Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant health burden and recent reports suggest that the incidence of diabetes is increasing. Poor knowledge, fear of use of new drugs, and lack of awareness of the importance of the control of the disease are common among primary care physicians caring for diabetes patients. Many diabetes patients continue to be underdiagnosed, undertreated, increased use of expensive acute health-care services, and reduced quality of life.
The aim was to study the poor control of DM and the associated risk factors associated with Type 2 DM, to spread awareness about DM, to assess the prevalence, treatment, and control of diabetes, to examine the relationship of obesity with raised blood glucose, and finally, to evaluate the effect of the educational level on glycemic control.
This study was conducted to evaluate the control of diabetes in South Kashmir, India. It was done among patients in the Outpatient Department of Medicine, MMAB Memorial Hospital (GMC Associated Hospital) Anantnag, Kashmir. A random sampling procedure was adopted for the study, and a total of 300 patients were studied over a period of 5 months, which included 155 men and 145 women. During a period of study, within the age group of 36-50 years with adiposity were assessed for glycemic control.
All patients underwent anthropometric assessment and blood pressure measurements. Fasting blood sample was obtained for plasma glucose and lipids. Patients were assessed for weight and body mass index.
The prevalence of uncontrolled glycemia was more frequent in women as compared to men because of adiposity.
糖尿病是一项重大的健康负担，近期报告显示糖尿病发病率正在上升。在照顾糖尿病患者的初级保健医生中，普遍存在知识匮乏、对新药使用的恐惧以及对疾病控制重要性认识不足的情况。许多糖尿病患者仍未得到充分诊断和治疗，昂贵的急性医疗服务使用增加，生活质量下降。
研究2型糖尿病患者血糖控制不佳及相关危险因素，提高对糖尿病的认识，评估糖尿病的患病率、治疗和控制情况，研究肥胖与血糖升高的关系，最后评估教育水平对血糖控制的影响。
本研究旨在评估印度克什米尔南部地区的糖尿病控制情况。研究在克什米尔阿南特纳格MMAB纪念医院（与政府医学院相关的医院）内科门诊患者中进行。研究采用随机抽样程序，在5个月的时间里共研究了300名患者，其中包括155名男性和145名女性。在研究期间，对年龄在36 - 50岁且肥胖的患者进行血糖控制评估。
所有患者均接受人体测量评估和血压测量。采集空腹血样检测血糖和血脂。对患者的体重和体重指数进行评估。
由于肥胖，女性血糖控制不佳的患病率高于男性。
