Abstract
Background: This study focused on diabetes and its complications of the number of patients. Methods: Blood samples of 200 patients with statistical questionnaires form are collected from the Center of Diabetes and Endocrinology at Al Sadr Hospital in Najaf city. The statistical questionnaires form designed especially for this study contains the age, weight, height, sex, marital status, occupation, type of diabetes, family history, and the period of the disease, housing, environment and complications of diabetes. Results: Statistical data from 2007 to 2013 years found that diabetes is growing significantly in Najaf city. The highest glucose concentration was 464 mg dl-1, whereas the lowest was 60 mg dl-1 in male blood samples. The average glucose concentration in male blood was 238.43 ± 9.58 mg dl-1, whereas that in female blood was 229.13 ± 7.55 mg dl-1. The result illustrates the increasing rates of diabetes in interval from 2007 to 2013 with good correlation coefficient of R = 0.93. Conclusions: This study showed that one hundred thirteen patients are dependence on insulin medication (antihypertensive of diabetes) and the effect of genetic factor for patients with diabetes is non-hereditary. The results showed that the neuropathy is more vulnerable to damage, followed by retinopathy for male and female. Heart diseases have no relationship with diabetic.
