Correlation of blood sugar and HbA1C levels in different stage of diabetes retinopathy
A hospital based prospective study
Keywords:
diabetic retinopathy, HbA1c, post prandial glucose level, Fasting glucose levelAbstract
Objectives: This present study was to evaluate the different parameters and correlation of blood sugar and HbA1C levels for the development of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: A complete assessment, general physical examination and routine haematological investigations were performed to all patients. A complete fundus examination was done with the help of direct and indirect Ophthalmoscope. Biochemical investigations (Blood Sugar- Fasting and Post Prandial, HbA1C level) were performed. Patients were called for follow up after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Results: A total of 100 patients of diabetes retinopathy were enrolled in this study. Most of the cases 67(67%) were males with age group of 51-60 years. out of 191 eyes, most of the cases 72(37.7%) had PDR. Rest cases had 58(30.36%) severe NPDR, 46(24.08%) moderate NPDR, 9(4.71%) others and 6(3.14%) mild NPDR. HbA1c levels of the most of the cases 94(49.21%) had 6.5-8.5. Most of the patients 170(89.53%) of DR had blood glucose level > 140 mg% on PP.
