesity or Non-sarcopenic Obesity

Brief Summary:

The goal of this observational study is to compare glycemic control and irisin levels in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2 with sarcopenic obesity vs non-sarcopenic obesity.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is glycemic control worse in diabetic patients with sarcopenic obesity?
Are irisin levels higher in patients with non-sarcopenic obesity?

Participants will be asked to:

  • Fill in three questionaries on lifestyle
  • Perform two physical performance tests

The investigators will collect the following data:

  • Anthropometric measurements
  • Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis.
  • Results of routine blood analyses
  • Irisin levels by drawing a vial of blood from the antecubital vein
