Abstract :
Background:
Estimation of glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine in diabetic patient for the assessment
of glycemic control isgaining importance now a day. Little data is available about assessment of
fructosamine in our area. Hence the present study was undertaken to know the levels of fructosamine
in diabetic patients.
Material and Methods:
Total 150 subjects were involved in present study and divided into two groups. Out of 150
subjects 50 were healthy subjects and 100 type II diabetes mellitus patients. In all subjects, fasting
blood glucose level, postprandial blood glucose level, glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine were
measured.
Results:
Fasting and post prandial blood glucose was significantly increased in diabetic patient as
compared to healthy controls (P < 0.001). Moreover, the glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine
levels were significantly increased in diabetic patient (P < 0.001). However, when these parameters
were used to see the difference between males and females, there was no statistical difference seen.
Conclusion:
The results of current study show that glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine levels are
significantly increased in diabetic patients and measurement of fructosamine is having more
importance than glycated haemoglobin.
