Bacteremia in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is the most serious public health issue. Very limited information is available in this aspect with reference to complications. We hypothesized that abnormal increase in blood sugar levels may result in different bacterial infection associated with different categories of complications. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate and investigate the possible causes of bacteremia in T2D patients and its related complications in eastern region of the country where the data is unavailable to the best of our knowledge. The study included a total of 244 established T2D patients and 20 healthy controls in and around Bhubaneswar region, Odisha. Staging of T2D was done as per standard criteria into controlled and uncontrolled T2D. Blood samples were collected from all subjects including healthy controls and culture was done for bacterial isolatio.. View More»
