Methods: 40 cases of type 2 DM with duration of 8 to 12 yrs and 40 controls of both males and females in the age group of 40 to 65yrs were selected. Laboratory investigations like fasting glucose and lipid profile (fasting) were taken. Results: In the present study the levels of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins, triglycerides were high and the levels of high density lipoproteins were low in the type 2 diabetics compared to controls.
