RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DURATION OF DISEASE, BMI AND BLOOD GLUCOSE WITH HBA1C LEVELS IN TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS IN INDIA

Abhishek Sinha, Rinku Garg

Abstract


Introduction: Type II Diabetes Mellitus is one of the diseases which is expected to reach epidemic proportions in the Indian subcontinent in the coming years. HbA1c levels are used to assess the severity of the disease universally. In the present study we have tried to test for the relationship between the duration of diabetes, BMI of the patients and blood glucose with HbA1c levels.

Material and Methods: 87 Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients were recruited for this study. Their anthropometric and disease history was noted down and HbA1c and blood glucose levels were estimated biochemically.

Statistical Analysis: Data collected was entered in to MS Excel and analyzed by SPSS 25 software for relationship of variables with HbA1c by correlation test and whether these variables are predictors of HbA1c by regression tests.

Result: The duration of diabetes and BMI were not correlated with HbA1c levels, however FBG AND PPG were correlated significantly with HbA1c levels. Also BMI, duration of diabetes, FBG and PPG were found to be independent predictors of HbA1c levels in these patients.

Discussion: BMI and duration of diabetes are not correlated with HbA1c levels in a Type II diabetes mellitus patients but both FBG and PPG were found to be correlated with HbA1c levels. Also if FBG, PPG, BMI and duration of diabetes are known, HbA1c levels can be predicted, showing that these variables can be used to monitor and assess the morbidity of diabetes in these patients.
