ABSTRACT

Blood samples were tested for Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) and Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) from 75 patients visiting the OPD at Dhulikhel Hospital, Dhulikhel, Kavre, Nepal from 1st August 2010 to 30th October 2010. In the total sample of 75, 49 (65.3%) were male, 26 (34.7%) were female. The age range from 23 to 81 years the mean ± SD of age was found to be 54.81 ±12.287. The mean ± SD of HbA1c was found to be 7.43 ± 2.324 and for fasting blood sugar the mean ± SD was found to be 155.91 ± 67.931. Pearson correlation between fasting blood sugar and HbA1c was found to be (r= 0.683), which indicates the strong and positive correlations and the P value for these variables was (P<0.01 i.e. 0.000000000153), which was significant. Taken together our cross sectional study demonstrates that the HbA1c has a very good correlation with FBG level.
