Abstract :

BACKGROUND Early detection and treatment of uncontrolled diabetes plays a significant role. So in this study we correlate FBS, PPBS and HbA1C with diabetic nephropathy using clinical and laboratory techniques. METHODOLOGY This cross Sectional analytic Study was carried out utilising the data on 100 Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attended OPD/IPD at A Medical college hospital from October2014 to September 2016. In the study we used diabetic Dipstick test for microalbuminuria . FBS, PPBS, HbA1C and various routine investigations were done using standard procedures. RESULTS Of the 100 type 2 diabetics majority (60%) belonged to the age group of 56–60 years .The duration of diabetes ranged from 5 to >15 years and 40% belonged to group of 10–15 years of diabetes mellitus. In our study cohort 36% of participants had HBA1c of 8–10.. Twenty nine had microalbuminuria with gender ratio ( 58% males: 42% females). There was statistically significant correlation between levels of FBS, PPBS and HbA1C with Microalbuminuria. A linear relationship was observed between microalbuminuria and duration of Diabetes .However, gender and BMI had no correlation in this study . CONCLUSION Thus we can conclude that poor glycaemic control as seen by FBS,PPBS and HBA1c can cause increased risk of development of microvascular complications of diabetes. Also early diagnosis and tight control of blood sugar levels can prevent or delay microvascular complications and it was also seen that BMI does not have a significant association with development of Microalbuminuria and thus may need further studies for evaluation
