Estimation Of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Among Diabetic Patients A Case Control Study
Estimation Of Glycosylated Hemoglobin Among Diabetic Patients-A Case Control Study
Keywords:
Diabetes mellitus, glycosylated haemoglobinAbstract
Introduction: The main role of Glycosylated haemoglobin is in getting information about degree of control in a diabetic patient. The present study is being undertaken for estimating the glycosylated haemoglobin in various forms of diabetes mellitus and to assess its efficacy further management of patients. Methods: The present study has been conducted on forty patients of diabetes mellitus selected from outpatients department and compared to ten controls. All the cases i.e. patients as well as controls were investigated for post prandial 2 hours blood glucose (Glucose oxidase method), urine sugar (Benedict’s test) and glycosylated haemoglobin percentage (Quick column/ion exchange resin method). Results: Among 40 diabetic patients, 8 (20%) wee of IDDM group and 32 (80%) were of NIDDM group. Basal level of glycosylated haemoglobin in control group is 6.30%. Glycosylated haemoglobin value can discriminate cases of diabetes mellitus from non diabetic cases. There is no correlation between age and sex of the patient with glycosylated haemoglobin percentage. Glycosylated haemoglobin decreases with improving quality of control of diabetes mellitus as indicated by decreasing amount of sugar in urine. Diabetes mellitus patients can be categorised into good, fair or poor control on the basis of glycosylated haemoglobin percentage. Glycosylated haemoglobin percentage is very well correlated with average blood glucose value (Post prandial 2 hours) over previous 2 months. Conclusion: The control of diabetes mellitus was shown by the level of blood glucose (post prandial 2 hours) and urine sugar and was also confirmed by percentage of glycosylated haemoglobin.
