The HbA1c measurement is the valuable parameter which is widely used for management of diabetes control. The purpose of this study was to find the effect of insulin, oral drug, diet and exercise therapy on HbA1c levels.The mean and one standard deviation for HbA1c levels of 198 sepecimens (143 NIDDM and 55 IDDM) were 10.94%+2.45 for all diabetic patients. 10.62%+2.45 for IDDM, 11.07+2.49 for NIDDM respectively, whose level was a little higher than in comparison with a few other studies. In order to evaluate the effect of insulin, drug diet and exercise on controlling diabetic subjects, the mean and standard deviations of specimens HbA1c was calculated via questionnaires and it was analyzed by t-test. A significant effect of diet on HbA1c levels was observed (P<0.05) but the effect of insulin and exercise on HbA1c level was not significant, which seems probably poor insulin and exercise therapy in these patients. The val drugs which Control blood glacose delined HbA1c level significantly (P<0.05), this indicates that using oral drug by diabetic patients is easier than insulin injection.
