The Diabcare-Asia Singapore 1998 project was carried out using data from 22 centres collected on paper forms to provide an overview of @entity6 management and metabolic control status in 1697 @entity6 @entity1 from both @entity922 ( @entity922 ) (67%) and @entity580 ( @entity580 ) (33%) settings. @entity922 @entity1 were on average older than @entity580 @entity1 (61.3 +/- 11.2 years vs 51.5 +/- 17.7 years), and had a shorter duration of diagnosed @entity6 (9.2 +/- 6.8 years vs 12.0 +/- 8.5 years). The mean body mass index (BMI) for @entity922 @entity1 was 25.5 +/- 4.4 kg/m2 vs 24.5 +/- 4.2 kg/m2 for @entity580 @entity1 . Proportionately more @entity922 than @entity580 @entity1 were overweight (BMI >25 kg/m2) (49% vs 42%). @entity1 with @entity1723 constituted 3.5% of @entity922 vs 18.1% of the @entity580 cohort. HbA1c information was available for 92.5% of @entity580 vs 69% of @entity922 @entity1 . @entity4051 c measurements were <1% above ULN in 50% of @entity922 vs 37% of @entity580 @entity1 , while FBG was >7.8 mmol/l in >61% of all @entity1 . @entity644 (>500 mg/24 hrs) was reported in 13% of @entity922 vs 26% of @entity580 @entity1 tested. Microalbuminuria (20-300 mg/l) was noted in 36% of 171 @entity580 @entity1 tested. Oral hypoglycaemic agents were used as sole therapy in 83.5% of @entity922 vs 43% of @entity580 @entity1 .
