The Diabetes mellitus describes a metabolic disorder of multiple aetiology characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbances of carbohydrate,fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion,insulin action, or both.The effects of diabetes mellitus include long-term damage,dysfunction and failure of various organs.
Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the Santhiram college & general hospital for 6 months (December 2020 – May 2021)to assess the macro vascular and micro vascular complications of diabetes mellitus and prone to surgery of diabetic complications by using case sheets, prescriptions in tertiary care teaching hospital.
Results: A total of 150 patients are included in this study.In patients with diabetic complications we have observed: Diabetic ulcer with cellulitis in 19, gangrene in 19, peripheral vascular disease in 6, gangrene with cellulitis in 11,Non healing diabetes foot ulcer in 35, Coronary artery disease 24, diabetic retinopathy 25, MI in 11 patients.Among all complications, non healing diabetic foot was observed to be more when compared to other diabetic complications.In the study performed in diabetic induced complications of patients, debridement was performed in 30% patients, Amputation were performed in 13%, skin grating was performed in 13% patients, Angioplasty were performed in 23% patients and lasix surgery performed in 13% patients.
Conclusion: In our study we conclude that out of 150 cases, male patients are more prone to diabetic complications than females.The patient counselling should involve in minimizing the incidence and prevalence of diabetes by conducting the continuing health education and other health programms.
