- Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes could be a condition wherever individuals do not turn out enough hypoglycemic agent to satisfy their body’s wants and/or their cells do not respond properly to hypoglycemic agent. Hypoglycemic agent is vital as a result of it moves aldohexose, a straightforward sugar, into the body’s cells from the blood. It conjointly includes a range of alternative effects on metabolism. Aim: The aim of the study is to study the prevalence of diabetes with the study of fingerprints. Materials and Methods: Fingerprints of 60 individuals, 30 cases and 30 controls, were taken manually with stamp pad ink in a clear paper and studied according to principles of dermatoglyphics with the help of magnifying glasses. The patterns analyzed were loops, arches, and whorls. Results: There was a significant increase in the number of loops and a significant decrease in the number whorls in individuals with diabetes in comparison to the individuals without diabetes. Conclusion: The results show that there is a change in the fingerprint in individuals with diabetes which shows that this can be used to predict and prevent the occurrence or prevent further complications through proper medication, etc.
