Diabetes is a global disease with rapid increase in both developed and developing countries. Hyperglycaemia is one remarkable feature of diabetes patients. As an important indicator of long-term blood glucose control, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) can reflect cumulative blood glucose for 2-3 months. The aim of this study was to find out association between on fasting blood sugar level and glycaemic control (HbA1C as a marker) in local type 2 diabetic patients and effect of the antidiabetic treatments. Selected patients were divided randomly in two groups each comprised of 50 patients. 50 were non-diabetic and 50 were diabetes mellitus patients. Fasting blood sugar and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) had shown a significant in study group. Improving medication adherence among type 2 diabetes patients is essential to achieve good glycaemic control.
