Abstract

Background: To determine the clinical profile of diabetic patients its significance for diabetic management. Karimnagar is the fourth largest urban area in the newly formed state of Telangana, and its diabetic burden is presumably on the higher side.

Material and Methods: Diabetic patients in the study were analysed for various components like duration of diabetes prevalence of complications pattern of drug use and associated non diabetic co-morbidities over the study period.

Results: Musculoskeletal symptom, neuropathy, fatigue predominated the health need of diabetics in the study. New diabetics were also detected highlighting the need of frequent screening camps. Thyroid disorders were also found to be more associated in diabetics along with hypertension and dyslipidemia.

Conclusion: The Diabetic profile in the study area is characterised by high CV risk, low penetration of statins usage, high association of hypertension, suboptimal sugar control and very high level of dyslipidemia, implying of a lack of awareness and a need for renewed strategy.
