Prevalence and determinants of complications of type 2 diabetes in a community screening program in Kerala
There is a high prevalence of peripheral vascular disease, PN and retinopathy in Kerala. Retinopathy is more likely with longer duration of type two diabetes and high HbA1c levels. Older age and longer diabetes duration increase the risk of neuropathy, while PAD is more common in urban areas. This highlights the need to include regular screening through the public health system.
