Abstract

Type 2 Diabetic patients were observed for the following parameters like BMI, FBS, PPBS, Cholesterol, HDL and LDL in the serum of both Men & Women. World Health Organization estimates that more than 180 million people worldwide have diabetes and this number will double by 2030. It is estimated that 1.1 million people died from diabetes and 80 percent of diabetes deaths occur in low and middleincome countries. The level of blood glucose in Men Type 2 Diabetic patients both in FBS and PPBS are 60-117mg/dl and 180-354 mg/dl respectively. Whereas in women patients it is from 89 - 112 mg/dl and 220 - 356 m g/dl respectively. The observed fasting blood sugar level is normal, whereas the PPBS is high both in Men and Women Type 2 Diabetic patients. BMI shows obesity which ranges between 24-36 kg/m2 in men and 26- 48kg/m2 in women. When we analyze the cholesterol level, the range is below 240 mg/dl, which is between 133-234 mg/dl, in men and 170-188mg/dl in women. Estimated correlation between BMI and Cholesterol shows a negative correlation of -0.005 in men and -0.003 in women. The higher level of glucose in the serum of PPBS could be because of impaired glucose metabolism of insulin resistance.
