Abstract: Objective To know the infection rates of HCV and HBV among the population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and whether the prolonged disease course and the application of insulin increase the risk of the promulgation of hepatitis viruses. Methods The differences on HCV infection rate and HBV infection rate between 188 hospitalized T2MD patients and 253 out-hospital T2MD patients were studied by a comparison of using transect method, the disease courses were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis, and whether the injection of insulin is a risk factor for the spreading of the viruses of hepatitis was analyzed. Results The positive rates of HbsAg and anti-HCV among the hospitalized T2MD were higher than those among the T2MD patients in the Epidemiological Investigation (12.2% vs. 9. 6% ;2.7% vs. 1.6%). But, the difference had no statistical significance (P > 0. 05). Conclusions The length of disease course and the application of insulin do not increase the risk of spreading HBV and HCV viruses.
