Aim:
This research examines the clinical characteristics and complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among patients at a tertiary hospital in India.
Materials And Methods:
Fifty patients were analyzed for demographic data, glycemic control, lipid profile, and complications.
Results:
The study demonstrated a significant correlation between poor glycemic control, as evidenced by elevated HbA1c levels, and a heightened risk of microvascular complications, such as peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. The prevalence of autonomic neuropathy was notably high, with 78% of patients testing positive.
Conclusion:
These findings underscore the significance of early diagnosis and proactive management of glycemic control to avert complications in patients with T2DM.
