In this study females were higher in range than males. Mostof the patients were with the age group of 41 to 60 followed by the age group 61 to 70 was affected by diabetes mellitus. The overall study shows Insulin was used more in most of the prescriptions for both single as well as doublet therapy. Next, to that Metformin was used as first line agent all type2 diabetes patients.Sulfonylureas such as Glimepiride Glibenclamide were used as second line agent. Oral anti-diabetic drugs still dominate the drug prescribing pattern, but there was a little change in the study towards the use of Insulin preparations in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus because of the severe diabetic level and insulin deficiency. Insulin preparations were found to be more effective than oral anti-diabetics for hospitalized patients.
