Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical and biochemical profile of newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from rural areas.
Method: 100 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were included in this study. Study protocol included detailed clinical history, examination and investigations. Clinical examination and investigations were done to assess hypertension, body mass index, ischemic heart diseases, lipid profile, microvascular, and macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus.
Results: There were 56 males and 44 females. Maximum patients were belonged to fourth decade and upper- lower socioeconomic status. 18% patients had obesity and 30% people were overweight. The prevalence of abnormal Waist to hip ratio was 46 %. Polyuria was the main complaint in 60% patients. 54 % patients had hypertension. 40% patients had increased cholesterol, 52 %patients had altered triglyceride. One or more microvascular complications were detected in 67% patients. The prevalence of neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy was 25%, 20% and22 % respectively.
Conclusion: This study showed more patients belonged to younger age group. Most of the patients were not obese but had abnormal waist to hip ratio. Hypertension was the commonest observed comorbidity. Significant proportions of our patients had microvascular complications at the time of diagnosis. Neuropathy was the commonest complication.
Keywords: Body mass index, Ischemic heart disease, Nephropathy, Neuropathy, Retinopathy, Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
