M is an extremely common metabolic disorder with
great public health influence because of its harmful
consequences triggering severe end-organ damage, including
cardiovascular and neurological complications, diabetic
retinopathy, and diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, the aim of
the present study was to determine the complications and
comorbidity of DM in Northern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Methodology:
Records of 50 diabetic patients were retrieved
from King Khalid Hospital, Hail, KSA. Different complications
and comorbidities were recorded and analyzed.
Results:
Peripheral neuropath, retinopathy, diabetic septic
foot, and amputation were identified among 20/50(40),
19/50(38%), 7/50(14%), and 2/50(4%), respectively. Out of
the 50 patients, 12/50(24%), 18/50(36%) and 8/50(16%)
were found with thyroid diseases, dyslipidemia and renal
complications, in this order.
Conclusion:
Diabetes complications and comorbidities
including peripheral neuropath, retinopathy, diabetic septic,
thyroid diseases, dyslipidemia and renal complications need
to be considered in epidemiological studies, so as to monitor
disease burden and quality of diabetes care.
