A total of 766 patients were enrolled at SIDER (Sakina Institute of Diabetes and Endocrine Research Center) who visited Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Only pre-diagnosed diabetic subjects were included. All the data was analyzed statistically and p˂0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Out of 766 patients, 309 (40.3%) were male and 457 (59.7%) females. Mean BMI, age and BSR were 29.26 kg/m2, 48.72 years and 264.12 mg/dl, respectively. In the Low /Lower middle and upper middle/high socioeconomic status patients, mean HbA1c was 11.09±3.46 (p=0.001) and 10.04±3.33 (p=0.001), respectively. In male and female, the mean HbA1c was 10.54±3.36 (p=0.025) and 11.02±3.52 (p=0.001), respectively. In the normal and overweight BMI group, the mean HbA1c was 7.14±1.30 (p=0.025) and 11.42±3.33 (p=0.001), respectively.
