Abstract :

Background: India leads the world with the largest number of Diabetic subjects, hence can be called as Diabetic Capital of World. Diabetes is a serious, chronic disease that occurs due to defects in insulin secretion or insulin action or may be both. Optimal glycemic control is fundamental and still is the main therapeutic objective for the managing and prevention micro and macrovascular complications arising from diabetes that can impact on quality of life. The main objective of the study is to identify correlation between above three parameters and Glycemic Control. Methods: Total 500 subjects were studied which were divided into two groups of 250 each as cases and controls after defining proper inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The result shown that cases have significantly elevated FBS PPBS and HbA1C when compared to age and sex matched healthy controls with p<0.0001. We also identified Pearson correlation among parameters, FBS and HbA1C found to be strongly correlated as compared to PPBS and HbA1C. Conclusion: We can conclude that in developing countries like India where estimation of Glycated Hemoglobin is not financially possible FBS can be used as better parameter for Glycemic Control. Although both FBS and PPBS can show Glycemic control.
