TO STUDY THE PREVALENCE OF NEUROPATHY COMPLICATION IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

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
