Abstract
The study assessed the pattern of diabetes care in India. Data on investigations, drug prescription, review visits and education methods were obtained from different health centers. HbA1c tests and self monitoring practices were inadequate. Basic investigations and drug prescriptions were compromised. Screening for complications was not regularly done. The patients preferred treatment from private to public health sector. There is non adherence of established guidelines for diabetes care. There is a wide gap between translation of research findings and recommendations and their implementation during practice at all levels of health care in India.
