Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with several short term and long term complications which has led to adverse impact on overall wellbeing of such patients, in the form of severe morbidity and mortality risk. The subjects so included were subjected to a detailed clinical history with special emphasis on duration of illness and treatment history and a thorough clinical examination was done in each case. Quantitative data was expressed by mean and standard deviation and difference of means was observed by t test and qualitative data was expressed as percentages and difference between proportions was observed using appropriate test. 95% confidence level was used to quantify at risk values and factors. The glycemic parameters were significantly deranged in shift workers as compared to non-shift workers, with a difference of almost 4% in hBA1c levels (p value ) Similar statistically significant difference was noted in fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels also.
