TI  - A hospital-based observational study of type 2 diabetic subjects from Gujarat, 
      India.
PG  - 265-72
AB  - The aim of this observational study was to describe the profile of subjects with 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus from Gujarat, India. The study was performed with 
      newly-diagnosed 622 type 2 diabetic subjects who attended the Department of 
      Diabetology, All India Institute of Diabetes and Research and Yash Diabetes 
      Specialties Centre (Swasthya), Ahmedabad, during August 2006-January 2009. The 
      subjects completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire 
      included variables, such as sociodemographic factors, presenting symptoms, risk 
      profile (hypertension, obesity, dyslipidaemia, and glycaemic status), family 
      history of diabetes, physical activity, and behavioural profile. Blood pressure, 
      body mass index (BMI), glycosylated haemoglobin levels, and fasting lipid profile 
      were measured. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were carried out using the SPSS 
      software (version 11.5). In total; 622 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases with 
      mean age of 47.7 +/- 10.9 years were studied. Of the 622 subjects, 384 (62%) were 
      male. The majority (68%) of the T2DM subjects were obese, and 67% had a positive 
      family history of diabetes. Renal dysfunctions and vision impairment were, 
      respectively, found in 10% (n=62) and 9% (n=57) of the 622 T2DM subjects. The 
      mean HbAlc level was 9.02 +/- 1.67%, and good glycaemic control (HbAlc level <7%) 
      was achieved only in 7.4% of the T2DM subjects. Results of chi-square analysis 
      showed that higher BMI (> or =25 kg/m2) was significantly associated with 
      hypertension among the T2DM subjects (p < 0.01). There were significant 
      differences (p < 0.05) between male and female subjects with respect to mean age, 
      BMI, waist- and hip-circumference, and mean low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level. 
      The results revealed that many factors, such as obesity, family history of 
      diabetes, dyslipidaemia, uncontrolled glycaemic status, sedentary lifestyles, and 
      hypertension were prevalent among the T2DM subjects. The characterization of this 
      risk profile will contribute to designing more effective and specific strategies 
      for screening and controlling T2DM in Gujarat, India.
