hyperglycaemic patients, newly detected diabetics, had large-sized haemorrhagic lesions > 10 mm diameter and 83.3% of the known diabetics had large-sized haemorrhagic lesions (> 10 mm diameter). The small-sized lesions (up to 5 mm diameter) occurred in only euglycaemic patients (40%). Medium-sized lesions (> 5 mm up to 10 mm) were present only in euglycaemics (40%) and 16.7% of known diabetics (Table IV). The clinical outcome of the patients is shown in Table V. A poor clinical outcome was more in stress hyperglycaemics, newly detected diabetics, and known diabetics. All the stroke patients in the newly detected diabetic group expired (100% mortality rate) and 66.7% of all the known diabetics left hospital as their condition deteriorated. Thus, a positive correlation is ultimately established between type, size of stroke, and diabetic status.
