Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between glycemic status and ischemic stroke severity and functional outcomes in patients admitted to Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune. It categorizes patients into diabetic and non-diabetic groups based on HbA1c levels and random blood sugar, further dividing diabetics into well-controlled and poorly controlled subgroups. The research analyzes clinical parameters, stroke severity, and functional outcomes, concluding that there is no significant correlation between glycemic status at admission and stroke severity or functional outcome. The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive studies to understand the role of glycemic control in stroke management.
