Abstract
Diabetes is directly associated with various life-threatening diseases like renal failure and cardiac disruption. Similarly, hypertension is accompanied by diabetes, which can lead to microalbuminuria or diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, the study has aimed to assess BMI, duration of diabetes, fasting lipids, serum creatinine, and microalbuminuria to control glucose levels. A cross-sectional analysis of 500 type 2 diabetic subjects was conducted among North Indian population visiting endocrine clinic of Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Diabetes & Endocrinology (RGCDE), Faculty of Medicine of J. N. Medical College Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh, India. The patients reported to endocrine clinic in the year 1999-2012. The findings have shown that there is a significant association between HbA1c and neuropathy (p = 0.03), LDL-C and HbA1c (p = 0.031), triglyceride and HbA1c (p = 0.000) and type of medication and HbA1c (p = 0.014). However, there was no significant correlation between diabetes duration and glycemic control.
