Abstract
The study's objective is to determine how common type 2 diabetes mellitus problems and comorbidities are
among patients at the government general hospital in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh. Goals: To calculate the
frequency of co-morbidities and complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes. to evaluate the substantial
correlation between complications and the length of diabetes. Methodology: Prospective observational studies
were carried out on 800 patients in a tertiary care hospital's general medicine department who met the study's
eligibility requirements. The information was gathered using carefully crafted proformas in accordance with
the requirements, and it was then examined. Patients with diabetes who are between the ages of 18 and 80 are
eligible. Patients with diabetes who are younger than 18 or older than 80 are not eligible. Individuals with
gestational diabetes and type 1 diabetes mellitus are not included. Results: Of the 800 patients, 407 (50%) had
HTN, 109 (13.6%) had CLD, 96 (12%) had pancreatitis, 83 (10.3%) had dyslipidemia, 77 (9.6%) had gastritis,
and 48 (6%) had CKD. Patients with type 2 diabetes complications include 185 (23.1%) with CVD, 169
(21.1%) with CVA, 126 (15.7%) with neuropathy, 123 (15.3%) with retinopathy, 113 (14.1%) with
nephropathy, 107 (13.3%) with diabetic foot ulcers, and 63 (7.8%) with ketoacidosis. 342 (42.7%) of the
study's participants had diabetes for less than five years, whereas 190 (24%) have it for six to ten years, 120
(15%) for eleven to fifteen years, 80 (10%) for sixteen to twenty years, and 68 (9%) for more than twenty
years. In conclusion: Patients with diabetes for less than five years were the primary focus of this research. Of
them, 0.8% had nephropathy, 2.1% had CVD, 1.8% had CVA, 1.2% had diabetic foot ulcers, 0.6% had
ketoacidosis, 0.3% had retinopathy, and 1% had neuropathy. 2.5% of patients have nephropathy, 3.3% have
CVD, 3% have CVA, 2.2% have diabetic foot ulcers, 0.9% have ketoacidosis, 1.8% have retinopathy, and
1.3% have neuropathy after six to ten years of illness. 3.8%, 5%, 4.4%, 2.9%, 1.5%, 3.2%, and 3.5% of people
with diabetes between the ages of 11 and 15 had nephropathy, CVD, CVA, diabetic foot ulcers, ketoacidosis,
retinopathy, and neuropathy, respectively. The incidence of complications grows with the length of diabetes
and eventually results in mortality.
