Abstract
Glycosylated haemoglobin was studied in 30 cases of mild to severe diabetes in the age group 12-60 years. Ten patients were keto-acidotic. Glycosylated haemoglobin and fasting blood sugar levels were studied in patients with various complications of diabetes like neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, keto-acidosis, cardiac and respiratory complications. There was a significant correlation between fasting blood sugar and glycosylated haemoglobin in normal subjects as well as in diabetic patients. There was a significant correlation between levels of glycosylated haemoglobin and blood sugar over preceding 4-6 weeks. Most frequent complication being retinopathy and keto-acidosis was associated with maximum glycosylated haemoglobin with poor metabolic control.
