Abstract
Purpose: To assess the association and correlation of Diabetic Retinopathy with HbA1clevels.
Materials and Methods: 100 patients of type 2 diabetics were examined in the present study.
Results: Out of 100 patients in the study, the mean age of Diabetes Mellitus is 15.99 years + 5.68 years. The mean of HbA1c in the study population was 9.25 + 1.59. The range of HbA1c was 8.6% to 10.5%.
Conclusion: The severity of Diabetic Retinopathy is increased with age and duration of Diabetes Mellitus. The HbA1c levels showed an increase, with the severity of Diabetic Retinopathy. The high HbA1c levels showed the presence of CSME (Clinically Significant Macular Edema).
Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, NPDR, PDR, HbA1c.
