Type II diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most prevalent endocrine disease. It is expected to double over the next two decades. Changes in lifestyle, increase in weight caused by overeating and lethargy play an important role for increasing of type II diabetes . By the time the patients are diagnosed with type II DM, most of them have already developed macro and microvascular complications such as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). According to a report by the ADA the most frequent cause of blindness among adults aged 20-75 years is DR . Appropriate diet, regular exercise and early detection can reduce the risk of DR. Duration of diabetes, level of glycemic control, hypertension, deranged lipid pro?le, obesity, proteinuria, pregnancy and socioeconomic status play important role for development of DR, out of which duration of diabetes and inadequate level of glycemic control are the most important. The gold standard to assess average blood glucose concentration over three months is HbA1c levels. The normal value of HbA1c, that is in non-diabetic individuals is below 6.4%. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between HbA1c levels, duration of diabetes, BMI and DR in the patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
