    abstract = {The aim of the study is to analyse the association of HbA1C and Renal
Parameters with Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in 70 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
patients. The mean creatinine level among participants is approximately
1.3 mg dLG1, with a standard deviation of 0.6. The p‐value associated with
the data is 0.001. A small p value suggests that there is a statistically
significant difference in creatinine levels between Type 2 DM patients
below and above 1.5 mg dLG1. Creatinine levels are essential for assessing
kidney function and overall health. Higher HbA1c levels were significantly
linked to the presence of ASB, with 33.33% of patients with HbA1c levels
between 8 and 9% being ASB positive (p = 0.001). Elevated urea levels
(>25 mg dLG1) were strongly correlated with ASB, as 80.95% of patients
in this category were ASB positive, compared to only 19.05% of those
with lower urea levels (p = 0.001). Furthermore, higher creatinine levels
(>1.5 mg dLG1) were significantly associated with ASB, with 85.71% of
such patients being ASB positive, whereas only 14.29% of patients with
creatinine levels below 1.5 mg dLG1 were ASB positive (p = 0.001). HbA1c
and urea and creatinine levels, important for assessing long‐term blood
sugar control and kidney function, showed significant differences.
Asymptomatic Bacteriuria (ASB), bacterial isolates and treatment
approaches also play crucial roles in managing Type 2 DM and related
conditions.Hence the regular screening and rigorous management of
blood sugar and renal parameters are essential in mitigating the risk of
ASB and preventing potential complications in diabetic patients.}
