ABSTRACT
The prospective cohort study analyzes the prevalence of microvascular complications at the time of dia-gnosis type 2 diabetes (DM 2). We were monitoring 200 outpatients (117 men and 83 women, aged from 30 to 92 years) with newly diagnosed and previously untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus during the period of August 2007 -â August 2011 accidentally sending GP or internists. Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in men was 0.85% and in women 1.2%. The prevalence of diabetic distal symetric polyneuropathy in men was 53% and in women 62%. The median of glomerular filtration based on a simplified MDRDâ4 equation (according to the study Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) was 1.27 ± 0.6 ml/âs/â1.73 m2 for men and 1.05 ± 0.32 ml/âs/â1.73 m2 for women. At baseline, 16.6% of men and 46.2% of women enrolled in our cohort study had glomerular filtration rate < 1 ml/âs/â1.73 m2.
