  • To assess whether hypertension serves as a comorbid condition in developing complications.

  • To observe prescribing patterns in diabetic complications.

  • To assess the occurrence of complications based on age.

  • To establish a relationship between GRBS and occurrence of diabetic complications.


METHODOLOGY:


An observational prospective study was carried at tertiary care hospital semiannually from September 2022- March 2023. The study took place at the pay ward, cubicles and ICU .Patients who met the study criteria are included in the study.


Statistical methods were implied on the collected data such as Kruskal wallis to compare the macrovascular  complications due to non parametric results.


2-way ANOVA assessed microvascular complications since the information collected  was parametric, likewise ,one way ANOVA used to compare the GRBS and drugs and kruskalwallis test to assess complications based on GRBS.


RESULT:


Overall of 162 patients enrolled in the course of the study with diabetes, were assessed for the diabetic complications. The demonstration revealed a significant difference among consequences which was proved by rejecting null hypothesis.


CONCLUSION:


It had been observed that Prevalence of diabetic complications were slightly more in males that is 52% than females 48%.


In the complications, hypertension had maximum risk among enrolled patients. Patients who had hypertention with diabetes accounted for 85.80% whereas people with diabetes alone included 14.20%.


In the study 28% cardiopathy, 19% nephropathy, 16% cerebrovascular disease, 16% neuropathy,12% diabetic foot and 9% diabetic retinopathy cases were observed.
