Pakistan is among the top 10 countries with the highest prevalence of diabetes in the world with estimates reaching as high as 21.6% in adults aged 30–79 years. HbA1C is the most useful diagnostic tool to assess the control and progression of disease and related complications. However, the predictors of good and bad control are not well established in our population. Objective: 1). To assess the level of A1C control among type 2 diabetic patients. 2). To find out factors which can predict uncontrolled A1C. Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending the outpatient of Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolic Centre (DEMC) of Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. Period: June 2012 to Feb 2014. Material and methods: Total of 809 patients were randomly selected to assess A1C in this population. At the same time, we assessed other factors associated with uncontrolled A1C. Chart review of the included patients was done using a data collection sheet, structured for this purpose. Patient demographic data was gathered. Specific information including complications and laboratory results (HbA1C, Triglycerides (TG), Dyslipidemias) was collected. Diabetes complication data was obtained clinically and through laboratory workup. The outcome was calculated. Patients with A1C of |
