Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the commonest chronic non communicable disease affecting the society at large both in developing and developed countries. In our country, as diabetes is diagnosed late, many patients comes with complication of diabetes. Present study aimed to study the prevalence of neuropathy complications in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.
 Subjects and Methods: In this study, 100 newly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were evaluated. A cross section of both male and female diabetes patients diagnosed within the last 3 months (new onset) was taken into study. A detailed history, clinical examination and relevant investigations were performed. Collected data were analysed by using appropriate software.
 Results: In our study 60% were male and 40% were female. Highest neuropathy complication was seen in 56-65 age group. It was present in 35% of female and 16.66% of male in our study.
 Conclusion: Endeavour should be made to control hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia tightly by appropriate therapeutic measures so that the occurrence and worsening of complications could be mitigated.
 Aims and Objectives: To study the Prevalence of neuropathy complication in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus

Highlights

  • Diabetes Mellitus (D.M.) refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia[1]

  • It results from a defect in insulin secretion and/or insulin action, which results in hyperglycaemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism[2]

  • Age wise analysis of the patients reveals that most of the patient were in age group 46-55 yrs n =51 (51%), followed by in age group 56 – 65 n =35 (35%) and least number in 35 – 45 n= 14 (14%) .This corroborates with the work done by RAMACHANDRA et al 17 which shows that in developing countries, the majority of diabetes patients are in the age range of 45-64 years whereas in the developed countries are aged >65 years .In our study 86 % of population was in age group 46 – 65yrs
