Abstract :

Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most challenging health problems in this century. Various ENT manifestations are known to occur in diabetes. In this study, we have enlisted different ENT manifestations seen among people suffering from diabetes. Materials and methods: This is a prospective study which was conducted over a period of two years. 300 patients with pre–existing or newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus as per the National Diabetes Data Group and World Health Organization issued diagnostic criteria with or without ENT symptoms were examined and findings were documented Results: Among the 300 patients, 228 had ENT manifestations (76%) ranging from inflammatory to non–inflammatory associations. SNHL was the most common non–inflammatory condition. Among the inflammatory conditions, furuncle was the commonest association. Awareness regarding such associations will help in early interventions resulting in less complications and better quality of life
