Abstract :
Background: Diabetes-related visual impairment is preventable through control measures. As diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy lack effective treatment, prevention is key. This study examines glucose, HbA1c, and hemoglobin to assess their impact on disease development and severity.
Materials and Methods: Study includes 100 case (diabetic retinopathy) and 100 control (diabetes without retinopathy) subjects. Further, case group was subdivided into subgroups according to its severity and depending on the presence of maculopathy. Thereafter, values of different renal parameters were compared between these sub groups.
Result: The mean FBS and PPBS values significantly correlate with diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity (P7.0. No significant relationship between HbA1c and DR severity (P=0.302) was found. Elevated HbA1c in cases (P
