Abstract:- This is a retrospective study in which 254 case notes of diabetes inpatients and outpatients were randomly selected from the medical record department of the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan and thoroughly studied. The study which was conducted between the 3 months period of June and October 2007 consisted of 156(61.4%) males and 98 (38.6%) females diabetic patients. Forty eight (18.9%) patients were aged below 30 years, 28 (11.0%) aged between 30-39 years, 27(10.6%) between 40-49 years, 59 (23.2%) between 50-59 years, 56 (22.0%) aged 60-69 years while 36 (14.2%) aged 70 years and above. Ninety (35.4%) patients had type 1 DM, 162 (63.8%) had type 2 DM, while 2 (0.8%) had gestational DM. One hundred and thirty (52.0%) were on antidiabetic monotherapy, while 120 (48.0%) were on antidiabetic combination therapy. Other concomitant drugs prescribed were 103 (53.9%) ACEIs, 98 (40.7%) calcium channel blockers, 101 (41.9%) diuretics, 91 (37.8%) aspirin, 7 (2.9%) lipid lowering drugs, and 197 (81.7%) antibiotics. Diabetic complications documented include 4 (2.2%) hyperglycemic coma, 13 (7.1%) peripheral neuropathy, 36 (19.8%) diabetic foot ulcer, 47 (25.8%) diabetic neuropathy, 48 (26.4%) diabetic nephropathy, and 23 (12.6%) diabetic retinopathy.
