Evaluation of fasting Blood Sugar, Glycosylated Hemoglobin, and total Cholesterol in in the individuals affected with Diabetic Retinopathy.

Abstract

Background: Individuals who have diabetes are at an increased risk for several microvascular and macrovascular issues, including the well-known microvascular condition diabetic retinopathy (DR). Those who have diabetes have an increased risk for a variety of cardiovascular and vascular disorders. Aim: Therefore, the aim of this study is to study glucose profile and total cholesterol in diabetic retinopathy. Materials & methods: After institutional ethics committee approval, research authors would commence. Participants gave informed consent before the study began. The study included 100 diabetic retinopathy patients and 100 healthy controls. Indore's Index Medical College & Research Centre (IMCRC) outpatient departments would evaluate both groups. This prospective observational study follows Indore IMCHRC Ophthalmology patients. Ophthalmoscopy and a fundus fluorescein angiography were also components of this test. After that, the ETDRS Grading System was utilized to provide each patient with a score that reflected the degree to which their retinopathy was affected. Results & Conclusion: FBS levels correlated with diabetic retinopathy severity. This study compared diabetic retinopathy patients to healthy controls. HbA1c values correlated with diabetic retinopathy stage. HbA1c levels were significantly inversely related to diabetic retinopathy severity. Whole blood cholesterol levels were linked to diabetic retinopathy severity in this investigation of healthy controls and DR patients. Twenty-three of fifty-seven retinopathy patients had elevated total cholesterol.
