The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is growing rapidly worldwide and is reaching epidemic proportions. It is estimated that there are currently 382 million people have diabetes worldwide. About 80% live in low- and middle-income countries. If these trends continue, by 2035, some 592 million people or one adult in 10 will have diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications of uncontrolled diabetes. It occurs due to the microvascular changes in retina which leads to ischemia. The rate of development of micro vascular changes depends on the blood sugar levels and duration of the disease. Glucose toxicity is a key trigger for diabetic retinopathy. Objectives of the study was to find the association of diabetic retinopathy with dyslipidemia and hypertension and to determine the role of dyslipidemia and hypertension in progression of diabetic retinopathy.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Around half of them belonged to the age group of 60-69 years, followed by 51-59 years (24%). Around 18% belonged to age group of >70 years. Around 10% were of age less than 50 years with equal number of males and females. Approximately 12% had PDR and normal retinopathy findings each in both the eyes. 48.38% had NPDR findings in both the eyes. It was observed that as the duration of diabetes is increasing the chances of developing diabetic retinopathy are significantly high with P value of 0.00003. The association of blood sugar levels and development of diabetic retinopathy are significantly high. HbA1C was also significantly associated with diabetic retinopathy. Blood pressure levels and lipid levels were significantly associated with severity of retinopathic changes.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The study concluded that blood pressure levels, lipid levels increase the severity of diabetic retinopathy..</p> </div> </div> <div></div>
