Most often he predominated in the age of ≥65 years, with the range of 6 to 6.99% HbA1C of the most prevalent for the above variables; the place of urban residence with A1C of 7 to 7.99% was the most prevalent. Mild nonproliferative retinopathy occurred in 13 patients; 17 patients had moderate nonproliferative retinopathy; 9 patients with severe nonproliferative retinopathy and proliferative retinopathy occurred in 4 patients. There is a significant difference between the levels of glycated hemoglobin of diabetic retinopathy compared to the group without diabetic retinopathy group.
