Objective-To find out the prevalence of left handedness in diabetic patients in Bundelkhand region and to compare the prevalence of left handedness in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Methods- This was a cross sectional study carried out in the general medicine and diabetic outpatient department of MLB Medical College, Jhansi from May 2011 to September 2011. A total of 1000 patients were recruited in this study out of which 500 were diabetic and 500 were non diabetic. Results- The prevalence of left handedness in our study was 5.6% i.e. a total of 56 people out of 1000 were left handed. In the diabetic group 4.6% of patients were left handed while 6.6% of non diabetic patients were found to be left handed which was statistically not significant. The prevalence of left handedness in type 1 diabetics was 5.1% which was much higher as compared to type 2 diabetics (4.5%).This was statistically significant. Conclusion-No evidence of increased prevalence of left handedness could be found in diabetes in our study. However the prevalence of left handedness was considerably more in type 1 diabetics as compared to type 2 diabetics. Keywords: Handedness, Diabetes |
