Background: India is the second largest home for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The chronic nature of disease along with high prevalence of “co morbidities” make its management tricky. Hence this multiple health conditions lead to faster decline in quality of health, which poses a great concern on the health-care delivery system as well as on patients’ pocket. The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence of co-morbidities among known type 2 diabetic patients residing in urban slums of the field practice area of a Medical College in North Karnataka.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study done in urban slums among type 2 diabetics, sample size was calculated to be 155. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information regarding socio-demographic data and history of co-morbidities; height, weight and blood-pressure were measured using standard criteria. HbA1C level was checked using single use HbA1C Now+ kit by BHR diagnostics.Results: Out of 158 type 2 diabetics in our study, 86.7% had presence of one or the other co-morbidity. 61.9% and 51.5% of male and female participants had HbA1c levels >7.0 respectively, this was statistically significant. HbA1c level and BMI were significantly associated with presence of co-morbidities in our study population.Conclusions: Results show high prevalence of co-morbidities among type 2 diabetics. Hypertension, obesity, depression and neuropathy are the commonest co-morbidities. So, prevention of such co-existing diseases improves the quality of life of the sufferers.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that disturbs the quality of life (QOL) of patients. Therefore, evaluation of diabetes- related QOL could be a key outcome measure for its management. This study assessed the QOL in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using the World Health Organization (WHO) quality of life (QOL)˗BREF questionnaire and disease-specific appraisal of diabetes scale (ADS). In this cross-sectional study, 520 T2DM patients were included. Patients’ demographic data, clinical information was collected through interviews, and the WHOQOL-BREF instrument and ADS were used for the QOL of patients. Statistical analysis was performed by using R software (Version 3.6.0). The mean ADS scores were lower in controlled diabetic subjects (18.50±3.08) and higher in uncontrolled diabetic subjects (19.29±2.73) (P<0.05). For WHOQOL-BREF, the mean scores for all the domains (overall general health, physical, psychological, social, and environmental) were significantly higher in controlled diabetic subjects (P<0.001). In addition, the age, duration of diabetes, associated comorbidities, treatment, and HbA1c level of patients showed a highly significant correlation with WHOQOL-BREF (P<0.001). Diabetic patients had poor-to-average QOL. Therefore, public health measures and education of diabetic patients are essential to create more awareness for improving the QOL of T2DM.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of visual loss in individuals aged 20–64 years old. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a multicenter retrospective cross-sectional study, sex-gender difference in DR in a large sample of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). 20,611 T2DM regularly attending the units for the last three years were classified as having: (a) No DR (NDR), (b) nonproliferative DR (NPDR), or (c) preproliferative/proliferative DR (PPDR). DR of all grades was present in 4294 T2DM (20.8%), with a significant higher prevalence in men as compared to women (22.0% vs. 19.3% p < 0.0001). Among DR patients, both NPDR and PPDR were significantly more prevalent in men vs. women (p = 0.001 and p = 0.0016, respectively). Women had similar age and BMI, but longer diabetes duration, worse glycemic metabolic control, and more prevalence of hypertension and chronic renal failure (CRF) of any grade vs. men. No significant differences between sexes were evident in term of drug therapy for diabetes and associate pathologies. Conclusions: In this large sample of T2DM, men show higher prevalence of DR vs. women, in spite of less represented risk factors, suggesting that male sex per se might be a risk factor for DR development.
