Data collected onset, HbA1c levels, height, weight. variables analyzed by using Pearson test. Result: Twenty-six joined mean 8.38 ± 3.07 years. One (3.8%) patient had good control, 8 (30.8%) intermediate, 17 (65.4%) poor control. Around 73.1% normal height 65.4% weight [(r=0.774, p=<0.000); (r=0.555, p=0.003)] respectively. [(r=0.224=0.271); −0.36, p=0.86)]. Conclusion: There status. It very important monitor Mellitus patient.
