The age range was 14-50 years with a mean of 34.3 years for the insulin-dependent patients while the age range and mean for the non insulin-dependent patients was 30-50 years and 45.7 years respectively. The range for the duration of diabetes mellitus was 0.5-312 months with a mean of 52 months for the insulin dependent patients while it was 1-228 months and 55 months respectively for the non insulin-dependent patient.s.
