Abstract

 Diabetes mellitus is a growing cause of morbidity and mortality in India and worldwide. It can be attributed as one of the cause as well as consequence of sarcopenia.There is paucity of data on sarcopenia and its correlation with metabolic control in diabetic patients. Therefore this study was undertaken to measure the Hand Grip Strength (HGS) in type 2 diabetic patients as a measure of sarcopenia and compare with age-sex matched non-diabetic subjects and to study its correlation with the glycaemic control (HbA1c level).
