Comparison of Micro- and Macrovascular Disease(s) in People With T2D, Who Have Moderate to Severe Acanthosis Nigricans vs. Those Who do Not Have Acanthosis Nigricans

Moderate to Severe Acanthosis Nigricans increases diabetes complications

Hypothesis: Moderate to severe acanthosis nigricans in people with T2D is associated with
 higher magnitude of complication than people who do not have acanthosis nigricans.
 
 Objectives: To correlate moderate to severe acanthosis nigricans with diabetes complication
 
 Methodology:
 
 T2DM patient will be recruited from endocrine OPD
 
 1. Clinical History and Examination:
 
 1. General Physical Examination: Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference,
 BMI, Blood Pressure, Hand grip. Acanthosis Nigricans.
 
 2. Complications Assessment: Patient will be analysed for:
 
 Micro Vascular
 
 (a) Diabetic retinopathy (i) Mild NPDR (ii) Mod NPDR (iii) Macular Edema / CSME (b)
 Neuropathy (Mild/Mod/Severe) (c) Chronic Kidney Disease (i) Micro/Macro albumin urea (ii)
 Increased Creatinine (iii) Decreased eGFR
 
 Macro Vascular
 
 1. Low ABI/PAD
 
 2. CVD-MI/PTCA/CABG/Heart Failure
 
 3. CVS-Stroke/ TIA/Carotid Blockage 50%
