Abstract
Diabetes is a disease in which glucose utilization is hampered by cells due to insufficient secretion of insulin or an increase in insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone secreted from the beta cells of the pancreas, and in addition to the metabolism of glucose, it also participates in fat metabolism (inhibits fat synthesis, primarily triglycerides), and proteins (it has anabolic effect, stimulates protein synthesis). HbA1C refers to glycated hemoglobin (A1C), which identifies the average plasma glucose concentration. This assessment evaluates the quality of diabetes management, diagnosis of pre-diabetes and diabetes. By measuring glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), a complete picture of average blood glucose levels over a period of weeks / months can be obtained. For people with diabetes this is important as higher HbA1C, the greater is the risk of developing complications associated with diabetes. HbA1C is also called hemoglobin A1C or simply A1C. The normal value for this test is up to 48 mmol/mol, ie 6.5%, while analyzes with values above 6.5% are considered as high values and require further investigations to be carried out. For most laboratory blood tests, preparation is necessary that involves taking a sample (on an empty stomach) in the morning, 12 hours from the last meal.
The main goal of this paper is to determine the presence of diabetes in patients in the municipality of Delcevo. The data from the Public Health Institute Goce Delchev in Delcevo for a period of three years, from 2015 to 2017 were collected. Patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus with HbA1C test have been analyzed with this study in respect to their sex, place of residence and age. The results show that men are more likely to develop diabetes than women. According to the demographic structure, people living in the city are more likely to have diabetes than people living in the countryside. According to their age, the most frequent are patients aged 50-59 years who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
