Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
One of the challenges of the 21st century is the increasing prevalence of diabetes. Prolonged exposure to hyperglycemia is associated with both macrovascular and microvascular complications. We evaluated the relationship between BMI(Body Mass Index) and glycemic control. It is a cross sectional study conducted in 100 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM) subjects in the Department of Physiology and Diabetology in Coimbatore medical college hospital. Unpaired t test shows significant difference in the mean HbA1C values between normal and overweight subjects (p value=0.0012). Fishers Chi Square test shows significant association between BMI groups and glycemic control (X2 = 23.971, p value =0.0000). Hence, the study concludes that, increase in BMI is associated with poor glycemic control. Strict control of BMI is necessary to maintain good glycemic control and thereby to prevent complications and maintain quality of life. Key Words: Body Mass Index, HbA1c,Glycemic control
