الملخص EN

Objectives.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with ketosis was common because of late diagnosis and lacking adequate treatment in rural regions of China.

This study aimed to provide the data of T2D with ketosis among inpatients in a south-west border city of China.

Methods.

Data of 371 patients of T2D with ketosis who were hospitalized between January 2011 and July 2015 in Baoshan People’s Hospital, Yunnan, China, were analyzed.

New-onset and old-diagnosed T2D patients presenting with ketosis were compared according to clinical characteristics, laboratory results, and chronic diabetic complications.

Results.

Overall, the blood glucose control was poor in our study subjects.

Male predominated in both groups (male prevalence was 68% in new-onset and 64% in old-diagnosed groups).

Overweight and obesity accounted for 50% in new-onset and 46% in old-diagnosed cases.

Inducements of ketosis were 13.8% in new-onset and 38.7% in old-diagnosed patients.

Infections were the first inducements in both groups.

The prevalence of chronic complications of diabetes was common in both groups.

Conclusions.

More medical supports were needed for the early detection and adequate treatment of diabetes in rural areas of China.
