Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus, a prevalent chronic metabolic disorder, poses a global health challenge with escalating rates. HbA1c is a conventional marker for glycemic control but lacks efficacy in predicting diabetic complications. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) emerges as a promising inflammatory marker in various disorders, including diabetes. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the correlation between NLR and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method Patients with diabetes attending the medicine department of AIMS BG Nagara from October 2023 to February 2024 were included. Exclusion criteria encompassed various conditions affecting inflammation. Institutional ethics clearance and patient consent were obtained. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS v23.
