Abstract
This study investigated the pattern of yearly frequency distribution, as well as annual prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) amongst adult patients attending diabetes clinics at Government house clinic, Umuahia, Nigeria over a period of ten years. This was carried out by a retrospective review of patients clinical records at the Clinic from 2006 to 2016. The ages of subjects ranged from 25 to 85 years, with a mean value of 55.0 ± 12.80 years and comprised of both males and females, diagnosed with T2DM. The study was a longitudinal and descriptive one. Results obtained indicated that of the 17482 patients which attended the clinic within the 10-year study period, a total of 764 were diabetic, representing a prevalence rate of 4.40% and showed progressive increments in yearly prevalence with time. There was however a non linear increase in frequency of between 1.0% and 28.3 %, with the first 6 years of study showing a gradual increase and the last 4 years showing a rapid increae in T2DM. The yearly prevalence also followed a similar pattern of non linear increment of between 0.9 % and 7.1 %, with the first 6 years of study showing a gradual increase while the last 4 years showing a rapid increase in T2DM from 2006 to 2016.
