Abstract

Objective: To determine the correlation between hemoglobin and glycosylated hemoglobin level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Study Design: Cross Sectional Study.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemical, Combined Military Hospital, Multan Pakistan, from Jul to Dec 2019.
Subject and method; After approval from ethical community and written informed consent from the patient, sample were
obtained under strict aseptic technique and were immediately sent to hospital laboratory to detect glycosylated hemoglobin level.

Result: One hundred and ninety-five (195) patients were studied out of which (161) were female gender and (34) were male
gender. The correlation between hemoglobin and glycosylated hemoglobin level through Pearson correlation coefficient
shows a very low negative correlation of -0.253 which is statistically significant with p-value <0.001.

Conclusion; Correlation of hemoglobin and glycosylated hemoglobin level thus may prove to be useful and consistent
predictive indicator in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
