Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
To analyse the FBS, PPBS, HbA1C and serum Zinc in patients with Type 2 DM. The study was carried out on 50 newly diagnosed patients of Type 2 DM and controls in the Department of Medicine, RMMCH, Annamalai University, Chidambaram. Analysis of FBS, PPBS, Serum Zinc, HbA1C, Serum Urea, Serum Creatinine were done by standard methods. FBS, PPBS values were statistically higher in diabetic group than control group. (P< 0.001) and the mean HbA1C % was also higher in cases (8.73 ±1.52 % & p=0.001). The average serum Zn level in cases was lower than controls (77.98 ± 11.02 vs 115.08 ± 23.91) and p<0.001 with correlation coefficient r =-0.689. Our study revealed a negative relationship between HbA1C% and serum Zinc in patients with type 2 DM.
