Abstract

Abstract:

Objective: Purpose of the study was to assess to risk factors of diabetes type II and complications in diabetic patient of tertiary care hospital. Methods/Design: Cross sectional study conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with diabetes Mellitus. Setting: Tertiary hospitals of Islamabad and Azad Kashmir was selected for the current study. Participants: 50 patients assessed without any gender discrimination age between 35 to 85 years for risk factors and complications. Intervention: Data was collected from patients that were bed ridden admitted in hospitals. A total of 50 patients were included in this study with age limit more than 35 years and without any discrimination of gender. Primary Outcome Measures: In tertiary care hospitalized patient’s obesity, inactivity and family history were the major risk factor for diabetes mellitus type 2 and we calculated the obesity, inactivity and family history percentage in diabetic patients 63%, 49% and 67% respectively. Results: Percentage of risk factors calculated the obesity, inactivity and family history in diabetic patients 63%, 49% and 67% respectively. Macro vascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 were stroke 3%, angina 8%, hypertension and cognitive impairment have highest percentages i.e., 78%. 46% patients were suffering from ulceration; gangrene and amputation have percentages 19% and 3% respectively. Patients with microvascular complications of diabetic nephropathy were assessed for their albuminuria 25%, edema 32% and incontinence 28%. Conclusion: These complications can be avoided if patients of DM type 2 adopt a healthy lifestyle, do exercise and monitor their blood glucose levels regularly. Patients should also control their blood pressure to avoid damage to their microvasculature.
