| Abstract | ||
| Objective: To evaluate the degree of glycaemic control among diabetic patients. Methods: The study included 156 diabetic patients (64 with insulin – dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 92 with non insulin – dependent diabetes mellitus ( NIDDM) ), and 120 control subject. The parameters measured were fasting blood glucose (FBG) and the level of glycated haemoglobin (Hb A1c). Results: HbA1c level was significantly higher among diabetic patients (both IDDM and NIDDM) compared to controls (P<0.001). Also, 43.8% of IDDM patients and 63.0% of NIDDM patients were in poor glycaemic control. Conclusion: substantial proportion of diabetic patients are in poor metabolic control , and hence, more prone to early diabetic complications. | ||
