Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease or a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Now, it is a major public health problem in all over the world. Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fails to respond to insulin properly. The primary cause is excessive body weight and not enough exercise. Type 2 DM may be treated with medications with or without insulin. Materials and Methods:Study Design: Hospital based retrospective study. Study Settings: Aravind Eye Hopital, Thavalakuppam, Pondicherry. Sample Size: 200. Sampling Technique: Simple Random Sampling technique.Study Period: January to March 2013. Study Participants: Patients with and without Type 2 DM and with those who are having hypertension with aged ≥ 34 years were included in this study. Study Variables: age, gender, HbA1C, HDL, triglyceride, family history of DM, duration of hypertension. Study Tool: Predesigned and pre-tested questionnaire was used for data collection. Statistical Analysis: Mean, S.D, Proportion, Univariate and for finding the probability of developing DM by using Binary logistic regression analysis. Softwares Used: Microsoft Excel software 2010 was used for data entry and data analysis was done by using statistical software SPSS 20 version.Statistical Significance: If p < 0.05 was taken to be statistically significant. Results: Among 200 patients, 134 (67%) were male and 66 (33%) female and the mean age of the patient was 56.54 ± 9.51 years (range: 34 – 83 years). The mean values of HbA1C, HDL, triglyceride, family history of DM, duration of hypertension were 7.27 ± 2.64% (range: 3.1 – 13.2 %), 39.84 ± 7.65 (range: 20 – 65) in mg/dl, 70.63 ± 11.94 (range: 44 – 116) in mg/dl, and 6.22 ± 3.82 years (3 – 24 years) respectively. All these factors were statistically significant found by binary logistic regression model except the factor gender. Conclusion: This study concluded that the HbA1C and the family history of DM are the most prominent and independent risk factors for the progression or developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus in a hypertensive adult individual. The other co-factors like age, HDL, triglyceride, duration of hypertension were also independently associated with the development of DM except the factor gender.
