Thus, control of diabetes plays the important role in preventing the chronic complications.

Materials and Methods: This is an analytic – cross sectional study performed on 288 diabetic patients having files in Fatemieh hospital diabetes clinic from 15th Aug. to 6th Sep. 2002.

Only in 5.9% of cases HbA1c was lower than 9% but in 14.2% it was higher than 11%. In this study, there was not observed any relation between HbA1c level and factors such as age, gender and treatment various methods, diet, oral drugs and insulin therapy.
