Abstract

Objective: To describe the profile of type-2 diabetes patients.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in tertiary care hospital. A total of 50 cases of diabetes with and without complication with 35-75 years of age were included in the study. The data was collected in a proforma which includes IPD/OPD no. various socio-economic parameters like name, age, sex, occupation, religion as well as detailed medical examinations and laboratory investigations. 

Results: Overall, 40% of the cases had any one of the complications. The complication was higher among 51-60 years (57.1%) than 41-50 (42.3), >60 (36.4%) and <40 (16.7%) years. The complication was higher among males (44%) compared with females (36%). The level all the biochemical parameters were significantly (p<0.05) higher among the cases of complications compared with without complications.

Conclusions: It is concluded from the results of this study that the rate of complications are higher in case of poor glycaemic control as compared to good glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Keywords: Type-2 diabetes, Complications, Glycaemic control.
