Effect of Diabetes on the Onset of Various Complications in Adult Type 2 Diabetic Population

Bibi Fatima Hasan, Avanti Rao

Abstract: The aim of the study was to check the biochemical parameters as indicators of the onset of various complications in the body, to correlate these complications with adult type 2 diabetic population and to associate the duration of diabetes mellitus with other complications. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 109 diabetic subjects out of which 47.7 % (n=52) were males and 52.29 % (n=57) were females. Baseline data showed that the mean HbA1c of males was 11.94 % and that of females was 7.27 %. Hypertension was the most common complication (90.8 %) followed by cardiovascular diseases (38.5 %), eye diseases (34.86 %), renal disorders (29.35 %) and foot complications (28.44 %). The prevalence of liver disease was just 8.25 %. Majority of patients (38.53 %) had two complications, followed by three complications in 25.68 %, only one complication in 22.01 % and four complications in 13.76 % subjects along with diabetes. Pearson’s coefficient of correlation proved a positive association (r=0.904 in males and r=0.833 in females) of these complications with diabetes. In people with type 2 diabetes, the risk of developing different complications is inversely proportional to glycemic control. This emphasises the fact that effective control of type 2 diabetes is needed to prevent or reduce the risk of these complications.
