| A major headache with diabetes is that it is an Iceberg disease. The In apparent, the undiagnosed proportion of subjects with diabetes is on the increase in emerging parsimonies like India due to the less developed healthcare systems. The recent IDF atlas estimates that in India alone, around 36.0 million people are living undiagnosed with diabetes, which also has led to the increasing burden of complications which are irreversible in the long term like the vascular complications especially affecting the eyes, the heart, the kidneys and the nerves. But the number of studies conducted on the subject are relatively scarce from India. Since the pathophysiological mechanism of occurrence of chronic complications may differ between population groups, scientific knowledge based on studies conducted on native populations is extremely vital. This knowledge may enhance our understanding about the role of the association with various blood indices and may enable us to device appropriate therapeutic strategies. The current study an attempt to enhance our understanding on the subject.ddd |
