Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder and a major health problem of all countries. It is estimated that in 2010 there were globally 285 million people (approximately 6.4% of the adult population) suffering from this disease. This number is estimated to increase to 430 million by 2030. Information regarding the diabetes incidence of different age group and gender in the inhabitants of Chitwan is very high. Diabetic profile tests were performed using blood sugar fasting  (BSF), blood sugar random (BSR), blood sugar post prandial (BSPP) and HBA1C  in the patients who visited OPD of CMCTH,  a tertiary care teaching hospital in the central region of Nepal. Out of the 10,665 surveyed subjects, only 584 subjects (5.47%) between the age group 30-70, [males: 53.6% (n=313)] and [females: 46.4% (n=271)] were confirmed diagnosed of having diabetes on the basis of WHO and ADA diagnostic criteria. All the parameters of diabetic profile tests estimation in patients were significantly higher (p<0.005) than that of normal individuals.

 

Key words: Diabetes mellitus, Blood sugar and HBA1C.
