Abstract

Under normal physiological conditions plasma glucose concentrations are maintained within a narrow range despite wide fluctuations in supply and demand through a tightly regulated and dynamic interaction between tissue sensitivity to insulin (especially in liver) and insulin secretion. After initial screening, demographic details of the patient like patient identifier, age, gender, height, weight, smoking history, alcoholism history were recorded in case record form (CRF). Other relevant history like history of coronary artery disease (CAD), history of stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), history of peripheral arterial disease, autonomic neuropathy, retinopathy and renal disease was also noted in CRF. Mean values of fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels were 128.20±19.80 and 172.82±14.85 respectively. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) mean level was 8.36±0.28. Mean duration of Diabetes was 11.16±2.12 years.
