Background: Numerous hormone-induced metabolic irregularities and long-term consequences define diabetes mellitus, the most common metabolic disorder. The present study assessed correlation between obesity and glycated hemoglobin in type II diabetes patients. Materials & Methods: 80 type II diabetes mellitus patients of both genders were selected. Weight, height, and BMI, waist circumference (WC), HbA1c and plasma glucose was determined. Results: Out of 80 patients, males were 56 and females were 24. There were 20 normal patients, 24 overweight and 36 obese. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The mean WC was 80.4 cm, 94.5 cm and 102.5 cm, HbA1C was 6.7%, 8.1% and 8.9% in normal, overweight and obese patients respectively. FBG was 136.4 mg/dl, 142.8 mg/dl and 156.2 mg/dl. SBP was 134.2 mm Hg, 126.0 mm Hg and 136.4 mm Hg, DBP was 82.2 mm Hg, 86.4 mm Hg and 88.4 mm Hg in normal, overweight and obese patients respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Those with diabetes had higher obesity prevalence. Dysglycemia was higher in patients with diabetes who had a medium BMI and was overweight or obese. |
