Abstract

Objective: Analysis of the relationship between HbA1c, glucose level and the risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes type 2. Patients and methods: 1012 patients with diabetes type 2 (1943 eye) at Thai Nguyen National Hospital. A cross-sectional study. Results: - There are 16.2% of eyes with diabetic retinopathy, of which the most common damage are microaneurysms, retinal exudates and retinal hemorrhages. - There are 19,1% eye of  proliferative DR and 80,9% eye of  non-proliferative DR with different levels, in there moderate non-proliferative DR are highest rate with 46,5%. - HbA1c in the group of patients with diabetic retinopathy was 8.34 ± 1.81, which was statistically different from the group without diabetic retinopathy 7.46 ± 1.64 (with p < 0.001). - Glucose in the group with diabetic retinopathy was 8.36 ± 3.03, in the group without diabetic retinopathy was 7.24 ± 2.54 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: HbA1c and glucose level were important risk factors for diabetic retinopathy. Good control of HbA1c and glucose level will limit the development of diabetic retinopathy.
