Abstract

Objective: The main aim of the study is to inspect specific state of the disease – Diabetes Mellitus by screening Glycated Hemoglobin, Fasting plasma glucose and spectrum of complications. Study Design: An Observational study carried out for 6 months (October 2018-March 2019) in 688 diabetic patients. Results: Glycated hemoglobin is ≤ 6.9% in 14% of total patients and 86% of the patients are having ≥ 7%, 15% of total 688 diabetic patients are maintaining fasting plasma glucose levels ≤ 108 mg/dl. Conclusion: An abnormal maintainance of glycemic levels is responsible for the development of diabetic complications. Diabetic educators and clinical pharmacist interventions can reduce glycemic levels along with the physician aided pharmacological treatment. Proper central and local management interventions and combined efforts from all the stakeholders of the the general public is a requisite to trim down the disease burden that diabetes creates in India.
