ABSTRACT
Diabetes Mellitus is a worldwide common metabolic disorder. Increasing prevalence of diabetes; lack of proper education about the nature and course of the disease and necessary control are the main factors for an early onset of micro vascular complications. Objective:
To correlate between retinopathy; nephropathy and neuropathy; among adult Sudanese diabetic patients at Elshaab Teaching hospital; Ahmed Gasim Teaching hospital and Gabber Abu Eleaz centre; from December 2006 to September 2008. were included.Result:
Male to female ratio was1.41.Common age group affected was 60-69 (32.4).Common duration of diabetes mellitus was 20-24 years (23.9).All patients who had diabetes for 25 years or more had developed complications (19.7).The commonest long term microvascular complication was found to be retinopathy (71.2); followed by neuropathy (69) and nephropathy (50.7).It was found that (47.6) of our patients had the three complications.Conclusion:
Long-term micro vascular complications affect male more than female; with average age of onset 60-69 years. All patients who had diabetes for 25 years or more had developed complications. Retinopathy is the most common micro vascular complication; followed by neuropathy. There is a significant correlation between retinopathy; nephropathy and neuropathy in association with the duration and control of blood glucose level
