Abstract

Many patients with this form of Diabetes mellitus are obese and obesity itself causes some degree of insulin resistance. Patients who are not obese by traditional weight criteria may have increased percentage of body fat distributed predominantly in the abdominal region. Ketoacidosis seldom occurs in this type of diabetes, it usually arises in association with the stress of another illness such as infection. Out of 240 patients attending diabetic clinic 54 patients were selected. The relevant information was recorded in a pre-tested proforma. After taking detailed history, thorough clinical examination was done according to the proforma. BMI was calculated as weight (kilograms) divided by height (meters) squared. The mean FBS of Study Group was 163.13 with SD 15.06 and the mean PPBS of Study Group 232.35 with SD 35.71. The mean FBS of Control Group was 102.61 with SD 6.07 and the mean PPBS of Control Group was 150.13 with SD 10.64. It is seen that, the mean FBS and PPBS of the Study Group was more than the Control Group.
